The owner of a Central Florida gun shop that recently declared itself a “Muslim-free zone” announced that he is teaming up with another Floridian, George Zimmerman, to raise funds for both of their legal bills by selling prints of Zimmerman’s painting of a Confederate flag.
In a newly posted 10-minute “mini-documentary” about the burgeoning friendship between Zimmerman and Florida Gun Supply owner Andy Hallinan, the pair discussed how they believe “the media twists the truth” about them and argued that the Confederate flag must be defended by Americans against a “cultural cleansing” campaign waged by the media and the political elite.
Then, the pair announced that they are selling a series of prints of Zimmerman’s Confederate flag painting, which includes the inscription, “The 2nd protects our 1st.” Zimmerman described the inscription as a “double entendre.”
“I was painting the American flag when I heard of you getting sued by CAIR (the Council on American-Islamic Relations), and I decided that I would do for you what the American people did for me,” Zimmerman told Hallinan, in reference to his own fundraising campaign for a legal defense fund. In 2013, Zimmerman was acquitted of second-degree murder charges for the shooting death of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin.
The prints are going for about $50 each, and Zimmerman and Hallinan have promised to give the original painting away to one of the people who purchase a print. Most of the proceeds will be split between Zimmerman and Hallinan to use for legal bills and living expenses; an unspecified portion will go to the Boys and Girls Club.

I need to buy me one or two of those
This guy has had his 15 minutes of fame and I’m happy he got off. Most in his position would go off into a quiet retreat trying to stay out of the lime light however he chooses to force himself to the forefront. Maybe it’s to smack the media around, hell I don’t know. I just feel creepy when I hear his name mentioned any more.
What can go wrong with this???
I ordered one!
get over it. he did nothing wrong. you’re just letting the media tell you how to feel.
I agree with you. If this guy had a brain he would move somewhere to a quiet little town, get a job, and try to be normal and live a happy quiet life. But, he has no clue what normal is. His brain is broken.
Sorry. you feel creepy....
I'm not going to hide...I did the right thing..and I got @#$^$ over.
why is there some other set of rules for someone that almost got murdered by a thug, only for doing his job???
How many copies has the Washington Post bought?
This guy has a knack for getting in difficult predicaments.... are you denying that?
I completely deny it. Other than not picking decent women, which includes his low down wife, he’s done nothing wrong.
The guy that shot at him unprovoked is a mental case...do you deny that? do you blame that on George? If a mental case went after you, would you take the blame??
Tell me specifically what he’s done wrong?
Sounds to me like trying to stick it to a peecee crowd that tried to stick it to him.
The Trump phenomenon is having repercussions, IMHO.
And somewhere between those two events he got shot at, and made a really, really bad choice on picking a possible mate.
The guy's brain is broken. Plain and simple.
The media went to considerable effort and expense to get you to feel that way.
Now, imagine. You're in your neighborhood. You see someone poking around you are pretty sure doesn't belong there. You check it out, but the police dispatch you are talking with says to return to you vehicle. The guy you were checking out has circled around and you are suddenly flat on your back on the sidewalk with this guy straddling you. Your nose is broken, you're gagging on your own blood in a sensation not unlike being waterboarded, and he's bouncing your head off the sidewalk saying he's going to kill you. You reach for your legally carried gun, and in the struggle over control of your pistol you shoot the guy, once.
You were attacked. you had reason to fear for your life. You had the means to defend yourself, and there is little doubt that had your attacker seized that weapon he would have killed you.
Now, for the real criminals in all this, look at how the media pixeled out the injuries to the back of Zimmerman's head, how they ignored his facial trauma, how they posted pictures of a little kid, and not the thuggish gang-banger type he had become and posted on Facebook.
Like Fergusson, the media ignored or even obscured fact to push their narrative, and by doing so, kept themselves writing stories for quite a while. They sold a lot of soap and made a lot of racists feel justified (especially black ones). Later, in the case of Fergusson (or even Baltimore) the media agitated the crowd without getting the facts and got businesses burned, people hurt and killed, and wrecked countless lives with their lies and distortions.
FRiend, know what is right, and never be ashamed of it nor the people who have been maligned. That's the first step in Alinsky's tactics, to isolate the target. To do that, they have to get people to shun those who do not deserve it.
The dudes brain is broken. The thug beating his @$$ must have damaged him... assuming it wasn't broken to begin with.
People are sick of the PC crap.
Sick of finding out....politician's are lying, and the MSM is lying..
