Iowa City police are investigating an early morning assault in which a man accused another of being a zombie, then punched him twice. Police said the assault occurred at 1:17 a.m. Sunday at an Iowa City restaurant south of the University of Iowa campus.

A man was ordering food when he was approached by another man who called him a zombie, then hit him in the eye. When the victim tried to call police on his cell phone, the man punched him again, breaking his nose.

The man then ran out a back door.

The victim was taken by ambulance to a hospital.

Where was Alan Grayson this morning?

[Zack Nguyen]

The man had it coming. He should have admitted his zombie status immediately. Then all would be well.

Hey, that’s discrimination against the undead.
The perp should be caught and have his warm gooey brains eaten.

I emphatically deny that I was in Iowa City at any time this weekend, nor are my knuckles abraded in any way.

From the comments on the article

It was simply

a case of mistaken identity.....the victim was simply mistaken for being a zombie when in fact he was not, he may have looked like one but that doesn't mean he was one. The attacker apparantly believed the victim was a zombie and did what he thought was appropriate which was sock him in the eye and then when the victim tried calling for help he was rewarded by the attacker with a wallop to the nose. The guy who hates zombies needs to go to some anger control therapy because you just cant go around punching zombies in the face.

There is no way alcohol was involved in this incident.

*reading from the zombie handbook*
“Welcome to the ranks of the shuffling snuffling undead! As a new member of the ravening zombie hordes, you will need to know a few things.
First, it’s said, “Braaaaaaaaaains!”
Second, more drool and shuffle, less transfixed staring.”

Don’t ask how I got the handbook.
/ bad joke.

Rule #4: The Double-Tap

[glock rocks]

Right you are. Shovels are much more appropriate, even more so if the eating establishment is a Waffle House!

[savedbygrace]

I blame Obama, King of the Zombies.

[vpintheak]

Nor drugs I’m sure.

[domenad]

What they don’t tell you is the guy ordered a plate of human flesh, medium. They won’t do it rare anymore, e coli don’t you know.

[Humbug]

But, what if he really was a zombie? In that case, perhaps he’s one of the ones who voted for the One.

When the victim tried to call police on his cell phone, the man punched him again, breaking his nose.

I hate it when people use cell phones in restaurants also.

[SIDENET]

approached by another man who called him a zombie, then hit him in the eye.

What an idiot.

You never go hand-to-hand with zombies!

WTH was this guy thinking?

What a dope. Everyone knows zombies don't really exist.

The guy was one of the lizard people.

A concealed carry is much better protection than a cell phone.

Glenn Beck called all his listeners “ zombies “ the other night on O’Reilly’s show

Did he really or are you taking his words out of context? What exactly did he say?

[glock rocks]

Beck didn’t call all of his listeners zombies.

I'm pretty sure zombies don't use cell phones and avoid the police at all costs.

Thus, the second punch was totally uncalled for.

Zombiephobia. It has to stop.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

Consider that stolen! ;)

[Brilliant]

Maybe the attacker meant that HE was a zombie.

[glock rocks]

Who’s like zombies? O’Reilly’s audience? Beck never referred to anyone other than the zombies. And as we know, zombies only have one thing on the mind... braaaaaaains.

[phredo53]

fine work there, dynachrome. God, y’all make me jealous; hoggin’ all the graphics talent.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

It’s called sarcasm. Look it up.

You must be a real barrel of laughs at parties.

[sushiman]

That Beck Kool Aid must taste REAL good . ; )

[sushiman]

Are your ears in tip top shape ? LISTEN . Beck refers to HIS followers as “ like zombies . “ ???

[Dead Corpse]

[nickcarraway]

I didn’t see it, but do you really think he would be insulting his fans publicly? Didn’t he call himself a rodeo clown?

[Dead Corpse]

Your sarcasm meter is broken. Get a clue...
