Members Beck Posted September 26, 2009 Members Share Posted September 26, 2009 Holy {censored}!!! The women punched, kicked and pulled Alcantra's hair, according to police. Scary people. The victim: Hope the six get jail time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gabriel E. Posted September 27, 2009 Members Share Posted September 27, 2009 Hey, that's awesome! I work with a lot of people from Stamford and Port Chester. I'll have to ask around and see if anyone knew the victim or her assailants. Something just feels right about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members spokenward Posted September 27, 2009 Members Share Posted September 27, 2009 I'm just glad they told us what song started the fight - The alleged victim, 25-year-old Leidy Alcantara, was singing "A Dios Le Pido" by Colombian singer Juanes (YouTube) when the suspects started accosting her."I was singing the song in Spanish, and some girl said I was very annoying," Alcantara told the New York Daily News.

Members flatfinger Posted September 29, 2009 Members Share Posted September 29, 2009 Perhaps the owner of that establishment can enhance the security measures; or at least install some chicken wire ala Blues Brothers!! The advantage of a live act is you at least have a guitar ( or a drum stick ?) to swing back at them with !!! I guess the keyboard player is pretty defensless though ( they usually are !)

Members blue2blue Posted September 29, 2009 Members Share Posted September 29, 2009 Had the colors been reversed, this would have been classed as a racially motivated hate-crime. Says who? ___________ This cowardly attack is just one more reflection of the apparent death of any kind of honor or sense of fairplay in fighting. Or maybe that stuff never really existed. I can tell you for sure that when I used to get beat up in junior high in the early mid 60s, it was typically by more than one person, often jocks. Many of the jocks at my junior high and high school seemed to have virtually no sense of one-on-one fairplay. It was always a dogpile with them. That was at an all white school but I'm afraid this is pandemic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the keyboard player is pretty defensless though ( they usually are !) The sole advantage of those silly sling-them-over-your-shoulder strapped keyboards that had a brief and small popularity in the 80s. Some of them had a little 'neck' or handle that stuck out... perfect for jabbing or grabbing as a handle for a swinging defense. So to speak.

Gus Lozada Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I guess the keyboard player is pretty defensless though ( they usually are !) In the old times we had tons and tons of floppy disks available... You could use them as lethal ninja shurikens ... these days, however, I guess we're really defenseless * Note to blue2blue: A keyboardist who respects to himself does not use portable / strap-on keyboards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gus Lozada Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I'm just glad they told us what song started the fight - A dios le pido, by Juanes - A couple of years ago I visited Medellin, Colombia, where Juanes was born. As usual, I asked the band at the pub to let me sing with them... and they asked me to sing this same song If the mexican -that was me- commited a mistake while singing one of Juanes' greatest hits right at his birth town to a very drunk audience, the consequences would had been quite similar to what we're reading in this article Fortunately, I survived Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kurfu Posted September 30, 2009 Members Share Posted September 30, 2009 Says who? C"mon, now... If it had six white chicks that attacked a single black chick while complaining that the black chicks use of Ebonics while singing was "annoying", you know damn well that the media would have been all over this like flies on {censored}.
