I saw a zombie over the weekend on 4th ave. Well, I thought he was a zombie. Turns out, he was a crack-head. Still... seemed that something had taken his soul away.

"A very good case for a concealed weapons permit. That surely deserved a knee cap."
You should be glad that there was no CW permit ... Or the shooter would have been a very good case for doing prison time for homicide. KNOW THE LAW before commenting.

Zombies don't cary guns. Everyone knows that! That's why the guy didn't have to worry about the zombie having a CW.
Where is the NRA equivilant on this? We Americans have to right to punch zombies without being persecuted by the man.

Here is the problem. Iowa City actually has laws about when you can trick-or-treat. Generally they allow it between dusk and 8 PM but some areas have different hours. The local paper prints these times so you don't get confused.
This zombie's problem was he was out way too late. It is up to local citizens to identify out-of-hours zombies and capture them, so they can be turned in to the authorities. The problem there is that everyone in Iowa City looks like a zombie. So you need to bust them across the chops to see if they are a zombie.
The best zombie prank was pulled off this time two years ago. Someone hacked into the highway department and changed all their warning signs to Caution! Zombies Ahead. The highway department was not amused. They issued a statement which said, "It's sort of amusing, but not at all helpful." Unless there are zombies around...

Gee if it was Arizona the guy who got hit could have pulled out his gun and shot the guy three or four times.

O.M.G. This is so bizarre! And he thought the best way to take out a zombie was by punching him?!

He should have cut the head off to find out if he was a zombie. Insted of hitting punching him.

#8 and 9 ...
#8, You're incorrect because
#9, Punching him made better sense than shooting because you can't kill a creature that is already dead.
