At this point, we are all glued to out screens, waiting on the verdict of the George Zimmerman trial.  If convicted, Zimmerman could be sentenced to life in prison for second-degree murder and up to 30 years for manslaughter. It’s been three weeks and many of us just want #JusticeForTrayvon. But there are a few ignorant business owners who are using this tragic case for their monetary gain.

Zimmerman’s home gym, Kokopelli’s Gym in Longwood, Florida is attempting to capitalize on Zimmerman’s physicality? Clearly, the previous statement is dripping in sarcasm because George seems to have gained a solid 70 pounds since last year. But his gym is claiming to have information on the type of training that Zimmerman has received.

So let me get this straight. This gym is offering up training sessions that helped a self-proclaimed neighborhood watch captain brutally shoot an unarmed teen? Not only that, but Zimmerman is reported to have been training at the gym in Mixed Martial Arts just a few days before fatally shooting Trayvon.

The gym owner, Adam Pollock testified earlier during the trial and called Zimmerman “grossly obese” and a novice at martial arts. But now he’s promoting a Zimmerman training package?

Something smells like a publicity stunt and it’s that form Pollock’s placed on his gym’s site! Of course the form has been taken down, but you have to ask yourself–why in the world was it even put up in the first place?!
