This must be the most interesting thing to happen to this town in the past 30 years... but that is pretty messed up.

If we were local we'd offer to print them for free if they could get the blanks.

You would think they would know when to stop. I am interested though, in an auto that can do up to 600 shirts a day ???

Garage printer got in over his head, and then handled it extremely poorly.

The amount of death and injury in this story is almost worthy of a Steven King novel.

I know!!! I had trouble with the body count.

They should have farmed it out.  It would have been 10 times easier to do it that way.  You can still handle the sorting and bagging, but let someone else do the printing.

If we were local we'd offer to print them for free if they could get the blanks.

Just did...

Ok here is the first red flag the main business is a Tanning Salon, screen printing in the back, we have a place here that is a hardware supply store up front embroidery and some screen printing in the back, but this kind of works as your customers are construction companies.

Good on you. A tree falling on a kid is enough tragedy without all that bs.

I heard about the story, but we aren't THAT close to Calhoun, maybe an hour away or so.  Not trying to sound callous, but it wasn't that local for us, so it didn't stay in the news.

I didn't realize they stole $14k from the family. I must have missed that in the article.

What goes around comes around...

I talked with Tripp's mom(I think).  They have the t-shirts handled by another local vendor.  We offered to help in any way possible.

$20k, they provided $6k worth of prepaid shipping packages!

IT. IS. EFFING. UN. REAL.

Interestingly enough the owner's husband is working...and on disability.  That if I am not mistaken is a no-no.  You can get in trouble for that...hopefully they do.

Also driving around town in a brand new truck!  Wonder where the money came from?

Beyond messed up. 

Alright crew, let's put our presses where our mouths are.
I propose everyone of us angered by this print and donate 100 tees.
Get the artwork from Tripp's mother and get their address. I'm in. Who else?
