Mark Ball, 50, was charged in connection with the beating of a tourist near the Lyric Opera in late May. Stagehands intervened and helped the injured victim. | Mugshot provided by the Cook County Sheriff's Office

No mention of the victim's race. Knockout game? Robbery apparently wasn't the motivation.

I'm glad that Mr. Hartge took the time to get involved.

// “He just walked away like nothing had happened,” Hartge said of Ball, who was dressed in brown pants, a brown shirt and a brown hat and had a traveling bag with him. //

What can brown do for you?

I knew even without the picture. Whenever there’s a “random attack” for “no apparent reason,” it’s race-related. And when race is carefully not mentioned, the perp is black.

Good job Lyric guys!

yeah perp probably didn’t like white men drinking starbucks

I walked into an urban court house and spoke to one of the security guards who glared at me resentfully and refused to banter like the others..........treated me like I am his oppressor

‘scuse me but I believe my tax dollars go into the pot that his checks come from, how is that an oppressor

“Police say Mark Ball, 50, allegedly began beating a 27-year-old Boston man...near 20 W. Wacker...”

Is this a joke or is truth stranger than fiction?

Generally, the stage hands are the only group of straight men at any major opera house. They are also guys with a background in construction and electrical contracting. They are the opposite of most of the homos and lefty artsy types and frequently hang a flag backstage to stick it in their faces.
