“Yep, multiple altercations with security forces – the guy charging up the stairs went into his own “roids rage”, tearing the signs out of our hands while yelling and screaming about us ignoring him. The fans nearby couldn’t believe how ridiculous the security was, as if they are protecting the Pope or something.

My first set of signs was “Manny Night” and “Free Syringes” ackowledging the previous roids event at Petco Park with Barry Bonds when a fan threw a syringe on the field at him.

But a security guy pops out of the dugout and runs over to grab just my ’syringe’ sign, so now I have just the ‘Manny Night’ sign to work with.

The lady in front of me starts whining about being allergic to ink smell (????) and wants me to stop writing a new sign, so I do, but she reports me to security anyway.

I finish the second set, and up they go, but by now the pro-Dodger security staff is all over us. Never did I curse, disrespect, or get beligerent, but the Padres staff insisted on constantly violating my rights to express myself.

And yes, Fonzie authorized this message”

Oh, and I’m no fan of Busby, either.

Still, wrong is wrong; and that neighbor was very wrong.

doug r,

The sheriff really went overboard on that call, and has no business working in law enforcement, IMHO.

The entire episode was the result of a disgruntled neighbor (homophobe and apparently anti-Busby) who kept making multiple 911 calls in order to interrupt her fundraiser. The 911 caller needs to be put in jail and fined for all the public resources he wasted.

I, too, got distracted by the placards and forgot to wish your mom a very happy birthday…

Happy Birthday, Mrs. Klinge!!!

Don’t get too rowdy, the SD sheriff’s deputies might have to strong arm you like they did these middle-aged women at a fundraiser:
