George Zimmerman sits for six hours at Florida gun show. Less than 20 people show up for autographs. So ends another fifteen minutes of undeserved fame.
George Zimmerman spent Saturday signing autographs and snapping photos with customers and fans at the New Orlando Gun Show.
Over the course of six hours, fewer than 20 people lined up to see Mr. Zimmerman, who was acquitted last year in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. He was stationed in a rear office of The Arms Room gun store, the New York Daily Newsreported.
The show was originally set to be held at the Majestic on John Young Parkway, but organizers said the venue canceled late Thursday after getting negative feedback about Mr. Zimmerman’s planned appearance, WESH reported.
“They told us they canceled for community pressure,” organizer Mike Piwowarski told the station. “They were getting phone calls and backlash, and didn’t want that kind of person there.”
Fox 35 asked Mr. Zimmerman if he felt his appearance at the gun show could be viewed as antagonistic.
“I don’t worry about people that say it’s antagonistic,” he said. “To be honest with you, like I said, the importance was to support the people that supported me.”
“I’m willing to talk to everyone and try and answer their concerns or questions, and [have] them realize there’s no need to be angry,” he said.
No reason to be angry? Cannot say I agree with that.
After all he did get away with the murder of an unarmed teenager.
Here is how one couple described their meeting with Zimmerman:
“He seemed nervous and actually a little scared to be there. He also appeared emotional, like he was really thankful and touched that people would come out to see him,” said Melissa.
“It was pretty weird to meet him in person — and wow, he has gained a lot of weight!”
The Washington Times also reported that Zimmerman claims to suffer from PTSD and is receiving mental health services pro-bono.
He also is in constant fear for his life and wears a bulletproof vest everywhere he goes.
Gee I guess getting away with murder is not all it's cracked up to be.
