Trayvon Martin look-alike gun range targets are apparently the latest fad in supporting the idea that George Zimmerman is innocent.
According to Huffington Post , the description of the product, which is for sale on a popular firearms auctioning website states:
“Everyone knows the story of Zimmerman and Martin. Obviously we support Zimmerman and believe he is innocent and that he shot a thug. Each target is printed on thick, high quality poster paper with a matte finish! The dimensions are 12?x18? ( The same as Darkotic Zombie Targets) This is a Ten Pack of Targets.”
The seller, identified as “hillerarmco” from Virgina Beach, Va., told Orlando’s WKMG news team that:
“The response is overwhelming…I sold out in two days.”
The paper targets are currently being sold in packs of 10 for $8.
According to Click Orlando , one firearm owners association website member stated:
“Even though I fully believe Zimmerman was justified in shooting, Trayvon was still a human being and does not deserve that kind of disrespect in death.”
Mark O’Mara, George Zimmerman’s attorney told WKMG that the targets were incredibly offensive. He said:
“This is the highest level of disgust and the lowest level of civility,” O’Mara said. “It’s this type of hatred — that’s what this is, it’s hate-mongering — that’s going to make it more difficult to try this case.”
Natale Jackson, attorney for Trayvon Martin’s family, stated that:
“It’s a sad certain segment of our society that would think you could make a profit off the killing of a teenage boy.”
WKMG reports that the seller’s “main motivation was to make money off the controversy.” Online advertisements were taken down by Friday.
