aylbert Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Jersey makes up a large portion of the Flyers fan base. And I'm never surprised on who knocks out who, especially if it's 2 on 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Video of the incident: http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=espn:7428428 The agressor should be made an example of. There is no reason for that in society. None. Also, just on a side note, It kinda bothers me that they have to add the fact that he's an off-duty police officer / Iraq veteran in that every time they write the article. Kinda makes me feel that the media paint a picture that those in civil service can't be "wrong"... I respect members of civil service, but in this case, he was a regular Rangers fan waiting on line for a cheese steak and I really don't think his veteran status should make a difference. Its typical of the media in an effort to garner up support. If it was anyone in any other station of life it would not have been as "sensational" of a news report...

Video of the incident: http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=espn:7428428 Anybody can knock anybody out at any time. It doesn't matter that they're in law enforcement or served in Iraq. Half of the cops I work with aren't even big. They can run forever, do some push ups and pull ups but that doesn't necessarily mean they don't have glass jaws. Anyway I'm glad they caught the dudes. I mean I think what happened could have went either way since the officer and vet were throwing punches as well. I don't really see much happening here. At the most the dude will get hit with court costs and probation. I'm sorry. After reading the report the guy had prior arrests and was already on probation, plus the cop he assaulted needs or needed surgery for his face. This guy will probably face a little bit of jail time unless he has an incredible lawyer. Edited January 13, 2012 by ScoreMoreThan3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some cops are dicks, some aren't. This guy is a hockey fan who did very little wrong and got beaten up for no reason. No need to change the story.

grcenter47 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 incidents like this are disgusting and makes me not want to go to games anymore. one thing is playful ribbing and teasing, but physical violence is taking it too far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where most of the people talk with hick accents even though no one else within a couple hundred mile radius does. Pretty much describes Flyers fans from NJ.. And Flyers fans in general live for the big hits their team throws around.. They cheer wildly even on bumps into the boards.. They pride themselves on being "tough and rowdy" but it's really just strength in numbers.. I will say that it's only a small percentage of the fan base that is like this, but that small percentage is a big enough bunch of idiots that they stain the whole group's name Edited January 17, 2012 by Colin226 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The townies there are among the absolute dregs of society. It's time to ban sporting events from Philadelphia. The people in that region have proven time and time again that they just can't handle it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
