Trayvon Martin Gun Targets Defended By Creator In The Name Of Capitalism

You can't claim the guy who decided to start selling Trayvon Martin gun-range targets is dishonest. When contacted by a reporter, the anonymous creator said he made gun targets in the shape of the teenager killed by neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman because "my main motivation was to make money off the controversy." OK, then. Zimmerman's own attorney has condemned the targets, calling them a form of "hate-mongering." Miami New Times has the story.

CAPITALISM not CAPITOLISM

learn to spell, or at least use firefox, it will red-squiggley-underline any words you get wrong.

As for making money off it, well he's honest at least. And it's not like he's leaning in favor or against what happened. He just wants money. I see no problem with that.

Folks that only have commentary on spelling and grammer must be without any good opinions.

 ...Did you COMPLETELY ignore the part where I reluctantly agreed with his defense?
I mean sure, it's horrible and all, but the only reason he's doing it is for the moneys.
Also, I'm sorry, but CAPITALISM, I learned that in second grade. I don't mean to be a grammar nazi about it, and in fact, I even offered help with automatic spellchecking.

Also, I hate to do this, but GRAMMER? Seriously?! You've gotta be trolling me here.

 Happy mother's day to you as well, sorry I got so defensive, but I did have an opinion on the issue.
My opinion was that in spite of conflicted feelings about what he was doing, he isn't doing anything wrong.
If greed was illegal, we wouldn't have any big businesses, credit cards, or government.

I'll just say I apologise and end it there. Sorry to have upset you. Happy Mother's Day.

I mean, yep, it's wrong but hey, it's America. There's no crime in doing anything like that to make money. Here was just another opportunist seeking to make cash off of controversy. Happens every day. Only problem with the story is that it's been brought to view to cause even more controversy. I think this is just one of those things that good American's will have to take with a grain of salt.

You have misspelled capitalism.  What's with the editing, or lack thereof, on this site?

"Capitalism" at its finest, but damn what an asswipe.  That is just wrong on so many levels.
