Acquittal Does Not Mean You Are a Good Person or Will Become One
George Zimmerman is best known as the man who shot Trayvon Martin on February 26, 2012. On July 13, 2013, he was acquitted of any wrongdoing. Since then, Zimmerman has been involved in several other incidents involving violence and buffoonery such as confrontations with the police and allegedly assaulting his ex-wife and girlfriends.
Most recently, a "Twitter fan" addressed Zimmerman as a "one man army" and tastelessly posted a picture of Martin lying dead in the grass. Instead of ignoring it, deleting it, or even tweeting back that it was inappropriate, Zimmerman retweeted the photo to his 11,000 followers. This in turn gained media attention and the incident has since made…show more content… Last month, a Twitter user said they wanted to slap him. Zimmerman responded, “We all know how it ended for the last moron that hit me. Give it a whirl cupcake.”
What does Zimmerman make of all this? According to the NY Daily News, he tweeted "Gee..I sure hate offending people that have plotted and tried to kill me and my family..." and send out a photo matching President Obama with Virginia murderer Vester Flanagan.
In response to Twitter taking his photos down, he wrote, "I wonder when Twitter will take these images down???" and posted the "Wanted" posters showing his face that many Twitter users still have online.
Then, as quickly as he came, Zimmerman disappeared back into the darkness from which he arose, "As much as I love owning all you trolls I have to work... On my tan!. Tell 'Karma' she's worthless, God protects me."
Since his acquittal, Zimmerman has been trying to sell his art online. Sadly, most of his art involves the confederate flag. He also teamed up with a gun store owner in Florida to sell his confederate flag paintings. The gun store made the news when it declared itself a "Muslim Free Zone." Other notable mentions for Zimmerman included his tweet “Cops lives matter, black slime doesnt [sic]” and his response to President Obama, “the # of people who die from gun-related incidents around this country dwarfs any deaths that happen through terrorism,” - Ignorant
