According to The New York Daily News:
Only a few handfuls of people showed up Saturday to meet a Florida gun show’s special guest of dishonor — George Zimmerman.
Over the course of six hours, fewer than 20 people at the New Orlando Gun Show asked for a free autograph or photo with Trayvon Martin’s reclusive killer, who was hanging out in a rear office of The Arms Room gun store in Orlando.
A sign directs people to the Zimmerman meet-and-greet, where fewer than 20 people asked for an autograph or photo over the course of six hours.
One couple who met the former neighborhood watchman and wanna-be cop, who gave their names as Melissa and Matt, said they were the only people waiting in line to meet him.

“He seemed nervous and actually a little scared to be there. He also appeared emotional, like he was really thankful and touched that people would come out to see him,” said Melissa.
“It was pretty weird to meet him in person — and wow, he has gained a lot of weight!”
Zimmerman has been doing everything that he can think of to build on the infamy that he gained from killing Trayvon Martin. Public outrage forced the cancelation of the celebrity boxing match that Zimmerman was scheduled to participate in. Almost no one showed up at his autograph signing. The message being sent is clear. Society is not going to let George Zimmerman build a career out of being famous for killing an unarmed teenager.
Most people if they were involved in an incident where they took the life of another human being would have the decency to express remorse. Most people would keep a low profile. Only the most sociopathic of individuals would look to take advantage of their notoriety. George Zimmerman is a killer without a conscience. He isn’t content with beating a murder charge.
Zimmerman expects to be treated like a hero. He is desperately trying to cash in on the innocent life that he took. The good news is that America isn’t going to give George Zimmerman the wealth and fame that he so desperately craves.
George Zimmerman wants to be praised and worshipped so badly that he was supposed to be a paying vendor at the gun show. He was going to give away autographs because according to the show’s organizer, he wanted to do an event with less negativity around him.
What a fitting blow to this killer’s ego that so few people want his autograph.
Zimmerman is not a hero, or a victim, he is a cold blooded killer who deserves every failure that comes his way.
