"An online vendor who said he was capitalizing on controversy around the shooting death of Trayvon Martin told WKMG-TV in Orlanda that he rapidly "sold out" gun-range targets made to resemble the teen."
"The targets did not picture 17-year-old Martin’s face, but instead portrayed a hoodie sweatshirt, a style that has become iconic since his death, with crosshairs drawn over the chest. The figure is shown holding a packet of Skittles candy and a beverage can, the video report showed."
...this country is headed for disaster with people like this. A child lost his life. And for nothing! And some idiot tries to make a profit off of it???
I am not sure if I find this offensive or not. I would think that those who support capitalism would be OK with this creative thinking.
U.S. News - Report: Online vendor sold Trayvon Martin gun-range targets
Why is the country headed for disaster because of this?
Please explain
It celebrates the unnecessary death of a young man. Good thing they're not selling Zimmerman targets. I could imagine the outcry from the Cons.
In what way does it celebrate, the death (a faceless paper target) of someone?

Have you paid attention to current events in the past 2 months?

Its pretty douchey. Seems a lot of douchey stuff has emerged from this incident. Targets, bounty on someone's head, trademarking of the kids name.
Douchey, offensive, etc....but is it illegal?
Hell, who knows. I thought walking down a street was legal but I guess many here are having problem with that now.
I am probably doing something illegal now just typing this.
And your point being what?
The question is...are these targets illegal?
Getting emotional over a faceless paper target?
Get serious
Some days im just not proud to be an American or called an American and after reading this, this is one of those days.
If it wasn't for the skittles it would look like the silhouette of a thug looking for trouble, im just sayin.
no, it would look like a guy wearing a hooded sweatshirt.....with no face.
That would be me. I wear hoodies, drink ice and once in while, I do eat skittles
