George Zimmerman Is Now A Security Guard In A Florida Gun Shop
George Zimmerman, the man who was acquitted for shooting and killing Trayvon Martin, has a new job.Â
George Zimmerman was cleared of all charges and found not guilty by a jury of his peers, despite being responsible for the shooting death of 17-year old Trayvon Martin. Â
And despite his previous encounters with law enforcement, including at least one post-trial incident involving a gun, Zimmerman has been hired, according to news reports, as a security guard at a Florida shop that sells guns, ammunition, and motorcycles.
“According to a DeLand police report, George Zimmerman has found work as a security guard at Pompano Pats in DeLand,” WFTV reports. “Pompano Pats is a locally-owned store on South Woodland Boulevard that sells firearms, ammunition and motorcycles. The report stated that the owner of the business asked Zimmerman to guard the store due to a recent burglary.”
Police told you to stay in the car & not follow, but you did it anyway & killed a kid. Job as a security guard? OK! http://t.co/fCHpaVdE0h
