Sell them online, under your wife’s name.
Business is business.

Great T-shirt!

And, it wasn't "the cops" or a choke-hold that killed Eric Garner - it was too much KFC.

“”Unfortunately, the divisive message ... that is being currently promoted through the sale of T-shirts bearing this message damages the goal of unity and further divides our community,”


They think this shirt is divisive????

Good lord,haven’t they been paying attention for the past few years,especially when Obola speaks.

He has divided the country,not a tee shirt.

I didn't see that "US" part of it until you mentioned it. Good point.

Thank you for your interest in South Bend Uniform products. Your order has been received and will be processed once payment has been confirmed.


Ordered 5 EA for Christmas presents, one for each of my children. They are just down the road so I can pick them up. Next up, a polite email to these “city officials” who are not fit to serve.

It’s all about proper authority and knowing one’s rights. We’ve raised a few generations of folks who despise proper authority and do not know their rights or even care. Thank you, public education Marxists and “city officials” to live not to serve but to be served.

From the header of this article: . . . recent protests of the police killing of a New York City man.

Editorial bias. The police did not kill Eric Gardner. He died from cardiac arrest in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. That is not a killing.
