*laughs*

Okay, yes, violence isn't the answer... and, no, I do suppose that stabbing the man was a bit much for the provocation... but you have to laugh at his story:

"It was a hate crime against a straight man by a ton of lesbians

Or, as the Daily News reports it, "a gang of petite lesbians".

Frankly, I trust the cops and bystanders a bit more than the man who claims he was jumped for simply saying "Excuse me, how are you doing?"

God, those poor straight men. Isn't it bad enough that there are women who don't want to sleep with them?

...Sorry, I'll clean that up.

Somehow I agree with you that the bystander testimony in this case is likely to be a bit more reliable than that of the victim. I also agree with you that stabbing him was a bit much; I'm a big fan of physical communication, but in this case I think a knee to the groin would have been much more appropriate.

But, as you also say, it is to laugh.

best,

Joel
