George Zimmerman
Former Florida neighborhood watchman, George
Zimmerman, continues to rub salt in the wounds of the
parents of the late Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman stalked, then
shot and killed 17-year-old Martin as he walked home in his
dad's subdivision in Sanford, Florida. Desperate for money,
Zimmerman put the gun up for auction yesterday, with a
listing price of $5,000 and the delusional description,
"Your opportunity to own a piece of American history." The
site then removed the item from auction due to public
outcry. Zimmerman has since relisted the gun with a second
website. However, as of tonight, the second website removed
the gun from auction as well.
George Zimmerman's gun
Zimmerman's behavior is callous and
disrespectful. The justice system failed miserably in the
Zimmerman criminal case. He keeps illustrating this fact
with his disgraceful and violent behavior that is completely
socially unacceptable. That gun is not something to be proud
of. He used it to kill a teenage kid, whose rights he
violated. What he did to Martin is shameful and it is only a
matter of time before it catches up with him.

Man Who Shot Trayvon Martin Auctioning Gun
May 12, 2016 12:31 AM - The Florida man who
sparked the Black Lives Matter movement in the United States
with the shooting of an unarmed teenager four years ago is
now selling the gun he used in the killing. George Zimmerman
listed the gun in an online auction beginning Thursday and
required an opening bid of at least $5,000.
He shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in
February 2012 as the teen walked back to a relative's home
after purchasing snacks at a convenience store in the town
of Sanford. Zimmerman was arrested six weeks later, but a
jury later acquitted him of second degree murder. He said
the shooting was an act of self-defense. The U.S. Justice
Department said last year it would not file civil rights
charges against Zimmerman, saying the evidence in the case
did not meet the "high standard for a federal hate crime
prosecution."
Zimmerman told local Florida television
station WOGX he recently got the gun back from the Justice
Department. "I thought it's time to move past the firearm
and if I sell it and it sells, I move past it, otherwise
it's going in a safe for my grandkids and never to be used
or seen again," he said. He said he is free to do whatever
he likes with his possessions...
