Subscribe to RSSAn online vendor who said he was capitalizing on controversy around the shooting death of Trayvon Martin told WKMG-TV in Orlanda that he rapidly "sold out" gun-range targets made to resemble the teen.
The targets did not picture 17-year-old Martin’s face, but instead portrayed a hoodie sweatshirt, a style that has become iconic since his death, with crosshairs drawn over the chest. The figure is shown holding a packet of Skittles candy and a beverage can, the video report showed.
Martin, who was unarmed, was walking to his father's house carrying Skittles and a can of ice tea after going to a store when he was shot to death by neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman during a scuffle.
Prosecutors waited weeks before charging Zimmerman, who argues that the shooting was self-defense, with second-degree murder.
The Feb. 26 killing in Sanford, Fla. has sparked a furious debate about race, justice and guns.
Mark O’Mara, the attorney representing Zimmerman, told WKMG that the product advertisement, which has since been removed, represented "the highest level of disgust and the lowest level of civility."
In the ad, the seller professed to support Zimmerman and "to believe he is innocent and that he shot a thug," the WKMG report said.
When contacted by a TV reporter, the seller who — would not disclose his identity — wrote in an email that the main motivation for selling the targets was "to make money off the controversy." The ad, described as being on a popular firearms auction website, later disappeared from the Internet.

Meantime, Martin’s mother, Sybrina Fulton released a video on YouTube calling for prevention of "senseless gun violence" and reevaluation of "stand-your-ground" laws like the one in Florida that allows the use of deadly force in response to perceived threat of death or serious injury, the Orlando Sentinel reported Friday.
"This will be my first Mother’s Day without my son Trayvon," Fulton says in the video. "On Sunday I’m going to say a prayer for other mothers across America who share this unbearable pain."

Last time I checked - this was still an almost free country.
Yes, my friend, you are still free to be a fool, a jackass, a bigot, and a paranoid idiot.
I hope they used the pic when he was 12 years old.You know the one the media brainwashed everyone with.
Because you can do something does not mean you should.
Who ever is selling these has NO class!
I would say the term "Malignant Parasite" fits this seller.....people like them are the contributing factor to the moral decline of this country. AND shame on the media for printing their story, who also contributes to the moral decline of this county. There are things that are not worth the paper / ink used to print them.
hate mongering @!$%#s...wtf is wrong with people?
Is it still ok to HATE Zimmerman?
this country gets scarier every day.
Sue him. Stating that the kid was a thug is called defamation. Since it was printed in his adverts, he's also guilty of libel (not to mention imbecility).
Yes, it's a pathetic way to make a buck: even a little more pathetic than what Trayvon's family has done.
As for the typical dip-sh*t American mentality of "sue him"... good luck with that.
There should be some geeks out there capable of identifying this a__hole nut and publishing...........
and maybe the customers too.
Mark my words... The Second Civil War starts within 15 years.
Yes I guess you can say that it is still a free country to where you can be a total dumba#$ :)
Really bad taste,but your free to be a moron if you want to be. How about we dont hate ANYONE yet and let the justice system take its course. Well actually,there are PLENTY of people that deserve to be hated for various things we KNOW they have done so we can hate them while we are waiting to see if we should hate Zimmerman. For instance,theres that cop that was out on the town,looking to get laid,struck out and when he was walking home the next day,decided to grab some poor girl and rape her. He was just convicted,its a done deal and his only real defense was that he claims he tried to rape her,but couldnt get it up. He deserves to be hated.
Idiots will try to make a buck off anything. Low or no class isn't as crime.
Are they selling Zimmerman targets too? If they are they're just crass, if they aren't then they're heartless bastards that need to be shut down.
AKRandy
True but made some cash
AlexTheBlade
Stated he "believes" an opinion. No worse than martin supporters do here daily.
Plotinus
so you are in favor of spreading violence?
This is definitely a free Country, We let the Commie Libs live here and allow them to speak freely?
US,
YOU don't let anyone live here, nor do you allow them to speak. This is just as much my country as yours. Any statement to the contrary shows that you are the one that doesn't belong here.
Agree, this is about capitalism... This is about capitalism without restraints. Multiply this a Million folds, and you'll get Goldman Sachs. So what are you afraid about? A image of someone else's fear? A duche making a quick buck? or an unrestraint capitalist?
Unfortunately, this is not surprising -- just the typical NRA mentality
How hideous. They've sunk to a whole new level with this one.
Jack,
This has nothing to do with the NRA
This has got nothing to do with the NRA, this is a single profiteer looking to make a cash in on a controversial product.
jack...I am not a fan of the NRA, but they have noting to do w/this idiot...
Terry - Just what does the NRA have to do with what this malignant parasite chose to do? In opposition to your train of thought, or lack thereof, NRA is not responsible for what ignorant people say or do. Everyone person is responsible for what they say, and how they behave. There has to come a point when people own up to their own mistakes, and stop blaming others. That is the grown up way.
Where in this article is the NRA mentioned? All people who shoot don't belong to the NRA.
I wouldn't be surprised one bit if info comes out later about the seller confirming his membership to the NRA. I would be totally surprised if he's not a member.
Out of curiosity. Do any of you badmouthing the NRA know anything about it? I doubt it. Just like the Pavlovian responces bashing the Tea Party, Reps, the Koch brothers, accusations of racism, etc.... Get some new talking point cards---please!
I doubt that ANY of the killings occurring in the "hood", are done by NRA members. Perhaps dyed-in-the-wool Dems?
Out of curiosity... If I was a betting man I would have to say you're probably a conservative, white male to boot. Funny, I think you also need to get some new talking points.
He said it's the NRA's MENTALITY, and he's right. Their primary tactic is to attack anyone who opposes them, even if it's by accident or indeed even if they are the victim. That's why they love to set up gun rallies in towns that have recently suffered school shootings.
spike: "do any of you badmouthing the NRA know anything about it?"
You mean the NRA that dreamt up the 'stand your ground laws' that then utilized Alec in order to get them pushed through in order to obsolve gun owners of any and all responsiblility - THAT NRA?
I don't need some organization that sees demons in every bloody shadow telling me who I should vote for and how I should think. Their S.C.A.R.E tactics about "LOSING OUR GUN RIGHTS!!!" is the same scatter-brained nonsense they've claimed for decades - yet more liberals own guns now than ever before - so it ISN'T going to happen.
I haven't been a member for over five years: the more they lost their way with their 'heroic' nonsense, the less I liked them - 'AIN'T GOIN BACK', as they say.
Yeah toasty, where does the NRA get off, they have a defined goal (keeping gun ownership legal), which was a constitutional right put in by are forefathers. On the other side you have occupy wall street crowds which have the following goals..... oh yea none of them have clear goals but most want unprecedented socialist ideals, loan forgiveness, removing the top 1% completely.
I just ordered 100, I hope they last the weekend.
Alex the Blade,
Haven't seen a whetstone in a while, correct? I doubt that you were ever in the NRA. But, that is the beauty of the internet---complete deniability.
I personally am not a fan of what the NRA has become,but they have nothing to do with this. Now,perhaps this guy is a member. It would not suprise me,as someone who decides to cash in on making offensive targets,is probably into guns,and therefore is more likely to be in the NRA,however,most people in the NRA would probably prefer he not do this as it just makes gun owners look like nut jobs.
My problem with the NRA has nothing to do with their support of gun ownership. Im all for that. It has to do with them becoming something other than a "one issue" organization. I dont care if your a liberal senator or a conservative congressman. If your votes show you support gun ownership,the NRA should endorse you. It should not matter if you support abortion,or oppose birth control for women. The NRA seems to be moving away from their roots.
A liberal senator should have a reason not to vote for gun legislation. For him to support gun ownership,hes going to alienate some of his constituents. If he knows the NRA will never support him no matter how good his record on gun rights are,he will vote for gun grabbing bills every single time. Why WOULDNT he. He has nothing to gain (they will never support him) and everything to lose (we will lose some votes for it) If he votes to take our guns,then he loses nothing (NRA endorses his opponent no matter what) and he GAINS votes from people who support gun control.
In fact,thats just whats been happening. The NRA has been supporting conservative candidates that have WORSE voting records on gun ownership rights than their liberal opponents. Thats not how it should be. NRA endorsement is supposed to be the ONE SINGLE thing I can look for to see which candidate in a race is the best choice for gun ownership rights. If care about who is against abortions,Ill look to see who gets endorsments from some conservative right to life organization.
"...You mean the NRA that dreamt up the 'stand your ground laws' that then utilized Alec in order to get them pushed through in order to obsolve gun owners of any and all responsiblility - THAT NRA?..."
I wasn't aware that organizations passed laws.
They wrote those laws and advocated to have them passed,and by the way, apparently its he who has the most money wins with republicans these days, so you know dang good and well that organizations gets laws passed. Quit pretending you don't know.
This is not about NRA. This is about capitalism... This is about capitalism without restraints. Multiply this a Million folds, and you'll get Goldman Sachs.
bbritt - Not all who murder shoot.
And all you pin-heads that blame the NRA as if they had anything to do with someone selling targets of all things. How stupidly low do you think that makes you look? (key word being think). Get a clue! What's next, blaming the spoon for making your a** fat? MAN! you liberal MSNBC nut jobs need to get out of the house more! You nitwits won't be happy until you pi** all of your rights and liberties away. Sad!
thturd (2.18), are you suggesting that Goldman Sachs sold T-shirts or are you suggesting that if this guy sells a million of these he will need a government bail-out? Or did he short sell his shirts and is about to get a margin call? What types of “restraints” would you like to put on T-shirt sales to prevent this type of travesty?
Apparently, Chris, the NRA gets off on hurting victims.
What a disdgusting low-life piece of trash. People thought his family was wrong to trademark his name. Of course the coward will not reveal his identity. I hope his family can sue.
This is America where anyone can make a buck selling anything they can sell. I hope he has the sense NOT TO GIVE HIS NAME. He'll be the next one shot to death.
I believe this is in poor taste. Maybe I'm just being a prude.
I also did not like when they started selling Trayvon Bobble Heads.
What an awful thing to do...all the money he made should be court ordered over to the mother..
If someone had killed this vendor's child, I wonder how he/she would feel, had another person exploited it, thereby deepening the grief and the wound in his/her heart.
This is morally reprehensible. It's sad that humanity has come to the point where they can't even feel shame or guilt about doing something so appalling as this online merchant has done.
And shame upon the buyers too. They're all awful and I hope they one day realize their wrongs and find a moral compass, and gain the ability to feel empathy.
Those targets should be stapled to the chest and back of this jackass and his customers.
Anything to make a buck. It makes me sick. They will let this one slide; however, remember all the outrage over the Illegal Alien halloween costume? If this guy was selling targets with the Presidential seal on it, he'd be in jail. I remember the guy who had a shirt that said "F U George Bush" and he was arrested. I know it's off on a tangent, but it is symbolic just like the hoodie target.
Agreed. These freaks are the first to play victim if they perceive THEIR rights threatened, but they're perfectly happy to mock a murder and twist the knife in the guts of the grieving family How repulsive.
How tacky can you get. Lowlife scum.
"How tacky can you get. Lowlife scum."
Perhaps as tacky as Trayvon's family, copy-writing his name for profit? Just asking.
It was more than to just make a buck, it was to make a statement.
What kind of statement?
That the kind of freak that would make a target that resembles a murdered teenager would at least have to stop at putting Trayvon's name across it. THAT kind of statement.
He's just another money hungry greedy typical bottom feeding American.
"Zim" stalked him, ignored police when told not to follow, and confronted him before shooting him. That's not self-defense. Trayvon had every right to be walking in the neighborhood and was unarmed. That's murder.
"Zim" stalked him, ignored police when told not to follow, and confronted him before shooting him..."
Not so. When told not to follow, he said OK. The editing of the call in several instances is just one of the media hypes about the event. Read a transcipt of the call:
"...911 dispatcher:
Are you following him? [2:24]
Zimmerman:
Yeah. [2:25]
911 dispatcher:
OK.
We don’t need you to do that. [2:26]
Zimmerman:
OK. [2:28]..."
And? Does it necessarily mean he actually followed?
Search Zimmerman 911 transcript. He states he is returning to his vehicle. The WORST part of this entire event is the truncated reporting. A LITTLE complete reporting would have been revealing. Correct? How despicable--the press jumps on Zimmerman's name, and immediately uses the "racist" theme--when they find out that he is not white, they invent the descriptor, "white-Hispanic". When it is discovered that Zimmerman has black blood, what is he to be called? White-black-Hispanic? Zimmerman has been vetted more than the white-black president.
Pathetic!
So I guess it is impossible for MSNBC to abstain from reporting every asinine story that is connected somehow to the Trayvon Martin case. Is it really that hard to wait a whole year for your next Trial of the Century?
As it is just as much impossible for people to abstain from making asinine comments. It boggles the mind, this 'shoot the messenger' mentality.
I think MSNBC is in the black vs. white war gear business on the side. It seems like they publish the most obnoxious articles and leave out the ones that would have vindicated George Zimmerman. I guess news media doesn't have to report the truth, they just have to report.
Vegains, MSNBC does not just report they also sell T-shirts…
http://www.nbcuniversalstore.com/t-shirts/index.php?v=msnbc_t-shirts
Vindicated? LOL
An entrepreneur capitalized on the story just like MSN used a blurb about him to further it's agenda and sell advertising. No @!$%#ing difference.
Had enough, would it be ok to have t-shirt with MSNBC as a target?
Dasvet, here ya go...
http://www.nbcuniversalstore.com/t-shirts/index.php?v=msnbc_t-shirts
McIdiots. That is all.
Good people are in the minority. I feel this more and more everyday.
There is definitely a shortage of good people on the internet. The real world isn't in nearly as bad of shape.
No Alias and kicking...no way..I refuse to believe that...there are more good than bad...it's just that the bad seem to come out in bad times....
Adam, most of us haven't noticed a shortage of good people. Just that MSNBC champions the bad people only. Bad people sell better, and MSNBC is no better than the guy who made the Trayvon shirts.
That is INSANE, and I'm pretty sure it's in violation of Federal and State firearms laws.
I've been to shooting ranges all over the country, and not one of them will allow a figure of a person or even an icon of a real person.
Even after 9/11, no one at any range I've been to will let me put up a target with bin Laden's face. I wonder if the ATF will rule on this.
Anyone who bought the poster should have their CCPs suspended.
I have a picture of George Bush with a target on his head.
Where the hell do you shoot. Kiddies world? How do you fire at a non-silhouette?
warren thats bull@!$%# at my range we get we use targets that look like thugs ,zombies ,sillohettes all the time where do you live california?
Why are you who are criticizing MSNBC for reporting this even reading the story??? Somebody got you tied up with your hands behind your back and forcing you to read it? Sheesh!!! As for this pile of human waste who sold the targets, I wish he would be put out of business and never allowed to run another business of any kind, even a lemonade stand.
Allie - with so many more things that could be reported and note-worthy - ALL news stations, etc., feel the need to feed off the ignorant - unworthy- malignant parasites. Do they not realize by doing so - more and more outlandish things will take place because they know it will make the news? Sometimes one can't help but stumble across this garage just to realize things will never change for the better. It is a sad world we now live in.
It was Sarah Palin to first use targets for political gain that became a symbol of hate and distortion. Soon, it became the hateful way to express a difference and promote hate. Her first target was one of Obama. It is just the Republican way to create and promote hate and anger. Interesting enough that not one Republican politician saw this as offensive nor commented. Now we see it being used to create further division and promote hate.
It was Sarah Palin to first use targets for political gain that became a symbol of hate and distortion
Are you insane or on crack. My Gawd I worry about people as ignorant and indoctrinated as Joe Madden
He is both!! And a HATER trying to stir up hate and violence.
What about the BLACK Panthers putting out a HIT on the guy JOE? And no one says a thing??
I think this person should have a member of his family on the target instead, then lets see how he likes it!!!!!
Sorry joe it was Dems who put the bulls eye target on their strategy map, Sarah Palin's are actually survey cross hairs, Google it for yourself and stop spinning the truth.
"It was Sarah Palin to first use targets for political gain that became a symbol of hate and distortion."
Putting and an opponent's face on a dartboard is a very old tradition. You give Sarah Palin too much credit when you say she was the first. Of course it is only Republican's that engage in this sort of behavior. Democrats stencil the face of their opponent in the toilet bowl… much more civilized.
randy is right were is the outrage about the wanted posters the black panty party put out?just getting tired of ALL the double standards the libs and blacks use ALL the @!$%#ing time
I would just like the author of the headline "Online vendor sold Trayvon Martin gun-range targets" to consider using a bit more clarity. To me it sounded like this story was about Martin buying gun-range targets. That could have been a far different tale.
Actually I thought it was about targets that Martin had shot at himself.LOL
Jodie, I thought the same thing. Poor editing.
Exactly!!! Would they have gotten as many clicks if it read "Online vendor IS SELLING Trayvon Martin gun-range targets"?
Definitely a frontrunner for "Tackiest Entrepreneurship Award. However I feel this is blowback for all of the one-sided media attention and Al Sharpton rallies.Pretty tragic that someone would think this is appropriate and even more tragic that people actually bought it.
Now if this was a silhouette of Obama or Bush would the feds intervene?
They didn't when Sarah used these images
No, I think Sybrina Fulton, Trayvon's mother, is in the running for the "Tackiest Entrepreneurship Award" of 2012. She's filed several applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office to secure trademarks containing her late son’s name. In the applications, Fulton is seeking the trademarks for use on “Digital materials, namely, CDs and DVDs featuring Trayvon Martin,” and other products.
I foresee a "No Limit Ni**a" record label in our future.
people will do anything to make a buck.. hes a sick f-ck
I'll bet it was Ted Nugent.
Racists have so much hate in their hearts. The depth of their depravity never ceases to surprise me.
Racist charges do not mean diddly squat any more, due to the antics of Sharpton and Jesse's actions. The two have yelled racist several times and it turned out to be a false charge. Duke soccer team, Twana Brawley are two examples.
So what do the seller of the targets, Trayvon's parents, and Al Sharpton all have in common? They are all trying to cash in on a teenager's death
Not to mention Rupert Murdoch (with the hacking scandal).
Damn. They're sold out. I wanted to get a few for myself.
A regular comedian TJ! Just a barrel of laughs-
Of course you are tex, that's the type of douchebag you are...
Sadly, the "formerly major media networks and their retarded staffs" all capitalized on the story about the...
175 pound, Six foot-three... gold grill wearin... 'made ni**a'... NO LIMIT_ni**A... who violently beat up his school bus driver and got caught with a bag full of STOLEN women's jewelry at school...
Oh yes THAT media... who enthusiastically fanned the flames of racism just to boost their ratings and SELL ADVERTISING on their slimy networks... without ANY CONCERN for WHO got hurt?
Doctoring and "photo shopping pictures" of Zimmerman to blatantly HIDE his obvious injuries?
Drastically Airbrushing pics of Travon to make him appear more "innocent and angelic... actually WHITENING his skin tone???? Apparently... "all of that was absolutely FINE"... little to no comments... ZERO apologies, etc.
Remember, the folks at all those media networks supposedly graduated from college and journalism schools, and "should be more responsible about ACCURATELY REPORTING the news".
Now, all of a sudden... some of the most ignorant among us are freaking out because "some unknown guy" who runs a "shooting range" did something stupid? WOW! Now that is shocking! But hey...
I don't recall ANY outrage at how Travon's pictures were "airbrushed to make him look WHAT?"
I don't recall ANY outrage that the media insists on showing pics of a "12 year old kid in a Hollister shirt?"
I don't recall ANY outrage that the media INSISTED Zimmerman's poorly reproduced arrest pics showed no blood? That was THE HEADLINE for DAYS!!!
As much as I disagree with the idea of putting anyone's face on a target poster... at the end of the day...
let's get real; it is a "poster". At best it is harmless; at worst it is just stupid.
Media sluts are media sluts... so I give NONE of them "any benefit of any doubt EVER!" Journalists make prostitution seem like a "classy profession"... or islamic terrorists seem intelligent.
What do you call hundreds of journalists trapped in a burning building?
A great start :-)
And this "according to PMSNBC media morons" is actually supposed to o be a story?
This article was "reviewed by their moronic staff" and guess what?
Yep! Those morons actually "approved this?"
And yet, those very same people walk around, telling them selves "they're journalists".
Now THAT is funny :-)
160 pounds, no proof the jewelery was stolen, gold grill i believe was proven not to be him, what proof he "violently" beat up his school bus driver? None? That's right...none. ....make up @!$%# much?
You should have your caps lock privileges revoked, and never be seen again
Speedy
Are you just stupid?
Every time a Conservative opens it's mouth I am amazed.
You should be amazed when you hear the truth. You don't get that from the liberal news.
Except when the truth isn't actually the truth, and just what you want to believe is the truth.
And right back at you, the liberal. That is exactly what you do, while accusing conservatives.
It's funny how retards like you throw around the "liberal" card when the conversation doesn't go your way.
Oh yeah, he just so happened to have a backpack full of women's jewelry and a screwdriver, because that's totally normal for a teenager to be walking around with. No way that stuff was stolen. Right.
And HIS OWN TWEETS admitted that he punched the bus driver. And yes, the picture of him with the gold grillz on his teeth is real.
You're the one who's making things up here.
I"d have to rate you right wing zealots as the best liars I've come across in daze. Not since Romney yesterday, when he was denying he bullied other kids in his private school. You're all worth nothing and probably look as good. The whole target thing was just entrepreneurship which probably just got him headaches. How much can you make from selling paper targets.
Although I haven't heard any of that story quoted above, It wouldn't surprise if it were true.
Trayvon Martin was out stalking that neighborhood. Yeah, I can hear the cries of his innocence now. But the truth of the matter is that someone found evidence of his past behavior and used it against him. Many black people still insist that Martin was the little 3rd grader like the fake picture used by the major media outlets.
Get real, I hate being lied to especially when I know I'm being played for a reason. Martin was out looking for trouble. Not out buying candy. There must be a vast number of black reporters because that fake azz story stayed in circulation for so long. Everyone knows that's just a lie. How many young black men, yes men, don't look for trouble of some sort or another. Even NFL players are high half the time.
So if I see a picture of Trayvon Martin with a bag full of jewelry, you'd better believe it's stolen. Why wouldn't it be? Why is Martin so special now? Cause he's dead? So what!? I can't afford a BAG FULL OF jewelery. How can an unemployed little teenager afford it?
I haven't heard those lips moving from Al Sharpton or J.J. lately. What? Suddenly there are no soclal causes? Hardly.
Vegains, you are a moron. Plain and simple. Out looking for trouble, assume much? Yes, he was looking to get shot. Idiot.
Aren't all the people selling and buying dangerously psycho? WHy can the bear arms? what a joke
The vendor would not disclose his identy. Yeah, cause "he" knows "he" would get hurt.
Nobody ever went broke, underestimating, the class, or intelligence, of the American populace...
Supporting date comes in DAILY.....
What "date" is that, November 7, 2012? Please don't talk bad about anyone else's intelligence. You don't type like a "Mensa" candidate.
Davset, that would be "talk badly," not "talk bad." Typos aren't a sign of lack of intelligence. Not knowing when and/or how to use a verb on the other hand is. Also, putting Mensa in quotations is incorrect grammar.
Look in the mirror and stop being a grammar nazi. And no, I'm not being a grammar nazi, I'm making the point that when you say something stupid it might come around and bite you in the a$$.
I wasn't talking about some one else's intelligence, you were. Your correction was appreciated, and I don't usually point them out. This time I just couldn't resist. I am not a grammatican, grammitician, er, er, I am outa' here. :-)
Now it this isn't just a bunch of crap, you would have posted a picture of the alleged target. I take your action to be that of a provocateur intent on promoting racial hatred.
The person(s) who sell the targets is sick. The buyers are sicker yet. And I'll give you 100:1, if the buyers vote, they vote for Republicans.
And MSNBC is just as sick. Both the seller and MSNBC are in it for the money. No difference.
@Dasvet - Money makes the world go 'round. Nothing in life is free. MSNBC is made up of many people, all trying to make a living just like you and the Tea Party want us to.
Are you suggesting that everything must be free? Or mayhaps you're suggesting you get to buy the highest quality goods made just for you while we settle for cheap crap made in China?
I don't care what or who you are - you don't deny someone's right to make money. Granted there are exceptions, like the one mentioned in this article.
Getting back on topic: bad enough this guy called Trayvon a thug, but the @!$%# didn't even apologize! I smell a member of the KKK on this one. He definitely needs to be shot - let him know how Trayvon felt when HIS life was snuffed out.
A one-way trip to hell oughta do this loser some good.
wrong
