Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Thoughtcrime: Serious question: Is that a serious enough attack to draw and shoot? That entirely depends on how you're asking the question. In reality? It could easily be, and there's a good chance we couldn't know if it is or is not. People watch too much TV and UFC and sport fighting. Getting hit in the head is serious business.

Chaos Erupts At Busch Gardens As A Violent Brawl Breaks Out In Line Kelly Coffey-Behrens April 29, 2024 at 10:45 AM·4 min read Visitors at Busch Gardens Williamsburg witnessed a violent altercation among parkgoers while in line for one of its rides. Bystanders captured footage of the intense brawl, which quickly went viral on social media. Police are investigating the physical altercation that occurred between two groups of people while in line for the Pantheon. Video footage of the fight quickly made its rounds on social media, which shows an older gentleman wearing a fanny pack and khaki shorts getting beaten up by at least three other individuals. The clip begins by showing the older gentleman trying to protect his head as he attempts to get away from the other men, who are clearly much younger than the victim. At one point, the older gentleman frees himself while bystanders try to block the path, so the group of men cannot continue to attack. However, one of the individuals jumps over the railing and begins to punch the older man in the head multiple times. The bystanders could not hold the rest of the group back, and they came back in, swinging and punching the man in the back of the head as he tried to duck and protect himself the best he could. According to 10 On Your Side, the incident occurred around 5:30 p.m. when the James City County Police Department responded to a physical altercation between two groups of people in line for the Pantheon. Authorities have identified multiple suspects; however, no charges have been filed, and no arrests have been made. Those who sustained injuries received medical attention from the medical staff at Busch Gardens. The altercation is currently under investigation.

Wife absolutely had to go one year around 2010. I warned her ahead of time what it's known for. She thought I was making shit up. We weren't there 20 minutes before we saw one large group of yoots running chasing some other guy. First ride we went on, 2 black girls around 16 came running down the stairway that went up to the ride. 1 got tackled by a police officer. Next roller coaster, the coaster is nearing the station and you can hear yelling. There's 2 different black girls trying to turn around and scream at another one 3-4 rows behind. When the safety bars came up, 5 of them started fighting literally in front of everyone. This kind of shit went on the entire time. It was always a certain demographic. |

There is no way the mystery Twitter post with no user name is 100% truthful. The ban from the park would be an administrative decision made after the fact, and would not be immediately communicated to "witnesses."
It's not like security is going to roll up and say "oy, violation of rule 13, everyone. This guy is banned for a year." |

Basically a guy shot two dudes threatening to attack him and continued to advance despite the fact the guy drew his weapon. Prosecutor charged him because the attackers were unarmed. Judge ruled it self defense in the SYG hearing. If I’m remembering correctly the judge even said in his ruling the prosecutor should never have charged the defendant and recommend the prosecutor read the statute because it didn’t appear he understood the law as written. Prosecutor claimed he would try to overturn the judges SYG ruling. |

In the 90’s I was at Six Flags over Georgia. Atlanta. We waited nearly an hour to get on o e if the newest rollercoasters . Nearing the area to finally get on a large group of inspiring rap stars (15 or so ) just walked up and cut in front of everyone. A pale lady called them out on it. Said you should wait your turn in line like everyone else. They stomped mud hole in her ass and her two daughters that was trying to save her. I can say I was frozen in shock. It happened so fast. I think about it from time to time about how I froze up. I was mid 20’s. Yes I would have gotten beaten down also. Two many. It looked like shit from a third world country in Africa. Security was called. They all ran off. It lasted probably 1 minute. She crawled under the metal rails for the line passage to get away. I never been back. Wardawg

The word of the day is:
Fab·u·list noun a person who composes or relates fables. a liar, especially a person who invents elaborate, dishonest stories. "a born fabulist, with an imagination unfettered by the laws of logic and probability" Many of these occurrences are accompanied by a double-secret eyewitness who is always there, and always happens to find the social media account to Correct The Record™, never has counter video, and always sides with the miscreants. |
