Church Deacon, OU Fan Tears Scrotum Of UT Fan In Bar Fight

[sanctus]

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. -- Aggravated assault charges have been filed against a church deacon and University of Oklahoma Sooners fan after officials say he grabbed a University of Texas fan between the legs during a scuffle in an Oklahoma bar.

A couple of months before the annual Red River Shootout between the Sooners and Longhorns, words were exchanged at Henry Hudson's Pub between Allen Beckett, 53, and Brian Thomas. Witnesses said it was because Thomas was wearing a UT T-shirt.


Neither Thomas or Beckett chose to comment, but the police report described what happened to the victim, including graphic details about his injuries that included a torn scrotal sack with partially exposed testicles.

Beckett's attorney, Billy Bock, said his client's actions were in self-defense.

"Sure, he's an OU fan. Not necessarily an overboard die-hard OU fan, but he certainly admits he said something in a joking fashion to the guy about his Texas T-shirt. The guy got offended. He said he was sorry," said Bock.

Bock said the apology apparently wasn't enough for the Texas fan and the man then approached his client. He said his client then grabbed the man in self-defense.

"The guy came over his other shoulder, and basically said, 'I'm getting ready to kick your you-know-what.' He said he felt threatened and he did what he thought he needed to do and grabbed him and left the bar," said Bock.

Bock adds that his client isn't a hardened criminal, but is a church deacon who makes his living as a government auditor who had gone to the bar that night for one reason -- to play darts.

This explains the scrotal attack...force of habit.

Curious the fascination that church folk have for genitalia...

Catholics have demonstrated their preferences....

It's a matter of public record.

nothin like a good old fashioned sack tearin' to start the night off right.

the fact that the Deacon managed to get a good enough grip on the testes to tear the sack leads me to two conclusions.
1) The deacon must have been purposefully going for the nuts. Lame.
2) The guy must have been wearing some pretty loose pants.

This is the sort of thing they teach in one hour self defense courses isn't it?

I think the man is just lucky it was a church deacon and not a rancher he had the fight with, or else he might have found the missing appendage served to him for breakfast the next day;-):lol:

Niflmir, that's a good point. Plenty of people are taught to attack vulnerabilities when fighting.

Frankly, it seems to me the fact that the man was a deacon, and that people are fascinated with testicles, is the only thing that makes this news worthy. I've seen so much worse injuries in bar scuffles, that never make it to the news. That this warrants coverage is ridiculous. Bar scuffle results in injury. *YAWN*

I just realized that I could easily be accused of ignoring my pet cause with my breezing through this thread. ANd it may be fresh in a few people's minds what with the 'soapbox' thread being so recent and all. So, I guess I'd better say... "It is my view that no religion or person should be allowed to interfere with the genital integrity of any other human being."

But I still don't find the thread newsworthy. LOL.

 

[hermanntrude]

come on... if it has a deacon and some testicles mentioned in the same sentence... surely that gets it at least a passing mention in the news?

seriously, though, I'd expect better of a deacon than to get involved in a brawl

That's a dangerous expectation. Expecting anyone in this world to be anything less than a flawed human is what leads to problems like those the church has had with its priests, or that countries have had when being marched off to war by madmen.
