I'm sure his next tat will be "AB" on his hands.

His brother lives across the street from me. See him a couple of times a year. Posted on 7/17/12 at 4:02 pm to jatebe
Yep, processed.

Those pictures remind of the Cho guy from Virgina Tech. The posing in front of a white wall, showing off guns, etc.

I don't know if it has been mentioned yet, but Kevin Sigler was one of the wounded. He is a football staff member and former player.

I'm pretty sure that dude got in my face one night at the Filling Station. My buddy went to take a leak, and leaned his stool up so no one would take it. This biker dude comes up acting like he's Clay Morrow and takes it, so I told him that my friend was sitting there and he'd be back soon. He got pissed and got up in my face, saying he'd kill me, etc. I don't know 100% that that is him, but it damn sure looks like it.

Honestly, the only issues I've ever had when out at bars in Tuscaloosa was in Temerson Square.

That's why I am at the Strip, 9 times out of 10. Houndstooth, Rooftop, Red Shed. Those are my places. Innisfree is growing on me too.
But even then you have dudes showing bartenders their dicks and idiots shooting into the air to break up fights

The Copper Top and Filling Station always had some characters there. And that was the case 6 years ago when I was in school. I don't even bother going there when back in town now.

Never had any issues down there expect for the place that used to be down the hill from there on the way to the old Chevy dealership.

You're not wrong about that. Plus for someone who lives close to campus like me, it's inconvenient to have to drive/walk downtown. I hope the University is rethinking its initiative to push all the bars down to Temerson Square.

Aside from fights, it's never been anything that deserved this much attention. This is a big first for everyone here.

Welcome to the board. I hate it was under such circumstances.

Last big thing that comes to mind from down there is the West End school deal in the 80's.

I've never had problems there period. They've already said that it had nothing to do with the venue and had more to do with the fact he was wanting suicide by cops. Like I stated early in the thread he was just fired and shite was going all kinds of wrong for him because he was doing stupid shite.
