Proving once again that bigotry, callousness and guns are closely linked.

is a link to the story of a truly epic bit of racist stupidity. A police sergeant showed up at weapons practice with targets that he most likely found humorous: targets made to resemble Trayvon Martin.
Said sergeant then invited the others at the range to use the targets, too. To their credit, they told him to pound sand. The cop has since been fired, which shows that the rest of his department is not as stupid as he is.
The next question is, how many sick f***s also buy and shoot at pictures of an innocent young man who was murdered by another bigoted jerkoff with a gun? Any is too many.
