No doubt the authorities will add this to the "gun violence" tally. Had it been a baseball bat.....meh. So, had the doc had his own gun, might things have turned out different? Is he a "docs against glocks" guy? Did the perps know who he was and were they seeing if he was THE Bruce Lee. In any case, hope you make a full recovery doc and, buy a gun.

Venice Beach was warm and festive when Dr. Bruce Lee...

I had no idea he had finished college...

Pretty standard strong armed robbery attempt here. He would be dead if the perp wanted him dead.

Oh my goodness, this writer sounds like she is writing a novel. Give me a break, who wants to hear about the interior of his car and his shoes, etc. Why doesn’t she tell us what he was thinking.... yikes, but this is bad reporting.

“absorbed the mood, relaxed and happy, as he slid behind the wheel of his green BMW 750. The plush beige leather seats cushioned him as he stretched back...”

This story is written like a pulp fiction novel.

Horribly written article. It bounces around so much I gave up trying to read it.

Not gonna mess with anyone that kicks Bruce Lee’s azz.

“Police say a large population of homeless and mentally ill in the vicinity may have been a contributing factor to the incident. “We don’t know what the motivation was in this case,” says Officer Theodore Bridges, of the LAPD’s Pacific Division, “But there was a dispute and unfortunately Mr. Lee was beaten pretty badly.”

If his passenger door had been locked...this might have not happened.

[Cowboy Bob]

The journolist who wrote this must be some frustrated novelist.

[TexasGator]

In his state of mInd having a gun would have been a liability.

[Terry L Smith]

There is no flowery language of those truly accosted.

This smells of a failed ‘noir’ setting.

"Venice Beach was warm and festive when Dr. Bruce Lee left the Townhouse bar and restaurant and walked across Windward Avenue toward his car."

This sentence is just pregnant with irony. Bruce Lee walked Windward? Perfect.

This reporter thinks he’s Hemingway in lingerie

Jesus

[CreviceTool]

It is this kind of goofy reporting that drives the locals to Venice311.org and @Venice311 on Twitter with 122,000 followers to get the story.

Hey Doc, blame yourself, quit hanging around in Amish bars. /s

I propose a Godwin type law. Every thread about violence shall continue until sombody mentions the Amish.
