It's all about the money now, especially since the facts are showing Zimmerman is likely innocent of any crime.

On to lawsuits and the sympathy money

I don't know her personal life, but as a mother who has buried children, I can't even imagine doing this. However, as JTM stated, they are already exploiting the situation. She may have had an attorney tell her that it would be best if she did this instead of someone like Sharpton or his ilk. Does she have other children? The reason I ask if it is marketed and she doesn't get it trademarked, someone else could be getting money that could help her raise her kids.

I won't say anything negative about a mother who recently lost a son. Grief is a strange process.

I can see it to prevent people from exploiting it. We'll just have to wait and see if that's why she did it or if she's going to be the one doing the exploiting.

prevent his client from being exploited, as hers was???
Watcher is right.....
Time will tell whether this was done to prevent her son's memory from being exploited
by the unscrupulous, or whether her attorney eventually advises her to 'strike while the iron is still hot'......
In which case, I have no further comment on who's exploiting who.....

Fame is a fleeting thing and once you're in the ground, the public generally moves on to the next
"attraction" that catches their mind or captures their spirit.

The whole thing is being turned into a circus thanks to Obama and company.
They once again tried to exploit someone else's tragedy for their own gain and once again it's all clustered up.

Though, once again, the President was foolish to speak on something when not all the facts were known, I am not going to lay this one at his feet.

As the most visible black leader he could put a MAJOR damper on all of this in a couple of days, if not with one news conference. If he came out and told the black community the facts as they are known; the guy was NOT shot in the back, the shooter was NOT white, the police DID investigate the shooting, etc. and they should let the local investigators do their job under the watchful eye of state and federal agents this would die down.

His 'my son would have looked like. . .' statement tossed gasoline on the flames.

Disney tried to trademark the name of the seal team that took out Osama. A mother trademarking her late son's name has a LOT more class than that...

BO was responding with what he knew at the time, which was only what the biased MSM put out there...the out dated pics of a cherubic face, a boy carrying iced tea and skittles, a boy with no history of bad behavior, etc, who was shot by an overzealous white man with a history of violence. What did you expect him to say?

Yes, he was wrong to speak without all the facts -- the facts are still not fully out there about this tragedy -- but the MSM deliberately lied or deliberately failed to fully investigate this story. They wanted another Emmett Till. Even evoked Till's name in headlines.

My heart goes out to the Mother. She not only has lost her son, but she's having to relive it on a daily basis with all the publicity.

Obama does not want it to die down. He wants whites to pay. Why would Obama appoint a racist like eric holder to the atty general job? Why does Obama have ignorant comments on perceived black victim crimes, and NEVER mentions a white victim crime.....perceived or otherwise.

The black panthers now have a dead or alive bounty out on Zimmerman. Has anyone heard Obama comment on this atrocity? Of course not.

We just thought that Carter was the worst president ever.

I'd expect him to say something like "In the United States our legal system says a person is innocence until proven guilty and I would like to let our system work before I make a statement." Or "As of now I do not know all the facts and only a fool makes a statement before he knows all the facts."

And you think the office of the President couldn't find out the known facts in a matter of an hour or so?

I'm not sure he has any legal authority to be entitled to know the details of a STATE criminal investigation.

He should just mind HIS business
