![[Linked Image from i40.tinypic.com]](http://i40.tinypic.com/a8rhx.jpg) The Smoking Gun March 26, 2012 The mother of Trayvon Martin has filed two applications to secure trademarks containing her late son’s name, records show. BTW, I'm consistent. I also ridiculed Sarah and Bristol Palin for trademarking their names.

Better that she trademark Trayvon's name, than a non-relative opportunist out to make a quick buck.

Don't you just love free market capitalism? A culture where anything and everything is potentially a market? Sure would hate to see any ethical, moral, or practical regulation screw up a good thing - take away what made this country great, you know?
You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.

I look for the family to further capitalize on this young man's death by suing several of the entities involved in the case.

One of the first things I thought of in this regard was the home owners association. That's gonna be where the deep pockets are, but whether you can prove a nexus is another story. I am not certain how closely tied HOA's are to neighborhood watch organizations in general, and certainly I don't know in this case.
As to the copyright, I assume it was on advice of counsel.

Probably the "Billy Flynn's" came out of the woodwork on this one.

I'd bet they had a phone call or twenty from attorneys.

I am not certain how closely tied HOA's are to neighborhood watch organizations in general, and certainly I don't know in this case. I can answer this one. Being the current President of an HOA. The Board and the NW are two different entities. They can not be intertwined. NW is a volunteer entity and non-elected. The Board of Directors of the HOA can not have anything do with, nor give any direction to, the NW.

Moreover, if the shooting is deemed justified under the Stand Your Ground law, it prohibits civil actions based upon the shooting.
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

I heard early on that this particular HOA did NOT actually approve any kind of active Neighborhood Watch program so if Zimmerman claims he was "captain of the Neighborhood Watch program" then he was selected or elected by a body electorate of ONE....HIMSELF.
So any attempt to link him, NW or some variation TO that HOA would be fruitless anyway, because his actions were not in their name but in his name only. Far as they're concerned he acted alone.
WRT trademarking the kid's name I hardly think the parents seek financial gain, it's obviously a move to prevent OTHERS (particularly those with malicious intent) from doing so and I don't blame them one bit.
