After the Houston Rockets beat the New Orleans Pelicans last weekend, a fan sucker punched one of the Pelicans' assistant coaches courtside...

quote:
Manuel Garcia, 38, was arrested and charged with misdemeanor assault. He is suspected of punching Joe Boylan. Garcia's girlfriend, Brittney Aplin, 33, was also arrested for allegedly preventing police from getting to Garcia.

The Rockets have since banned the fan for life.

On Monday, the Pelicans issued a statement, saying: "We are aware of this incident but will have no further comment."

Also on Monday, Harris County District Attorney's Office prosecutor Nathan Beedle said he won't speculate on a motive but added, "We will get to the bottom of this and hold them both accountable for their actions."

And if you break the law, should ICE ship you back to Ireland? Most ignorant post I’ve seen in a long time.

Talk about a racist POS! He's latino thus he must be illegal, a gang member and a tamale. Inbred hatred is rampart in LeoLand! And he plays to it on almost a daily basis.

Reason 1,000,000,000,000 DFW > Houston

mr bunion•54 months

They both suck

justustm2•54 months

HUH? Because a crazy fan hit a coach? That could't have happened in DFW? Or was it because of the ethnicity of the fan? If so, you don't think a crazy white guy could have done the same? Or does his ethnicity help support your biased opinion of Mexicans? Could it be his ethnicity had nothing to do with his behavior. What about his Caucasian lady? Does her ethnicity play a role in it?

Gotta love mexico north.

justustm2•54 months

The last I heard Houston was the largest city in the State of Texas located in the United States of America. Because he is Latino, Mexico is to blame? Are you certain he has even ever been to Mexico or that he is even of Mexican descent? Hate rots the brain.
