‘Racist McShootFace’ drives bids for George Zimmerman gun to $65M

By Associated Press May 13, 2016 | 11:43am

MIAMI — Bidding in an online auction for the pistol former neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman used to kill Trayvon Martin appeared to have been hijacked by fake accounts posting astronomically high bids.

At one point early Friday, the bidding surpassed $65 million with the leading bidder using the screen name “Racist McShootFace.” The site later showed that account had been deleted.


Other screen names of bidders on the site included “Donald Trump,” ”shaniqua bonifa” and “Tamir Rice,” the name of a black 12-year-old who was shot and killed by Cleveland police in 2014 while playing with a pellet gun.

The website for United Gun Group began hosting the auction Thursday after another website, GunBroker.com, took down the auction, saying it wanted “no part in the listing on our website or in any of the publicity it is receiving.”

Hours later, United Gun Group tweeted that it would post Zimmerman’s ad. The new link was posted, along with a statement from Zimmerman. The site calls itself a “social market place for the firearms community.”

Bidding on the 9mm Kel-Tec PF-9 pistol began at $5,000.

Critics called the auction an insensitive move to profit from the slaying.

Zimmerman had told Orlando, Florida, TV station WOFL that the pistol was returned to him by the US Justice Department, which took it after he was acquitted in Martin’s 2012 shooting death.

Zimmerman’s listing said a portion of the proceeds would go toward fighting what Zimmerman calls violence by the Black Lives Matter movement against law enforcement officers, combating anti-gun rhetoric of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and ending the career of state attorney Angela Corey, who led Zimmerman’s prosecution.


The listing ended with a Latin phrase that translates as “If you want peace, prepare for war.”

Zimmerman, now 32, has said he was defending himself when he killed Martin, an unarmed black 17-year-old, in a gated community near Orlando. Martin, who lived in Miami with his mother, was visiting his father at the time.

Zimmerman, who identifies as Hispanic, was acquitted in Martin’s February 2012 shooting death. The case sparked protests and a national debate about race relations. The Justice Department later decided not to prosecute Zimmerman on civil rights charges.

Lucy McBath, the mother of another black teenager shot by a white man during an argument at a Jacksonville convenience store in 2012, said the auction reflected a “deplorable lack of value for human life.”

“I am deeply disappointed that the man who killed Trayvon Martin is trying to sell the very gun he used to cut that precious life short to raise money,” McBath said in a written statement.


The slaying of her son, 17-year-old Jordan Davis, by Michael Dunn drew parallels at the time to the Zimmerman-Martin case. Dunn told police he had felt threatened by Davis. Unlike Zimmerman, Dunn was convicted of murder.

Since Zimmerman was acquitted, he has been charged with assault based on complaints from two girlfriends. Both women later refused to press charges and Zimmerman wasn’t prosecuted. His estranged wife, Shellie Zimmerman, also accused him of smashing her iPad during an argument days after she filed divorce papers. No charges were filed because of lack of evidence. They were divorced in January.

Orlando-based attorney Mark O’Mara has previously represented Zimmerman. A receptionist in O’Mara’s office said Thursday that he no longer represents Zimmerman and had no comment.

Martin’s parents declined to address Zimmerman’s actions in statements made through representatives.

Martin’s mother, Sybrina Fulton, said through an attorney that she would rather focus on her work with the Trayvon Martin Foundation than respond to “Zimmerman’s actions.”

Daryl Parks, whose firm represented the Martin family during the trial, is now chairman of Fulton’s foundation. He says Fulton is pushing for policies that protect youth and address gun violence.

Fulton also founded the Circle of Mothers conference, a three-day event to help mothers who have “lost children or family members” to gun violence. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will be keynote speaker at the event in Fort Lauderdale starting May 20.

George Zimmerman finds a new auction site to sell the gun that killed Trayvon Martin
Technically Incorrect: After his listing on Gunbroker.com was removed, the man who claimed self-defense finds another site to sell the gun he used in the shooting.

Technically Incorrect offers a slightly twisted take on the tech that's taken over our lives.

The first auction was over before it ever started. The second was on, then off, then on once again.

That means George Zimmerman may finally sell the gun he used to shoot and kill Trayvon Martin in 2012, not long after the government returned it to him.

Zimmerman's plans had been dashed, briefly as it turned out, when the auction site he had initially turned to abruptly dropped his listing. A gunshy Gunbroker.com minced no words: "We want no part in the listing on our website or in any of the publicity it is receiving."


This didn't deter Zimmerman -- who was acquitted of wrongdoing in the teen's death, in a case that inflamed racial tensions in the US -- from trying to cash in on the Kel-Tec PF-9 handgun.

He found another site, run by United Gun Group, to host the sale of a gun he describes in the listing as "an American Firearm Icon."

In a Twitter posting, United Gun Group says it's "a complete social network like Facebook." Indeed, the site told The Washington Post that it was created as a reaction to Facebook banning the sale of guns. The site was created in February and one of its first tweets read: "#Facebook doesn't want you? We do at http://UnitedGunGroup.com."

United Gun Group didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

Naturally, the Zimmerman listing has attracted some notoriety to the site. As bids rose above the minimum $5,000 level, some weighed in to apparently mock the whole affair.

Two bidders offered in the vicinity of $65 million, one of them paired with the screen name "Racist McShootFace." Both submissions have been deleted. Other bids were made in the name of Tamir Rice, the 12-year-old shot dead by police in Cleveland while holding a toy gun.

The highest bid at the moment stands at $485,000.


It might never have got past zero. The United Gun Group initially took down the listing, according to USA Today. However, it reinstated the listing Thursday night, together with a Twitter post that read: "FYI, United Gun Group is a free service, we are not being compensated for allowing members to utilize our system."

The site added that it doesn't post the items. Its members do.


In his United Gun Group listing, Zimmerman claims: "I am proud to announce that a portion of the proceeds will be used to: fight BLM [Black Lives Matter] violence against law enforcement officers, ensure the demise of Angela Correy's persecution career and Hillary Clinton's anti-firearm rhetoric."

Angela Corey is the Florida State Attorney who served as the special prosecutor in the Zimmerman case.


While some will insist that a man who claimed self-defense and was acquitted should be free to sell whatever items he owns, others might feel this sale oscillates between the macabre and the disgraceful.

There's also this, he can attempt to sell it, however, no one has to buy it!!

Who wants this gun, and what for?
**clearly GZ doesn't want it anymore**

Can you imagine if this gun ends up in the ghetto, and kills someone?

San Francisco Cops Said It Was Legal To Murder Black Man Because He Was An ‘Animal’

BY ESTHER YU-HSI LEE
CREDIT: ANTHONY HALL/ SHUTTERSTOCK


The San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) will investigate dozens of racist and homophobic text exchanges between a former SFPD sergeant convicted of corruption charges and four other police officers, the San Francisco Chronicle first reported.

The texts made public Friday included jokes about Kwanzaa, calling African Americans monkeys, calling for the lynching of all African Americans, and even one that said, “Its [sic] not against the law to put an animal down.”

The four officers have been on the force for at least a decade, with two having faced disciplinary action in the past. The revelation comes at a time when police practices around the country are under scrutiny for racial bias.

The text messages came to light after the Attorney General’s office filed a motion to release the texts to keep former SFPD Sgt. Ian Furminger in custody as a way “to show the officer’s character” and deny him bail, ABC News reported.

Furminger, a 20-year veteran, is currently seeking to appeal his conviction and a three-year prison sentence for charges stemming from “a scheme to steal money and property seized during searches and arrests in 2009,” a local CBS news affiliate reported.
Here is a selection of the text messages exchanged between October 2011 and June 2012, while Furminger was still on the police force:

In response to a text asking “Do you celebrate quanza [sic] at your school?” Furminger wrote: “Yeah we burn the cross on the field! Then we celebrate Whitemas.”

“The buffalo soldier was why the Indians Wouldnt [sic] shoot the n****** that found for the confederate They [sic] thought they were sacred buffalo and not human.”

In response to a text saying “N****** should be spayed,” Furminger wrote “I saw one an hour ago with 4 kids.”
In response to a text saying “All n****** must fucking hang,” Furminger wrote “Ask my 6 year old what he thinks about Obama.”
I was trying to be nice to you as everyone knows your [sic] gay. I love calling you a fag. Good enough?
You are a total homo! And your [sic] gay!

“I hate to tell you this but my wife friend [sic] is over with their kids and her husband is black! If [sic] is an Attorney but should I be worried?” Furminger’s friend, an SFPD officer, responded: “Get ur pocket gun. Keep it available in case the monkey returns to his roots. Its [sic] not against the law to put an animal down.”

Furminger responded, “Well said!” In response to a text from another SFPD officer regarding the promotion of a black officer to sergeant, Furminger wrote: “Fuckin n*****.”

Furminger also wrote that he was watching one particular black family “like a hawk,” that it was “worth every penny” to live in a neighborhood “away from the savages,” “White power,” and “Cross burning lowers blood pressure! I did the test myself!” His bail hearing is set for next week.


The four officers who exchanged virulently racist and homophobic text messages were identified by multiple sources with the San Francisco Chronicle as Michael Robison, Noel Schwab, Rain Daugherty and Michael Celis. Last month, three officers were reassigned to non-public-contact positions in the department, while one took personal leave.

San Francisco police Chief Greg Suhr said Saturday that while he couldn’t confirm the identities of the police officers, he would fire the individuals who sent the text messages.

African Americans make up just six percent of San Francisco’s population, but are seven times more likely to be arrested than whites, a California Department of Justice report found in 2012.

According to the Bay Citizen, “San Francisco officers currently receive about 42 hours of ‘impartial policing’ and ‘cultural competency’ training, in which officers learn about the differences between racism and racial profiling and the challenges facing low-income minority communities.

Every five years, officers attend state-mandated ‘advanced officer training,’ which includes about two hours on racial profiling.”

San Francisco police officers aren’t alone in sending and responding to racist electronic text exchanges. In a report released early March, the U.S. Department of Justice found systemic racial bias throughout the Ferguson Police Department and local court system in Missouri.

Ferguson was the site of a police shooting of the unarmed black teenager Michael Brown, an event that spurred nationwide protests over police brutality. The investigation found that a Ferguson officer mocked an African-American man as “hooked on phonics,” while another email contained jokes that are based on offensive stereotypes about Muslims.

You fuccn racist freak, you just said earlier that McShootFace needs to just go away.

Therefore Mr. McShootface proved that you are just racist, wannaBpolice, trying to spit on Trayvon grave today -------since you yourself once joined reddgirl & Affinity here, to claim Zimmerman shot Trayvon in self-defense.

Now you whine for Mr. McShootFace to go away altho he caused the auction to be cancelled by him strategically placing a (fake) astronomical bid----which all humans knew that no one would dare try to compete with.

Well you do not have a comprehension problem here, littler man, which is why you said Mr. McShootFace needs to go away and stop preventing Zimmerman from profiting off of the misery of Trayvon's mom.
