You don't say.
Afterward, the defense attorney suggested race fueled the fracas, offering that Raymond Hall and others took umbrage when her client, a black man, tried to dance with Hall's wife.
What's race got to do with it? I would "take umbrage" if any man tried to dance with my wife -- I don't care what race he is!
My wife's an adult.. she can and does make such decisions completely on her own..
I don't always feel like dancing... and I trust her to dance, and not skip off to the parking lot with some bozo..
If there are any transgressions, she will probably deal with it herself, right there on the dance floor..
And if somebody has a problem "taking NO for an answer", I'm more than willing (and able) to make her answer clear..
(again, if she needs it)
I once watched her drop a 200 pounder with a knee to the crotch, for trying to check her bra size..
(ouch!!!)
I don't have to read very far between the lines to realize that this was probably a singles bar of some sort.
You wouldn't take your wife in there in the first place.
