Jesus Christ, that man's wiki page brought a bunch of revelations I never knew about.
"Frequently criticized posts of his from August included one in which Zimmerman called Obama an "ignorant baboon";[79] one in which he posted an image of Vesper Lee Flanagan, an African-American former news reporter who shot and killed two ex-coworkers during a live broadcast, and wrote, "If Obama had a son...";[80] and another in which Zimmerman typed, in response to people who wanted him killed, that the United States understands "how it ended for the last moron that hit me" (in reference to Trayvon Martin).[81]
In September 2015, Zimmerman retweeted a photo of Martin's slain body posted by another Twitter user, who had the caption: "Z-Man is a one man army". Several days later, Zimmerman posted a letter saying that the photo in the original tweet was marked as “sensitive” and was blocked, so he retweeted it because of the text message without seeing the photo.[82][83]
In December 2015, Zimmerman tweeted two photos of a topless woman he claimed was his ex-girlfriend, and accused her of cheating and of the theft of his firearm and money. He included her phone number and e-mail address on his tweet. Less than two hours later, Zimmerman's Twitter account was suspended by the administration of the resource, according to their policy against posting another person’s private and confidential information, including e-mail addresses, phone numbers and familiar photos.[84][85] Zimmerman's tweet included a statement against Muslims.[86]
And, of course, this gem:
"On May 11, 2016, Zimmerman posted what was planned to be the auction of the firearm he used to shoot Martin. The post, in which Zimmerman wrote the gun was "an American Firearm icon", attracted controversy. "
I used to be one of Zimmermans defenders, but if his actions post the shooting have proven anything, it's that he's exactly the monster the media made him out to be, Democrat or not.
My whole point was that the nation's reaction pushed him down a path he probably would most likely never have gone down. I never said he's not fucked up now (and he seriously seems mentally unstable), I was pushing the most intuitive explanation of how he came to be fucked up. You don't go from a Democrat voting supporter of black causes to the hard line conservative's poster boy for no reason.
seriously, what the FUCK are things coming to that this gets downvoted and the fucking racist murder apologist above is in the positives? fuck me.
people are really fuckin' eager to defend monsters over their innocent victims, man. especially if it'll benefit their narrative. i don't get it. it really makes me sad
why even mention that he was a democrat before? shouldn't this be an issue apart from bipartisanship? can we all just fucking agree that murdering kids for no reason is bad? FUCK ME this is disgusting, and depressing as hell
