Guy accused of being zombie gets nose broken
When the alleged zombie tried to call police on his cell phone, he got hit again in the face and ended up with a broken nose. The assailant then fled out the back door, probably after figuring out you can't stop a zombie just by punching him. Or maybe he realized he was hitting a totally innocent human.

And that is why forced sterilization, and/or just locking up stupid people should be mandatory. Who in their right mind is stupid enough to believe that a zombie is sitting in a restaurant ordering food!?!?
By WesOxford at 7:06 PM ON 10/25/09
It depends on what he was ordering
Caesar Salad = Not a Zombie
Raw Steak = Possible Zombie
if he asked if the other Customers were on the Menu = Yes, He is a Zombie

The stupidity of people just never fails to amaze me...

At least he didn't shoot him in the head.

@NotAmcsi
Yeah, because no one ever does anything stupid anywhere else in the world. Seriously, bashing an entire population because of the stupidity of a few reveals a serious lack of perspective. Granted we may have some of the world's least intelligent people hanging around, but we also have many of the world's smartest people.
The majority of American media though...that's a whole different story.

Any movies come forth and admit it was a publicity stunt yet? Shawn of the Dead II or something? - kh

Okay, kids. And what does this teach us? Leave the zombie hunting to the professionals, okay, guys? You know, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Harry Dresden, Alucard, Van Helsing, Ash... Let them handle the zombies. You just sit back and enjoy your meal.

Guy was most likely on drugs. Hallucinating on meth or something.
By oddball at 12:08 AM ON 10/26/09
Sounds like BS to me. Probably just a few angry punks looking for trouble.

Take your hate of america attitude and shove it up your ass.

"Correctly: The stupidity of AMERICAN people just never fails to amaze me..."
Yes, nothing bad happens in the rest of the world. Nothing at all. You are innocent of every sin America has committed that warrants your ignorant, biased, baseless bashing.
By cfolliot at 1:13 AM ON 10/26/09
Has "balloon boy" taught us nothing? Wait...I can see a very inebriated person doing that, no I can't it would've happened before, so yeah, publicity stunt it is.
As for "NotAmcsi" wow, you are right, America really sucks. We are right up there with Nazi Germany, the USSR, and hell all those other countries that promote personal freedom. Wow, I'm so ashamed I live in this evil country.

@NotAmcsi
Women were beaten on suspicion of being witches. India.
A man allowed a cannibal to eat him. Said cannibal was later tried and convicted of murder. Germany.
Somebody refused to remove a hood in a department store because it was against his Jedi beliefs. UK.
And yet, you never ceased to be amazed by American stupidity. How provincial.

Did the assailant get to unlock something cool? I've always thought the "bare hands headstrike" achievement wasn't worth the risk of infectious splatter at the least, not to mention the possibility of you hitting a gas bag bomb and taking out your whole survivor group. Maybe I'll try the move after I finish the campaign.

@God,
That is epic....I ROFL'd. So, does this mean that Heaven has broadband interweb? Who's his ISP? Does he have WI-FI?
By MCP-001 at 11:24 AM ON 10/26/09
What got me (from tThe Huffington Post piece, anyway), was that the guy was "accused" of being a zombie.
He didn't act(?) like a zombie.
He wasn't dressed like a zombie.
He just got slugged in the nose by someone "accusing" him of being a zombie.
Hopefully the security camera will have a nice clear image of Sluggo.
By Falconer at 11:48 AM ON 10/26/09
Zombies... Why'd it have to be zombies? Maybe we'll be lucky and the puncher will try to punch out someone else in Iowa City, and they will actually CATCH him this time and get him the help he needs. He's obviously been driven nuts by all the horror films shown on TV this month. Make that the BAD horror films saturating the airwaves. Or maybe he was dragged to see Zombieland by friends who slipped him some mind-altering drug.
By brian m. at 12:59 PM ON 10/26/09
Um calling everyone stupid over this is a bit immature.
He probably just wanted to punch someone, or was on something.
Just sit home in your star trek pajamas, zit covered face, thinking you all are so "smart" and better than "stupid" people. I bet if your geek squad ford taurus's broke down you would want someone"stupid" to fix it. Enjoy being superior at home by yourself since you have no friends and play WOW all day you damn nerds.
By Satan at 3:00 PM ON 10/26/09
brian m., you have just proven God's point. People are stupid.
By ZombieAmbassador at 3:33 PM ON 10/26/09
I call for swift action against the attacker for this hate crime. For too long we Zombies have been discriminated against. Hollywood continually projects our people in a negative light, and perpetuates hate crimes such as this.

@ZombieAmassador. That is classic! You know that ought to be in the comments of the week article!

By Tekzel at 8:14 PM ON 10/26/09
@Necronomic Recovery: That was a ridiculous and ignorant comment. What "game" was he starting? The guy was merely illustrating an obvious point that NotAmcsi was too idiotic to see. Well, that or he was just trolling. Which is the more likely scenario.
Do you deny that there are idiots everywhere? Do you maintain that America contains a disproportionate number? Perhaps you could clarify your statement.
@NotAmcsi: When you make a dumb statement like that, could you include YOUR country of origin so we can evaluate the legitimacy of your point property?

I remember as a kid there was a joke that aliens were in Earth orbit blasting humans with a ray gun that makes us stupid.
The aliens wish to apologize for getting a little too gungho with the ray gun. They didn't mean to make us this stupid!

Should be known, that during certain phases of the two wars we are currently fighting, questionable combatants would be "called out" as Zombies and ... well you get the point.
Assaulter was probably home on leave and a bit bored, drunk or both, and basically just doing what they normally do sans rifle.
