Punch leads to death at MX race

[backinthesaddle]

Don't know the story behind the story, but no winners here. Two MX families feuding, a punch, a fall death resulting.

Man indicted for manslaughter in fatal assault at Portland raceway

One interesting fact that the story left out is the "children" are in their 20s. So "protecting" your child might be a little loose there. Also, apparently both are known on the scene as hotheads.

Coincidence? Breaking news banner at the top of the page: "LIVE CAM: Watch the corpse flower bloom".

Must have been one hell of a punch!

Maybe, maybe not.... coulda been a push or even a bitch-slap and the guy slipped on some hot-dog relish and hit his head on the bleachers.

The thing to always keep in mind if you start getting heated is that if you assault somebody, you're responsible for whatever happens to them afterwards, no matter how freakish or unexpected the outcome might be.

Unfortunately, for both parties here, that lesson was learned the hard way.

Yeah, I know. Twas just a joke.

Sucks for everyone involved.

Who won the race? That's what I wanna know.....

Kinda reminds me of the Alessi family

Yeah - reminds me of SNL skit where a mother is in a witness seat speaking about her baby who is charged with a crime and the baby is like 20 something.

Actually on VitalMX Jeff Alessi commented that's why he doesn't fight. Of course he points laser pointer at other rider's eyes.

Sucks to see something like this happen. I generally feel that most people would act quite differently if they had a legit feat that their actions could very well result in getting their ass whipped. Drive differently, talk to people differently, hell - walk down the sidewalk differently. We still have this culture down south - if you act like an inconsiderate prick, someone may very well go upside your head. Why do you think we're all so polite?

Because the South has 25% of the population but accounts for 41% of violent crime?



But that's down. In the 50's the murder rate in the South was triple the rest of the US, now it's only double. Yall come.

You're as regular as a period. I said we're polite, not non violent. Read the fucking thread.

If yall were so polite, then why do you have to keep politing people upside the head? Why did the egg cross the road? To get there before the chicken.

[loudbeard]

Not sure why this is so difficult to understand. We are a very polite people, therefore quite offended when someone is rude. Then we have a fist fight, whoever loses is deemed to be wrong. It's really not that difficult.

[jwm2k3]

Shit, I'd be wrong a lot if I lived in the south.....

Since I live up here, I'm right most of the time.

[Rambunctous]

I am right in a left place.

[breakdirt916]

that sucks!

but the bullying thing sucks too...

This is exactly how I was raised. It's really funny to read it written out.

Correct. I grew up in SC, life is very different (not better or worse) here in New England.

[DucDave]

I could agree with you...
...but then, we'd both be wrong

I think dire straights sang two men claim they're Jesus one of them must be wrong.

When I read the title, that's who I figured the article was about.
