This makes me sick to my stomach.
The silhouette on the shooting target is faceless. But the hoodie, the Skittles and the iced tea leave nothing to the imagination. This is meant to be Travyon Martin, the unarmed 17-year-old shot to death in February in Sanford, Florida.Skittles brand candy is clearly depicted on the targets. The Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company, a division of Mars Inc., produces and markets Skittles. They could stop the sale of these targets by taking legal action against the Hiller Armament Company, which sells the targets online.
This is one of the most reprehensible, indefensible, and disgusting things I have ever seen in my life. I can’t believe someone at the Hiller Armament Company thought this was okay.
Basic human decency says we need to stop this.
and it’s downstairs, in my family room, and I’m just too damned tired to go shut it off.
Oh, yeah, and hope. There’s that, too.
hey, followers.
PLEASE DON’T HURT YOURSELVES.
it doesn’t solve problems.
i promise you, it won’t.
YOU CAN OVERCOME ANYTHING.
you can climb every mountain.
and i know it doesn’t look so shiny right now,
but there’s a future for you
and it’s so fucking bright that you’d be blinded if you saw it.
keep your head up.
your dreams will all come true.
i promise.
alright?
“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
Best and truest thing ever.
