Source: Zimmerman to be charged in Trayvon Martin case

[Fury]

I'm not saying they aren't trying to make a profit but I see no proof

do you at least acknowledge that they could have done it (probably on the advise of an attorney) to protect their sons image and likeness from others who might attempt to exploit it for profit?

Hahaha, look at this guy try to rationalize the actions of his money-grubbing parents.

The first thing the families of all murder victims do is trademark their dead kin's name, right? LOL.

Dershowitz ... yeah he was sooooo credible in that OJ trial lol.

he's doing what defense lawyers do.  They'll all be on nancy grace this week delivering their best defenses.  And zimm's team will hire 2-3 of them, watch and see.

Sybrina Fulton is seeking to trademark the phrases "Justice for Trayvon" and "I Am Trayvon." The family attorney, Natalie Jackson, told RadarOnline.com exclusively: "I want to set the record straight, the trademarks were applied for so that no one can profit from or promote their own agendas using Trayvon Martin. Trayvon's parents will never seek to financially profit from these trademarks, period. I can't emphasize that point enough. They haven't even been able to mourn his death because they are seeking justice for his death.

"Their son is dead and it's insulting for people to think that they are thinking about profiting from this horrific tragedy. It's sad that there are those out there that are attempting to make money off of Trayvon's death and that his parents had to do this."

don't let the facts get in your way

BULLSHIT.  They took 2 phrases off the market out of how many thousands possible? 

This was done for financial gain period.

then where is their financial gain ?

[Skip8282]

For all we know, they're getting it right now.

Or they'll get it later.

But taking 2 measley phrases off the market isn't "protecting" shit.

I don't know that they've made a dime off of it

do you?

btw - do you at least agree that a "possible" motivation is to protect their dead childs name from exploitation from third parties

[Skip8282]

That was my point.  We don't know one way or the other.

No.

Why?

 taking 2 measley phrases off the market isn't "protecting" shit.

I cant see how trademarking those 2 phrases is protecting anything or anyone. Its more about reserving those phrases for THEIR use (the parents). It makes no sense the other way.

it prevents others from using them

I'm not saying the parents aren't trying to profit but at this point I see no evidence of that and I'm not going to make any assumptions without proof

Right, were all working with assumptions, but youd assume if they were trying to protect him they would have done a little more than just those 2 phrases.
That makes it seem (at least to me), that theyre reserving those 2 phrases for their own use, because its not like theyre stopping anyone from exploiting their son with any of the other million ways they could rearrange the words.

[Straw Man]

That was my point.  We don't know one way or the other.

since you agree we don't know one way or the other then how can you say "This was done for financial gain period"  and how can you arrive the conclusion that it wasn't done to protect their dead childs name from exploitation?

I'm only going by the evidence and statement from their attorney

i see no evidence they are trying to make a profit from the death of their child

If you have some then feel free to provide it

Hey dude you can see whatever you like, what do you expect the parents and lawyers to say? Yeah, were going to sell the shit out of our dead sons memory?
No.
There is no evidence either way yet. But to me, simply from their actions and the choices of phrases to trademark, it appears theyre trying to reserve those phrases for their own use. Otherwise they would be trademarking a lot more than just 2 phrases.
But again, you can see or not see whatever you like.
