The Giants fan who was severely beaten at the end of the Dodgers home opener Thursday is a Santa Cruz paramedic and the father of two children.

Bryan Stow, 42, hit his head on the pavement during the attack and is in a medically induced coma, family members told the Santa Cruz Sentinel.

"He's not doing too well," brother-in-law David Collins told the paper. "He's still unconscious and they just decided to put him in a medically induced coma. They are hoping the brain swelling will go down, but it hasn't and they are talking about removing one of his frontal lobes."

The Los Angeles Police Department released sketches of two suspects in the attack.

The police have video AND witnesses and the perps are not in custody yet???

The attackers, "believed to be two hispanic males," are truly cowards. How about they try the same thing in San Francisco??

Please watch the video.

Tim Conway jr from Kfi had some details. Just heartbreaking. These two should be in prison.

This sounds less like “Dodger Fan hating Giants Fan” and more like “Mexican KKK hating Gringo”

[I still care]

My guess is they ran back across the border.

That is what these criminals illegals do.

Sad/angry BTTT.

[Rational Thought]

Knowing the percentages of illegals in LA, there’s a chance these punks are already south of the border.

I understand there have been other problems in the lot @ Dodger Stadium in the past even including murder.

This is a shame.

[La Enchiladita]

I believe the same.
There are hispanic “fans” who don’t want to see ANY white people at the stadium, either in the stands or on the field.
It won’t be long before they attack some of the players.

If only baseball were legal, we could regulate it and violence would never happen.

The Dopertarians say that about drugs and prostitution anyway.

This is sad, so sad. Prayers up every day for that man. The police are begging for videos taken with people’s phone cameras.

John and Ken were discussing this yesterday. There is a huge Mexican gang presence at Dodgers games. Sickening. This city is going to HELL for these damn illegals. For WHAT??? They cost us far too much to make cheap (read: slave) labor worth it.

LA's probably the safest place for them to stay. Even if they do get caught, the worst that will happen is a free trip back south to visit relatives for a little while.

Yet Philly fans are the worse for throwing snowballs at a 150lb drunk Santa. go figure.

I hope this guy makes it, and the perps go to jail for a VERY long time.

[La Enchiladita]

Everyone panders to the latinos, esp. mexicans, so they figure they own the city and can do what they want.

The Dodgers organization are pandering more than ever. They have even introduced a “Doyer Dog” at the food stands, as ridiculous as that seems.

The liberals are so damn naive. Quite a few conservatives are, too....

I stopped going to professional sporting events a long time ago due to the thug behavior of both fans and players. Thug culture disgusts me and I'm not going to support it with my hard-earned money. Sporting events stopped being family-friendly quite some time ago and it seems to be getting worse.

These perps are worse than pond scum and I hope they are captured and serve very long prison sentences. I'll bet if they are taken into custody, you will fine it's not their first brush with the law.

But another point I'd like to make it that this idiotic Dodgers-Giants rivalry is totally out of control. I've seen Dodger fans hassled and harassed both at old Candlestick and the new Pac-Bell park. So this situation with Giants-Dodgers has escalated into the insanity of a gang type thing. It's totally consistant with the mentality of the types who were the perps in this case. Because of the culture of the people involved now, what use to be a spirited but reasonable rivalry, has taken on the characteristics of a gang situation. Sad and pathetic. But not surprising to those of us who know what's going on.

Two years ago my son (who was 23 at the time) got sucker punched by an Indians fan following a game in Detroit. He had his jaw broken.

[GeronL]

They have video and released sketches?

[Yaelle]

I do not get the pandering to Latinos, though I see it every day. I love Hispanic Americans, but hate the anchor baby takeover. If I were a genie I would wish NO PUBLIC SERVICES including non-life-saving medical care AND education, for illegals. I’d also wish for $1000 fines per day per hiring an illegal, making everyone scared to hire them,and they’d self deport, and lazy Mexico would have to actually take care of their poverty like 99.99% of all countries on this earth have to do.

They cost us far too much to make cheap (read: slave) labor worth it.

Yes, and many of us have been making the same points for over 30 years. Cheap labor isn't cheap but the costs are dispersed across society so that the employers of cheap, illegal labor don't bear the total costs, the taxpayers do. This is why there are so many illegals in those states which have a big welfare structure. If an illegal comes across the border and lands a minimum wage labor job, in the very short term the employer might benefit from that person's labor. But when that same worker brings over or produces 5 or 6 kids who might just get citizenship, we have a very different situation. So the state (read taxpayer) has to pay for the schooling of the children and all the other social costs. If you check into the background of many of the gang members in California, you will find that many are the offspring of illegal immigrants. This is what's been happening in California and a number of other states in the last 40-50 years.

Yes, and if you view the TV report at the link, they even describe the neck tattoos on one of the perps. In addition, there was a female driver waiting in a car for the getaway. License plate #, anyone? Lots of witnesses, so it is known who these trash are. They are long gone and far away by now....
