Cheez louise, you guys are a vengeful bunch!

In my estimation a mooning (and glass breaking) calls for some roughing up, arrest and reparations. Not getting your brains bashed in. Should the Magic players end up going to jail, that would be the real tragedy.

Also, referring to the vandals as “victims” in the report further illustrates said insinuation.

I’m bothered by the reporter’s insinuation that drunken harassment and significant property destruction are harmless “fun and games” that in no way merit reprisal.

Also, depending on the cost of the window and the state laws involving crimes committed under the influence, the breakage may be a felony, and if that were the case then the nerds had full right to use reasonable force to subdue and hold the perpetrators until the authorities arrive. If the drunks are running, and the nerds are slow, then reasonable force might include throwing a bat, or something.

You could make a case for it.

As far as I’m concerned, if you get beaten up due to your own drunken idiocy, it’s your own damn fault for not being able to drink responsibly.

Thanks for the news. I’m reinforcing my shop’s glass just in case.

“Hey 19, we can’t dance together,
No we can’t talk at all.”

How do we know from what is here that the other guys ( three to the gamers two ) didn’t turn around and attack the gamers, forcing the gamers to up the ante? This argument works for the police all the time when they senselessly beat, taser, torture, kill people.

The hell?!??!?? O.O

I can see if one of the people was the owner of the place for the property damage, but some players?

And this is just another reason for why 19 and 42 year olds should not play together.

Kinda makes me wish I carried a baseball bat myself when I used to get picked on in the fifth grade for bringing in my Doc Savage books…

So a bunch of drunks who were harassing people and destroying private property got their teeth kicked in?

No great loss. I call this a win for the gene pool.

Sad news on both sides, I hope for the best for all involved. Nobody should bully others, but nobody should react with such violence in return.
