George Zimmerman’s Twitter account was suspended Thursday after his social media rants turned into what looked like revenge porn.

The Florida man acquitted in the fatal 2012 shooting of black teen Trayvon Martin posted nude pictures and contact information of a woman he called “Heather” who he claimed had stolen from him and cheated on him with “a dirty Muslim.”

Zimmerman, who lists his hometown as Casselberry in the Orlando area, lives in a state that is one of 26 with laws against revenge porn, according to the Cyber Civil Rights Initiative.

The "@TherealGeorgeZ" account showed two different naked photos and an email address for the woman Thursday afternoon.

“This is Heather,” the first of two tweets about her read. “She cheated on me with a dirty Muslim.” He added a phone number and told his 15,500 followers, “She’ll sleep with anyone.”

Why is this guy still walking the streets?

[Orrex]

1. I defy anyone to find me any quote by Zimmerman...

that couldn't be believably attributed to any current Republican primary candidate.

5. Ha! Excellent observation, nt

[JI7]

2. worthless piece of shit

[Marie Marie]

3. Oh please, can't this guy just implode already?

He has already used up more precious oxygen than he deserves.

[Punkingal]

4. "A dirty Muslim" no chance this murderer is a bigot, though..

[Orrex]

6. I'm sure that some of his best friends are dirty Muslims.

Sad that we never run out of perfect examples of The Ugly American stereotype.

[HassleCat]

7. Followers vs. Admirerers

I hope some of his 15k followers follow his tweets for the same reason you follow a drunk driver, to see the inevitable crash.

8. So Trump/Zimmerman 2016

9. This guy has become famous for

his extremely poor judgment. I never accepted his account of the events surrounding the death of Trayvon Martin. And his behavior since that trial has seemed unstable and out of control.

If Florida is one of the states with laws prohibiting revenge porn, might this woman contact an attorney and bring legal action against Zimmerman? A judge might order psychological testing.

From this lay point of view, it's long overdue.

11. I get the impression he's considered a hot potato

and I think he knows it. I wouldn't be surprised if every police interaction resulted in phone calls up and down the chain of command. Obviously the country is split between him being a murderous racist bastard vs. a folk hero, but at some point some prosecutor will go for it and try to put him away. I'd like to say he's being cooperative by giving us lots of opportunities, but unfortunately these are not victimless crimes.

[saltpoint]

13. Agree with this, yes. Whoever this

woman is, she deserves her privacy. And in any case she's allowed to date anybody she wants and can choose not to date Zimmerman.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

10. "Why is this guy still walking the streets?"

To demonstrate the wisdom of Florida law.

[grasswire]

12. better yet, why is...

...ANY woman sleeping with him???

[thesquanderer]

20. Maybe Zimmerman was actually right about one thing.

That would be the answer to your question. “She’ll sleep with anyone.” Possibly he should assume that's the case with any woman who would sleep with him.

[Myrina]

22. I have to wonder if she even DID ...

.... or if he was spurned and that's why he's going full-psycho on her.

Not like he's got the best dating history out there ...

[rusty quoin]

14. Trayvon Martin's family must read stuff about him from time to time.

I cannot speak for them, but if I was Trayvon's dad, and knowing this monster who executed my boy does all these things proving he is a monster...and still is free...and is a hero to many.

I don't know..I would need a lot of support to keep me from going crazy.

I still cannot get over the mom being questioned by the defense attorney something like...isn't it true that your son was responsible for his own death...I'm sure I remember it wrong, but the questioning seemed like that to me.

27. Victim-blaming

basically. "Why did you wear that slinky dress? Did you want to get raped?". "Why did he wear a hoodie - did he want to get killed?"

[ellenrr]

16. before people commit mahem on a group they de-humanize them

Jews in Germany,
African-Americans here,
Japanese people

all have been declared less than human - and therefore it is ok to kill them.

does it ever stop?

[Tab]

26. That's typical in war

Demonizing the enemy neutralizes the humanity you'd have to overcome to kill them.

That's happening now, particularly with Muslims, so we have to be very careful we don't go further down that path.

Oh, and it works both ways too, in case anyone asks why "they hate us" (aside from the fact that many are under 25 and so we've basically bombed them their whole life).

I think the Internet generally helps in this regard to keep other perspectives open. It took a long time to become comfortable with our traditional enemies (e.g.: Russia) when the only media available dehumanizes them. But now with Internet, TV, and more 24/7 and all kinds of individual conversations and forums, although hate can ramp up fairly quickly, so can understanding. So there's hope, I hope. Of course, not all candidates out there are trying to understand, many are fanning the flames, and Trump in particular is doing so.

29. Tab, I think you're giving way too much credit to the internet.

Gorbachev basically took Russia through the transition from empire back to a single nation. But there had always been exchanges of scientific information. Once the communist party was out of power, foreign music and all kinds of exchanges began to take place, and the tension melted to a remarkable degree. With Putin in power, it is ramping up again, internet or no internet. We made peace with Germany and Japan very smoothly following WWII, largely because we were more scared of the Soviet Union and Communist China. It didn't take the internet for us to become friends and trading partners. In fact, it was probably trade that brought about the most intercultural exchange. People actually get to know each other on a more personal level in face to face meetings and exchanges than on the internet. That's how trust is built. that's on of the beauties of the Peace Corps.

[Tab]

30. Perhaps

My main point was (I think) that opening of communications through many channels has been a double-edge sword - easier to inflame the base, but also easier to reach across the ocean/whatever. I do agree Putin has been doing his best to get back to the old USSR he seems to be nostalgic for, but open communications has made it easier to see it for what it is, and also harder to sweep things under the rug.

It started long before the Internet (or specifically, the Web), you're right. Gorbachev helped a lot, and a lot of it by immigration and exposure to more multiculturalism. Also, what year was Sting's "Russians love their children too"? Somewhere early 80s, before the fall of the wall. People have been working all angles. I just think today's Internet has made it a major game-changer in situations like these.

[Nitram]

31. I agree the internet has been a help as well as a hindrance in that regard. nt

[davidpdx]

17. She probably cheated on you George because you have a small ding dong

Which would explain why you have the need to be all macho and shoot kids.

[joshcryer]

18. This dude is going to kill again.

Just unfortunate that it's going to take him murderering someone else to get him off the streets.

[Cosmocat]

25. Only a matter of time

[Blue_Tires]

19. A shame Zimmerman's fan club is lying low these days...

[Myrina]

21. He is a statistic waiting to happen

OMFG, enough already. Get him into a padded cell.

[lonestarnot]

23. Why would ANY woman have anything to do with that freak?

[colorado_ufo]

24. What could any woman find attractive in this psychopath?

[Nitram]

28. I have a feeling Zimmerman will be shot and killed in an encounter on the street...

...before he ever pays for his crime against Trayvon Martin.

[Liberal_in_LA]

32. kick

[Judi Lynn]

33. How sick would a woman have to be to even speak to Zimmerman? n/t
