WSVN — The mother of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin is speaking out after the gun used to kill her son is sold. The Nightteam’s Rosh Lowe has the exclusive interview in the Lowedown. The man who shot Sybrina Fulton’s teenaged son just sold the gun he used for more than $120,000, but Martin’s mother said nothing that happens now can be worse than her son’s death. Sybrina Fulton: “I have been through some pain. I lost my 17-year-old son who was unarmed. So what more can you do? What more can you do to irritate that same heart, to aggravate that same heart?” Trayvon Martin’s mother, Sybrina Fulton was referring to the day her life was shattered when her son was killed by George Zimmerman. Sybrina Fulton: “People look at me and they’re wondering, ‘How am I smiling? You can’t fake a smile. How am I smiling?’ It’s not that I’m happy. It’s the peace that I have inside of me.” Zimmerman was acquitted in the 2012 shooting death of Trayvon Martin.

Sybrina refuses to focus on the auction of the gun or the words of George ZimmermanThey didn’t raise their son right. He attacked a complete stranger and attempted to kill him. Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin did everything they could do to capitalize on her son’s death.’ What’s your reaction to that?” Sybrina Fulton: “Well, just to be precise with you Rosh, a lot of times, it doesn’t require my attention. I think people can pretty much see through what’s going on. You know a mother’s heart. I just don’t feel like I’m ever going to be anybody’s puppet.” Fulton now focuses her attention on the Trayvon Martin Foundation and the Circle of Mothers, a group Sybrina runs for women who have lost loved ones to gun violence. Rosh Lowe: “Sybrina Fulton is determined to uplift other people. She comes here to the Trayvon Martin Foundation, which she runs with one focus, and that is positivity and inspiration.” Sybrina Fulton: “That love cancels out all the evil, all the wrong I think in my mind.

I may try to concentrate on the bad things, but that’s not what’s important. What’s important is what is in my heart and helping other people.” It’s a mission she is dedicating her life to despite the pain of losing her son and having to deal with all the headlines involving George Zimmerman.bubble guppies hoodies Sybrina Fulton: “I will never give up. on the byas hoodie for saleI will never allow someone to push my buttons and decide what I should say and how I should say it. eeyore hoodie ukI’m never going to give up.”cheap personalised leavers hoodies She takes her strength from faith.oso hoodie xxl

This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed. on April 06, 2012 at 10:11 AM, updated Lately, a hoodie isn't just a hoodie. The hooded, sometimes zipped-up sweatshirt might mean comfort to many, but in recent weeks it's become the symbol of a movement. Lawmakers have worn hoodies to government proceedings.

There's been Million Hoodie Marches. Because for Trayvon Martin, a rainy Sunday walk in a hoodie became the last night of his life. When reporting what he claimed to be suspicious activity, George Zimmerman, Martin's shooter, described a "dark hoodie" to a 911 operator. For now, no one knows if 17-year-old Martin's clothing contributed to Zimmerman's actions. The case has sparked talk of racism, Florida law and pure outrage. Others have asked the question: Is "walking with a hoodie" a peril? John Wetmore is producer of "Perils for Pedestrians," a national monthly public access TV series that addresses issues such as obstacles in sidewalks, airing on stations in Essex, Middlesex and Mercer counties. "How do you deal with public attitudes that automatically think someone is suspicious?" he asks. Wetmore, 55, recalls wearing a hoodie to commemorate his graduate studies at Yale University. He compares the notion of walking while hooded to women who contend with catcalls.

Those wearing one might not be dressing to attract attention, but they get it anyway. "Over the last 25 years, the hoodie has been associated with street crime," says Richard Moran, professor of criminology and sociology at Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Mass. In 2005, a mall in Kent, England, actually banned hoodies, a move that inspired a backlash in young hoodie-wearers and even a hoodie-centric song or two. "Problem is, it is a fashion," says Moran. "Even I wear a hoodie when jogging, to keep my head warm." So do supermodels, infants, hipsters and grandmothers ... and not because they're jogging. Hoodies are as commonplace a fashion as T-shirts or jeans. Yet why, for some — like, say, Martin's shooter — would they continue to evoke the idea of danger or wrongdoing? Fox News host Geraldo Rivera blamed Martin's hoodie for making Zimmerman suspicious. Days later, Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Ill.) stood on the floor of Congress wearing a gray hoodie, hood up, to call for Zimmerman's arrest.

Yet on most other occasions, hoodies have been worn to show allegiance to a team, a school, or just because they're all-weather, something casual and practical. "They're just a very versatile and comfortable article of clothing so they've become a mainstay," says John Hochman, a Monmouth Beach-based member of the Licensing Industry Merchandisers' Association who has worked with companies to sell T-shirts and hoodies. While cowls covered the heads of European monks centuries before, Hochman, 40, sees the modern hoodie's origin in the Mexican poncho, popular among California surfers in the mid 1970s. Around the same time, athletes wore hoodies (boxers donned hooded robes). Though the term for a jacket's "hood" is not believed to have any origins in the word "hoodlum," negative associations came into play with shoplifters and British soccer hooligans, he says. They used hoods to conceal their faces from security cameras. New Jersey street artists paint graffiti mural to help raise awareness for Trayvon Martin

In explaining the negative connotation of hoodies, Hochman points to the notion of someone being "shrouded." Take the infamous police sketch of Unabomber Ted Kaczynski or New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, who often wears the hood of his sweatshirt up while standing on the sidelines, he says. "It's an easy way to make somebody look nefarious." After seeing similar photos on friends' Facebook pages, Eunique Jones Gibson started the I Am Trayvon Martin Photo Awareness Campaign. "I wanted to get ahead of it, put some order on it," says Jones Gibson, 28, an online advertising manager and part-time photographer based outside Washington, D.C., in Lanham, Md. She held a photoshoot and began snapping pictures of people in the same slate-gray hoodies, posting their name and occupation — teacher, audit manager — in the empty space next to their solemn, hooded faces. Their photos can be seen on a Facebook page where Jones Gibson encourages other photographers to get in on the act.
