George Zimmerman, the man notorious for shooting Travyon Martin in a 2012 killing that was ruled to be in self-defense, went on Twitter over the past two days to blast a “racist” President Barack Obama following Wednesday’s murder of two reporters in Roanoke, Va.
Zimmerman first joined Twitter in December of 2013, and has generally been a quiet user, with about 1,350 total tweets. But following the killing of Alison Parker and Adam Ward in Virginia, which appears to have been partly racially motivated, Zimmerman unleashed a torrent of mockery and criticism against President Obama, referring to him as a racist and a “baboon:”
Pansy Fester lee Flanagan, too much of a daisy to deal w/racism. Murders 2 whites. Hate crime, 100%. Racist Obama says nothing condeming.

Zimmerman didn’t shy away at all from the topic of his own shooting of Trayvon Martin in 2012, instead gleefully responding to critics who attacked him over the matter:
We all know how it ended for the last moron that hit me. Give it a whirl cupcake. https://t.co/F0IlHiHLX6

When one user suggested that Zimmerman was trolling the Black Lives Matter movement, and that it wouldn’t “end well,” Zimmerman had a ready-made response.
For them… https://t.co/4sYD9snUeD
