They say there’s only one thing wrong with the trayvon
targets, if you miss, they slam your head into the
concrete.

Wow that’s a trenchant observation about Hoodie Boy. Because damn homes that glittering jewel of intellect Traytable was...oh wait..Ice Tray—no that’s not right... Top Tray was... oh crap never mind...... Clock you are naive—we will always be racist, homophobic and my favorite blah,blah blah. The Left needs the money and I don’t need the heartburn of worrying about what a bunch of race industry barking Lefties are using as the outrage DuJour

“On a similar subject, I asked my gun range owner if he sold Obama targets.”

He’d sell out of those a lot quicker than two days! Perhaps two minutes.

It’s definitely in poor taste.

In Massachusetts, it's illegal to have a human image for a target unless your range is in the police department.

I’ll be darned—I didn’t know that. Good law.

GRRRR.... So you support a “product” that you KNOW will INTENTIONALLY inflame racial animosity? I love FR, but I swear some of the people on here sound like a bunch GD hicks who never met a Black person in their life.

Being a thug is about behavior, not race.

Hoss, you want to know about inflaming racial animosity—how about a culture that tolerates or endorses children having children by multiple impregnators, a culture that tolerates or endorses a contempt for education, a culture that tolerates or endorses a stupidly violent, misogynistic music, a culture that tolerates or celebrates thug life and then blames good decent white people for their assured misery. The solution to the misery of Traytable’s culture is a mirror because that is where they can see the answer for the, to date, intractable ills of Black America. I am not going to be cowed by the race industry nor are many of my fellow Freepers. The race pimps wear us out. Hey I thought that was a pretty articulate rant for a hick! :)

Bad mojo. Now some NBPP poster targets would have some class!

That was a poor choice in artwork. It doesn’t reflect the violent attitude of Travon Martin. This passive pose doesn’t accurately reflect the active threat he posed to Zimmerman.

It should have been of a hoodie with arms raised and over-sized fists striking toward you, and the Skittles barely visible in the pocket.

I’ve wondered whether the SS would come after you for marketing toilet paper with Obama’s face on it.

I tried to email that image to some people and Verizon’s spam detector kicked it back. Very strange.

No, I think theme that imply violence against a president - like a photo target of him - are the things that set that kind of scrutiny off.

I believe Obama toilet paper already exists. As well as Koran toilet paper, excellent for using after a good piece of ham.

Some have suggested he had drugs, as skittles is street for drugs.

We have had numerous media requests asking us to respond to reports that an unidentified person has produced a gun range target meant to represent Trayvon Martin.

We feel we must go on record as stating that we unequivocally find this appalling and disgusting in every regard.

It is an insult to the Martin family, it inflames the already heated social tension surrounding the George Zimmerman case, and it represents an irresponsible approach to gun ownership.

It is this type of hatred that will make it more difficult to try this case.


Was there any such comment concerning the “Zimmerman wanted” posters distributed by the New Black (NAZI) Panthers?
