Zimmerman retweeted the photo on Friday, but it’s no longer on his profile page, as it has since disappeared. It’s not known whether Twitter decided to remove the image or if Zimmerman or the original poster deleted it.
People were not pleased when they noticed the image. Twitter users started to hurl abuse at Zimmerman. One person branded him as a miserable excuse for a human. One user said:
You’re a disgusting human being. I know I shouldn’t ever say that, but look at you. All proud for killing a kid.
Apparently a fan of Zimmerman Tweeted out a photo of Martin’s body, and referred to Zimmerman as a one man army. Zimmerman took notice and that’s when he retweeted the photo.
Ever since the account was opened up, a user claiming to be Zimmerman confirmed the authenticity of the account. However, since then, Zimmerman has used the account to troll people.
Some people have actually wondered if Zimmerman uses the account or if it is his real account because he has freely thrown around racial slurs. He has referred to black people as apes and slime. He also called black people cowards.
