SMH: George Zimmerman Spotted Shopping For Shotgun

He’s still allowed to carry a gun? George Zimmerman Spotted Looking For Guns It’s a tragedy that Trayvon Martin never got justice, but to see the person who killed him still packing heat….it’s a slap in the face to his parents. According to TMZ George Zimmerman was on the hunt today — for a shotgun … TMZ has learned. Zimmerman went to Kel-Tec in Cocoa, Florida … a gun manufacturing company. We’re told he was asking questions about the legality of buying a shotgun — specifically, the Kel-Tec KSG. The gun in question is a tactical shotgun, often used for home defense. It holds 12 rounds of 12 gauge shells. And this is interesting … Kel-Tec manufactures the PF-9 gun — the pistol Zimmerman used to kill Trayvon Martin. We’re told the owner’s son took Zimmerman on a tour of the grounds, including the area where the firearms are assembled. The photo of Zimmerman and an employee was taken inside the assembly plant. It’s unclear if he actually bought the shotgun while he was there. Trayvon gets portrayed as a thug and Zimmerman gets to buy a gun and possibly shoot another unarmed black teenager. Wtf?

Fabolous’ Grieving Mixtape Features Three New Songs

‘This is just the music to help you get through them tough times,’ Fab says of There Is No Competition 2: The Grieving Music. By Shaheem Reid Fabolous Photo: MTV News The O.D.: A Mixtape Daily Exclusive We all know Funeral Fab is “Nyyyyyyyyccce!” But he’s also a nice guy. Earlier this year, Fabolous had homecoming ceremonies for all the contenders out there with the Gangsta Grillz The Funeral Service: There Is No Competition 2. Now that everyone is in the grave “Thriller” style, he’s not just going to leave them buried. He’s going to place tombstones on their lots. We caught up with Loso at Cemetery Monument Co. in the Bronx (that’s right by St. Raymond’s Cemetery, for those of you familiar with the BX) while he was tombstone shopping. Fab clarified what’s up with his new EP (due September 6). “I’m just here to make sure they’re buried respectfully,” Fab said. “That’s why we’re here, picking out tombstones for the competition. I felt it was the least I could do for being somewhat responsible for killing the competition. We’re here today, we’re going to bury them respectfully. We’re getting tombstones, some of them are expensive. Some of y’all don’t deserve expensive tombstones. We may cremate you. We’re going to figure out a way to work the competition in. There’s not even enough graveyard, but we’re going to figure this out. Fab’s EP features three new songs — “Lights Out,” “You Be Killin’ ‘Em” and “Body Count” — and a remix of “Body Bag” with Cam’ron and Vado, which were not on The Funeral Service. Lex Luger and Ryan Leslie are among the producers. “The EP was something Def Jam came to me about doing. The mixtape had a lot of success in the streets and online. They came to me with the opportunity of putting it out to more of the masses. I guess for certain people who didn’t pick it up, now to add something new to it. Add the videos, add a couple new songs and call it There Is No Competition 2: The Grieving Music [mixtape]. This is just the music to help you get through them tough times. Another sad day for the competition.” The track list for There Is No Competition 2: The Grieving Music mixtape, according to Def Jam. 1. “The Eulogy” (Intro) 2. “The Wake” 3. “I’m Raw” 4. “Body Ya” 5. “Body Count” 6. “Body Bag Remix” (featuring Cam’ron and Vado) 7. “You Be Killin’ ‘Em” 8. “Tonight” (featuring Red Cafe) 9. “Lights Out” 10. “Closing Prayer” (Outro) For other artists featured in Mixtape Daily, check out Mixtape Daily Headlines .

Gary Coleman Cremated; Anna Gray Pays Respects

Three weeks after Gary Coleman died, his wish to be cremated was granted, although the fate of his remains – and estate – is still very much up in the air. Entertainment Tonight confirmed the actor’s cremation, and that Coleman’s former girlfriend Anna Gray paid her last respects to the star earlier this week. Anna Gray , named in a 2005 will as the executor and beneficiary to Gary’s estate, left Memorial Mortuary in Murray, Utah, after a private viewing of his body. There will be no funeral service, per his request . If valid, the 2005 will supersedes a 1999 will already entered for probate by the actor’s former manager, Dion Mial, who implied there was foul play involved. R.I.P. Gary Coleman (1968-2010) . Mial is likely insinuating that Gary’s former wife Shannon Price had something to do with it, given the power grab she’s made for his estate since he died. But Anna Gray’s lawyer Randy Kester, who was also Coleman’s attorney during his divorce to Price, said the 2005 will may also override Price’s claims. If valid, it nullifies the handwritten codicil (amendment to a will) that gives all assets to Shannon Price, including a $315,000 home in Santaquin, Utah. While Gray and Price have conflicting wills, both documents agreed that Gary wished to be cremated, so the attorneys agreed to go ahead with that. What happens to his remains, and assets, is another story. More than likely, the battle for Coleman’s estate between Gray and Price is far from over.
