It's clear Zimmerman wanted it to be higher. If he had to sell that gun, he's probably hurting for money.

I thought I saw some article that some rapper or performance artist bought it so he could destroy it on stage.

Whats he gonna do bring a hacksaw on stage?

Maybe a welder? Plasma torch?

Self-improvement isn't enough. People are not islands, self-sufficient. We need connections with others to achieve true flourishing. The very idea of self-improvement is meaningless without a social context

Tell me about your custom title.

some person spent like 15 bucks because he got pissed off. I said that trump will probably get pissed off yonger white guys because they are sick of being poo poo on by parts of the left(real or imagined) and will vote trump. some of them don't like well off hipsters telling them what to think. others are just bigoted assholes who unironicaly think /pol/ is the gospel truth. personaly i am not going to vote for some bigoted con-man just to give the finger to some well of "cultrual critics" and other hipsters.

Looks like George flim flammed the original auction winner and sold the gun for a cool $250,000 to a last minute bidder.

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-36354206

The original bidder is pissed that he's not getting the gun of thug killing +3 lol

quote:

He said the buyer was a woman who had wanted the gun as a birthday present for her son.
But Mr Zimmerman said he would not reveal the buyer's identity, adding: "The winning bidder will ultimately decide if they want their information to be maintained in confidentiality."

He got a last minute unofficial bid. Usually they just tell rhe auction winner the item was "damaged" or something and cancel the item, but i guess this is too high profile to do that

but at least that has history. this is just a gun by some small dicked wannabe punisher who shot some unarmed kid because he lost a fight he started. the only reason people bought this was because he lived their wank fantasy of shooting a black.

Speaking Monday to ABC Las Vegas affiliate KTNV-TV via Skype between puffs from a thick cigar, Zimmerman struck a pose of defiance, discussing the process of auctioning the gun and accusing Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton of pandering to the black community to get votes.

"I was tired of Hillary Clinton's anti-gun rhetoric," Zimmerman said of his rationale for auctioning off the pistol. "She has been stumping around for a false campaign for the Trayvon Martin Foundation. She lied, saying that I killed him when he was walking home in his daddy's neighborhood. Which if anyone watched more than seven minutes of the trial, they would know that is false."
