Trayvon Martin's Mother Trying To Cash-In On Her Son's Death?

[dreadfulpenny00.livejournal.com]

Trayvon Martin's mother Sabrina Fulton filed applications to copyright "Justice For Trayvon" and "I Am Trayvon" less than a month after her son was killed.

The video above has no sound and shows the actual documents, complete with Sabrina Fulton's address and information about the law firm representing her. Some say she's filing for copyright on these phrases to keep others from cashing in, others say she herself is trying to profit from the death of her son. If she filed the papers for herself and plans on using any cash rewards toward a scholarship in her son's name, I think that would be admirable. But it would be a sick situation indeed if she were pocketing the money for her own personal benefit.

Let us hope it is to prevent from others from cashing in his name. I think it's more on timing issues that make people suspect, but we'll see.

Besides, between the Black Panthers' wanted poster and Al Sharpton's rally then reporting it on his MSNBC show, first things first.

Edit: Love your icon.

Can I copywrite "If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon." Cause, I really need rent money right now.
