"Is George Zimmerman missing playing pretend cop and shooting people?
A TPM Reader reader in The Hive (sub req) flagged this bizarre little story. It seems Zimmerman has been volunteering as a night security guard at a Motorcycle and gun shop in DeLand, Florida called Pompano Pat's.
To add to the weirdness, the owner of Pompano Pat's is Pat Johnson, who's running for Mayor of Deland.
The whole drama started last night when a police officer spotted Zimmerman in his pickup parked at Pompano Pat's. Sgt. Chris Estes questioned Zimmerman. According to Estes, "[Zimmerman] said he had permission from Pat Johnson to do night security but our officers could not make contact with Pat Johnson to verify that so we did an information report."
But Sam Porter, the shop's gun sales manager, said that Zimmerman is not an employee of Pompano Pat's: “George Zimmerman is not an employee of the business and he is not getting paid in any way, shape or form by Pompano Pat’s.”
Reading over this story in the Daytona Beach News-Journal, it seems like Pat Johnson probably knew Zimmerman was doing this volunteer guard duty. But they're being pretty vague about whether Pat asked him to guard the store, knew he was guarding the store, etc. They're actually claiming the whole thing is somehow a political dirty trick to connect Johnson, albeit very tangentially, to the killing of Trayvon Martin."
