Mother Seeks Trayvon Martin Trademarks
Records: Late teenager's kin filed pair of applications last week
MARCH 26--The mother of Trayvon Martin has filed two applications to secure trademarks containing her late son’s name, records show.Sabrina Fulton is seeking marks for the phrases “I Am Trayvon” and “Justice for Trayvon,” according to filings made last week with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. In both instances, Fulton is seeking the trademarks for use on “Digital materials, namely, CDs and DVDs featuring Trayvon Martin,” and other products.
The March 21 USPTO applications, each of which cost $325, were filed by an Orlando, Florida law firm representing Fulton.
Martin, 17, was shot to death last month during a confrontation with George Zimmerman, a 28-year-old neighborhood watch captain. Martin, pictured above, was visiting his father’s home in Sanford, Florida when he was shot to death by Zimmerman, who has claimed that he was acting in self-defense.

The usual suspects are at it again playing their race cards.Obama will never let a good crisis go to waste.
Do we no longer trust the Grand Jury process? Or did we only trust it when OJ Simpson was on trial?
Where is George Zimmerman's civil rights, when we see the Black Panthers, Spike Lee, the NAACP, Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, and the President of the United States already saying that he's guilty?
And all the rest of the racists in America already deciding he is guilty!
How can he get a fair trial when The Race-Card president speaks out against him?
And how come Obama and Holder don't speak out against what the the Black Panthers are doing?
How can he get a fair trial when Spike Lee, Holder, Al Sharpton and the Black Panthers stirs up the lynch mob along with the other race hustlers?
The New Black Panthers are no better than and reminiscent of the KKK.....
Timothy Reid...where'd YOU come from with that excellent analysis? Nice to have you here.
Imagine Holder not speaking out immediately about the NBPanthers? Imagine if a white group offered vigilante money for a black guy's capture?
And, I hope you read my post below...and the excellent comments there. WHY doesn't Obama get involved with the terribly frequent black on black crime?
It's as if he doesn't really care about the crime and someone DYING, just cares about a political moment where he can show his race card again. AWFUL
Thank you Z.
And to add to your wonderful post let me mention this.
And ask WHERE WAS OBAMA THEN?
Teens set kid on fire for being 'white boy'
MEENA HART DUERSON
Sunday, March 04, 2012
A 13-year-old boy who police say was doused with gasoline and lit on fire last week while walking home from school is recovering from first-degree burns to his face and head.
The boy was just two blocks from his home in Kansas City Tuesday when two teenagers began to follow him and then attacked him, his mother, Melissa Coon, said.
Police have described the suspects as black 16-year-olds, while the victim is white.
Speaking of capitalizing on Trayvon Martin's death: Team Obama Trying To Capitalize On Trayvon Martin Shooting: Tweets Out Link To Buy Official Hoodie Sweatshirt.
Timothy Reid is exactly correct:
How can he get a fair trial when The Race-Card president speaks out against him?
Z, there is so much going on with this thing, that it will be a miracle if we ever find out the truth about what really happened.
I was surprised to learn that it had happened weeks before, and not only within the past few days..it seems that the elapsed time between when it happened, and when it became so publicized, afforded a lot of people a lot of time to organize an awful lot of trouble, doesn't it?
Here, there is a shooting death of a black, by another/other blacks, almost every single week, and recently there were several in a single week, and most of them are by teens, or young adults.
Some of the victims have been small children, innocents killed in drive-by shootings, yet I have heard no cries of outrage from any of those taking full advantage of the tragedy in Florida.
There are protests taking place in various towns around here, concerning what happened in Florida, but nothing to protest the senseless killings going on right here.
It is almost like they're saying it is okay to kill each other, just better not be by a white person.
It is sick.
I don't know what to think about the trademark thing, other than to wonder about the neccesity of doing it, other than for monetary gain.
Personally, I find it as distasteful as the the tee shirts put out by the Obama Campaign with words which say that the Obama Health Care Reform is still a "BFD."
What has happened to dignity in this country?
Timothy, what a terribly sad story! And where is OBAMA ON THAT??
And who raises kids who'd BURN another boy ...and just for his color?
Remember when we could leave front doors unlocked and kids could play outside till it was dark and still be safe? Think it's conservative values which have created this monster scenario we're living in now? (as if)
AOW...I can't even take that in. My GOSH, the Obama thugs never miss a chance to capitalize on misery, do they. they're despicable.
Jan, very few have asked about why it took a MONTH to get this story out ... you're absolutely right, something's been in the making.
Someone, somewhere, has prepared a mess of a story in that 3-4 weeks before the story "Burst on the scene" ..!!
And people in your area are marching against Treyvon's death and not the death of black kids in your area?
it's breathtaking.
"And people in your area are marching against Treyvon's death and not the death of black kids in your area?"
Z, yes, here in the Cleveland area, it happens all the time, and I don't recall any protests against it, other than a few who talk about how dangerous some of the neighborhoods are.
Mr. Reid mentions the young boy who was set on fire, just because he was white, and I remember reading about that, but it was never highly publicized..just like when a little redheaded boy was found murdered, and burned, and Nancy Grace was all over that for days on end, but after it was discovered that a black woman had commited the act, I never heard a single other word about it.
Media is complicit in manipulating favor, or blame, pro, and con.
Show me da money...
Wow, you guys are sick.
This is all amazing.
Jan...that's so sad that the news stopped after finding that out.
Lib'man' is so funny!
WE're sick because we're looking for the truth !!!
To my friends:
Do you have an opinion on the Trayvon Martin case?
I don't want to hear it.
It is not my job to have an opinion of the case.
I have no idea about the facts of this case. That’s what we have juries and prosecutors for.
But Ed, we're not coming to conclusions, we're just upset by, for instance, the mother's trademarking her dead son's stuff.
And, as I said in the post below, I only asked why Obama is jumping to premature conclusions again and hasn't used black on black crime from which to lecture us on racism
We're not coming to conclusions here..that's what a jury is for, right?
Sorry, Z.
Not really germane was it?
It 's just that, as others have pointed out, this is another case of cafeteria style outrage, not a quest for justice.
Check out the faces of people marching in protest, smiling at the camera. It's an occasion to gather for the camera.
This kids death is being bought and sold for purposes unrelated to his death.
And now his mom (different last name) is cashing in, also.
SO.......do you think the Mom's doing this for financial gain or is afraid others would get this trademark and take advantage? z
It just means that mom has a smart lawyer/lawyers!
Jan, very few have asked about why it took a MONTH to get this story out ... you're absolutely right, something's been in the making.
Someone, somewhere, has prepared a mess of a story in that 3-4 weeks before the story "Burst on the scene" ..!!
Mebbe on the national level, but it's been our local news here in Florida from the get go. It's was a riot watching the local politicians throw as many people as possible under the 'ol political bus.
"Timothy, what a terribly sad story! And where is OBAMA ON THAT??"
First of all, President Obama was specifically asked about the Martin shooting at a presser. Mr. Obama did not voluntarily bring it up. He answered a reporters question.
As for the tragic burning by two young African Americans--both young men were arrested and taken into custody. The young man who was attacked suffered first degree burns on his face and head, and thankfully, did not die.
Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin. The police didn't arrest him. They just took his word that he killed the unarmed teen in defense. Of course, the unarmed teen was dead, so he couldn't tell his side of the story. We have to take Zimmerman's word--a guy who had been previously arrested for a felong--assault on a police officer.
Shaw Kenawe: The police didn't arrest him. They just took his word that he killed the unarmed teen in defense.
No, the police didn't' arrest him, they didn't take his word that it was self defense, they investigated. After they investigated they did what procedure called for, they gave the investigation to the attorneys. It was THEN up to the attorneys to prosecute OR send it to the grand jury, which is what they did......
I made the comment on the other thread, Shaw, the police offered their report with the suggestion of a manslaughter charge.
Ya wanna know what's going on?? Ask us Floridians!
Scotty, so you've known about this since the day it happened then? That's interesting. SO, the black pimps have just been winding up and now the big exposure..
Like most Floridians, I've watched it go from a small wisp of steam to full boil! I'm about an hour drive from where it all happen.
I saw a couple of quick clips of the family addressing the media.
Any guesses who was in the camera immediately to the left (from the TV view) of the family in every shot?
I didn't see them, but JESSE JACKSON?
I'm going to continue to play devil's advocate here and say that I believe if this ends up in a civil wrongful death suit, I'm betting zimmerman loses.
That's all that interests me. As far as sharpton, and all the politicians involved in this, screw them. They're not interested in the people, only the situation. Especially with an election coming up.
It was Sharpton. He's the new king of the race baiting. I noticed him wearing the crown as soon as Jackson's past history knocked him down a peg or two.
Sharpton plays the race card.
Allred plays the gender card.
Personally I find high priced call girls to be in a more honorable profession than either Sharpton or Allred.
This whole case is about Show Me The Money, Z.
I'm not getting the MONEY component..
except that the Obama campaign's twittering buying hoodies from them$$$
I know that's not what you mean, FW...what MONEY? I'm not following this.
other than if Mrs. Martin gets rich from having trademarked her kid's name, etc.?
Let me remind Shaw Kenawe and the other bleeding hearts that the Florida cops DID PERFORM an INVESTIGATION! And that's exactly why there hasn't been an arrest!!!!!
Could it be that they found evidence that shows there WAS reason for Zimmerman's shooting the "BOY"?
Could there "Possibly" a self defense reason?
Look Shaw Kenawe, you or I were not there, so could it be that "Possibly" Mr. Obama once again "JUMPED TO CONCLUSIONS"
Sorry Shaw Kenawe and the rest of you blind racist bleeding hearts, but I think so and I also think that is why these hasn't been any arrest as yet. There is more to this story than meets the eye. Surely even Blind Bleeding Heart Lib's like you can see that! Or should see that!
Rev Al to all white people...
"Donate to my causes or we'll BORK you just like we Borked George Zimmermann! The fact that you might be innocent OBVIOSULY doesn't matter. No Just Is, NO Peas!"
Zimmerman should start a trademark ammunition line.
"Shaw, the way for a dignified man of class and restraint to answer any question about a pending legal case is to say "I can't respond to that, I don't have enough details."
He blew it again..like he did with the Harvard Prof.
sad."
That's almost EXACTLY what he said. It appears you and others didn't like his very heartfelt, very human response about Trayvon looking like a son he might have had.
Obama's response:
"Obviously, this is a tragedy," he said. "I can only imagine what these parents are going through, and when I think about this boy, I think about my own kids, and I think every parent in America should be able to understand why it is absolutely imperative that we investigate every aspect of this, and that everybody pulls together -- federal, state and local -- to figure out exactly how this tragedy happened."
He went on.
"I think all of us have to do some soul searching to figure out how does something like this happen," said Obama. "And that means we examine the laws and the context for what happened, as well as the specifics of the incident."
You may not like what he said, but millions of other Amerricans believe his response was pitch perfect.
I'm not surprised you and others here don't.
More information comes out each day on what really happened. I just finished reading all the Tweets that Martin Tweeted on Twitter, some really nasty, racist, filthy stuff. He was not the baby-faced kids the media is portraying him to be.
As to whether he Zimmerman shot in self defense, it is looking more like that each day, but I will wait for the facts.
As to his parents, my heart goes out to any parent that loses a child so young. They are being used by folks like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and the Black Panthers. I can see no point in trademarking their son's name other than financial gain.

Right Truth

Timothy, thanks for that info.
Right Truth, it is looking more and more that GZ was attacked...hard to deny it now.
Shaw, believe what you will.
The point is WHERE HAS OBAMA BEEN ON BLACK ON BLACK CRIME? And, of course, he said much more than you're admitting to re this kid than I'd written.
I'm hoping the president at least tries to appear less racialist in the future; so far, no good.
I had high hopes, most of us did, that race relations would only improve. What moments this man has missed.
See, Conservatives believe that Black children, even when killed by Blacks, deserve media attention and the black pimps like SHarpton and Jackson marching in the streets.
"What has happened to dignity in this country?"
Obama became president. He takes the most serious issues and makes jokes about it. When he mocks things that people question about him,he is mocking America..
I guess when you have no good policies you take to the microphone for singing and stand up comedy. And people like Shaw will vote for him because he sings,is funny and oh so heartfelt. Please just gag me now.
We have to do some soul searching? What are we supposed to be searching for? Give me a break.
How about a job search in 2013 like the rest of us.
"Some reports say he was walking to his dad's, but did his dad live in that community? weird."
Yup...makes you winder why if...Dad did live there he wasn't aware of all the commotion and didn't miss the kid...who took a walk to a store...for 3 days?
Some Dad huh?
And Trayvon...ya did your momma good. You left her with nice legacy to cash in on. Something very unlikely if you had continued down the gangsta road and drugs.
Here's what I don't understand about the people who are questioning why "we" are just now getting more details into an incident that occurred a month ago.
Scott, you can correct me if I'm wrong here.
A month ago this was not a national story, it was a local one. Obviously we get the race baiters involved and suddenly becomes a national story and we have marches on all the big cities BEFORE the lies Sharpton, Farrahkan, Hank Johnson can be dispelled by releasing the details.
We, outside of the local area, are just now hearing the details because the eyewitnesses and the friends of GZ have obviously gotten sick of this rush to judgment in the media.
We now know the eyewitness account apparently did not differ from GZ's and did not differ from the 911 calls.
But let's not allow the facts that we now know to get in the way of race baiters to continue their lies.
I heard one of them this morning (can't remember which one) say that GZ had gone into hiding FROM THE POLICE, when in fact it has been stated that he's in hiding because of the people like Spike Lee that see nothing wrong with publishing what Lee thought was GZ's home address.
What was Lee's motivation to post the address? It was because he believed the American justice system, right? Or was his motivation to incite vigilante justice?
So, would the outrage still be inciting marches and Congressional notice if GZ had been black? TM's mother today apparently told Congress today she wanted GZ arrested. Arrested for what? People aren't arrested if the investigation shows that the shooter was injured, the eyewitness accounts match the shooter's story, that the 911 tapes do not conflict with the details we now know.
Rita, you have heard the New Black Panther Party (which CNN was quick to discount from the true BBP!, cracked me up!) has offered 10 Grand for GZ's arrest, right?
I'm amazed Lee revealed GZ's address; but you and I could find it anyway...on the internet.
He's hiding from that, not the cops. I'm fearful for his family, frankly.
and his friend Joe Oliver and the witness 'JOHN'...he'd better stay anonymous or he could be in big trouble for saying everything GZ has said is true; he witnessed it.
"Joe Oliver and the witness 'JOHN'...he'd better stay anonymous or he could be in big trouble for saying everything GZ has said is true; he witnessed it..."
Neither of these men would be hard to find for the Bantu warriors of the NBPP....and I wonder what's "new" about black domestic terrorists anyway?
Without the Coward in Chiefs condemnation of these animals...these thugs...these criminals who have placed a bounty on a private citizens head...because he's "white"...demonstrates the depth of depravity of black nationalism.
Neither the NAACP nor La Raza will condemn these blood thirsty savages and as law abiding Americans...we should take note of this.
The "progressive" rats who remain silent on their criminal behavior...don't even realizer that these morons hold them too...in utter contempt...because they too are White.
They have sided with lawlessness in no uncertain terms...so much for the panting slobbering "justice" seekers of the loser left.
Welcome to the Dis united states of the new Zimbabwe ...where racial "justice" has sunk to it's lowest since the 50's when yellow dog democrats were doing the lynching.
Now it's the blacks turn.
From what I understand Z is that Lee actually tweeted an incorrect address which was the home of some woman.
Can you imagine what SHE went through and probably still is?
I'm more concerned with those that Sharpton and apparently most of the members of the Black Congressional group are inciting than even the Black Panthers at this point.
The march yesterday afternoon in Indianapolis was estimated to be a crowd of 2,000.
This is in the same city that did NOT have rioting when Martin Luther King was assassinated BECAUSE Robert Kennedy was here in the city that night and he was able to keep the crowds calm by the words he spoke.
Imp...imagine the DOJ not condemning the New Black Panther Party for VIGILANTE notices for GZ?
And the hilarious CNN woman the other day who actually said "the New Black Panther Party which is not really associated with the Black Panthers" as if she had to stick up for the Panthers!?
I said this to leftwing commenter somewhere up the thread and I stand by it:
"See, Conservatives believe that Black children, even when killed by Blacks, deserve media attention and the black pimps like Sharpton and Jackson marching in the streets." (as if they should at all!)
This whole thing is all about ginning up the black folks...and I hope those good people wake up and see it.
Obviously, TM wasn't killed as a martyr!, but the left's sure pounced on this as a 'cause celebre' and some think they figured this might get Obama more black votes. ...what do you think?
Rita, my gosh, that poor woman! MAN! The crowds are looking utterly STUPID as the facts come out.
NO KID should be murdered because of what he wears or his color or ANYTHING but when a guy with a gun is smashed in the face, pounced on and has his head beaten into the sidewalk and doesn't know if the kid has a KNIFE, I guess what else could he DO?..
And there are the folks marching as if they didn't get their newspapers with the truth in them yet. :-)
"what do you think?"
This much is already clear—Barack Obama has lent the prestige of his office to the insinuation that this death came about solely and simply because of "American racism", and therefore, has forfeited any claim to be the great healer and uniter he postured as when he first ran for the Presidency.
The President dealt a whole deck of race cards. He became part of a narrative which led to school shut-downs and mass marches by enraged African Americans and death threats by Black Panther thugs.
He enabled race hustlers and shake down artists like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton to reclaim the nation's front pages with their warmed over charges that racism is "worse than ever."
Instead of putting out a fire, Obama chose to act as arsonist in chief.
In a cynical effort to energize the black voters who voted for him by a 98% margin four years ago, he willingly gave cover to the demagogues who are absolutely addicted to the idea that America is a racist society and who cannot live with the possibility that the U.S. is now or ever will be a nation where "race," which once counted for everything, now counts for very little.
And thus...the sniveling, opportunistic , disingenuous, racist in chief's "African-Americans" for Obama...now makes sense.
"What was Lee's motivation to post the address? It was because he believed the American justice system, right? Or was his motivation to incite vigilante justice?"
Spikey has been known for his hatred of whites and has made many incendiary, hateful, racist comments in the past. Not doing bad for himself in this "racist" America though...is he? But that's OK....he's black so he gets the 150 year old pass.
Frauds with big mouth and bling bling...disgust me. Fat Al fits that description too.
"Now Florida officials may have a chance to do what Eric Holder refused to do — bring these New Black Panther gangsters to justice once and for all.
America is not a land where thugs should be allowed to threaten free Americans who have been charged with no crime. Seminole County, Florida, is not Ox-Bow Canyon, where resolutions come quick by murderers with rope and a tree.
We can thank Eric Holder in part for the disgusting bravado we’ve seen from these lawless thugs over the last few days.
The New Black Panthers act like they are above the law because so far they have been.
Americans are taking renewed notice of the New Black Panthers and the politicians who have enabled them.
What sort of country have we become that racist uniformed thugs can stalk polls and threaten free citizens with mob arrest and murder?
Is this a post-racial America, or a wicked reminder of a lawless age we thought we had moved beyond forever?
"So what crimes may have the New Black Panthers committed in Florida with their threats toward George Zimmerman?
Let’s start with solicitation to kidnap. In announcing a reward for the seizure of Zimmerman, the New Black Panthers may have violated Florida Code 787.01. It makes it a felony to “by threat, confining or abducting, or imprisoning another person against his . . . will without lawful authority with intent to . . . terrorize.”
Merely soliciting someone else to do this is also a felony in Florida under Florida Code 777.04. “A person who solicits another to commit an offense prohibited by law and in the course of such solicitation commands, encourages, hires, or requests another person to engage in specific conduct which would constitute such offense or an attempt to commit such offense commits the offense of criminal solicitation.”
The solicitation and threat to seize Zimmerman may also constitute a crime under Florida Code 876.35. The felony of “combination against part of the people of the state” occurs when someone is unlawfully seized by a mob, or at the behest of a mob.
Think of a small town jail 100 years ago and an angry crowd, armed with rope, demanding a particular inmate. Sound familiar?
Florida Code 876.35 defines the crime: “to remove them forcibly out of this state, or to remove them from their habitations to any other part of the state by force, or [when people] shall assemble for that purpose.” Remember, solicitation to commit a crime is in itself a crime.
Florida Code 876.34 even makes it a felony to “interfere forcibly in the administration of the government.”
"Florida has an oddball law which may play a role as the facts of the Trayvon Martin case become clearer. Florida Code 843.20 is a criminal provision titled “Harassment of participant of neighborhood crime watch program.”
It makes it a misdemeanor to threaten or intimidate a member of a neighborhood crime watch program “while such member is engaged in. . . an organized neighborhood crime watch program activity.”
The law says that a neighborhood patrol includes a “crime watch program activity.” Of course, Zimmerman was on his neighborhood crime watch patrol when the tragic incident occurred.
This awful mess in Sanford is bad enough without the shrill race agitators like the New Black Panthers throwing gasoline on the fire.
But free speech is free speech, until you make threats and offer money to people to commit crimes.
There was a time in this country when criminal threats were treated as criminal threats.
There was a time when stalking polls on election day with a billy club was taken seriously.
Obviously we’ve lost something precious when thugs command the attention of a media unwilling to label them as thugs.
We’ve lost something precious when the most vile vigilantism not only goes unpunished, but seems to attract defenders, benefactors, and fans."
Georgia ROCKS!!!!
"DEKALB COUNTY, GA (CBS ATLANTA) -
The DeKalb Sheriff's Office Fugitive Squad Members arrested the New Black Panther Party's Chief of Staff, Hashim Nzinga, for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Nzinga, 49, recently announced that the New Black Panther Party is placing a $10,000 reward for the capture of George Zimmerman, the shooter of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
The DeKalb County Sheriff's Office said Nzinga was in possession of an FN Herstal 5.7x28 handgun. An investigation revealed that he pawned the gun at a Stone Mountain Pawn Shop on Rockbridge Road. According to the DeKalb County Sheriff's Office, Nzinga's convictions of felony deposit account fraud in Gwinnett County in February 2012 made this transaction illegal.
Nzinga was arrested at his probation office on West Oak Street in Lawrenceville on Monday. He was booked into the DeKalb County Jail. Bond information for Nzinga was not available."
Imp...Nzinga's PROBATION OFFICE? :-)
That tells a story in itself!
As for the panthers, imagine the DOJ not arresting them ALL for putting a bounty on Zimmerman's bashed-in head? Remember they stalked that voting precinct with night sticks..and got a pass.
Nobody'd speak up!..really? WHO WOULD AGAINST THEM?
