George Zimmerman, now 31-years old, has teamed up with a Florida gun shop owner recently in the news for declaring his store a “Muslim free zone.”Â

Zimmerman also posted images of the man who shot and killed Virginia reporters Alison Parker and Adam Ward, along with an image of the Michael Brown, and used them to attack President Obama.Â

And Zimmerman also sent this disturbing message:
