Twittersphere Expresses Mixed Reactions to George Zimmerman Getting Shot At

George Zimmerman suffered significant injuries after getting shot by a motorist in Florida on Monday.

You will recall that Zimmerman shot dead an unarmed African-American teenager, Trayvon Martin, in 2012, and was acquitted on a murder charge.

Guardian UK reports that a bullet missed Zimmerman’s head and he was sprayed with glass from his vehicle’s windshield.

There have been mixed reactions about the incident on Twitter:

I hope that the person that inflicted the minor gunshot wound on #GeorgeZimmerman faces no charges. ? #sorrynotsorry

I have never wished death on another human but no tears will be lost if #GeorgeZimmerman checks early after being shot.

I don’t wish death on anybody. Not even a scumbag like #GeorgeZimmerman but karma will obviously not be ignored

With so many violence incidents happening with this guy, why is #GeorgeZimmerman never referred to as a “thug”?

Lots of black people on Twitter proving how nonviolent they are by wishing death on #GeorgeZimmerman. Maybe that’s why he was carrying?

#GeorgeZimmerman is a child murdering scumbag. If he was Black or Muslim he would be a DEAD “thug” or “terrorist” by now. #nosympathy

#GeorgeZimmerman seems to think everything can be solved with a gun. I wonder why the #NRA hasn’t made him their poster child? Oh right…

So disgusted at seeing Twitter filled with memes, jokes and giddiness over the shooting of #GeorgeZimmerman. Don’t stoop to his level.
