Stop the sale of Trayvon shooting targets

[White Eagle]

The Hiller Armament Company of Virginia has been selling "Trayvon Targets" for shooting practice, complete with a black hoodie, Skittles, and an ice tea. So, here is a petition to the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company and Mars Inc. to make them stop selling the targets with Skittles brand clearly seen on the target.

Stop the sale of Trayvon shooting targets

The silhouette on the paper target is faceless. But the hoodie, the Skittles and the iced tea leave nothing to the imagination. This is meant to be Travyon Martin, the unarmed 17-year-old shot to death in February in Sanford, Florida.

I thought they had stopped already?

(Although it's important to note that they initially sold out.)

Good! I hadn't heard that. Change.org was running a petition to:


Petition: Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli: Take action against Hiller Armament Company for "Trayvon Targets" | Change.org

Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli: Take action against Hiller Armament Company for "Trayvon Targets"

There wasn't much info in the link, I guess to take legal action. We'll see.

There was a "question" among the Zimmerman apologists right after the shooting as to why Trayvon's mother trademarked his name. They assumed it was because she hoped to profit from it but, more likely, it was to stop pieces of shit like these Hiller people from blatantly desecrating (by name) his memory for a dollar.

I forgot to add the picture. Disgusting!

 

[LuvFindsAndyHardy]

What's more disgusting is the thought of people buying this because they think it's funny.

This is disgusting! I am trying to contact the Hiller Armament Company but it appears their site is offline.

LOL - honest truth, I misread the OP's first line as 'The Hitler Armament Company'

And I thought to myself, 'Well, it should be very easy to prosecute such a blatantly obvious right-wing group.'

I'd like to get one.

And a sniper rifle.



I could set it up at the local gravel pit that serves as a shooting range, then hide with the sniper rifle and shoot every bastard who shoots at it.
Better would be to rig it to shoot back.

Damn, you're pissed. I don't blame you.
