Trayvon Martin app pulled

[VectorX]

For those who haven't heard (which is unlikely), a kid in Florida named Trayvon Martin was shot to death in the last year by a guy who was on neighborhood patrol. The case has been a gigantic mess from the very start due to a ton of nonsense (that I'm not going to get into) and is currently being heard in court. The guy who shot him is on trial for murder, which he plead not guilty and is claiming self-defense, as the kid supposedly jumped on him and started beating him.

Anyway, some total, complete and utter dumbass (or maybe several of them) came up with a game called Angry Trayvon, with the antagonist having the same name and outfit (a hoodie) that Trayvon was wearing in real life when he was killed.

Can you believe the stupidity of this? Actually I'm surprised it came out in December and was only just pulled from the Google Store this week.

If you're going to base a situation on something that happened in real life, at least change the name of the lead character. Good grief. But then, obviously whoever made this could care less and was probably just trying to make money off of the situation, having no morals whatsoever.

Wow, some people are very sick. It is unfortunate it took Google this long to pull the app but likely that's because it wasn't reported by enough people. What a sad state of affairs.

Absolutely tasteless! I sympathize with the Martin family for the loss of their son. We're on the precipice of reaching a verdict in this case. However the jury tilts, my only hope is that justice will be served at the end of the day.

Same here. The local police have been undergoing riot training as well this week.

Lets hope the jury gets it right.
