ACSOL: Action Alert “KILL A PEDOPHILE” MERCHANDISE
There are at least four websites currently offering for sale merchandise with the message “Kill a Pedophile.” The websites are Amazon, Etsy, Killer Culture Shop and Scratshirt. Merchandise being sold on these websites includes clothing and/or stickers.
“The logos on some of the merchandise being sold include graphics of a person aiming a gun at the head of a bound man on his knees as well as the message ‘Kill a Pedophile,’” stated ACSOL Executive Director Janice Bellucci. “We must stop the sale and advertisement of this merchandise.”
Registrants, family members and supporters are urged to contact each of the websites online and demand that merchandise promoting violence against any person or group of people be immediately removed from the website.
“There is no need to identify yourself as a registrant or a family member when you communicate this demand,” stated Bellucci. “The primary reason for removal is that the message incites violence.”
Here are the websites, how to file complaints for each website, and an example of what you can say. You can follow the instructions yourself to see the images of the terrible merchandise.

Isn’t this straight out Solicitation? Here’s the federal statute:
18 U.S. Code § 373 – Solicitation to commit a crime of violence
U.S. Code
Notes
(a) Whoever, with intent that another person engage in conduct constituting a felony that has as an element the use, attempted use, or threatened use of physical force against property or against the person of another in violation of the laws of the United States, and under circumstances strongly corroborative of that intent, solicits, commands, induces, or otherwise endeavors to persuade such other person to engage in such conduct, shall be imprisoned not more than one-half the maximum term of imprisonment or (notwithstanding section 3571) fined not more than one-half of the maximum fine prescribed for the punishment of the crime solicited, or both; or if the crime solicited is punishable by life imprisonment or death, shall be imprisoned for not more than twenty years.
What am I missing? As far as said solicited felony being “imminent”, look at what happened at the Capitol. Can’t the people who are selling this crap be straight up arrested and charged with a crime with Amazon, whoever, being in conspiracy?
Law suits work because they hit people where they live: in the pocket book. How about a class action? Am I naive here and don’t know it?
Our local police chief let it slip that “no body likes pedophiles except other pedophiles”. I lawfully recorded the conversation and he sees this stuff as someone’s opinion. No it isn’t; this stuff is direct calls to action to commit murder.
I can no longer find “Kill a ….” shirts at Amazon. They have also taken down the pages they had up at their links on google.
I cannot find them on Facebook.
Google is still allowing for the searches. Etsy is still selling them. Ebay is selling them.
Amazon and Facebook seem to be listening. Let me know if I am wrong.
