George Zimmerman who was acquitted of killing an unarmed black teen said he was punched in the face for allegedly bragging about the fatal shooting.
Zimmerman called 911 to report that he was assaulted by a man at a restaurant in Sanford, Florida, over the weekend where he was discussing the 2012 death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
Zimmerman, 32, told authorities the man approached his table and said: Youre bragging about that? and punched him.

But the story doesn’t say he was bragging.
If true, the thug who punched Zimmerman is a criminal and should go to prison.
If True, Zimmerman is an absolute moron - he should never, ever mention that event again. Even though he did the right thing, many people only know the caricature of events as narrated by leftists, i.e., liars. GZ should change his name, disappear, and try to live a normal white-Hispanic life with no press and no drama.
Z-man is an accident looking for a place to happen.
He’s an idiot. His time is running out.
You’re assuming that’s the life he WANTS to live. Doing things this stupid make me wonder ...
Indeed the headline presumes more than the story supports. I guess the rule of thumb is its ok to do sloppy journalism on someone’s reputation as long as it fits the bigotries of the day.
“But the story doesnt say he was bragging.”
Headlines sell papers-——truth doesn’t matter anymore.

“If True, Zimmerman is an absolute moron - he should never, ever mention that event again. Even though he did the right thing, many people only know the caricature of events as narrated by leftists, i.e., liars. “
Why not? Since GZ did the right thing, talking about it is NOT wrong. It is his first amendment right to talk and speak up so that others know what they can do to defend themselves. Since he was acquitted of any crime, he has first amendment rights.
George, George, George of the (Urban)Jungle; Watch Out 4 That Tree!!
DISCRETION while in a public place George Z., Look up that word, learn it, live it.
I’m surprised he hasn’t been off’ed already as careless as he is. There he is, still in Florida, like a sitting duck.
Perhaps he wasn’t “bragging” after all.But he’d be wise,for *many* reasons,to do his best to leave that behind.But I *do* wonder how his lawsuit against NBC is going.I hope he gets millions and millions and then uses the money to just vanish...both for his well being and for the tranquility of the nation.
He was a democrat at the time of the shooting if I remember correctly. It may explain his wacky nature...
If he was bragging he deserved to get punched.
What the heck is he doing in Sanford Florida?
I hope he’s not planning to give tours...
Sure, you can be a prominent public figure and tweet out the n-word on Twitter if you desire, but is it the smart thing to do?
One thing the media did was they tried to identify Zimmerman as white. Another thing they tried to do is identify him as being some sort of law enforcement. The media to is responsible for so much of our race issues. They’re partly responsible for what happened to the officers in Dallas and New Orleans.
Trayvon may have been guilty and deserved what he got but Zimmerman is sleaze.
I trust little to nothing of what the press says about racial issues
No,it's not wrong...not at all.But it is very,*very* unwise...for reasons that I suspect you're aware of.
As the old saying goes, “Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.”
One night way back when Zimmerman got it right,
he’s been pretty much stupid ever since.
I have the *right* to dress up in KKK sheets and carry a Confederate battle flag around Compton by myself, at night, unarmed.
Doesn’t mean it’s very smart or that I deserve much sympathy when something bad happens.
