Seller Offers Gun Range Targets Meant to Resemble Trayvon Martin



Quote:
A Florida entrepreneur said he had sold out of gun range targets depicting a faceless, hood-clad figure holding an iced tea and a bag of Skittles meant to look like Trayvon Martin.

"The response is overwhelming," the seller told Orlando's WKMG news team over e-mail. "I sold out in two days." The station did not identify the seller, and said it found the ad on a popular firearms auctioning website.

Martin, an unarmed 17-year-old, was shot and killed by a neighborhood watch volunteer as he returned to his father's girlfriend's house after a trip to the convenience store. Martin was unarmed, but was carrying a bag of Skittles, a can of iced tea, and his wallet. The shooting, and the local police's handling of it, have become major news stories and sparked national conversations around racial profiling and gun laws.

According to the station, the seller said that that the "main motivation was to make money off the controversy." The seller said that he was a supporter of Zimmerman who thinks "he is innocent and that he shot a thug."

Well, if that doesn't bring poor taste to a new low nothing does.

The "seller" should be dragged out back and flogged with braided barbed wire.

The video to this one is worth a watch.

Trayvon Martin gun range targets sold online | news - Home

They can't identify the guy who's selling what looks like printout sheets.

If it actually is some sort of hater I agree with Zimmerman's attorney. He needs to be charged with something. Wouldn't that be a hate crime?

On the other hand there's another possibility. What if it's say a Black Panther, or an Al Sharpton supporter trying to respark the conflict. Would that be a hate crime?

I'd really like to know who it is.

Talk about poor taste. We have enough racial tension in this country without idiots like this egging it on.

I think people are giving some person too much attention. Move along, people.
