"My main motivation was to make money off the controversy."

This is an outrage. Only Trayvon's parents are allowed to make money off this.

[Lurker]

Perhaps there is some hope for humanity.

[fwdude]

Okay, this is a little crass.

On a similar subject, I asked my gun range owner if he sold Obama targets. He said he'd be in prison if he did.

[SuzyQue]

Decidedly tacky.

(I don’t know why “tacky” went out of vogue. It’s a useful word in some situations.)

[dfwgator]

God Bless Capitalism.

[anton]

No, the parents are not allowed to make money off their son’s death. The money is exclusively in the hands of AL Sharpton.

"According to RawStory.com, the item was labeled "10 Pack Trayvon Martin Targets..."

Now Martin's mom is going to trademark "10 pack Trayvon Martin Targets."

lol

[biggredd1]

only george zimmerman wanted posters sold by the old black panthers is legit.

"My main motivation was to make money off the controversy."

Hmmm. Turnabout being fair play and all..

[Clintonfatigued]

That’s repulsive. If I were a conspiracy buff, I’d swear that this dirtbag was trying to make 2nd. Amendment supporters and gun owners look bad.

It’s definitely in poor taste.

[griswold3]

Pretty tasteless, if you ask me.

[Pearls Before Swine]

It’s definitely in poor taste.

I agree, but apparently there's money in poor taste. Plug in your poor taste example here: I think "Girls Gone Wild" is a starter--more as a franchise than a one-off.

Thar's gold in them hills of bad taste.

[Lazamataz]

Not.

Freakin'.

Cool.

[ml/nj]

In poor taste, IMHO.

Absolutely in poor taste. Kind of like a congressman wearing a hoody on the floor of the House. Kind of like demanding an indictment and conviction prior to the presentation of evidence. Kind of like demanding changes to laws before you now the impacts. But absolutely in poor taste.

[cardinal4]

I agree it is tasteless, but will submit trademarking his name was pretty f’d up, too.

[griswold3]

BTW, I cursed the ground that Benjamin Crump walks on. May justice be served.
