Most WTF News of the Day
In the wake of the horribly tragic Trayvon Martin story, it was a sad, but true assumption that someone would try to make a quick buck off of it. While I would have expected just about anything, the direction that one entrepreneur/evil piece of sh*t decided to go was particularly descpicable.
Via ClickOrlando:
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.
In an email exchange with reporter Mike DeForest, the seller wrote, “My main motivation was to make money off the controversy.”
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.”
Whether or not the unidentified seller, as he says, “supports Zimmerman and believes he is innocent and that he shot a thug,” this type of opportunistic and vile disrespect for human life is the kind of activity that gets people maimed. Luckily, the seller is too big of a motherf***ing pu**y to share his name smart enough to maintain anonymity, because we have a feeling some citizens would rather use his face for target practice.
Ugh. It’s Friday morning. Let’s put this all behind us and get this day started, shall we?
