No matter where you stood on this case, I think this is just sick. Travis Andrews of The Washington Times Reports:
George Zimmerman shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin on February 26, 2012. Zimmerman was charged with second-degree murder and manslaughter, then acquitted by a Florida jury on July 13, 2013. The case sparked a nationwide debate and protests over “stand your ground” laws and race relations in the United States.
Now, Zimmerman is auctioning off the 9-millimeter pistol he used to kill Martin on a website called GunBroker.com.
“I am honored and humbled to announce the sale of an American Firearm Icon,” he wrote in the description of the gun used to kill the unarmed, black teenager. “The firearm for sale is the firearm that was used to defend my life and end the brutal attack from Trayvon Martin on 2/26/2012.”
I don’t care what side of the fence you where on when all of this took place. What I do know is that this is straight up gross and signs of a very mentally disabled man. I cannot believe this.
What do you think? We want your thoughts in the comments!
UPDATE: May 12
GunBroker.com, the auction site where Zimmerman had posted the gun, now says the listing is “no longer in the system.” It appears the item was taken down. Whether the listing was removed by GunBroker or by Zimmerman himself is unknown at this point.
