In Complete Poor Taste, Exploitation of Trayvon Martin & George Zimmerman … Trayvon Martin Shooting Targets Sold Online for Profit Complete with Hoodie & Skittles

WTF, WHAT IS WRONG WITH SOME PEOPLE!!!

Are you serious, talk about in poor taste. An unknown idiot is trying to profit off the death of Trayvon Martin who was shot by neighborhood watch individual George Zimmerman. The so-called entrepreneur, we will use the term parasite, is selling Trayvon Martin paper shooting target featuring a black hoodies with crosshairs stamped across the chest, and images of Skittles and a can of iced tea printed near the pocket. The prints were sold in packs of 10 for $8. According to the unknown individual, “My main motivation was to make money off the controversy”.  Can you say sick? And for all of those who bought them, what is friggin wrong with you?

An unidentified entrepreneur admits he is trying to profit off Trayvon Martin’s death by selling gun range targets featuring the teen who’s death has sparked a nationwide controversy.

Although Martin’s face does not appear on the paper targets, they feature a hoodie with crosshairs aimed at the chest.  A bag of Skittles is tucked in the pocket and a hand is holding a can resembling iced tea.

Martin purchased both items minutes before he was shot and killed by George Zimmerman in February, according to police.

Thankfully, the online ad has been removed. It matters little if one thinks that George Zimmerman is guilty or not in the murder charges, if one thinks that Trayvon Martin is a thug, or if one thinks that the MSM, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson et all fanned the flames of racism unjustly in this case. For some one to be so warped and twisted to try and make money off the shooting death of anything is as wrong as it gets. That fact that the individual who wanted to profit off the tragedy of another wanted to remain anonymous tells us all we need to know about their lack of a spine and accountability.

According to an advertisement for the targets that had been posted on a popular firearms auction website, the sellers stated they “support Zimmerman and believe he is innocent and that he shot a thug.”

That online ad has since been removed.

“This is the highest level of disgust and the lowest level of civility,” said Zimmerman’s attorney Mark O’Mara.

AGREED! There is no place for this kind of ignorance or hate.
