Girls' Dad Pulls Gun on Frat Boys

A Manchester man who went to retrieve his two daughters from a party at a University of New Hampshire fraternity was arrested early yesterday morning after he pulled a handgun and told revelers to "back off."

[Poser]

The girls were 17 year old High School students who were driven to a frat party that was 40 miles from home.

You might want to change the "of" to "on."

[muawiyah]

He didn't shoot any of them dead did he?

I don't understand what's the problem here. Don't the cops know who to arrest in a kidnapping?

I think that dad is going to get filthy, stinking rich over this one.

"Don't make me out like I'm a bad guy here," Lohnes said. "I wanted to know who was hosting the underage drinking party, because my daughters are underage. When I tried to find out who was hosting the party, that's when they surrounded me."

Sounds like he pulled the gun in self defense to me.

Get a criminal AND civil good lawyer, and sue sue the pants off this town, the college, and the cops.

Not sure I can change the title, but thanks for noticing.

Some of those frats need a bullet in the leg

[Sunshine55]

If I were surrounded by a frathouse full of intoxicated college boys, I think I'd consider MYSELF threatened. He was justified in pulling the gun, in my opinion.

[muawiyah]

Somewhere near there anyway, eh?!

[Jim Noble]

He should get a medal.

[Bahbah]

He cared enough to drive there to get his daughters out of a bad situation. Give him a medal.

[martin_fierro]

Can't say I blame the guy.

[the anti-liberal]

The courts, the judge in this town- are they liberal? If so, I wonder about his chances...

[Eagles6]

Please put me on the jury. Father has charges dropped and is awarded 1 case of 9mm sjhp. Frat boys charged with kidnapping children, false imprisonment and corrupting morals of minors.

[TBarnett34]

I was guessing NY or MA. Guess NH is close enough.

Only in the Peoples' Republic of New England...

[Poser]

I'll bet the girls are in serious trouble with dad. Can you say, "grounded forever?" I knew that you could.

[bikepacker67]

He should get a medal.

Sounds like some of those arrogont lil frat punks are lucky they didn't "get a medal".

[seacapn]

Maybe. But you have to be careful in situations like those. I kept a revolver and shotgun with me in my room throughout college. An escalation could have been very ugly, especially since he brandished first.

[Bahbah]

Can you say, "grounded forever?" I knew that you could.

LOL, no doubt.

• Twin 17-year old daughters
• Drinking
• at a frathouse

Recipe for disaster.

"I kept a revolver and shotgun with me in my room throughout college..."

Damn, remind me never to visit your alma mater.
