Yeah, I can imagine.  I'd have probably passed out.  But, back to reality - how much you want to bet that there is NO way he will do that.  He's just trying to get more money for his twisted little treasure.

@Noel7, thank you for those two links, very informative and interesting. I wonder what goes haywire in fetal development to create the psychopath. It is sad to me that we could be "born that way." Sad, too, that early childhood experiences can create the mind of the sociopath. I was once very close to one of those, scary.

Hi @MaggieMack  Smiley Happy

 

You're welcome!  It's true that sometimes some seriously abused children can develop behaviors that mimic the pattern of a psychopath, but it's not common.  In cases like that, it's difficult to say which came first, like the chicken or the egg.

 

Your run in with someone like that must have been very scary for you, and have included lot of turmoil trying to figure out what was going on.

That's what I was thinking, too.

I just copied this from the CNN website:

 

"Proceeds from the gun's sale were supposed to be used to "fight [Black Lives Matter] violence against law enforcement officers," according to the original post that later disappeared."

 

So, the proceeds were allegedly going to be used to fight AGAINST BLM.

@MickD, I believe you misheard what Zimmerman actually said.  The following is an excerpt from http://www.cbsnews.com/news/george-zimmerman-selling-trayvon-martin-pistol/

 

The auction listing also says a portion of the proceeds will go toward fighting against violence by the Black Lives Matter movement against law enforcement, combatting anti-gun rhetoric of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and ending the career of Angela Corey, who led the prosecution against him.

What is good for the goose today will also be good for the gander tomorrow.

Ah, well, sadly and tragically THAT makes more sense, knowing what we know about him from the things he has said ever since that first day when he was pursuing the young man he ended up killing.

The story about Zimmerman's gun was on our local news in Los Angeles on ABC yesterday.  I think the gun should have been destroyed.  It would take a "sicko" to want to buy it knowing that it had killed someone.  Disgusting.

Re: George Zimmerman

[ Edited ]

Well, I'm not a shrink, so I can only give my dimestore account of what I think GZ is about. He's a little man with a big need for recognition and power. Underneath, he feels inferior to others. Life has not turned out the way he expected and he has been less than successful in many endeavors. He thinks a gun makes him a man and brings him the respect he wants. Why else would he volunteer as a pseudo cop in a neighborhood watch situation. Because of his own inferior feelings, he naturally seeks to find others whom he considers more inferior to intimidate. And in this case, it seems to be African Americans and women. Eventually, he will end up inccarcerated as I don't see his behavior really changing. I'm guessing he is trying to sell this particular gun to some sicko who will give him big bucks for it. I doubt GZ has a high paying job. Please don't go after me for my analysis. I don't purport to be a psychologist or a psychiatrist. I have taught teens for 30 years, and I recognize budding George Zimmermans when I see them.

ABC National News just reported zero bids.

 

And confirms they money raised was to be used AGAINST BLM and Hillary.
