George Zimmerman tries to cash in on Confederate flag debate

George Zimmerman, who has had repeated brushes with the law since he was acquitted in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, has a new weapon of choice: a paintbrush.

The neighborhood watchman, who became a household name after the shooting sparked racial riots, unveiled his artwork on Monday. No stranger to controversy, Zimmerman decided to paint a symbol that has been in the news lately: the Confederate flag.

The painting, which has been signed and numbered by Zimmerman, shows the flag with the word “The 2nd Protects Our 1st,” in reference to the first and second amendments in the U.S. constitution.

Zimmerman dedicated his latest artwork to the Florida Gun Supply owner Andy Hillinan, who banned Muslims from his shooting range last month.

Give the guy a break, he has to make a living some how, and I don't understand if others think there is a problem here.

If he is trying to cash in on this , more power to him , I hope he makes millions . He was the first of a long list to be crucified by the blacks. He won't be the last , however , he has seemed to bounce back often and I admire his stamina .

I like it, George. For some reason the "like" box will not work when checked on this article. Maybe my pc?

I wish this Roach would go somewhere and just die like an ole, tired and miserable dog. I'm tied of the Kardashians, Beyonce and Zimmerman.
