Stay Classy Los Angeles


Dodgers owner Frank McCourt has filed a civil suit against the two Dodger fans that are accused of beating Brian Stow.  The complaint argues that the two should be held partially liable for the attack, but also claims that Stow himself shares the blame.  While referring to the Stow family's civil suit against McCourt and the Dodgers, McCourt's attorney Jerome Jackson asked, "..does it mean Mr. Stow himself has no liability?"   Here is a portion of the LAPD's description of the attack.
Stow was leaving Dodger Stadium along with several of his friends, following the conclusion of the Los Angeles Dodgers vs. the San Francisco Giants baseball game. The two suspects, who were wearing Dodger attire, began taunting the victims because of their affiliation with the San Francisco Giants. As the victim and his friends attempted to walk away from the suspects, the victim was hit from behind and fell to the ground. The suspects then kicked the victim as he lay on the ground.
How do you place blame on a man who was sucker punched and nearly killed?  Ask the Dodgers.

Luckily, Brian Stow is slowly recovering.
