Douchebag of the Forever award: Florida Men Dressed Up As George Zimmerman And Trayvon Martin

[trumad]

A pair of Florida men decided to celebrate Halloween this year by dressing up as George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin, complete with blackface and blood-stained hoodie.

The image of the duo (click to enlarge) was uploaded Friday to the Facebook page of Caitlin Cimeno, a Martha’s Vineyard native who captioned the photo “Happy Halloween from Zimmerman & trayvon.” Cimeno, flanked in the photo by the two men, followed those words with a smiley face emoticon.

Greg Cimeno, 22, portrayed Zimmerman, complete with a “Neighborhood Watch” t-shirt. Cimeno lives in Cape Coral, Florida, where he appears to work for a carpentry firm.

William Filene, 25, dressed up as Martin, covering his face in black paint and donning a gray sweatshirt with a single bullet hole surrounded by fake blood. Filene, who also lives in Cape Coral, was arrested in June for felony auto theft. His rap sheet also included collars for loitering/prowling and failing to register an automobile.

1. It's offensive on several different levels...

What rotten human beings...

[theHandpuppet]

2. Appalling

As are some of the comments to the photo.

[Hoyt]

3. I guess we can't say whataya expect from Florida.

4. Don't be upset. Gun culture is normalizing gun outrages.

Here's an idea for next year:

Stitch onto a body suit, 20 Cabbage Patch dolls with bloody holes in their heads.

Voila! You're Sandy Hook themed.

5. Beyond shocking. This is going to be on my mind for a while. I feel so bad for Trayvon's folks.

[gollygee]

17. +1

I can't even imagine how much pain upon pain upon pain they've had to deal with. A child was killed and people turn it into a joke.

[marble falls]

24. I only ever had one worry- I would lose a child. I just can't imagine how they must feel...

on another site I go, there's great amusement over this, and it infuriates me.

[marmar]

6. The comments in the link -- good grief.

You constantly have to remind yourself that it's idiots who troll the internet to spew such garbage, but jeez.

[Hoyt]

8. No joke. I stumbled upon a facebook site where they were saying "Traygone got what he deserved."

I really get sick reading some of the callous stuff, mostly from gun cultists who arm up largely out of bigotry and hatred.

10. Wow! I can'y believe someone would go that far!!!

makes me sick!

[Initech]

11. OK I think it's safe to say Bill Maher no longer holds the World's Most Tasteless Costume title.

[trumad]

12. What was his costume?

[Capt. Obvious]

13. Crocodile Dundee

[aikoaiko]

15. I thought is was Steve Irwin w/stingray barb.

[PeteSelman]

14. Ah, that's funny.

And he stole the idea from South Park.

It's not even close to the level of offensive that the two jagoffs in the OP reached.

[Jenoch]

19. I wonder how funny it is to Irwin's widow and children?

[Capt. Obvious]

21. They were at the same party

I haven't heard if they shared their thoughts while they were both waiting to bob for apples.

[PeteSelman]

23. Comedy is funny like that.

If you start worrying about who is going to be offended no one would joke about anything.

[joeglow3]

16. Welcome to Halloween

This surprise you? EVERY year people get offended by Halloween costumes whose sole purpose is to take events of the last year and offend people.

[Capt. Obvious]

20. Like this sickening costume from 2003

26. Never, ever understood why he got so much blame

and the Cubs players faced no culpability whatsoever for pissing away a winnable series...

[trumad]

22. No ...welcome to Douchebag central

Fuck those two POS.

[Rex]

18. Wow, just when I think I've seen the worst of humanity

somebody on the Internet finds a new champion(s)!

That is so pathetic that I am at a loss for words.

[Scurrilous]

25. K & R
