Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman-inspired Halloween Costumes Cause Outrage

The image was reportedly uploaded by Caitlin Cimeno from Martha’s Vineyard who captioned the photo: “Happy Halloween from Zimmerman and Trayvon,” followed by a smiley face emoticon.

Cimeno is pictured in the photo, posing in the middle between Greg Cimeno, 22, who dressed as Zimmerman, and William Filene, 25, who posed as Martin.

In the photo, Greg Cimeno, of Cape Coral, Fl., points his hand like a gun and directs it at Filene’s head.

Meanwhile, Filene, who is white, painted his face black and is seen wearing a gray hoodie, which is marked by a single gunshot wound in the chest and surrounded by fake blood.

According to  The Smoking Gun, Filene has an arrest record for loitering/prowling and failing to register an automobile. He was reportedly last arrested in June for felony auto theft, and was subsequently sentenced to 18 months on probation.

As for the woman in the middle, while her Instagram account remains private, her profile states “Stand For What a [sic] You Believe In And Make Sure You Stand Your Ground.”

The photo drew attention immediately, causing outrage over the indecent photo.

Whoever thinks it’s funny to make a mockery of Trayvon Martin’s death as a Halloween costume is truly ignorant.
