Man punched for singing Coldplay song

A Coldplay fan has been beaten up following their rendition of "Yellow" in a karaoke bar.
The incident took place in Seattle on Thursday (August 9) at Changes.
As the unnamed man took the stage to sing the song, a woman reportedly declared: "Oh no, not that song. I can't stand that song!"
She then leaped at the would-be singer, shouted expletives at him and told him his singing "sucked," while expressing the same opinion of the song, according to a Seattle police report.
She pushed the man and punched him, all in an effort to stop his singing.
Other patrons went to the singer's aid and hauled the 21-year-old woman outside.
Robert Willmette, one the barmen at Changes, said: "It took three or four of us to hold her down."
According to the barman, the woman "went crazy" when she got outside, punching him twice in the face.
The police were called and blocked the whole street off.
The officers took the woman, whom Willmette described as "a little hippie girl," to the ground.
She assaulted the police officer and was booked into the King County Jail for investigation of assault, reports the Seattle P.I. paper.

She sounds completely bat**** insane. Who attacks everybody that comes to her, and takes 3 to 4 people to get her outside, all over a song she doesn't like?

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

heh,guess not everyone can be a fan of coldplay. Yllow is a song taht you should only listen to very seldomly.

 

[freelancer]

Souns to me like someone shouls use some years behind bars to cool off.
Stupid a**!

What surprises me is:

A) that the police showed up, and
B) that they blocked off the street.

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

yeah, you don't need to block the street for one person.

 

[Mr. Credible]

you know how i know that guy's gay?

he listens to coldplay.

 

[Warhammer]

Actually, I thought this was kinda funny.

You must be a gay expert. t:

 

[Spoarz™]

Her reaction seemed somewhat over the top, I must say.

 

[chamber-music]

wow. The chick was probabley dumped by her boyfriend to Coldplays yellow and now every time she hears it she goes into a beserk rage.

 

[Mr. Credible]

You must be a gay expert. t:

um... zing?

 

[R0rschach]

Ok maybe not.
I really doubt that guys gay cause he listens to Coldplay.
Do you use gaydar by any chance?

 

[antsiou]

Whoooa, I'm so proud,
only 10 post for the first Gay comment....

 

[Mr. Credible]

Ok maybe not.
I really doubt that guys gay cause he listens to Coldplay.

it was a line from the 40 year old virgin.

 

[Warhammer]

LMAO, he asked if you used gaydar.
That was just funny right there.

 

[Ghostvirus]

Jesus I can't stop laughing.

I bet that guy will never do karaoke again. A lot of people say that a certain song makes them violent. Never actually heard of anyone actually getting a violent reaction to a song they didn't like.

This is just classic. I love it!t:

I suspect like someone mentioned, she has some bad memories to that song, like some other hippie dude ****ed her and left her and said that was "their song."

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

cant say I really blame her. Coldplay really does suck and should be snuffed out wherever it rears it's ugly head.

 

[Hack and Slash]

This really amuses me.

 

[R0rschach]

it was a line from the 40 year old virgin.

Ok. :heart:

 

[jaguarr]

Well, the guy WAS singing Coldplay. Seems like justifiable violence to me.

jag

 

[terry78]

I'd do the same thing if someone started singing You Shook Me All Night Long.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

I need to get that chick's number!
