George Zimmerman selling art on Ebay
George Zimmerman is back in the headlines for his antics, this time for selling artwork with an ironic message. The former neighborhood watchman and teen killer is selling a painting on eBay this week that shows a blue American flag with a portion of the Pledge of Allegiance inscribed on it.
“One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all,” reads the painting.
The “art” had a starting bid of $50, and as of today, Dec. 17, 2013, the bidding has reached nearly $100,000; $99, 966.00 to be exact.
George Zimmerman’s brother, Robert, confirmed that the painting indeed belongs to the killer of Trayvon Martin.
“First hand painted artwork by me, George Zimmerman,” he captioned a picture of the painting.
“Everyone has been asking what I have been doing with myself. I found a creative, way to express myself, my emotions and the symbols that represent my experiences. My artwork allows me to reflect, providing a therapeutic outlet and allows me to remain indoors 🙂 I hope you enjoy owning this piece as much as I enjoyed creating it. Your friend, George Zimmerman,” he added.
A “fan” of Zimmerman has since sung his praises in eBay’s comment section and got a response from the gunslinger-turned-artist.
“Just wanted to tell you we all love you and stand behind you. You have so many people on your side I hope you know that!” wrote the out of touch supporter.
“Thank you so much for the words of kindness and support. I do know how many great Americans are still here, I run into at least 3-5 a day that go out of their way to tell me the same. Your Friend, GZ @therealGeorgeZ,” he responded.
