Man, George Zimmerman don’t give a damn about making new friends. He just announced that he would be auctioning off the gun that killed Trayvon Martin against his will – because we all know that guns kill people, right?
UPDATE BELOW!
Here’s his announcement about it:
Prospective bidders, I am honored and humbled to announce the sale of an American Firearm Icon. 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. The gun is a Kel-Tec PF-9 9mm. It has recently been returned to me by the Department of Justice. The pistol currently has the case number written on it in silver permanent marker. Many have expressed interest in owning and displaying the firearm including The Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C.
This is a piece of American History. It has been featured in several publications and in current University text books. Offers to purchase the Firearm have been received; however, the offers were to use the gun in a fashion I did not feel comfortable with. The firearm is fully functional as the attempts by the Department of Justice on behalf of B. Hussein Obama to render the firearm inoperable were thwarted by my phenomenal Defense Attorney.
I recognize the purchaser’s ownership and right to do with the firearm as they wish. The purchaser is guaranteed validity and authenticity of the firearm. On this day, 5/11/2016 exactly one year after the shooting attempt to end my life by BLM sympathizer Matthew Apperson I am proud to announce that a portion of the proceeds will be used to: fight BLM violence against Law Enforcement officers, ensure the demise of Angela Correy’s persecution career and Hillary Clinton’s anti-firearm rhetoric. Now is your opportunity to own a piece of American History. Good Luck.
Your friend, George M. Zimmerman ~Si Vis Pacem Para Bellum~
I added parenthesis breaks to make it easier to read. If I remember correctly, the Latin at the end translates to, “if you want peace, you must prepare for war.”
Zimmerman has had a few run-ins with the law since being exonerated in the case that began the “Black Lives Matter” movement. He’s also been the target of innumerable death threats on social media. I gotta say this is pretty ballsy of him, although it may not be the brightest move. What do you think? Is he just micturating on a hornet’s nest?
UPDATE:
According to NBC News, the gun listing has been taken DOWN:
A listing to sell the gun used to kill Florida teenager Trayvon Martin no longer appeared online Thursday morning — just as the auction to buy it was set to begin.
…But at 11 a.m. ET, a link to the gun’s auction page showed a notification instead that the item is no longer in the system.
The firearm listed was a 9 mm Kel-Tec PF-9 pistol, and bidding was to start at $5,000.
Well. That’s weird.
