George Zimmerman reportedly received a small taste of vigilante justice on a recent beach trip in Miami. According to reports on (ever reliable news site) TMZ, Trayvon Martin’s killer was run off a beach when recognized by an angry crowd. Zimmerman, who had been in Miami to film a series of interviews and garner yet more undeserved platforms in the public eye, swiftly left the city following the incident. My hope is that the Miami mob set a precedent for how to treat Zimmerman henceforth.

Via TMZ:

Zimmerman taped an interview last Tuesday with Univision and Fusion, and then took his girlfriend, her kid and his brother to the beach. While they were catching some rays, people noticed him, started harassing him, and then someone shouted out George had a $10,000 bounty on his head.

We’re told it freaked him out and they all retreated to the hotel, but the crowd followed them.

Security swept their room to make sure no one tampered with their stuff and then stood guard throughout the day and night. We’re told Zimmerman did his CNN interview early the next morning and then beat it … literally fleeing Miami.

Update:

George Zimmerman says angry Florida mob chased him out of Miami

By David Ferguson

George Zimmerman’s recent press junket to Miami, FL was reportedly aborted after he received death threats from an angry mob on a public beach and was informed that there is a bounty on his head.

The Miami Sun-Sentinel reported on a TMZ article detailing Zimmerman’s visit to Miami last week for a spate of interviews with Univision and CNN.

Sources told TMZ that Zimmerman and his girlfriend checked into their hotel and went to the beach, where beach-goers allegedly threatened the trio and informed Zimmerman that there is a $10,000 bounty on his life.


Shaken, the group reportedly returned to their hotel and demanded that security perform a full sweep of their rooms. They then requested 24-hour protection until they left the city the next morning, once Zimmerman had taped his interview with CNN.

Zimmerman was acquitted of murder in July for the shooting death of teenager Trayvon Martin in 2012. Since then, the former neighborhood watch volunteer has had repeated brushes with the law in domestic squabbles and traffic violations.

He has claimed in recent interviews that he has no permanent address and that he is suffering from PTSD since the shooting, which left unarmed, 17-year-old Martin dead of a gunshot wound to the chest.

1. Good!

[yuiyoshida]

36. Why should he be treated as a Hero ...

He is not, in anyone's book.

[MynameisBlarney]

41. Unfortunately

there are some small minded people that do think he's a hero.

[yuiyoshida]

42. Small minded is right...

KKK members, White Supremacy groups, the SAME KIND of people who would wish me to get the hell out the USA and "GO BACK TO CHINA!" ....

[MynameisBlarney]

45. The same people

that would string me up for being a liberal.

[FarPoint]

2. I hope the haunting of George Z NEVER ENDS!

I wish such attention occurs daily.

[coldbeer]

4. I had to Google TMZ.

I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed and am often misled by
DU. TMZ, Trayvon Martin, Zimmerman. I discovered TMZ is real
and has been around since 2005!

I am glad to hear that Zimmerman is getting his due.

[FarPoint]

15. TMZ is more sensationalized gossip chatter....

Yet....they have their moments of good gotcha news

[leftyohiolib]

3. already posted http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024526796

[coldbeer]

10. I missed it, I try to catch all DU posts

Oh, I went to the Veterans Home for blood pressure and a blood test.
Nothing wrong with me but the VA keeps tabs on us old soldiers
here in Ohio. Sometimes something good comes out of being
drafted.

[leftyohiolib]

11. no worries - from one ohioan to another- glad theyre taking care of you

[onehandle]

5. Gun culturist's favorite son should not be allowed around decent people.

He is armed and he will shoot your child.

[catbyte]

6. Maybe he & Casey Anthony should hook up

[cosmicone]

7. Too bad no one felt threatened or feared for their life

because Zimmy was there ... I'd have cheered if they had stood their ground.

[adavid]

8. Is he still..

"painting" and selling Shutter-stock "art" as his own?

[EC]

21. He's being sued. n/t

[The Second Stone]

9. I hope he stays away from my community

I'd be in fear for my life. Is there some sort of website that keeps track of where this dangerous killer is, what car he drives and known associates? Kinda like an Amber Alert? People are in danger from this creep at all times and we have a right to know where he is so we can get off the streets.

[leftyohiolib]

12. wheresgeorgie.com or thezimmermanwatch.com

[12AngryBorneoWildmen]

19. Did you make those up? Neither work.

[leftyohiolib]

32. oh jeez im sorry i was throwing these out as possible websites names to keep track of

where he turns up

[JustAnotherGen]

13. I know we discussed it yesterday

But I'll say it again.

I.

Do.


Not.


Believe.


George.


HE is saying it is so - where in this day and age of cellphone selfies and photobombs is the video of this? He's lying.

[liberalmuse]

18. Me neither!

He is a liar and is likely trying to drum up some more sympathy money from his supporters.

[dawn frenzy adams]

30. INDEED!

I think he is lying as well!

[Dopers_Greed]

14. What for?!

Oh yeah...

He did murder a child and use that to become a celebrity.

[heaven05]

16. excellent

[Iliyah]

17. K & R!

Martin's ghost will haunt this MFer for life!

Z - please do not come to California.

[geomon666]

20. Damn, wish I had been there.

My crippled ass would've chased him too.

[EC]

22. Well, if there was no bounty

and it was all just to scare him or he's just lying, that's too bad, because I'll bet someone is going to think there is a bounty and go after him. If he made this up for publicity, it'll be his fault if someone tries to collect.

[niyad]

23. hmmm, why do I have trouble believing this story?? oh yeah--because zimmy

is a lying, murdering, pathological attention junkie.

[SmittynMo]

24. Awwww

He needs to get his ass out of this country

[tofuandbeer]

25. Damn! They put a bounty on his head!

That is some scary $hit jerk, and you sure had it coming!

[libodem]

26. I can only hope that he is miserable

And feels persecuted by decent society. As much as I think I may have enjoyed seeing him pummeled, he doesn't deserve the attention or the possible financial reward. He wants to be a martyr, feel self pity, and blame the outside world for his downfall.

I imagine he keeps that girlfriend and her child in line with threats of using that gun on them if they disobey or tell on him. He is a molester. That child is in eminent danger around him.

Plus, the piteous fool has suicidal tendencies so if he feels sorry enough for himself he will probably take them with him if he offs himself.

What kind of an NRA hero doesn't marry his pregnant gf and get a job to support the family? One who is scrounging off her welfare check and wants the state to pay the medical bills for the delivery of his kid. Good thing we social welfare activists provide for the family values of Republican individualists who hate the gubmint.

[JoeyT]

27. I don't buy it.

I think Zimmerman is desperate to get attention and feed his persecution complex and is making shit up or exaggerating. It's possible someone told him to get fucked because they were offended by his "I killed a black kid and got away with it, aren't I fucking awesome?!" tour, but I doubt he had to flee a mob. According to his claims, he couldn't even run from or defend himself against a 17 year old. He sure as hell wouldn't be able to escape or handle a mob.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

35. On the other hand, he could make a few bucks like this...

[yuiyoshida]

37. AGREED but only if they included these...

[Old and In the Way]

28. You know, he may have escaped criminal justice, but

he may yet face frontier justice. I won't be surprised if someone eventually confronts, shoots,l and kills him - than uses the SYG defense because GZ was a known potential threat to that person's well-being. I suspect this thought is not far from George's mind, either. He could even be a little bit paranoid which could create another pre-emptive shooting on his part.

[radhika]

29. It'll probably increase the selling price of his 'art work'.....n/t

[ReRe]

31. Zimmy may have gotten off...

... but life has become his punishment. He will never be free.

[Hekate]

33. What I want to know is who in her right mind would be his girlfriend and subject her kid to him?

Ew ew ew

[Spitfire of ATJ]

34. LOL!!! Nobody is gonna pay for that worthless asshole....

Right wingers ALWAYS obsess about MONEY and feel GREED is the prime motivator for any act so OF COURSE they would claim someone would fork over ten grand for this idiot.

Not EVERYTHING is about MONEY.

Kicking this guys ass could be done for the sheer joy of it.

[Thor_MN]

38. If it's true, it's an incompetant mob.

They should have run him directly east...

[yurbud]

39. I applaud this apart from him having kids with him.

[xfundy]

40. But, but, but--

Zimmerman now claims he was the "victim," and "homeless." Must be nice to afford a beachside hotel room when you're homeless.

[Blue Owl]

43. Puts the "junk" in "junket"

n/t

[MrMickeysMom]

44. RUN, YOU SON OF A BITCH…

RUN!!!!

[Beacool]

46. Well, he chose his path the minute he shot at an unarmed kid.

So he can't complain if he spends the rest of his life being run out of places.

Zero pity for this guy. Ditto for Dunn.

[Myrina]

47. "Waah Waah people are being mean to me!""

Poor little George ...
