Naughty language in this article.

If it is true, is it being followed up on?

dunno . . . but the girl in the ad looks like she has a black eye--what a stupid effect!

I would've thought you would stick up for one of your fellow long-haired hippy friends.

Oh, wait. The ad on top of the web page. :lol:

I really did think you were talking about the guy's picture. Doh.

*sigh* And yet, when I was being harassed and sworn at and threatened by some teenagers who were illegally smoking on the train because I asked them not to do it around me (asthmatic) and my infant daughter, and they actually followed me off the train and onto another one, there wasn't a DART cop in sight.

Hmmm, I don't know anything about this particular incident. However, the Dallas Observer is not known for its quality reporting. It's a free newspaper that hires amateur reporters. The reporters sensationalize every story in order to build a name for themselves. Sometimes it's a nice counterbalance to the major papers over here, but I tend to be somewhat skeptical of their stories.

from the article:
Lyon couldn't afford to bond out of jail. After 11 days, a public defender told him the only way she could get him out was for him to enter a no-contest--in other words, guilty--plea on the charges against him. He did it.
