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.
Right you are. Shovels are much more appropriate, even more so if the eating establishment is a Waffle House!
Maybe the attacker meant that HE was a zombie.
