The guest of honor: George Zimmerman, pictured with Mike Piwowarski and two other individuals, caused a gun show to be cancelled after he was named the 'featured guest'
The Daily Mail
A Florida gun show was cancelled after organizers publicly announced Trayvon Martin killer George Zimmerman would be a guest at the event - but Zimmerman will still make a public appearance.
‘The New Orlando Gun Show,’ scheduled for this weekend at Orlando’s Majestic Events Center, was cancelled Thursday despite more than 100 vendors threatening to take the owners to court if the show did not go on.
Organizer Mike Piwowarski, who also owns a local gun store, told ClickOrlando that the show was cancelled because of the announced Zimmerman appearance, and Zimmerman posted emails to his Twitter account backing up that claim.
‘We've had discussions with The Majestic and they decided to cancel the event because George Zimmerman was making an appearance,’ said Piwowarski.
When contacted by MailOnline, Piwowarski clarified that Zimmerman was to be a paying vendor who wanted to attend for a meet and greet - he would not have charged for any autographs.
Zimmerman's intent was to be able to attend an event where he would be more free to be himself, where there would be less negativity than he has encountered in other settings, according to Piwowarski.
When asked if organizers had considered possible backlash to Zimmerman's attendance, Piwowarski replied 'I’m not sure that we were gauging reaction at all.. it was someone who was legally able to have a table.'
Sue Majestic Events Center. Use discovery to get documentation regarding anyone who contacted them and interfered in the event and then sue them.
ReplyDeleteBald faced black racism and black McCarthyism needs to be treated the same way as any other racism has been treated.
Maybe George Zimmerman should start a 501 (C)3 or (C)4 organization to address this issue and other issues such as production of very large numbers thugs and improvements to SYG to stop the kind of abuse which George, his family and numerous other people have suffered in this and similar cases?
If the owners are in breach of contract, the vendors should sue. Gun shows are already hated by the control freaks. Keeping Zimmerman away won't placate them, and they aren't worth placating in the first place.
ReplyDeleteYep, invite a murderer to your show selling more tools for more murders. Plus sell every gun with a bible. Sick and perverted.
