…okay, seriously, not really. But for what happened for one guy in an Iowa City restaurant, it sure looked like the Zombie Apocalypse to him for a minute.
Essentially, a man was mistaken for a zombie really early Sunday morning (1:17 AM kind of early) because he was “shambling about” and had been attacked by some other guy.
On the University of Iowa Campus, someone approached the shambler and then punched him several times, all the while screaming about how the man was, in fact, a zombie. The victim tried to get his phone out, but his attacker socked him a couple more and then bolted.
It’s a bad sign in this country that, when someone’s smacking you around and calling you a zombie, your first instinct is to call for help rather than defending yourself, but considering how many people have been jailed for doing just that, it’s not much of a surprise. File that under sad but true.
