George Zimmerman was apparently in fear for his life over the weekend after being confronted by someone who heard him bragging about killing Trayvon Martin.

The New York Post reports that Zimmerman was at Gators Riverside restaurant in Sanford, Florida, having a conversation about Martin when a guy approached his table.

“You’re bragging about that?" the guy said, before punching him in the face knocking off his glasses.

Zimmerman called 911 to report the assault.

“He recognized me,” Zimmerman told dispatchers. “He told me he was going to kill me he told me he’d fucking shoot me and he punched me in the face. He said he’s going to kill me. You need to send like three or four cops."

Witnesses at the restaurant confirmed his story, but said he asked for it.

According to WFTV, the altercation began when Zimmerman was overheard telling someone, “I love your tattoos. My name is George Zimmerman, you know, that guy who killed Trayvon Martin?” 

The man who punched him could face charges.

Trayvon Martin

Zimmerman was a neighborhood watchman when he shot and killed 17-year old Martin, who was unarmed, on February 26, 2012, in Sanford.

The teenager was walking to his father's house after leaving a convenience store. Zimmerman confronted him, claiming he looked suspicious.

An altercation ensued resulting in Martin's death.

On July 13, 2013, Zimmerman was acquitted of second degree murder and manslaughter.

A German artist is accusing Rick Ross of pilfering two of his paintings.

According to TMZ, painter Ivan Beslic claims the alleged theft went down over the weekend while Ross was in Hunxe, Germany to perform at the Out4Fame Festival.

Beslic says the MMG boss was in his VIP tent admiring paintings of himself and Slick Rick. At some point a person in Ross' crew allegedly unhooked them and took them to their tour bus.

When the painter tried to get his merchandise back he was stopped by security.

A promotional video on Rick's Instagram shows someone taking a painting off of a wall. Beslic believes that backs up his story.

A German artist claims Rick Ross stole these paintings

The artist says he didn't go to the police because his friends run the festival and he didn't want to cause a scene, but he's prepared to have his lawyer handle matters if Ross doesn't cough up $3,300.

Ross' camp deny the accusations.

Dylann Roof was attacked by another inmate

Video After The Jump

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCIV) — Dylann Roof and his appointed attorney have no plans to file charges against the inmate accused of attacking him Thursday morning as the accused church shooter went to the showers.

According to Charleston County Sheriff Al Cannon, the assault happened shortly before 8 a.m. as Roof was being escorted to the showers in Housing Unit 1B. Cannon says the two detention center guards had moved away from Roof, one to take a break and another to hand toilet paper to another inmate.

That's when detention center officials say 25-year-old Dwayne Stafford, a fellow protective custody inmate, ran down a flight of stairs and through a door that should have been locked so he could attack Roof. Jail records show Stafford is being held in the jail on assault, drug, and robbery charges from January 2015.

Dwayne Stafford

The attack was broken up by one of the detention deputies assigned to the housing unit. 

Stafford hit Roof in the face and back, leaving him with bruises on his face and back, the report adds. Roof was checked out by jail medical staff and returned to his cell. 

Cannon said the incident has led detention center officials to look at policies and processes in place at the jail and make sure that complacency is not becoming an issue.

"The very least, we have complacency -- for police officers and detentions officers it is one of the biggest problems we face," Cannon said. 

The sheriff said they are also looking into how Stafford made it through what should have been a locked door, which means looking at the electronic locking mechanism.

"Stafford should not have been able to get through that door," he said.

It's all part of a larger internal investigation stemming from the incident.

Cannon said Roof did not provoke the attack, that it was by surprise. He also could not shed any light on Stafford's motivation.

Dylann Roof

He did say Roof did not fight back.

"I don't think that there was a back and forth fight, so to speak. He was protecting himself from blows," Cannon said.

Roof faces 33 charges in federal court, and nine murder and three attempted murder charges in state court. Prosecutors in both courts are seeking the death penalty.

Dylann Roof is accused of murdering 9 people at a Charleston church on June 17, 2015

The federal trial starts in Novembers. His state trial will start sometime next year. It’s tentatively set for January.

To say that ITSBIZKIT wears a ridiculous number of hats feels like an understatement. From running his own website to hosting podcasts and events to discovering new artists, the dude’s grind never stops. Proving that point is the release of “I Ain’t Got Time,” an aptly titled brand-new banger he curated that features Zoey Dollaz, Anoyd, Grafh, and DA The Future.

Despite the four rappers hailing from different parts of the East Coast, they complement each other perfectly here with charismatic flows and braggadocios bars that center on the chorus of, “I be outchea on my grind, ain’t got time for me to think/I ain’t got time to chase, unless I’m chasin’ to the bank.” The track is also tied together by producer BIRTHDAY, whose instrumental is just as rich with bass as it is hypnotizing and layered.

Miami’s Zoey Dollaz opens “I Ain’t Got Time” and catches your ear with a sing-song delivery before sending the mic to Connecticut’s Anoyd. He grits his teeth at his enemies throughout his rhymes before passing it off to Grafh, the Queens MC who flexes his shapeshifting flow and eats wack MCs. It may just be Amityville, N.Y.’s DA The Future who steals the show, though, as he closes the track with a hungry verse featuring clever references to Obama, Black Rob, Phife Dawg (RIP), and R. Kelly.

In the other video, Gaines talks to the boy, who gives halting answers, which raises the possibility the boy might have been coached.

Gaines is heard asking the boy what the police are trying to do. He answers, "They're trying to kill us."

The boy is being treated for non-life threatening injuries at The Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, where he is in good condition, police said.

Responding to reporters' questions about whether police had deactivated Gaines' social media accounts during the standoff, Johnson said law enforcement has no power to deactivate an account.

Facebook has a portal for law enforcement requests, though, and police did ask the social media giant to deactivate her account "to preserve the integrity of the negotiations." Facebook complied, he said.

Gaines was posting video of the operation as some of her followers urged her not to follow police orders, Johnson said.

Gaines had shotgun, police say

Around 9:20 Monday morning, three warrant service officers went to serve a man and a woman in the Randallstown area of Baltimore County, Maryland.

Upon arriving, the officers heard the voices of a man, a woman and a crying child inside the apartment.

They waited outside the door for about 10 minutes, Johnson said. Then, one officer obtained a key to the apartment.

#BREAKING: Armed woman barricaded into apartment w/ a juvenile in Randallstown. @cbsbaltimore pic.twitter.com/T5oOHAYYQH

— Devin Bartolotta (@WJZDevin) August 1, 2016

The man, Kareem Courtney, 39, was wanted on an assault warrant while Gaines was wanted on a bench warrant for failing to appear in court to face traffic charges, police said.

Gaines had a Mossberg 12-gauge shotgun, which she pointed at police, Johnson said. Records show she bought the gun last year.

The officers called for a tactical team and waited.

Not long into the standoff, Courtney left the apartment with a 1-year-old child and was arrested.

That left Gaines and the 5-year-old in the home.

"Gaines was posting video of the operation as it unfolded," Johnson said.

Gaines vacillated between agitated and calm during the encounter, he said. Several times she pointed the shotgun at officers.

At around 4 p.m., after hours of standoff, the woman threatened officers verbally and with the weapon, according to the police account.

"If you don't leave, I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill you," Johnson quoted Gaines as saying.

One police officer fired a shot and Gaines fired back with double-aught buckshot. Officers responded with three shots and the woman was struck.

Police didn't say why the first officer fired.

The 5-year-old boy was hit in the arm during the crossfire.

It isn't clear if the boy was hit by a bullet or shrapnel, or who fired the shot that hit him, Johnson said. The boy's location during the gunfire is also unclear, he said.

Social media deactivated

Gaines' Facebook account was deactivated, but nothing was deleted, said Baltimore County department spokeswoman Elise Armacost, emphasizing that police wouldn't want video deleted because it could serve as evidence.

Authorities are working to obtain warrants for records of social media accounts belonging to Gaines, who "clearly had anti-government views," Armacost said.

As for whether police secured their own footage of the standoff, Johnson said no officer involved in the direct conflict was wearing a body camera. Asked later if police contemplated bringing body cameras to the scene during the hours-long standoff, Armacost said she would have to check and get back to reporters.

The officers will be placed on administrative leave, which is standard procedure in officer-involved shootings, according to police. Their names will be released around Thursday morning, as dictated by the Baltimore County Police Department's contract with its union, the department said.

Wanted on misdemeanors

A search of Maryland court filings shows that police filed traffic and criminal charges separately against Gaines in relation to a March 11 traffic stop. An officer issued Gaines citations related to her vehicle registration, insurance and tags -- offenses that would have commanded at least $560 in fines -- and filed criminal charges stemming from the same traffic stop the next day, according to court records.

She was originally pulled over for driving without a license plate. In place of a tag, she had a cardboard sign with a handwritten message warning government officials not to compromise her right to travel, he said.

Gaines was accused of disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, littering and failing to obey a reasonable and lawful order, all misdemeanors. A failure-to-appear warrant was filed when she did not show up to court July 13, court records show.

Police: Gaines filed assault charge

Courtney, the man in the apartment with Gaines, was wanted on an assault warrant filed by Gaines following a domestic violence incident in "the weeks prior" to Monday's standoff, Johnson said. Details were not immediately available, but Maryland court records show that Courtney was arrested for second-degree assault on June 28 and his case remains active.

The chief said it was unclear why he only took one child when he came out of the apartment Monday.

It was not clear if he was running or walking when he left, Armacost said. He was released from custody Monday, she said.

Police have yet to confirm the relationship of the two children to either suspect.

'Feisty' but 'respectful'

Anger against police violence remains high in the Baltimore area, which is still reeling from the death of Freddie Gray, the 25-year-old Baltimore resident who died on April 19, 2015, after suffering a spinal injury while in police custody.

12pt;">Gaines' uncle Jerome Barnett, 44, told the Baltimore Sun that his niece "was feisty, but she was smart and she was respectful."

"My niece is a good person; I never knew her to be a rowdy person," Barnett told the paper.

CNN affiliate WBAL-TV reports the case is the county's third officer-involved shooting of 2016 and the first fatal officer-involved shooting.

 

Following the death of another African-American at the hands of police, anger spilled out on social media pages.

Under scrutiny were authorities' initial uncertainty over whether officers wore body cameras, why certain videos had disappeared from Gaines' social media accounts and why three officers had arrived at her home to arrest her for misdemeanors and traffic violations.

Many users pointed out instances in which white people, such as Aurora, Colorado, movie theater shooter James Holmes, survived police encounters despite being heavily armed.

As details continued to emerge Tuesday, the outrage towards police was accompanied by a slew of tweets questioning the indignation. How, many people asked, can people rush to defend a woman who endangered her child by threatening police with a weapon when a child was in the home?
