In the past couple of days, news sources have reported that the Hiller Armament Company of Virginia has been selling gun targets that look like Trayvon Martin, complete with a hoodie, Skittles, and iced tea.
It's not just
vile, it's possibly illegal: Virginia law says that no one can profit
off of the likeness of any person without his consent -- even if that
person has been killed. But as soon as reporters started asking
questions, the Hiller Armament Company shut down its website and
disconnected its phone.
Tahir Duckett
lives in Virginia, and he wants Virginia's Attorney General, Ken
Cuccinelli, to investigate the Hiller Armament Company and punish them
if they have broken the law.
Thanks,
