George Zimmerman posts photo of Trayvon Martin's body

Source: WPLG

MIAMI -George Zimmerman shared a photo of the corpse of Trayvon Martin on his Twitter account Sunday.

Zimmerman killed the 17-year-old from Miami Gardens on Feb. 26, 2012. He was acquitted, and has shown little remorse.

"We all know how it ended for the last moron that hit me," he said on Twitter last month. "Give it a whirl cupcake."


Zimmerman, 31, shared the photo of the corpse, after one of his fans created the original post. The Twitter user said, "Z-Man is a one-man army."

And all prior to and throughout the trial, I pointed out the holes and logical inconsistencies in his "self-defense/ambushed" story. And people, even here, told me I didn't know what I was talking about.

And yet, what we've seen since from Zimmerman the very minute he walked out of the Sanford courthouse a free man is an impulsive, ugly, hateful and out of control human being.

One who very likely was extremely pissed off that rainy night because his wife had argued with him and then to top it off he saw one of those "fucking punks" in his neighborhood, the kind of "asshole who always gets away."

He's done everything in his power, so far, to keep his name "alive" in people's minds, as the one who turned a well-liked, decent young man into a dead young man.

Thanks for the article, bluevoter4life.

Maybe, when he no longer can generate reactions, he'll leave us with one big story when he blows himself up.

Should have been clear long ago, but you know how racists are -- They all deny it.

The comments are disgusting, not unlike the gunners' comments on the Discussionist and elsewhere.

Remember his very first comment on the shooting was to launch a fundraising website with a banner photo at the top of a black community center defaced with the words "Long live George Zimmerman"

In fact, I just e-mailed "Ring of Fire Radio" and posed your question to them.
Depending on what answer I receive, I may post your question as a OP.
(Could Trayvon Martin's Family File a Civil Lawsuit Against George Zimmerman?)

I doubt very much that it was "only a California thing"

However, Zimmerman isn't exactly swimming in cash these days, so actually getting any money or assets from him are slim, even if the Martin family did win a civil case against him.

O.J. Simpson is currently serving a jail sentence of up to 33 years for armed robbery for attempting to steal sports memorabilia he claimed was his in Las Vegas.
He has failed to pay the Goldman family any of the $33.5 million he owes in damages.

and smashed into the mountain just recently.... You CAN'T repeatedly taunt fate without fate finally winning a hand. Georgie's outrageous actions are gonna snag him, by and by. Dare devils of all sorts rarely live to a ripe and robust old age. I'm interested in aviation history - SO MANY "pioneers" had their lives cut short by taunting ill fate. Then there's the sports icons who go repeatedly into battle - driven by fame and fortune. It's now coming to light - the price paid by deliberately abusing your physical self. Georgie's time will come.

He can't hurt Treyvon Martin anymore, but he sure as hell can eviscerate Treyvon's loved ones.



Even Yahoo news, normally rather conservative, had this headline:

George Zimmerman has a sick, in a bad way, twitter feed. It really is hard for anyone to claim he is not an angry racist. I do not think his anger come from being charged in the death of Trayvon Martin. I think he was angry before he confronted Martin. He is just using the Martin incident and everything that happened after that night as an excuse for his anger.

On another note, what is up with George Zimmerman's friends, supporters, and followers? Why would someone call him a one man army? He did not do anything special. He did not take on a large group of armed fighters; he killed an unarmed teenager.
