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.

1. If the the person shot Zimmermann, I wonder if he could have used a "Stand Your Ground" defense

That would be poetic justice!

[ManiacJoe]

8. That would not be legal.

Before one can claim "stand your ground" he first needs to claim a legal lethal self defense, which is not possible according to the article.

10. I was just being sarcastic over a stupid law

[left-of-center2012]

21. I got your humor.

[ailsagirl]

2. What a disgusting piece of garbage he is

To actually brag about murdering an unarmed teenager.




It's just beyond my comprehension.

[Skittles]

17. gun humpers are cowards

FEAR is the source of their GUN HUMPING

[ailsagirl]

18. That must be so

He got away with murder and he's bragging about his crime

Just blows my mind

What MAKES people like that??

[Skittles]

24. he's a gun humping, racist coward

he's a disgusting piece of garbage

[csziggy]

29. It the the only thing that got him infamy in his life

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.

[ailsagirl]

34. But what kind of people would be impressed by his murdering a defenseless teenager?

Racists, I guess. How disgusting

[csziggy]

35. You've got it! Racists, just like GZ nt

[ailsagirl]

36. UGH n/t

[Grimelle]

3. Sweet!

Please tell me whoever punched him had a gun in his hand thus broke his f'n jaw...

[jpak]

4. Did he cry like a baby?

I hope so..

[hollysmom]

6. i am assuming he demanded the person be arrested for assault.

because he can't protect himself against anyone without a gun.

[byronius]

5. Hopefully the first in a series.

[UpInArms]

7. what a nasty piece of mouthbreathing excrement

some day, I hope that I don't have to share the oxygen on this planet with it

[NWCorona]

9. I have a feeling that karma isn't done with him just yet.

[onethatcares]

12. yeah, my feelings exactly

the wheels of justice are turning slowly but they are turning.

[C Moon]

11. He actually boasts: "I'm the guy who killed Travyvon Martin."

He not only feels no remorse, he uses it as his calling card.
I hope these fists to the face continue.
What a 100% piece of pod scum.

[riversedge]

13. Zimmerman is his own worst enemy. Most likey,his mouth will do himself in soon.

[Judi Lynn]

14. I certainly hope he hasn't done that before and been surrounded by racists

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.

15. The GD thread

Has some great one liners!

[Warren Stupidity]

16. thank you, whoever did this.

[Lil Missy]

19. Piece. Of. Shit.

[msanthrope]

20. I want to buy the puncher a drink. nt

[PaulaFarrell]

32. You wouldn't if you read the article

Guy hit him because he thought he was the guy who'd taken a shot at Zimmerman months earlier. As bad as each other.

[raccoon]

33. Uh oh he's just as bad as Zimmerman. nt

[left-of-center2012]

22. Where are nthe Bloods and the Crips?

They should introduce themselves to Zimmerman.

[47of74]

26. Would it look like this?

[flvegan]

23. What really happened?

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&quot .

I know that short-on-facts, long-on-emotion word based titles work well here, but what actually happened?

[ailsagirl]

25. This is confusing-- I don't get it

Straight from the article:

=snip=

(GZ) complimented a man’s Confederate flag tattoo and then started talking about Martin.

“You’re 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 ain’t 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.

[liberalmuse]

27. Zimmerman said this?

I'll have to wait until a credible source collaborates.

[Person 2713]

28. He sought out the group what a wannabe

[erpowers]

30. A Distrubed Man

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.

[Hekate]

31. Cowardly little shit. I was hoping he had a broken nose, but there are no bruises in the photos.
