Promoting Violence Against Cyclists

**teigyr** · 05-25-2007, 12:04 PM

I looked at the link this morning, was the first chance I had. I have to say that even after hearing the description here, I was shocked. Part of me wanted to see if I could find out who the individual is who is selling them just so I could contact him/her directly.

I really love the power that is generated on this site and I am so glad that it made a difference

Not just this site, Jane, but also Bike Journal, Cascade bike club and some others too!

Looks like it is gone entirely now!

**Eden** · 05-25-2007, 01:13 PM

well maybe not.... Now if I go back and look there it is again - I can't help but wonder if the person keeps reposting it or if it is Cafe Press wobbling about whether or not it can be sold??

I noticed it too but if you try to order, you can't. The ones without the picture, you can order but the ones wih picture, have been removed from "order" page.

Congrats to mimi on a job well done.

If I'm not mistaken, she was the first to spot it, then the jungle drums spread the word, then the community-at-large roared!

**mimitabby** · 05-25-2007, 01:30 PM

no, it wasn't me. Read the first post on this thread!

**pooks** · 05-25-2007, 01:33 PM

Oh, my mistake.

TELEGIRL!!!

Thanks to Telegirl for bringing this to everyone's attention.

ALRIGHT!!! thanks Telegirl for bringing this to our attention... I know I got emails from all my cycling friends/clubs/and the SD Bicycle Coalition and everyone emailed CafePress! One even sent an email to the governor (not a cyclist but certainly an athlete!)

I'm glad to see they are not selling that nonsense any longer!

I'm not seeing the same shirt I saw earlier but saw this:

http://www.cafepress.com/buy/share+t...t_/fpt_/c_360/

which is basically attempting to incite violence. Are there different vendors doing this theme or are they all the same one?

It's all still for sale (I checked just now)

**bikerchick68** · 05-25-2007, 03:46 PM

bikerz... it appears to be for sale... but click on "add to cart" and you get this:

Shopping Cart

Sorry!

The product ordered, the size set, or the qty set is not valid, or not understood by the computer!

Please try again.

I clicked on all of them to make sure... double check and let us know if you can buy it OK? I can't any longer...

**teigyr** · 05-25-2007, 03:49 PM

Ok, I get the same thing if I try to add it to a shopping cart.

Might be worth keeping an eye on, also. The person who created these will probably try to find another venue them.

Maybe Cafepress is learning that they should keep a better eye on what is being sold? If they take permanent action on this, it makes me feel a bit better about them.

You have the option of signing up for the sellers "newsletter". I put my name in so if they make any announcements about availability elsewhere, hopefully it can be flagged and stopped again.

**teigyr** · 05-25-2007, 03:55 PM

smart woman

I didn't even think of that. I might do that also, I wonder what other business ventures this idiot, er, I mean jackazz is doing?
