George Zimmerman was allegedly punched in the face while talking to people at a restaurant in Florida over the weekend. A man reportedly accused Zimmerman of bragging about killing Trayvon Martin, before punching the 32-year-old for his boasting. Zimmerman claims that he was just explaining to people what happened in the 2012 incident that left the 17-year-old dead, but witnesses say they heard him say to someone, “I love your tattoos. My name is George Zimmerman, you know, that guy who killed Trayvon Martin?” Audio of Zimmerman’s calls to the police after being struck show him requesting they send “three or four cops” to protect him.
