I have no idea who you are ?!? though I think you should now just tell us all. I do know you sent me an awful, mean message on Facebook last winter and pretended to work for the Vindicator. Delusion? You know that commenting unprofessionally ("like a psycho" falls under "unprofessional" usually, right?) to actual articles is NOT "working for the Vindicator" no matter how much time you spend doing it. So go ahead Mr. Davey, tell us who you are. I put my name in my username. I put my web address on my ads. I'm the one in the middle at Covelli last weekend. Obviously, you know who I am. So let's have it; who are you.
You should be so lucky as to spend your time better - perhaps boosting people who need it, not feeling sorry for those who don't need your pity at all. Pity children who do not have warm, loving homes with progressive, intelligent, creative and strong but gentle individuals surrounding them, supporting every aspect of their growth. Feel sorry for kids whose parents don't have the luxury of helping people with their well-being, their self-esteem, who don't get the opportunity to entertain 2,700 people at one time, the majority of those enjoying and appreciating it. Feel sorry for kids whose parents don't provide enough clean diapers but spend money on crack and dope instead of nourishing food, or parents who choose not to work at all much less work helping people. Feel sorriest for those whose parents have nothing and actually do require and deserve assistance but cannot get it for whatever reason. Don't feel sorry for me and mine. I work my karma and I love my life. You probably saw me - if you really did (your comments make me wonder) - at a benefit. That's when you do something for free for the benefit of someone else. Try it. It's very Christ-like and empowering. For example, you could have spent $45 last Saturday to help "Making Kids Count" and could have not joined in on making petty complaints about the event where everyone who participated did so for the greater good. There's always next time.
(As a side note I mention the prude watching pornography and the woman ashamed of a baby at the breast to highlight the hypocrisy this media driven society has bred where a billboard of a silicon-injected, airbrushed version of a girl with an eating disorder is more acceptable and less protested than real, natural and healthy women participating in an ancient dance form.)
Oh. You are one of "those", the judgemental types. Have you ever met a prude that watches porn? Does breast feeding in public also irritate you? It's VS Pink & Cosmo-style or bare nothing because that's what the media tells you to like and we aren't allowed the same comfort in our bodies that the airbrushed girls get, not in your virgin eyes anyway. Smart... and original, too! C'est la vie but please; still mind your manners - this is a public forum even if you are hiding out behind a computer screen at the moment - and don't choke on that dexatrim; we don't know CPR.
@gbeans01, from one woman to another, "gee thanks". Also, weren't you canceling your subscription? Or did the Vindy suddenly stop sucking enough for you to feel it worthy of your eyes again?
pressing charges for violence, especially violence that was unprovoked, is definitely the right thing to do. letting the "perp" know that this would be the case immediately (probably not knowing who this kid was, not knowing if anyone knew him/how to find him, i would have definitely caused a scene as well and bob was being looked after while she did this). I personally saw her holding a napkin to his chin still looking over both shoulders to be sure nothing else was coming and quite possibly that he wasn't running off without being arrested for assault. he was* knocked down/out and came to... he was then able to walk. that is normal. he did* receive 11 stitches. he *can afford an ambulance and after experiencing violence, driving is never the best choice if you have another option as your adrenaline is up and your nerves are shot. your emotional and mental state are often not conducive to driving safely. you hit a cop, yer gonna pay. you hit a politician, yer gonna pay. you hit a thug, yer gonna pay. just in different ways.
TheLostPatrol: The woman with Dorian, evidently his mother, was sitting down along the far west wall saying something to the effect of, "Get out the way... Get out the way... Watch from ovah thare... I can't see"... The place was crowded, the door is right next to the dance floor & stage, it is very typical to have to stand to see performances there like any long and narrow venue in Youngstown or any downtown area for that matter. Bob acknowledged her, said he was waiting for his wife or something to that effect (several people were coming in and greeting each other in the entry), and then more people were moving in from other directions to watch but she had her sights set on him alone at that point I suppose. (I have no idea what she was drinking or if she had been drinking before she arrived but I'd like to assume such low level language and rudeness could only come out of a drunk person. Sadly I bet this is not the case.) She continued. Dorian joined in with some expletives of his own, Bob shrugged and moved a bit, and Dorian said something to the effect of, "Yah, I thought so!!!" and Bob looked back with a shocked look, I'm guessing, and some sort of "whatever man" being peaceful and quite frankly, probably shocked at the ridiculousness of it all. Dorian then sucker punched him. Bob's daughter shrieked or yelled or something and Dorian's father (I am presuming from the so-called reports thus far that this is who the second man is) grabbed her and threw her down on top of Bob. The mother (?) pulled out a taser (not sure if was legal or illegal) as if SHE were the one being assaulted.... ? They quickly were escorted out. There's some video where you can hear her playing with the taser. She didn't use it ON anyone to my knowledge. No, I'm not posting it. :) I'm sure you can read the court reports or maybe if there is some trial, it'll be public.
I'd have paid to watch GB Jr.. nevermind.. Stan: Um, Dorian might've gotten a round house to the back side of his head had this all happened just a few moments later (contrary to some beliefs about it, yoga certainly doesn't make for weak legs or a lack of flexibility nor speed;). I'm pro-gun and budo, albeit while practicing ahimsa (budo means to *stop the fight so I feel justified and comfy in my own little belief system here;).
The real fact of the matter though is that no one knew it was coming... I think everyone around would agree that it was quite ridiculous, definitely unexpected and it all happened extremely fast. Outside of a mosh pit, literally "fighting for a spot" is pretty rare these days I think... lol.. But c'est la vie, I guess.. I'm comfortable in the meantime just leaving it to karma (since he's long since been hauled away anyhow...)
Sadly, even if you are licensed to carry, you can't carry in that establishment. That's the law. I'm not necessarily agreeing with it. I'm certainly not one to promote violence but I'm also not one to ask someone to remain unarmed or allow themselves to be victimized because they are afraid or simply unable to defend themselves. In this situation though, being armed would have turned a pointless act of violence into an even larger pointless act of violence. Also, I'm not big on ministers that were appointed by others rather than choosing* that life, ... ? wth... nor entertainers. Well.. I do love me some Mikhail Baryshnikov.. so perhaps I should scratch that last one... Maybe a little communism could be the ticket to better promoting arts in the Yo.. (joking, of course)...
