Source: NY Daily News
George Zimmerman was punched in the face at a Florida bar after bragging about killing Trayvon Martin, police said.
The former neighborhood watchman who fatally shot the unarmed teen in 2012 said he was clocked during a dustup at the Gators Riverside restaurant in Sanford around 5:00 p.m. Sunday, according to a police report obtained by the Daily News.
During the conversation, Zimmerman introduced himself as the guy who killed Trayvon Martin and pulled out his identification card to brag, one witness told police officers.

(34,136 posts)He has no accomplishments to brag about, no people around him that admire him for anything else. And some gun nut idiots do admire him for that one horrible incident so he expects others will.
The murder of Trayvon Martin will be the only thing that will ever be associated with his name - unless he commits another murder. I can only hope that if that happens he will be convicted.

(160,542 posts)wanting to buy him beers and have him tell them stories about how tough he thinks he is, against unarmed teenagers.
I have a feeling he may have been a celebrity among haters. Remember some of them sent him money for his legal fees. Maybe he gets them to finance his nights on the town anywhere in the South.
Pathetic loser. Will do anything to get attention for his sorry ass.

(64,408 posts)The article, enjoying the clickbait I'm sure, doesn't address if the person who hit Z-douche did so because of "bragging" or for mistaken identity (from the article, "you n-lover" .
I know that short-on-facts, long-on-emotion word based titles work well here, but what actually happened?

(22,897 posts)Straight from the article:
=snip=
(GZ) complimented a mans Confederate flag tattoo and then started talking about Martin.
Youre bragging about that? a man said as he approached the group.
Zimmerman told the Orlando Sentinel Thursday that his drunken assailant, identified in the police report as Eddie, thought he was Matthew Apperson, the man accused of shooting at Zimmerman during a road-rage confrontation last year.
You better get the f--- out of here you n----r lover, you aint welcome here, the man told Zimmerman before punching him and breaking his glasses.
Why would "Eddie" say that racist stuff to GZ? Am I missing something. At first I thought "way to go!" when I heard GZ was punched for bragging, now I'm not so sure.

(9,350 posts)George Zimmerman is a disturbed man. Who else would introduce himself as the person who killed another person. It is sad that it seems Zimmerman was punched in the face because the person who punched him thought he was Matthew Apperson, the guy who shot at Zimmerman last year.
