George Zimmerman, the Florida man who was acquitted of second degree murder in the 2012 death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, has been accused of posting a photo of the dead teen’s body on social media. Zimmerman’s post-trial behavior, however, have given many people pause and suggest that he was perhaps guilty in starting the fight that led to Martin’s murder. Both the account for Zimmerman and the fan who initially tweeted out the image have remained active. Attached to the post was a picture of Martin’s lifeless body on the night he was killed by Zimmerman.

Zimmerman took to Twitter on September 25 to retweet one of his followers who referred to him as a “one man army”.
Something of an ironic comment coming from an actual murderer, but bizarrely, it was favorited and re-tweeted hundreds of times, because somehow, George Zimmerman still has admirers. While another user said, “You’re a disgusting human being”.
Mr Zimmerman’s retweet sparked outcry online.

Back in August, when someone online threatened to slap Zimmerman, he tweeted: “We all know how it ended for the last moron that hit me”. As of Monday morning, his most recent tweet is a picture of Obama in a hood, accompanied by the caption: “If I had a race baiting President, he would look like this. Give it a whirl cupcake”. And then he assaulted his ex-wife and another girlfriend in separate incidents.
