George Zimmerman reportedly received a small taste of vigilante justice on a recent beach trip in Miami. According to reports on (ever reliable news site) TMZ, Trayvon Martin’s killer was run off a beach when recognized by an angry crowd. Zimmerman, who had been in Miami to film a series of interviews and garner yet more undeserved platforms in the public eye, swiftly left the city following the incident. My hope is that the Miami mob set a precedent for how to treat Zimmerman henceforth.

Via TMZ:

Zimmerman taped an interview last Tuesday with Univision and Fusion, and then took his girlfriend, her kid and his brother to the beach. While they were catching some rays, people noticed him, started harassing him, and then someone shouted out George had a $10,000 bounty on his head.

We’re told it freaked him out and they all retreated to the hotel, but the crowd followed them.

Security swept their room to make sure no one tampered with their stuff and then stood guard throughout the day and night. We’re told Zimmerman did his CNN interview early the next morning and then beat it … literally fleeing Miami.

Update:

George Zimmerman says angry Florida mob chased him out of Miami

George Zimmerman’s recent press junket to Miami, FL was reportedly aborted after he received death threats from an angry mob on a public beach and was informed that there is a bounty on his head.

The Miami Sun-Sentinel reported on a TMZ article detailing Zimmerman’s visit to Miami last week for a spate of interviews with Univision and CNN.

Sources told TMZ that Zimmerman and his girlfriend checked into their hotel and went to the beach, where beach-goers allegedly threatened the trio and informed Zimmerman that there is a $10,000 bounty on his life.


Shaken, the group reportedly returned to their hotel and demanded that security perform a full sweep of their rooms. They then requested 24-hour protection until they left the city the next morning, once Zimmerman had taped his interview with CNN.

Zimmerman was acquitted of murder in July for the shooting death of teenager Trayvon Martin in 2012. Since then, the former neighborhood watch volunteer has had repeated brushes with the law in domestic squabbles and traffic violations.

He has claimed in recent interviews that he has no permanent address and that he is suffering from PTSD since the shooting, which left unarmed, 17-year-old Martin dead of a gunshot wound to the chest.
