Sleazebag sells targets so you too can shoot Trayvon Martin

5/11/2012

It's always unsettling when someone attempts to turn a tragedy into a profit-making opportunity, but this particular business venture is inexcusably awful: One unnamed Florida entrepreneur has been selling Trayvon Martin gun range targets. The paper targets do not show the slain teen's face, but are illustrated by a hoodie-wearing silhouette with a package of Skittles in the pocket and a can of ice tea in its hand. "My main motivation was to make money off the controversy," the seller said, an incentive that has been condemned by George Zimmerman's attorney. "This is the highest level of disgust and the lowest level of civility," Mark O'Mara said. "It's hate-mongering."
