Killer allegedly retweets victim’s dead body

Though the tweet has since been pulled down, but the damage was already done. George Zimmerman, the white man who shot and killed a black teenager, Trayvon Martin, two years ago and was later acquitted, seems to be gloating over the murder.

He allegedly tweeted the photo showing Trayvon’s dead body lying in the grass.

According to Raw Story, the heartless tweet was removed later but not before it was screen-grabbed:

The tweet was reportedly in response to one on Friday by a fan on Twitter who called him a “one man army”.

Twitter user @SeriousSlav tweeted out the photo, writing, “@TheRealGeorgeZ Z-Man is a one man army”

Last month, the acquitted killer of Trayvon Martin got into a Twitter fight with someone who threatened to slap him by referencing the death of Martin and writing: “We all know how it ended for the last moron that hit me. Give it a whirl cupcake.”

Since being acquitted by a jury in the slaying of Martin in 2012, Zimmerman’s life has been a series of run-ins with the police and altercations with his ex-wife and girlfriends who have accused him of assaulting them.

Zimmerman’s profile has been reduced lately to trolling people on Twitter and attempting to sell his artwork online.
