She is a mother who lost a child.
And that has caused her to wholesale abandon rationality, unfortunately.

You can't claim to know what this mothers motives are. Have a little compassion for G*ds sake
I was going write something PC but screw it....
That woman is full of ****. Period
Compassion?
This woman is fanning the flames of racial unrest. She can grieve in her house without hurting other people.
As for compassion, I reserve it for a man that had to take alife that night and will have to live with that for the rest of his life.
This mother knew she had an out of control kid and this is the result
Where is your compassion for a man and his family that never should have been out through this ordeal???????

You are blind.
You can have compassion for both families.
Ms. Fulton is still in the deep phase of grief, and it's not necessarily the most rational of times for any mother. Add to that a trial that had the world's attention, and anybody would be overwhelmed. I don't want to see Trayvon Martin's mother exploited the way Cindy Sheehan was by Code Pink and etc. I feel sorry for her because despite all these distractions, she has to go through the grief eventually.
And I feel terribly sorry for the Zimmerman family. Why have George Zimmerman's parents received death threats? Because knuckleheads who think their son is a killer are "reserving their compassion" for Trayvon Martin's mother and father?
It has been almost a year and a half from the date of her sons death.
I doubt she is still in the deep phase of grief. She is upset about the verdict because she ignores the facts.
Like I said if she was at home grieving her son, that would be one thing, but to be speaking publically and fanning the flames of racial unrest, that is where she should not be.
Please don't now call her stupid and think she doesn't know what she is doing or is being used by anybody. It is her choice to speak at rallies and she has to be responsable for the results.
NO she can't.
She is speaking at rallies to fan the flames. You think that is aceptable.
The evidence was presneted and if there was any evidence available to prove Zimmerman did anything werong, it would have been presented.
Calling out the jurors is way out of line.
That doesn't negate her view at all. I really don't care what she says and does. Because she's his mother - she can do and say whatever the **** she wants.
She earned that right when she birthed him.
Trial or no - verdict or no - that doesn't alter anything for HER.
You don't have to listen - no one *has* to listen.
She's a mother for Christ's sake cut her some slack.
With all the distractions of the last year, I don't know whether Ms. Fulton has even fully begun to grieve. I do know, though, that you have never been a mother and have not yourself lost a child. Sometimes the pain is so terrible that a "cause" is a diversion, at least for awhile. And there is also a need to make that child's life "meaningful." Think of all the laws that have been passed that are named for a child--e.g. "Amber's Law"--and the foundations and chapters of foundations that were inspired by the loss of a child.
This is not meant to be harsh or cruel. In the year and half, the parents of TM with a lawyer were able to settle out of court for an amount over 1 million dollars from the HOA insurance company. To say the mom is still grieving and that should excuse her comment about the jury makes no sense. The parents got past enough to file the law suit before the criminal trial.
I don't see what that has to do with grieving for the loss of your child. No amount of money can replace him I'm sure.
I can only imagine her loss. Her comment was out of line. The State had no case. She does not want to admit that TM actions along with GZ escalated the event to the tragic end.
I agree no money will replace a child. However, I find it interesting the HOA civil suit went forward before the criminal case.
Ever wonder why?
Yeah, well she is a grieving mom. As far as she's concerned, she is in HELL right now.
Probably because the HOA wanted to avoid an expensive lawsuit, so they settled out of court.
I understand she is grieving. I understand some never get over the loss. Yet after over a year, imo its time to move on.
and in my sarcastic mood, if she is so grieving, why the talk shows and news interviews? Most grieving people I have known have wanted to left alone. imo, there is another agenda the parents are weaving.
No, Martin's mom's grief does not excuse what she said about the jury. At all. Her premise is that if the jury had seen her son as human, the jury would have realized that Zimmerman made a mistake and would have convicted him.
Did Ms. Fulton talk to the jurors after the verdict? Any of them? All of them? And because I really don't know the answer and didn't keep up with the trial the way some did, has she ever acknowledged that her son might have also made a mistake?

Did you see her in court? No expression at all, now she is a grieving mom who can say whatever whe wants.
It doesn't make sense. When she was supposedly wiping tears away, there were no tears there, she knew the cameras were on her.
People, please stop making excuses for people that say and do stupid things.

He wasnt. He was on his way to a store. Get it straight or dont post.
Show me proof of anything he did that was illegal. He said he was on his way to the store, nothing in testimony says different.Show me proof he was on his way to a store.
