Cashill offers some good suggestions for what the Martin/Fulton book might cover, but of course it is a safe bet that NONE of it will.

I have seen the twitter sewer buzz about the painting being copied from a stock (copyrighted) photo.

It looks to me like it was... but so what?

Zimmerman Obsessed Fall Flat On Faces Again

Zimmerman obsessed Traybots decided that George Zimmerman stole a Copyrighted Work from a Flicker Feed in order to create his painting that is selling on Ebay for thousands of dollars.

They even went so far as to post on said Flicker users feed, with wild eyed claims of "Copyright Infringement" in an effort to turn the photographer onto their claims of "criminal" activity.

It's a damn shame they didn't look at Mr. Architekt2's full profile

There are literally thousands of American Flag photos of "similar" position. I find it hard to believe that George grabbed some random dude off of flicker to get a flag pic from. Regardless, the User Architekt2 has a Creative Commons license on his flicker profile. He MAY have a ©all rights reserved on his pics pages but the rights he reserves is relevent to the license he provided via the creative commons that state just what I posted. If George wanted to put it to bed, he could just give credit to Archtekt2 and be done with it.

I don't think it's a point worth labouring...

Who is to say WHICH image George copied? That same image (and many others) is already "copied" used in many places...

My favorite meme i'm seeing in the comment section of almost every media outlet running a story on the painting is an angry traybot claiming Sean Hannity is the high bidder

They are filled to the brim and beyond with typical prog ENVY. They of course love the notion of getting free stuff and money for "nothing"... but are filled with envy when it falls on other people (who they hate) and not them.
"Sean Hannity" as a rich GZ benefactor was IMPRINTED on them early in the case (he may have actually donated some money to George very early on).... now they imagine Hannity is always a source. I do believe that Hannity (and others at FOX news) are generous and do donate money to all sorts of people... Traybot Worriers are mean, and mean spirited

He better be careful that someone crazy doesn't win the bid, if he's going to deliver it in person.

The Trayvon Martin Case, Update 40: The Narrative Just Keeps Failing
16 Monday Dec 2013
Posted by Mike McDaniel in The Trayvon Martin Case

The Zimmerman saga seems never-ending. Because of the political/racial overlay forced on what was nothing more than a run-of-the-mill self-defense case, the trial and subsequent events have taken on something of a life of their own. I’ve no doubt we’ll be hearing about every stub of George Zimmerman’s toe into perpetuity. And so, somewhat reluctantly, I update you, gentle and long-suffering readers, on the latest lunacy.

But first, what to make of George Zimmerman post-trial? One might think that after being acquitted, he, like some people, would simply fade back into living a life without the threat of decades in prison hanging over his head. If so, one would reckon without The Narrative, which never dies or loses interest in publicizing every Zimmerman misstep, real or manufactured. What’s wrong with him? He gets stopped for traffic violations! He breaks up with his wife! She suggests he committed an act of domestic violence! He breaks up with his girlfriend who accuses him of pointing a shotgun at her, and it’s back to jail again, until…

Who among us, when stopped for a traffic violation, can expect that event to make national news, whose talking heads insinuate that this somehow reflects character flaws and/or culpability for murder or racism? Who among us can expect international news coverage for the breakup of our marriage and any spat associated with it? Who among us can expect a girlfriend to shop her “story” to news organizations, and failing that, accuse us of felonies, only to retract her story after we’ve had a lovely and edifying stay in the local jail?

Who among us, under the age of 30, would have the strength of character and the maturity to remain serene and untouched by a year of the most obscene vilification, followed by a trial that branded us as the embodiment of all of America’s racial ills, followed by living in a media fishbowl, exploited by those closest to us?

I’d really rather not live that particular life. You?

Sorry but I think that would be the dumbest thing he ever did! With all the lunatics out there that would give anything to put a bullet in him, he could end up walking into one hell of a trap.

Agree Froggie

If he was smart he would let his legal counsel handle the transaction especially since i can see that POS Eric Holder using some kind of "income tax" bullshit to go after george to satisfy the animals still screaming for zimmerman blood
