OKLAHOMA CITY Police say a fight over Star Trek and Star Wars led to an assault in the metro.
Jerome Dewayne Whyte, 23, was arrested July 1 on a complaint of assault and battery, possession of marijuana and outstanding Oklahoma County warrants.
Oklahoma City Police Department reports show that Whyte and another man were in the living room of an apartment in the 1400 block of NW 16 Street when they began arguing if Star Wars or Star Trek was better. The victim told police he became frustrated and stated "You're just a trick" before walking back to his room.

One look can tell you that this boy has got a lot of problems, and only a few have to do with Star Trek.
His brain seems not to have evolved enough to be out in public by himself.

We don’t know the color of the victim, so can’t determine if it was a Whyte on Black crime.

I agree, this has little to do with Star Trek. It is inevitable that one will become mentally disturbed attempting to be a fan of indefensible Star Wars dreck.

I am reminded of the debate of the Bible wherein Charles Manson assaulted a fellow prisoner.
Everyone’s got their religion to defend.

"You're just a trick" Yes. I'm sure that's what he said.

I’ve heard of such fights over which Van Halen was better, David Lee Roth’s or Sammy Hagar.

pfffft.
I can understand this.
Everyone know Star Wars is fake and Star Trek is real.
To: Egon
Who knew “trick” was as bad as the n-word. Now I know.

No reason to fight, Star Trek TOS is superior.
Without Star Trek, there is no Star Wars.

I disagree. The progenitors of the core of Star Wars are Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers. That does not take away from either work, but they really are essentially different.
