Greetings fellow Bizarros:

Gun control, or "gun safety" as the administration is now calling it, is apparently a hot topic. I don't think I have gotten a single comment in the last week that hasn't been about gun control. So the comments at the bottom of the page might seem a bit monotonous to you, but perhaps this little adventure will give you something new to talk about.

Last Saturday night surveillance video showed a crowd of about 200 people gathered for a baby shower when a beer bottle flew past a man's head and nearly hit a bartender as the event erupted into a melee.

Police are investigating whether alcohol was a primary factor in the brawl, which really shouldn't be a mystery since the whole affair started with a beer bottle. Police said the brawl put children at risk and required about 30 police officers to break it up. Four police officers suffered minor injuries.

Nuno Silva, a 14-year member and former vice president of the Club Luis de Camoes in Stoughton, MA where the fight occurred, said he has never heard of anything like it before.

The club rented the Porter Street function hall to a family from Brockton for the shower, who police said were not compliant when they responded.

Three men arrested in the melee pleaded not guilty at Stoughton District Court. A 14-year-old also was arrested. He was to be arraigned this week in juvenile court.

All four were charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and assault and battery on a police officer.

Bizarrely,
Lewis

*-- Man gave wedgies for YouTube video --*
BRADENTON, Fla. - Police in Florida said they arrested a YouTube prankster accused of giving wedgies to strangers at a movie theater. Manatee County sheriff's deputies said Charles Ross, 18, of Bradenton, and a friend went to the Royal Palm Theater Sunday night and Ross began giving wedgies to strangers while his friend took video footage, the Bradenton Herald reported Tuesday. Deputies said most of the alleged victims were too embarrassed to press charges, but one said charges would be filed. Investigators said Ross is known by local law enforcement for pranks he pulls for his YouTube videos. Ross and his friend were ejected from the theater and told they would be arrested if they returned. The camera was seized as evidence.


*-- Swedes shed pants to ride trains --*
STOCKHOLM, Sweden - More than 100 people in Stockholm, Sweden, shed their trousers in cold weather for the annual No Pants Subway Ride. Betty Jarra, an organizer of the event, said the underdressed people on the commuter trains Sunday were taking part in what has become an annual tradition, The Local.se reported Monday. "It's always been a success since we started with just eight people back in 2009. And it works because it makes people happy, and it gets them to react. It doesn't matter how they react -- as long as they do," Jarra said. "People get engaged more than they usually do in Stockholm and we think that's important," she said. The event was inspired by a New York tradition, started in 2002 by performance group Improv Everywhere. There are now No Pants Subway Rides in 60 cities around the world.

How is utopia doing these days? If you think making something illegal means it will cease to exist, you must live in a magical land. I have been a Bizarre news subscriber and reader since almost the beginning. I am now a former subscriber. Enjoy your time in la-la land. Those of us that live in the real world have better things to do than read a has been.

Lewis, you are being unrealistic. Do you recall prohibition? All alcohol was banned, it did not work.
[Yeah, but you can't make an assault rifle out of corn mash in your bathtub.]

Yes, if all guns were illegal, nobody would have them (like crack cocaine, heroin, and other illegal substances). The right to bear arms is to protect us from our own police and military. -Bob
[Right you are...which is why I suggested disarming everybody. Plus, I would legalize drugs.]
