Jets fan arrested for cheering at Chargers game (UPDATE with Colts' game bust)

[Bob Cook]

If being an obnoxious asshole at a game is a criminal offense, then you might as well put prison bars up at every stadium and field in America, right down to Little League.

Nice touch by the unidentified Chargers fan who shouts "ATTICA! ATTICA!" as police are subduing the Jets fan.

I have no idea what happened in the missing part of the video, but the best thing about it was clicking on the link and under "related videos" the top one was, "New England Patriots Mascot Arrested in Sex Sting."

Please. Also, make yelling "Three seconds!" at a basketball game a $750 fine.

Or get the refs to call it

There's a break in the video from when they first show him to when he was being arrested. I think it is a decent bet that he did something more than just cheering during that break.

Or sentence the people who yell it to attend a referee's training course.

Since when did Roy Williams become coach of the Chargers?

Police come off as the bad guys in this one.
Alleged perp had lots of supporters, it seems from the video.
Pretty bad deal for the two Jets fans.

Yeah, because no fans ever cheer for their teams, except those dastardly Noo Yawkers.

At first, I wondered if the guy was arrested for his own protection . . . but it's not like he's at a Raider game.

I actually wondered, too, if the cops were doing the guy a favor. He seemed pretty intent on inciting the people around him.

It doesn't matter that he didn't do anything. He's going to be charged with resisting arrest. Sort of sucks. It was nice the Chargers fans stuck up for him.

If so, then why do you suppose the Charger fans around him were defending him and repeatedly telling the cops that "he didn't do anything"?

Re: Jets fan arrested for cheering at Chargers game

Man, that one Charger fan was awesome "Thanks for wasting my tax dollars! He didn't do a ****ing thing!"

If that guy really was doing nothing than cheering for the Jets in an obnoxious way, those cops should be fired.

The cop "who wanted to talk outside" should--and will--get it the worst.

Look at the couple behind the man who stopped the wife to exchange #'s. They're dressed in Charger blue and look like the All-American suburban couple. That's all I need to see to know that this guy was railroaded.

Re: Jets fan arrested for cheering at Chargers game

Yea, gotta love when cops arrest a second guy for questioning the ****ty job they just did.

 

[lone star scribe]

Re: Jets fan arrested for cheering at Chargers game

How was the guy resisting? The cops bent him over double to put cuffs on him. I counted four with hands on him. Must have been one big-time badass.

And did anyone else think he bore more than passing resemblance to Joe Namath?

And this has me really worried. I'm supposed to attend an NBA game this weekend with family who root for the visiting team. Should I bring bail money?

This post alone reminded me that I don't have any interest in covering high school basketball anymore.

"Three seconds! Three seconds!"

Parents are annoying as hell.

Wow, that was bad. Those cops come off looking like Rambo-style bullies abusing their power.
