White Teen Wears Blackface Trayvon Martin Halloween Costume [GRAPHIC ...


Once again, white people have decided that it would be great fun to revictimize slain teen Trayvon Martin, this time in the form of racist Halloween costumes, complete with Blackface and a matching George Zimmerman pretending to hold a gun.


SEE ALSO: Racist 21st Birthday Party Pictures Go Viral

Greg Cimeno posted a picture of himself dressed as George Zimmerman, with his friend, William Filene dressed in Blackface wearing a hoodie with a bloody bullet hole in the center of the chest.


George Zimmerman was found not guilty of murder after fatally shooting 17-year-old Trayvon Martin through the heart on February 26, 2012.


The girl in the disturbing images, Caitlin Cimeno, also posted the horrifically racist and insensitive picture and described it as "just for fun."



Her SOCIAL MEDIA profiles have since been made private.


Cimeno, who defended his costume as "hilarious" took to Facebook in anticipation on October 25, posting that he was making the "best Halloween costume of the year."



The images quickly went viral.

that Trayvon Martin "Halloween costume" just blew me

Notice the blackface Halloween costume is of a DEAD Trayvon Martin. Not a living breathing human being but dead like lynchings of the past.


- Adrienne Gravish (@AquafarE) October 27, 2013


I just saw a Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman Halloween costume. That is literally beyond disgusting. People make me so sick.


- khendallllll. (@pashh15) October 27, 2013


Dressing as Trayvon Martin being shot is not funny and not acceptable as a Halloween costume.


- Abbie NYC (@AbbieLicious07) October 27, 2013


Just some white people with a George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin Halloween costume. #Disgusted


- Muffy Crosswire (@MissEmmaJae) October 27, 2013


I can't believe that Trayvon Martin Halloween costume. How ignorant and disrespectful. How could a person even do that?! That's bothered me


- ♎ October 12. (@kyssmypearls) October 27, 2013


As previously reported, white teenagers also thought it would be "hilarious" to reenact Trayvon Martin lying dead with an Arizona Iced Tea and a pack of Skittles laying next to him. The terrible meme was a version of planking, and quickly gained popularity among sick White teens, who just like the teens above, had too much time and not enough character.


In the Red Corner: Housecore Horror Film Festival: The new kids on the block ...


There's a new beast on the Austin film-gathering scene. Heavy metal legend Phil Anselmo (Pantera, Down) and author/film critic Corey Mitchell unleash a monster with three days and nights of horror, grindhouse, true crime, and gruesome exploitation both fresh and arcane, all with a live metal soundtrack. Possessing the whole Emo's/Antone's complex and converting it into their own little hell on Earth, they've summoned the blackest souls of the genre, including Ruggero ( Cannibal Holocaust) and Jörg Buttgereit ( Nekromantik). From the cerebral to the spine-ripping, from classics like Maniac to world premieres - including Kyle Kuchta's examination of horror conventions, Fantasm - there's plenty of killing to be done around the farm. We've picked 10 must-see events below, but you can also check out our interviews (see sidebar) and our coverage of the music component of Housecore.


1) Birth of the Living Dead: George A. Romero's little indie horror reshaped the world, and its impact is caught, part in interviews and part in animation.(Friday, 9am, Grindhouse Tent)


2) The Profane Exhibit: A who's who of gore icons like Deodato and new bloods such as Nacho Vigalondo ( Timecrimes) gather in coven for this anthology flick of the malicious and powerful. (Friday 11:45pm, Antone's)


6) Goblin perform Suspiria: The ultimate Italian horror soundtrack band re-create the shrieking audio ceremony for Dario Argento's bloodcurdling psychedelic slayer. Check the Music blog Friday morning for an interview with keyboardist Maurizio Guarini. (Sunday, 10:40pm, Emo's)


8) Decibel Magazine's 100th Issue Show: The Movie: If there's not enough live metal for you, there's always this concert film for Decibel, the bible of extreme metal, featuring enough rumbling terror to see off a graboid. (Saturday, 11:45am, Grindhouse Tent)


9) Stranglehold: In the Shadow of the Boston Strangler: Documentarian Myles Jewell grew up with his grandfather Phil DiNatale's case files on the Boston Strangler around the house. Now he tries to finish the job and identify the murderer. (Saturday, 11:59am, Zombie Room)
