A Vietnamese War refugee turned Miami area Hipster artist named Huong unveiled a mural dedicated to Trayvon Martin in the Florida State Capitol. The mural depicts George Zimmerman as if he was scarface shooting off some semi-auto Uzi looking weapon.

ORLANDO, Fla. -An eye-grabbing mural showing a picture of a man shooting a likeness of Trayvon Martin was unveiled Friday at the state Capitol.

The message of the 100-foot mural, created by Miami artist Huong, is “We are all Trayvon Martin.”

The mural shows a man who looks similar to George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch leader who shot and killed Martin in February 2012 and was later acquitted in the teen’s death, shooting a person wearing a hoodie.  There’s a mirror in the mural where Martin’s face would be so visitors can see themselves as the teen.

This mural would be so funny if it wasn’t so sad. This reinforces the image of George Zimmerman as some crazy Scarface like killer just shooting Trayvon Martin for pleasure. It’s even more pathetic that this propaganda piece was drawn by a refugee from Communist Vietnam!

Update: This is what the Justice for Trayvon movement think George Zimmerman did.

This explains the painting.
