George Zimmerman re-tweets photograph of Trayvon Martins …

George Zimmerman, the killer of Trayvon Martin, continues to behave as if hes in a competition to see who can be The Most Vile that he doesnt realize he long ago won, re-tweeting this weekend a since-deleted photograph of Martins dead body with the message Z-man is a one man army.

(Salon is opting not to include this picture in the post, but it can be viewed here.)

Zimmermans been doing everything he can to call attention to himself in recent months, including calling President Barack Obama an ignorant baboon and partnering with an Islamophobic gun shop owner to sell paintings of Confederate battle flags.

But re-tweeting a picture of the teenager whose life to took seemed like a new low for the proud vigilante, at least until he went on Twitter again this morning, in which he re-tweeted the embedded tweet from kataisa below:

Decent people even, or especially, ones who killed a teenager during an altercation wouldnt use what should have been the difficult decision to dispatch another human being to troll the media. But Zimmerman is more interested in owning people than he is owning up to actions:

You may have heard the phrase retweets are not endorsements in your social media travels, but in the case of George Zimmerman, thats most likely not the case. Zimmerman, who was acquitted of murdering teenager Trayvon Martin but admitted to killing him in self-defense, has been enjoying a lot of free time since the case ended; generally being involved in a racially-charged killing is not great for ones reputation.

One of his favorite pastimes has been trolling people on Twitter. Hes threatened people and even bragged about killing Martin, but in case there was any doubt as to how low he was going to stoop, wonder no more. When one fan of Zimmerman tweeted a photo of Trayvon Martins dead body saying Z-Man is a one man army, Zimmerman retweeted it [Ed. note: that link contains the image, which we are not posting here].

Wow, its almost as if he has no remorse for taking someones life.

The tweet has since been taken down, it seems, but consider yourself spared of an almost unbelievable display of unwarranted arrogance. And feel sorry for this guy, because he has completely lost his mind. It usually helps to have a soul or a heart or a spine as a backup, but George Zimmerman clearly has none of the above.

George Zimmerman Retweets A Photo Of A Dead Trayvon Martin

George Zimmerman Tweeted Photo of Trayvon Martin’s Dead …

My last post was called Katy Perrys Cat Vadge, so am I really the person who should be calling others out for what they post on the Internet? And the answer to that question is youre goddamn right I am. More than anyone, if Im being honest. Which brings us to rogue gunman turned Twitter braggadouchio George Zimmerman who thought itd be an awesome idea to retweet a photo of Trayvon Martins dead body. Which, in fairness, it probably was because anyone who somehow still admires George Zimmerman at this point is almost definitely racist as fuck. If I made a Venn diagram of his followers, itd be a pointy hat holding a whip. NY Daily News reports:

An apparent Zimmerman admirer tweeted the photo to him, adding a boast: Z-Man is a one man army. Zimmerman, a former neighborhood watch guard, briefly recirculated the graphic crime scene photo to his 11,000 Twitter followers. The picture which was used as evidence in the trial that ended with Zimmermans acquittal shows Martins body lying on grass as investigators stand over it.

Twitter quickly deleted the photo Which is not a violation of freeze peach because Twitter isnt the government, so sit your ass down. yet it left George Zimmermans account active along with the user who originally posted the body. Although, clearly Twitter recognizes its dealing with not the vigilante the Internet deserves, but the one it needs right now because heres George trying to shame a deadbeat dad into paying child support:

Keep in mind, this is the same George Zimmerman who went ballistic on his wife during their divorce to the point where the local police chief dubbed him a Sandy Hook waiting to happen. Not to mention he retweeted this in the middle of his campaign against Micah here:

I got you now, Joker. But first, blacks, amirite? You know what Im saying. Uhh. Theyre always using lawyers and shit. It pisses me off. Can we just stick to you punching me in the face? Right, sure. My bad. *pulls back fist* So, wait, youre actually cool with them? Goddammit. Just punch me!

(If anyone needs me, Ill be killing myself dead for equating George Zimmerman with Batman. BLASPHEMER!)

George Zimmerman takes stand in case of man accused of …

For the first time since being acquitted on charges that he murdered Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman was back in the same courtroom and in front of the same judge.

This time he was the alleged victim and, unlike in the Trayvon case, Zimmerman took the stand.

After hearing testimony, Circuit Judge Debra S. Nelson ruled the case against Matthew Apperson, the Winter Springs man who is accused of shooting at Zimmerman in May, can head to trial.

On May 11, Apperson fired one round from a .357-caliber handgun at Zimmerman as they drove in separate vehicles on Lake Mary Boulevard, police allege.

Apperson is charged with attempted second-degree murder, aggravated assault and shooting into an occupied vehicle.

Zimmerman explained that he was driving on Lake Mary Boulevard when a vehicle approached and started flashing its lights and honking its horn

He testified that the man in the vehicle, who he was able to identify as Apperson, started yelling at him.

He testified that Apperson screamed: "Do you remember me, you fat [expletive]? ... You owe me your life."

Zimmerman replied, laughing "You're a clown."

He said at this point he looked into Apperson's vehicle and saw the "barrel of a gun" and then heard a bang.

After hearing the bang, Zimmerman saw a hole in the front passenger window. He said he had blood on his left eyelash and shorts. Zimmerman thought he was shot.

Zimmerman said he started driving to where he saw a deputy was parked and flagged down a Lake Mary police officer. Then he was taken to the hospital where he realized he wasn't shot but injured by a piece of shattered glass.

Apperson's attorney, Michael LaFay, said his client will likely claim self-defense and a stand-your-ground hearing was "probable."

Don West, Zimmerman's attorney, was in the courtroom and said his client was a good witness, answering questions clearly and directly.

Zimmerman didn't answer questions as he was walking to or from the courtroom.

This shooting followed another incident in September 2014 when Apperson confronted Zimmerman about the Trayvon case.

According to Zimmerman, Apperson said "did you know you were wrong to kill that little black boy ... real men handle stuff with their fists."

Zimmerman fatally shot Trayvon in Sanford on Feb. 26, 2012, after calling police to report the unarmed teenager as a suspicious person.

He was eventually charged with second-degree murder by a special prosecutor, but he was acquitted at trial in July 2013, on a self-defense argument.

Matthew Apperson to be tried in George Zimmerman case …

Story highlights

Judge Debra S. Nelson ruled there was probable cause that Matthew Apperson should be tried on three charges. In addition to the attempted murder charge, he also faces one count of aggravated assault with a firearm and one count of shooting into an occupied vehicle.

George Zimmerman arrested on suspected domestic violence

Zimmerman testified for more than an hour, describing several incidents with Apperson, including one on May 11 where a bullet went through Zimmerman's passenger window and narrowly missed him, according to a police report.

Apperson told police that Zimmerman threatened to kill him and pointed a gun at him first as they drove down a road in Lake Mary, Florida. Apperson's attorney, Michael LaFay, has called it a case of self-defense.

Zimmerman denied in court on Tuesday that he pointed a gun at Apperson but said he had two firearms in his truck that day.

He said he was driving down the street when Apperson approached from behind in his car. Apperson was flashing his lights and honking his horn, Zimmerman said. He moved over but the Apperson got in behind him, Zimmerman said.

So Zimmerman made a U-turn and Apperson followed him, then sped up and moved along his passenger side.

He testified that Apperson yelled at him, "Do you remember me, you fat mother (expletive)?"

Zimmerman said he said something to Apperson then looked over and he saw a gun pointed at him

"As soon as I looked over I saw the barrel of the gun, I saw Mr. Apperson, I heard the shot," he said. "It was within seconds at the most."

Flying glass hit Zimmerman, who was not hit by the bullet.

Zimmerman said the two also had a road rage incident in September when Apperson drove up next to him and pointed to his truck. Zimmerman was aware of a rear tire that was leaking air.

"Thank you, I already know," Zimmerman testified that he replied.

"'You already know you're wrong for killing that little black boy?' " Apperson said, according to Zimmerman. He eventually lost Apperson after the two stopped at a gas station and Zimmerman drove off, he said.

Zimmerman became a public figure in 2012 when he fatally shot teenager Trayvon Martin. He was acquitted of charges in 2013.

Apperson's next court date is October 21.
