obvious tag off buying skittles

I wonder what this guy's reaction would be if someone created, say, a flash game where the point was to curb stomp a head that looks like George Zimmerman's. Not that I'd ever advocate such childishness, of course.

At least he's honest?

Give the man credit, at least he didn't beat around the bush in the name of political correctness like we all do.

"I'm gonna do something disgusting for money, but I'm worried about my self-respect and dignity."

"If you make enough money, you wont *need* your self respect and dignity."

"I never thought about that."

"Dude, this is America. Get with the program."

What's the big deal? I mean, the dead-little-snowflake's "parents" already filed copyright for various items related to this situation (true)...so is it so surprising someone else would do something similar?

Profit off one murder, you're a criminal.

I"ve been trying to hunt one of those down. I've been suspicious that most of the one's I've come across were no good. I tried to call consumer protection, but they told me I really didn't need one, which I of course took as a direct order to stop following up on them.

Hmmmm.. Let's sell non-descript, black, life-size stuffed dolls, holding a bucket of Kentucky Fried and a can of Colt 45, and with a noose around it its neck. I'll bet the rope enthusiasts will get very excited. We'll make a fortune.

As a gun owner who considers Zimmerman to be innocent based on all the evidence I have seen (police report, photos of head wounds, etc... of course I"M sure more will come out in the trial, but based on what is official to date, I think he will be a free man) these targets are DISGUSTING and INCREDIBLY WRONG.

I don't know if this person broke any laws by trying to make money like this, but if they did, someone needs to throw the book at them. As a gun owner and 2A advocate, I can't STAND to see people act like this and tarnish the reputation of responsible law abiding gun owners.

The people that bought the targets are disgusting as well.


Regardless of the whether Trayvon was a thug or not, he's still a HUMAN BEING.. and while Zimmerman's actions may have been justified at the time, killing Martin in effigy is pretty sick and twisted.

I believe in the right to protect one's self from harm from another, even if that means killing the other person to stop the attack. No one I know WANTS things to come to that and takes steps including situational awareness (keeping your eyes extremely peeled), conceding defeat (runnin away like a sissy), and any other means of avoiding conflict in order to avoid having to use lethal force.


I personally would run away if someone wanted to fight. If they gave chase, there may be problem if I can't run fast enough or if I have my kids with me.
 
2012-05-11 09:13:39 AM
The seller would not disclose how many paper targets had been made, but said in an email, "The response is overwhelming. I sold out in 2 days."

Definitely not a Dumbass tag. Obvious tag must have been shot.

Followup:
So I gave up. I assumed everyone had probably run out. Then this jumped out of nowhere.
 
2012-05-11 09:15:45 AM
Do they come with a guy who will stand behind the target and punch you in the face?

"This is the highest level of disgust and the lowest level of civility," said Zimmerman's attorney Mark O'Mara.

Racistism. The highest form of profeteered?
 
2012-05-11 09:22:26 AM
Oh? So going to the gun range to shoot any of those other 'menacing paper targets" is different?

With these T.M. targets, you have to yell at it first, be told not to by the range instructor, then send it down the range and shoot it.

No difference, minus that whole "shooting children" / "shooting blacks" theme that goes along with it.

The media's main motivation is to make money selling faux outrage about someone making money on a tragedy.

Do they not remember their part in all of this? Where's the ironic tag?

Neither whores nor bank robbers are despicable.

Whores are derided by other women, because a whore won't discriminate as to who she'll have sex with. Since women are constantly attempting to mate with the highest status male available, being totally indiscriminate sexually puts a whore on the lowest rung of the female social hierarchy. This dynamic is made pretty clear by the fact that prostitution didn't become illegal until the Progressives made it part of their platform, along with women's suffrage. Before women voted, legislation concerning prostitution was mainly focused on containing it to certain designated areas. Men treated it as a zoning problem, not a crime.

Bank robbers aren't despicable because bank robbery is just one thief robbing from another.

If he wants to make more, he should expand the line to include George Zimmerman.

I nearly replied, "Hey, George suddenly looks innocent!"

freewill: If he wants to make more, he should expand the line to include George Zimmerman.

This marketing idea has the potential to really take off -- controversial socio-political shooting range targets.

Why limit it to Martin and Zimmerman? You could have targets for TV news hosts, the Kardashians, Snookie, etc.

/Not kidding, actually.
 
2012-05-11 09:46:37 AM
Well the media is getting closer as now they have a pic of Trayvon that is only 2 years old instead of 4.

Yes, the media seems much, much more disgusted and concerned over a picture with target of only an image of the jacket Trayvon was wearing and not even a huff over a target on Zimmerman's face with wanted dead or alive poster.
