Sorry, ladies. George Zimmerman just got kicked off dating app

Valentine’s Day is closing in and George Zimmerman, a child killer who was acquitted for the murder of Trayvon Martin back in 2012 and most recently was fined for stalking a man in Seminole County, apparently needs a date. He’s not going to find one on Bumble. The popular dating app removed Zimmerman’s account Monday, primarily for the crime of being George Zimmerman. It’s the second time in a month Bumble has bounced Zimmerman.

"George Zimmerman was blocked and banned in December 2018 when we first discovered his profile and we have blocked and banned him again after we were informed by our users that he had created a new unverified profile,” reads a statement from a Bumble spokesperson. “We have thousands of moderators working tirelessly with our users to make Bumble the safest and most empowering social networking platform and this is another example of those efforts."

According the screenshots Orlando Weekly grabbed, Zimmerman’s sales pitch mentioned that his third grade teacher thought he was a class clown and he was her favorite student. “Let’s get coffee and cake pops I’m looking for a mature and fun woman that’s ready to be loved and respected the way she deserves and is able to reciprocate,” he wrote.

Like 99.997 percent of all date-app users, Zimmerman didn’t divulge everything that a potential paramour might find disconcerting. There was no mention of the Trayvon Martin trial or being $2.5 million in debt or the time he allegedly threw a wine bottle at an ex-girlfriend or the time he allegedly pulled a gun on another ex-girlfriend or the stalking arrest.

and never anything good. Karma may be slow, but it seems to be enveloping him like a dark suffocating cloud.

Even Hitler and the Night Stalker killer had girlfriends, for crying out loud.
