GZ auctioning gun used in killing of Trayvon Martin[W:106:124]

Martin, as you know, jumped out of the darkness and jumped on top of Zimmerman.

That is an ambush.

If Martin had gone home, like you suggest, this would never have happened.
If George Zimmerman had not engaged and instead listened to the police who had already told him not to, the incident wouldn't of happened at all, and everyone would've gone home just fine.
Unfortunately, that wasn't the case.

But we should probably stop talking about this before the mods get us.
 
I agree. He isn't anywhere near being a lee Harvey Oswald or a James Earl Ray. I think if Zimmerdick had been convicted of murder it might have increased the value of the weapon but the problem is Travon was not really all that important. This was not the killing of someone who actually mattered.
And Zimmerman wasn't even previously famous like OJ was. And he didn't have like a massive kill count or anything.

One jerk killing another asshole is hardly all that newsworthy and thus the value of the weapon is diminished

If I was going to pay some big bucks for some killer's memorabilia, I'd rather buy OJ's Glove.

If the glove don't fit-raise the price a bit?
 

uh how is that untrue-its my opinion as someone involved in law enforcement for years. But lets get back to the value of the gun. I say its not worth much additional sums
 
What a silly response.
Maybe you should have read the warnings before speaking about things you know nothing about.
Well I am a pretty silly individual. [emoji12]

I can't believe Zimmerman pulls **** like this, then constantly plays victim. I hope people have learned to stop sending him money. :doh
 
Re: George Zimmerman auctions gun...

I do not think there is a better example of being in bad taste.

Don't forget the time he got himself suspended from Twitter after he posted a photo of Trayvon's dead body...

I wish they could have at least found him guilty of being a douchebag.

I remember two years back Zimmerman tried to set up a celebrity boxing match with DMX.

I remember that too... and all the domestic violence calls to the PD... Zimmerman is a piece of trash.

I would say he definitely has some kind of mental health issue. He needs real help. Feeling sorry for himself, beating his girlfriends, etc. It's amazing his family ran to the media and did everything they could to defend him, but they can't keep his dumbass out of the media and get him some actual help. The entire family looks like trash IMO.
 
And wouldn't it have been great if Zimmerman could have read his mind.

Please tell me why Martin ambushed and attacked Zimmerman if he was doing nothing wrong.

Because a creepy guy was following him with a gun?

I wonder what came of that fight? It probably never happened. Zimmerman was just all talk and no game.
 
But lets get back to the value of the gun.
Yes let's do that.

I am sure that many others share your opinion while I am also sure that many others think differently and are willing to shell out much more than it's value to you.

Since such discussion is prohibited in this thread I'll start a new one and quote you so this may be addressed.

Addressing the Off-Topic Zimmerman comments.


Untrue. (since deleted.)
What a great refutation. *Applaud*
What a silly response.
Maybe you should have read the warnings before speaking about things you know nothing about. (since deleted)
Well I am pretty silly. How about you Billy? (since edited to; Well I am a pretty silly individual.)
Pointing out that what you said is untrue, is a statement of fact.
It is not going into a discussion to refute what you said. That is the difference.

But since you seem to think it was refutation, I will start a thread and actually refute your comment.
I will quote what you said so you can find it and participate if you so choose.

Re: George Zimmerman auctions gun...

More people going out playing cop and putting themselves in harm's way?
Any evidence of that happening? After what Zimmerman had to endure, in Florida with a robust "stand your ground" law, it seems just the converse is more likely. No one is compelled to act or intervene, and arguably fewer are doing it.
 
Re: GZ auctioning gun used in killing of Trayvon Martin

well lots of college kids wear Che t-shirts and he was responsible for far more deaths of innocents than that nut case manson. The good news is that Che got what he deserved,

but lots of notorious items are popular. I don't know what happened to the rifle LHO used to shoot President Kennedy, nor the revolver Jack Ruby used to kill LHO or the Derringer JWB killed President Lincoln with but if they were available, you could probably buy a new Mercedes for less than what one of those weapons would fetch
The way I see it, if Charles Manson can sell paintings from prison, I don't see why Zimmerman can't sell his gun. But I wouldn't buy it. I can get the same model of that gun at a much cheaper price than it will sell for on the internet. IMHO, whoever buys the gun will be some dickless wonder who will put it in a trophy case, and tell everybody "Hey look at me, I have the gun that killed Trayvon Martin".

That's the "historical value" of the gun, which ironically wouldn't have happened if the Martin case hadn't become such a cause celeb. The physical gun itself isn't worth much, it's the attached story that makes it more valuable to many people. Personally, I don't attach much added value to it, and almost certainly wouldn't go over $500 for it. Others put a higher value, and I'm sure one of them will eventually get it for several thousand. Unless they try to take it on tour for viewing, I suspect it will most likely sit in a safe, perhaps accruing in value if Martin's family successfully keeps up their dubious crusade.
 
The third attempt at an auction has ended. The last bid viewable on the public auction site was for
$138,900.
