Skateboard attack video yesterday - Guy is dead in the news
 

It's all Tony Hawks fault

One blow changed so many lives.

People have got to stop believing what they see in the movies where some guy like Bruce Willis takes a shot across the face with a bat from the bad guy only to wake up an hour later with a hot looking chick washing his face with a cold wash cloth.

Don't think that is the same incident

I think Wee Man did it.. he is the same heighth..lol

:1orglaugh

what a sad world we live in :(

Those punks will get off...

They will sue Tony Hawke and the Skateboard manufacturer.

Its the American way afterall :Graucho

Arrests made in skateboard attack

Saturday, April 13, 2002



so this was last year sometime then?

Investigators believe Timothy R. Strano, 21, of Seattle, is the one responsible for the fatal blow to Andrews' head, Fish said.


Im sure they would be sure if this incedent was taped - there have been more than one incidents like this.

:(

err my friend told me it was that cauz he knew the video ... Dunno maybe not but anyways :)

Does this have anything to do with that video posted not long ago about that CRAZY mofo slammin people with his board on tape???

sick...

i hope that motherfucker gets the chair

the guy in the video wasn't hit from behind

The chair is to easy for a punk like that. He needs to be turned into cell block Ds little bitch whore. A steady diet of cum from 10 prisoners will be a good punishment for him.

this wasnt even a fucking ghetto

some privledged hardasses trying to act smart

fuck that pussy motherfucker

and yea, he was hit from behind after he got clocked in the side of the head

Too bad it didnt happen in TX, that fucker would get the death penalty.

That really sucks, I hope he dies.

i hope they get it bad in jail


that shit pissed me off so bad it wasn't funny

That is lame, people need to stop and think before reacting to situations like that, there is no reason to beat a man for getting out of his car because he's a bit pissed, although I don't know the whole story.

The other night after a party we were on our way home, and saw a drunken 15 person brawl right in the middle of the intersection, everybody was watching. One guy went for a guy with a full bottle of vodka ( a big one) an was going to bash his head with it. He quickly thought and smashed it on the ground and got his ass kicked, in my eyes, thats better then a possible homicide or serious injury to somebody, everybody was too drunk anyways to beat anybody up badly with their fists.

Of course I am no better just telling my boyfriend to pull over so we can watch instead of slowly going through the intersection, but hey, I was excited!

That article is from 2002.

I am sure that guy is getting punked in prison by now.

Did you learn that cool word from Ashton Kutcher? :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

NAh sorry I learned it long before Ashton Kutcher started punking your ass.

:sleep

My cousin was attacked a couple months ago by 4 guys. Smacked upside the head with a bottle and knocked half of his teeth out.

Some people are just retarded.

The cool way to say it is "Punk'd" :winkwink:

Damn that has to suck. Did they catch the guys?

hitting someone with a skateboard and hitting someone from behind are both such punk ass things to do.

worst. comeback. ever.

that's fucking nuts

:321GFY

me neither

:winkwink: :winkwink:

Yup completely pointless, I have seen some pretty bad fights and some bad outcomes for sure. Being hit from behind is the worst or being hit by a bottle or anything of the sorts. At least nothing more serious happened to him

Nope two different incidents :winkwink:

And these guys call themselves fucking skaters, fuck that shit! I hope this guy rots in prison, or better yet, hit him on the head with a fatal blow!

jDoG

I can't stand these fuckheads that can't defend themselves hand to hand! It's pussy like to use a skateboard and slam it up against the guys head! Fucking use your fist people if you're going to fight!

jDoG

I think this guy will be away for many years - but I think the ones who stand beside and haven't helped the other at all should also go for some days. Probably this will give them a thinking of what the have done

err no. Sign up sucks

The video is from South Padre Island, Texas.

I know the strip from shooting tons of Spring Break content.

I'll try that again

Skateboarder pleads guilty in fatal U District attack

A 23-year-old who used his skateboard to beat a man who died a few days later pleaded guilty yesterday to first-degree manslaughter.

Timothy R. Strano entered an Alford plea in King County Superior Court, meaning he did not admit to hitting 33-year-old Demetri Andrews but acknowledged that a jury would probably find him guilty.

The incident, which occurred in Seattle's University District in April, stemmed from a traffic dispute.

Andrews, of Renton, was driving home with his girlfriend after an evening lecture when Strano and another skateboarder cut him off at the intersection of Northeast 45th Street and University Way Northeast, according to charging papers.

Words were exchanged, and Andrews got out and argued with Strano's companion, who pushed Andrews to the ground, prosecutors say. Strano swung at him "with all his might," according to one witness, and then ran, charging papers say.

Andrews, a real-estate agent, construction worker and father to a 6-year-old son, slipped into a coma the next day and died two days later.

In court yesterday, Strano was escorted past Andrews' mother, Rothopi Andrews, who shouted at him.

Prosecutors originally charged Strano with second-degree murder, but Senior Deputy Prosecutor Steve Fogg said the charge was changed because of a recent state Supreme Court decision saying a person can't be convicted of murder if the death was the unintended result of an assault.

Prosecutors decried the state Supreme Court ruling ? saying it could potentially affect hundreds of cases ? and have asked the court to reconsider. Strano, who would have faced a standard sentence of just over 10 years to more than 18 years if convicted of second-degree murder, now probably faces 6-½ to 8-½ years behind bars.




"A few years is not worth my son's life," Andrews' mother said after the hearing. "... Where is the justice for my boy?" Andrews was a Mercer Island High School graduate who remained friends with his classmates, was active in the local Greek community and helped out at his family's restaurant, Niko's Place, across from KeyArena. The family sold the business after Andrews' death.

ummm, hold up. Some guy, skate into the street causing a guy to brake.

Instead of driving off he <b>exits the vehicle to confront them?</b>

Note: it only says 'investigation of homicide' how do you people know they weren't defending themselves from a road rage maniac?

He jumped out of his vehicle for what reason again?

Confrontation?

Here in LA, if you jump out of your car to 'confront' someone because of braking, you better have a gun or be wearing a vest.

He's lucky they only used a concave piece of wood with wheels to beat his ass.

He would have had 12 holes in his head, face, and chest if he pulled that shit here.

WTF is with all the pussies that just stand around and watch this dude get beat down with a skateboard. I would have fucked some shit up, or at least tried to help the guy.

Skateboards are lethal weapon that should not be in the hand's of minors!

Fletch no offence to you, but you live in a very sad part of the world if people are willing to do that over something so trivial.

DH

That is so true. I hate fist fight scenes in movies where the fight goes on and on when in real life just one of the blows would have broken the guy's jaw or knocked him out.

The most ridiculous fist fight scene of all time is in the sci-fi movie "They Live." Both men walk away basically unharmed, when in reality they'd be dead.
