Back in November 2012, an app developer decided it was a good idea to make a violent game based off of random people trying to kill Trayvon Martin. With the George Zimmerman trial in full swing at the moment, the game, titled “Angry Trayvon,” has been bludgeoned with loads of criticism and as a result was pulled from the Google Play store last night, July 8th.
Although the app was officially taken off the market, it still upset a lot of people. NewsOne described the game’s plot as Trayvon taking revenge all over the world on people who “terrorize cities everyday.” Here’s how NewsOne described the game:
“Trayvon is angry and nobody can stop him from completing his world tour of revenge on the bad guys who terrorize cities everyday.
Use a variety of weapons to demolish Trayvon’s attackers in various cities around the world.
As you complete a level, you will notice more bad guys coming at Trayvon at a faster pace and a deadlier attack.
If you like to attack from far, then purchase the ‘dagger’ as you will be able to throw it at your enemies for the kill.
If you want to dominate the leaderboards across the world, then make sure you collect the money that the bad guys will drop once you kill them to increase your score.”
The creators of “Angry Trayvon” released a comment on their Facebook page explaining that they didn’t mean to offend anyone. See their statement above.
