But then you're putting millions of people out of work: the employees of any bar, or any restaurant that serves Adult Beverages.
IMHO, (and the in the United Staes Law) there is no justifiable reason to beat down someone like this (unless it is in self defense - and I do not think the condition of this man showed that someone was only defending themselves).
The people (or person's) that beat this guy up should be in jail. Period.

Make them sell other things instead of booze. There are a gillion things out there you can sell and make a profit of.
Yeah candy is the only product there is in america.....BTW candy is a huge
seller too.
Horrendous place to live?
At least there wont be any more incent killed by drunk drivers. They should had done it a long time ago. Booze KIlls...>They should get rid of tabacco as well.
ok thought this thread was off track in finding humor in a man getting beat down by a group of 7 but now soem of you are trying to get rid of my booze...not sure i want to be associated with anything in this thread
If you guys don't think any part of that story was sensationalized then you're delusional. Especially coming out of the northeast market. Also, typically a story like this is reported by a single outlet then distributed among the associated press word for word, with no fact checking. So even though multiple outlets are reporting it, none are verifying the accuracy.
While I don't condone any of it, the fact that someone is claiming that someone said the people of NY deserved 911 is most likely false and a tactic to cover of that most likely the Jet fan probably initiated the fight. This is most likely a way to push for harsher punishment for the people who beat up the jet fan.
Either way, no one deserves to get beat up like that, but stooping to saying that this was a hate crime by claiming 911 is somehow involved is pretty far fetched.
Yes. My educated opinion. Slightly more plausible than your blind belief in the first hand account of the story from the victim's sister.
She's probably completely unbiased and accurate and completely unaffected by the savage beating of her brother.
Get real.
As I already stated, I don't condone any of it. But the likelihood of this story being 100% accurate is 100% improbable. So just because a printed story of the other side of the story isn't readily available, being that one single source has published their side, doesn't mean that there aren't differences either.
Many people discredit criminals because of their profile and a story said about them. Often times evidence proves otherwise. Do you blindly believe everything you read simply because you haven't heard the other side? My "education" leads me to believe that the truth is in the middle. There's ALWAYS implausibility.

But the story of the victim's sister is what is called in the law "evidence." Now, not all "evidence" necessarily is true or has to be believed. She may be lying or she may be telling the truth and even if telling the truth may be accurate or inaccurate but it is eyewitness testimony and constitutes "evidence."
Now, the belief that the "evidence" may be inaccurate or exaggerated based on the emotional state of the victim or the bias of fans is "speculation" because it is not based on evidence but merely based on the "possibility" that the evidence may be wrong or exaggerated.
An opinion based on speculation is therefore not evidence but can only remain "speculation" until supported by evidence no matter how much based on common experience and probability that "speculation" may be.
Chyrene, Your talking like this is a courtroom and that "Evidence" has been presented and entered in a court a Law. This is a sensationalized 1 sided account. Even you have to agree we have not heard anything from the Suspects in the case. Nothing , Zero , its as 1 sided as it gets. Why? Becuase the Press dug the Victim's account , thought it made a great story , and as usual reported what sells news. No need to dig further, they got what they wanted.
I think what everyone is trying to say here all along is that no one condones the beating of a person, but the way it was reported just makes this Jets fan out to be some kind Innocent Mytar. Now the symbol of 9/11 and Poor Victimized New York City. Bull Sh*t. And you know it.
My post was a comment on the dispute between berk and ihatebrady.
It did not take a position on whether the account was true. In fact, I said evidence can be false and even if the witness believes it, he can be inaccurate.
Damn, Treasure as a former cop, you should know how to analyze a statement or a position.

RESPONSE: I had missed this comment originally. I just read it and was rolling on the floor with laughter.
The reason I laughed is that I recall that I had a summer job at UCLA in the summer of 1967 at the Institute of Traffic and Transportation Engineering where we were doing the seat-belt study that led to the placement of seat belts in all cars.
I remember one of the two guys that ran the study saying "My God. They blame President Johnson for everything. If your mother-in-law comes to stay in your home for a couple of days, it's Lyndon Johnson's fault."
