Patton concussed after being assualted in USA

[SBYM]

Have you ever been out of Manhattan Island?

Nah...I pretty much just hung out around Times Square and figured the rest of the East Coast was exactly the same...

 

[Hamingja]

To borrow a KBism you have to wonder if his teammate is as antagonistic off the field as he is on it.

 

[TwentyNine]

Guy gets whanged in the back of the head and the thread is half full of people saying it was probably his fault somehow (despite there being no evidence whatsoever to suggest that). Bugger off would ya?

Oh and GWS (get well soon... ho ho ho) Jono.

probably some thick as shit americans feeling intimidated by a bigger/better looking (i'm no homo just thinking how those insecure apes think) guy. why would ANYONE ever go to america.

Their cheeseburgers are magnificent.

Get well soon, Mike

Was surprised to hear somebody attacked him of all people, he's a massive bloke.

It was from behind though. A lot easier that way.

 

[franjon]

It is exactly the reason they would cheapshot someone like that, to feel tough. It sounds a lot like when some yobbo's in Australia attacked one of the W.I fast bowlers (Marlon Black I think) about 10-15 years ago. I thought 'why would you want to fight an athletic gigantor?', but these days people are increasingly ******ed.

They weren't yobbo Aussies. I'm not discounting that Aussies can be yobbo's. But get the facts straight.

6ft 6 grow on tress around here - especially in LA…

And if your at an LA nightclub - anyone that size is gonna be a target of interest..

Go Catters

Well they do have over 300 million people, around 15 times the population of Australia so it makes sense that individuals over 6 foot are more common there, particularly in LA that attracts all sorts of wannabes trying to make it in Hollywood or some other field that relies on looks.

There's a popular 'game' among black Americans particularly in California where they go up to an unsuspecting white person and king hit them, it's called the knockout game. Hopefully it wasn't part of that.

Can confirm this. It's sickening how little media attention this gets because it doesn't fit the Left's agenda.

"The Left"... OK....

 

[PowerbaII]

"The Left"... OK....

Well, yes. You're not going to see any left leaning publications writing stories about this issue.

Well, yes. You're not going to see any left leaning publications writing stories about this issue.

So you're suggesting the American media is mostly "left" and that's why black crime is barely mentioned? OK...

 

[FootyJunkie]

Shits all over the West Coast (except for SF, which is also awesome)...

SF is overrated... pretty views along the bay but I don't get the hype about the city itself.

I had a ball...was only there for a week though, just drinking and eating.

Noice.

 

[FisherHawk]

That surprised? Have you spent much time in west hollywood, some very dodgy types in that part of LA..

Hilarious! WeHo is the gay, arts and live music area and would be a lot safer after dark than the majority of Aussie cities. It's cultured, the people are friendly and it's safe. I know, I've spent plenty of time around there. Wander out of there to the mainstream dance clubs and anything can happen just like anywhere.

 

[FisherHawk]

The city, like most are boring. Probably says more about you than SF thinking it's over rated. Hundreds of bars, live music, educated cultured peopleand the great food. I'm into the place and everybody I know is.

Actually yes you're right, am I thinking Hollywood maybe? That area around sunset strip

 

[Crankyhawk]

Because there's lots of awesome things to see and do and just as many awesome people to meet.

And awesome ways to get shot by some wacko teenager (like the Australian baseball player)

 

[FisherHawk]

Sunset can get a bit seedy the further east you go but defiantly not around WeHo. Hollywood and around the blvd have cleaned up a lot over the years. Tourism is what it's all about so the grubs, hookers and Agro types get moved on.

If there was a bunch of young white people deliberately knocking out black people in unprovoked attacks, it would make worldwide headlines within 24 hours. Wake up.

 

[ApplecrossWC]

LA is a complete dump, on a trip to America I'd avoid it completely.

Its hard to avoid LAX, godforsaken hole that it is.

 

[The Swans Blog]

Probably had some sort of disagreement or argument, walks away, guy comes up and hits him from behind. Happens everywhere, even here. Have seen it happen a lot of times, especially when a girl is the argument.
