I do believe this is way out of line.

Agreed ...

 

[Brujahpriest]

Yeah, that's definitely in poor taste.

 

[clansy]

Some people will stoop to any level to make a buck.

 

[retro]

Wow... poor taste is an understatement. That being said, there are a few members here that it wouldn't surprise me if they purchased some of those.

This was mentioned in one of the other threads,too bad the Zimmerbots have selective morality when it comes to what is offensive.

If you are a hooded black teen in my neighborhood, you deserve to be shot... the message is resonating with a lot of ASSHOLES.

This is no worse than the government selling 9/11 "commemorative" coins or people selling Trayvon Martin T-Shirts, anyone trying to make a profit off of a tragedy is scum.

This is a very valid point. An attempt to make a profit off of a tragedy is pretty sick minded.

I disagree. This product has a wickedly hateful message, unlike the others, which in my opinion makes it worse than an exploitative product.

... a good point as well. It is pretty bloody obvious what these targets mean.

No doubt it's of questionable moral fiber to profit off of a tragedy...I almost can't criticize the Martins too much for what they've done because I don't know how I'd act if my son was killed, but these targets are so sickening. Like I said before, on the other end of this, making a shirt that says "fatass cracker" with Zimmerman's face on it is deplorable too.

Absolutely and good point on Martin's parents! They may have not even considered the financial aspect of it and only thought that this would just help spread a message about getting justice for their son, in their minds.

Could be, and it's very possible they are looking for a financial gain as well. I think that's human nature. They've been thrust into this circus, their son is dead (which is not necessary cheap as far as I know, I doubt he had a life insurance policy but I may be ignorant to this)...sometimes people make screwy decisions in grief.

The thing I wish people would get back to is the human aspect of this.

True! The Human element has been lost in this whole thing!

In the end this whole thing is really tragic and that is all that can be said.
