George Zimmerman Says He Was Punched For Talking About Trayvon Martin Shooting

George Zimmerman, who was acquitted of shooting unarmed teen Trayvon Martin to death in 2012, says he was punched in the face by a Florida restaurant customer who overheard him talking about the killing, according to police. 

Zimmerman told police in Sanford that the Sunday evening altercation began inside Gators Riverside Grille after he complimented another customer’s Confederate flag tattoos. A friend of the tattooed man recognized Zimmerman and asked if he was indeed the volunteer neighborhood watchman who fatally shot 17-year-old Martin in 2012.
