Huffington Post
Though revenge porn is what ultimately did Zimmerman's account in, it's hardly the first reprehensible thing he tweeted. Here are some Zimmerman Twitter low points:
The Time He Re-Tweeted A Photo Of Trayvon Martin’s Body
Zimmerman retweeted a photo showing Trayvon Martin -- the teen whom he shot and killed in 2012 -- lying dead in the grass. The photo was originally posted by Twitter user @SeriousSlav, who included the caption “Z-man is a one man army.”
The Time He Said The Lives Of ‘Black Slime’ Don’t Matter
The known killer of an unarmed black person tweeted the words “Cops lives matter, black slime doesnt [sic]”
The Time He Called President Barack Obama An “Ignorant Baboon”
Zimmerman tweeted a quote by Obama, in which the president noted that more people die from gun-related threats in the United States than from terrorism. Instead of attributing the quote to Obama, however, Zimmerman cited “Ignorant Baboon.”
The Time He Appeared To Call His Victim, Trayvon Martin, A “Moron”
“We all know how it ended for the last moron that hit me. Give it a whirl cupcake,”Zimmerman wrote in response to a Twitter user who referenced slapping Zimmerman for "Slap-An-Idiot Wednesday."
The Time He Promoted His Confederate Flag Paintings
Zimmerman teamed up with the owner of a self-proclaimed “Muslim-free” gun store in Florida to sell prints of his painting of a Confederate flag in August. On Twitter,he claimed his painting “represents the hypocrisy of political correctness that is plaguing this nation.” Sure, George. That’s what the Confederate flag represents.
Never caught the twitter bug thank god, so it isn't a great loss to me. Must be a slow news day. Ex-GF pics? Sounds pretty high school to me.
ReplyDeleteClearly, Zimmerman is no hero or brave soul like Caitlin Jenner.

This is the hero of your readers.
ReplyDeleteAh--I suppose you're using "gun rights" hero, and "poster boy," in the same sense that Leland Yee is a "'gun control' hero." Except, of course, that Yee actually was honored by the best known U.S. "gun control" organization (although I had to use the Wayback Machine to get past their cowardly--and comically inept--attempt to hide from their shameful history).
ReplyDeleteThe gun rights camp [by and large] has zero respect for Zimmerman. The support to this point had been mostly, the defense against the inept media narrative, which disingenuously inserted Stand Your Ground as a key component of the case. Of course, we all know that SYG played no role whatsoever in the Zimmerman trial.
ReplyDeleteThat's right! But it's nice to know you gun loons hero worship a guy who sends nude pictures of his ex around the world, not to mention all the run ins he has had with police since he killed someone. You choose your friends wisely hA HA HA HA HA
