    If I remember correctly Trayvon family members was willing to sell T-shirts and even got into legal disagreement among themselves over the rights to sell those t-shirts.

    So why should Zimmerman not get some of the funds he lost back due to Trayvon attacking him by selling the gun.

    This is trashy as hell. You had to kill someone in self defense. Don't brag about it. This qualifies.

    If I'm hearing you correctly: These people acted trashy as all hell so why shouldn't he do the same?

    While I think the verdict about him was correct, I do agree with you that this sale is sick.

    And yet he has the right to do it... The death threats not so much and even the Post decided to *update* the article by taking them down.

    And Trayvon Martin would be alive today if he had just decided to go home, instead of going to kick Zimmerman's ass.

    Can you please cite the Florida and/or federal law to give your ignorant statement a hint of credibility?

    What about putting up the life like toy gun that Tamir was waiving around "pretending" to shoot people with? Maybe that can go up for sale as a reminder to teach your kids not to point a gun at a cop.

    Tell that to the people on the flights that hit the world trade centers who "just sat there and minded their own business". Evil triumphs when good people sit back and do nothing. TM clearly had zero qualms about killing GZ when he was bashing his head on the ground.

    Nobody told Saint Trayvon to beat up the gay guy either.

    You mean you want to hate him so much you won't let the facts get in the way of that hate.

    The Smithsonian has issued a statement that George lied about their interest in buying the gun.

    Cement, he was bashing his head into the cement. Slamming someones head repeatedly against a hard surface is considered attempted murder in any state. Contrary to what you see in action movies the human body isn't that durable. Bruce Willis would have died 14 times making it through the Die Hard series.

    He'd probably do much better auctioning off his body parts and internal organs.

    I'd give him $50 for his pancreas.

    Fox News is reporting the auction has been halted.

    Why wouldn't they. While it is owned by the national archives the Smithsonian has displayed Oswald's Rifle and Booth's deringer on numerous occasions.

    I think the Smithsonian is lying. They probably did show interest but just dont want to say so publicly.

    Its a weapon used in a significantly important event. The Smithsonian likes to have those items or at least have access to them. The Smithsonian is lying their ass off if they said they were not interested. That is exactly the kind of thing they buy.

    "Don't brag about it" ?

    What kind of self-righteous BS is that ? He came under huge liberal polticial scrutiny and attacks that claimed, despite the facts, that it was anything but self-defense. Racked up some ungodly amount of legal bills PROVING it was self-defense !!!

    And now he is recovering funds any legal way he can because of the the way the liberals tried to TRASH him !!

    Oh the hypocrisy !!!

    To me he should sell that gun in private as no public auction site is going to take the heat for selling his gun.

    Love how he had been turn into white killer racist when he is a mixed race Latin who even had a history of defending a poor black man who was beaten up by the son of the police chief.

    Facts does not matter at all otherwise he would never have to had face a trial in the first place.

    Self-righteous bs? He's auctioning off a tool he used to kill someone legally. He had a perfect right to do so. Just as one has a perfect right to (*)(*)(*)(*) their 2nd cousin. Its still trashy to do either.

    I'm not a liberal smartguy. I'm also rabidly pro 2nd amendment (as in there is no lawful justification for taking guns from felons. Or voting rights actually. And self defense applies to property as well as person.). I still find this to be TRASHY behavior as in without class. I find martin's relations selling products bearing his moniker to ALSO be trashy. I find the media circus associated with this trial and other trials to be trashy likewise.

    What (*)(*)(*)(*)ing hypocrisy? All I see is a story about a trashy (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) who killed another trashy (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) whose family acted like trashy (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)s and now the first trashy (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) wants to further roll in the mud by making money off the weapon he used to self defense the 2nd trashy (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) to death.

    Lots of trash in that story.

    You can write that theory as much as you please. The facts in the court case. Not guilty by a mile, because of the vicious street thug brutally attacking the innocent neighborhood watchman serving his tour of duty. Much like the thug in England who attacked those soldiers. Trayvon was absolutely no different.

    People use Latino as if it exludes whites, which is interesting since there are millions of white latinos and some Latin-American countries are a majority white.

    What you have chosen to ignore to support your "trashy" assertion is the enormous suffering, financial and otherwise, that Zim endured at the hands of far more powerful folks, all the way up to Obama.

    He did not ask for this "trash". It was thrust upon him And you damn well know it. Have to be blind and stupid and liberal to not know it.
