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.

:eek::mad::rolleyes:

only in America folks...only in America...

What astounds me is the fact that two militant bands of angry citizens have incited vigilantism over this, before the courts have been involved, and the national leaders are mum.


Liberals either a: just want it to go away before they have to get involved, or b: have already judged Zimmerman.

It's like a Duke Lacrosse re-run, so far.

This will be around for a while, Richard.

You're welcome. Don't go away mad.

When you get out of your truck and decide to pursue a suspicious person you are playing cop. I don't care if the guy is white or hispanic, or if the kid is black. This guy brought a world of hurt on himself and some family by being stupid.
It's a gated community..... Get a good discription, call the cops, explain why he or his activity is suspicious and stay the hell in your truck. Simple!

I shall respectfully place that on my bookshelf between the works of Browning and Keats.

Classic :D

It will be interesting to see if these T-Shirts are allowed to worn at schools.

Better her...
 

...........Better her than for the family to wake up some morning and see the name registered to some fly by night organization raking in thousands of dollars using TM's name.

This is America after all.

If you have time, would you mind describing the entire incident in detail, so that we'll be as smart as you obviously are on the subject?

You were evidently on site, and witnessed the whole thing unfold...

Silly me.

I thought that the standard was to let the LEOs do the investigation and the case to be heard in court before deciding who is guilty of what.

I guess you already have all of the facts and a different concept of justice.

TR

I'll remember your words the next time a young 22 y/o mother is being stabbed to death in front of her 2 year old. (Happened last night 10 miles from where I live) Or the next time I watch a heavily armed individual step from his vehicle sporting an assault rifle heading into an elementary school.

It's a good thing most of "us" will not heed your words of warning. You see we've already made the decision and drawn that line in the sand, decades ago. I don't carry a weapon just for my personal defense, that would be very shallow of me. I carry because I know how long it takes for the police to arrive at a situation and how long it takes for them to make their decision to take action.

Chew on that for a while.

And yeah, I'm waiting for a court of law to decide this case, not the media or the nuts on either side of the issue.

LMAO!
 

Reminds me of that song..."money, Money, MONEY!":eek:

You are very right Sir, that is the standard. He should have taken your advice and let LEOs do the investigation. You are doing what you are accusing me of; jumping to conclusions. I never stated I believe he was guilty nor did I get into the race issue, my only opinion was that his actions were foolish.
If the kid was stabbing his girlfriend, by all means get out of your truck and shoot him in the head. Any real man would/ should do this if he has the means. However, jumping out your truck to pursue some suspicious person through your neighborhood is just plain stupid in my book.
I consider my self a very patriotic person, but I have no intensions of buying a Larue and go hunting terrorist in Afghan. Because i may loose contact with the terrorist I'm pursuing, have him double back and confront me at my truck, punch me in the nose and knock me to ground with one blow, then bash my head into the pavement.

Sometimes you have to know when to leave shit alone.

Amen. :munchin

SANFORD -- As thousands of people gathered here to demand an arrest in the Trayvon Martin case, a more complicated portrait began to emerge of a teenager whose problems at school ranged from getting spotted defacing lockers to getting caught with a marijuana baggie and women’s jewelry.

The Miami Gardens teen who has become a national symbol of racial injustice was suspended three times, and had a spotty school record that his family’s attorneys say is irrelevant to the facts that led up to his being gunned down on Feb. 26.

In October, a school police investigator said he saw Trayvon on the school surveillance camera in an unauthorized area “hiding and being suspicious.” Then he said he saw Trayvon mark up a door with “W.T.F” — an acronym for “what the f---.” The officer said he found Trayvon the next day and went through his book bag in search of the graffiti marker.

Instead the officer reported he found women’s jewelry and a screwdriver that he described as a “burglary tool,” according to a Miami-Dade Schools Police report obtained by The Miami Herald. Word of the incident came as the family’s lawyer acknowledged that the boy was suspended in February for getting caught with an empty bag with traces of marijuana, which he called “irrelevant” and an attempt to demonize a victim.

Trayvon’s backpack contained 12 pieces of jewelry, in addition to a watch and a large flathead screwdriver, according to the report, which described silver wedding bands and earrings with diamonds.

Trayvon was asked if the jewelry belonged to his family or a girlfriend.

“Martin replied it’s not mine. A friend gave it to me,” he responded, according to the report. Trayvon declined to name the friend.

Trayvon was not disciplined because of the discovery, but was instead suspended for graffiti, according to the report. School police impounded the jewelry and sent photos of the items to detectives at Miami-Dade police for further investigation.

A lawyer for the dead teen’s family acknowledged Trayvon had been suspended for graffiti, but said the family knew nothing about the jewelry and the screwdriver.

“It’s completely irrelevant to what happened Feb. 26,” said attorney Benjamin Crump. “They never heard this, and don’t believe it’s true. If it were true, why wouldn’t they call the parents? Why wasn’t he arrested?”

Trayvon, who was a junior at Dr. Michael M. Krop Senior High School, had never been arrested, police and the family have said.

“We think everybody is trying to demonize him,” Crump said.

No evidence ever surfaced that the jewelry was stolen.

“Martin was suspended, warned and dismissed for the graffiti,” according to the report prepared by schools police.

That suspension was followed four months later by another one in February, in which Trayvon was caught with an empty plastic bag with traces of marijuana in it. A schools police report obtained by The Miami Herald specifies two items: a bag with marijuana residue and a “marijuana pipe.”

The punishment was the third for the teen. On Monday, the family also said Trayvon had earlier been suspended for tardiness and truancy.

Trayvon was shot to death Feb. 26 while serving out his suspension in Sanford, where his father’s girlfriend lives. A neighborhood watch volunteer called the police to say he saw someone in a hoodie who looked high on drugs, and was suspicious because he walked too slowly in the rain. The unarmed teenager carried Skittles and iced tea, and was talking to his girlfriend on the phone, records show.
