Joe Burbank/AP Get your news from a source that’s not owned and controlled by oligarchs. Sign up for the free _Mother Jones Daily_. Over the weekend, George Zimmerman retweeted an image of

Trayvon Martin’s dead body. The image was first tweeted to him by a fan who wrote, “Z-Man is a one man army.” After the tweet was deleted, apparently by Twitter, Zimmerman posted a tweet

directing media inquiries to the phone number of a car audio shop. When I called it, a disgruntled man said it was not affiliated with Zimmerman. I asked what he meant, and he said, “It’s

pretty cut and dry, dude. Do you understand English?” Then he hung up. The number, it turns out, belongs to a man Zimmerman has been waging a social media campaign against. Twitter would not

comment on why they took down the photo, but the company directed me to its policy, which states that users “may not publish or post threats of violence against others or promote violence

against others.” Previously, Zimmerman’s tweets have referred to black people as primates and “slime.” > Good day to you, Ape. Dat mean u blocked cuz. > https://t.co/lef6YH4SPG >

political correctness that is plaguing this nation.” > They thought, I wouldn’t. They said, I couldn’t. They told me I > shouldn’t. So, I did. http://t.co/PkgvfFCRZO >
