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.

The Killer Culture Shop merchant actually posted a RSO map and told people to use it to go “hunt pedophiles” like Pokemon.

An update:
I got the following reply from Amazon (via email): This E-mail message couldn’t be delivered to our Customer Service Department. If you still need help, please contact us again:
So I used the provided link and went into chat. The complaint was escalated and they called me on the phone. Then I was handed over to a supervisor who recorded the complaint and promised to file it with the appropriate committee.
I had to jump through some hoops, so please, people, don’t give up if Amazon shunts you aside a couple times. Be persistent (but polite and soft-spoken).
I just contacted all 4. I had to log in to my regular amazon account and go to the contact us link and report violations of their TOS.
The Scratshirt site has a bunch of broken links. (It looks an awful lot like a spoof site that simply takes money from your CC and then you never hear from them again, however, I could be wrong about that.) I did manage to file a complaint, however.
Killer Culture Shop also has a web site/presence on FB https://www.facebook.com/killercultureshop/ on Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/killerculture/ and on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/killercultureshop2/. I dont have accounts on these sites but am trying to report his selling of violence provoking items. See if they drop his sites. More than one way to skin a cat.
I have an Amazon account and was able to reach out to the Customer Service under Report a Violation of Selling Policy. I then asked for a live chat. I spoke with a CS rep and offered a few examples of the kill a pedo and kill a heroin dealer. I asked they report these and other similar sites for violations. The CS rep said a report was submitted and thanked me for letting them know about these violations. Individuals like me help keep Amazon a family friendly place
