He admitted that his "main motivation" in creating the targets was to "make money off the controversy," according to WKMG Orlando.
Well, at least there's that. If he thought he was making some sort of profound statement or being cool and edgy, that'd be a problem, but just making money off of stupid people... I can live with that.
From: RayDyn | #003 Are you really surprised? People will do anything to make money, and judging by the people who come to my work, people will buy anything.
I dunno. Selling deliberately offensive t-shirts or other merchandise would be really in poor taste, but I wouldn't be surprised if people did it since they'd know it would sell. But gun targets? That's going way beyond than just trying to make a buck.

Honestly, the guy's only mistake was actually using the name "Trayvon Martin" in the product description. A generic target with the hoodie and skittles would have gotten the message across and there would be absolutely nothing anybody could do to stop him. Using the name probably does open him up to lawsuits or something though, so it's no wonder he took it down.

The makers of Skittles might have had something to say about it.
