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."

Let me see if I got this right. You're at a party enjoying yourself when two girls you don't know from a hole in the wall, come up to you and demand you drive them back home to their dad. So, if you don't drive them home, you're holding them against their will? Huh? Double huh?

[sweetliberty]

So let me see if I understand this correctly. His twin daughters who were underage and were at a drinking party, where the hosts were breaking the law by giving alcohol to minors, and to his daughters specifically; the father tries to pick his daughters up at THEIR request, tries to find out what is going on and feels threatened by a gang of drunken frat brats trying to start some sh*t, he pulls a gun, which he has a permit for, and tells them to back off. He gets in the car with his daughters and leaves WITHOUT incident, and HE is the one arrested AND has his property confiscated because, conveniently, the cops are not able to find out if he has a permit??

What I want to know is; how many of the little drunken hooligans were arrested for underage drinking and giving alcohol to minors? How about for ganging up on the dad in a threatening way?

I know. Dad probably drove an SUV, and everybody knows that when an SUV teams up with a gun, no good can come of it. < /sarcasm >

"Bureaucratic incompetence."

Or maybe he was doing the right thing by the father, to the best of his ability.

According to another story they aren't a recognized frat. Phi Kappa Theta is not a university-recognized fraternity.

Dude.

Grow up.

[Nov3]

You're right - 100% justified.

That remains to be seen.

Dad will get probation and never carry a gun again. Mark my words.

[Melas]

No moral qualms about trumped up charges against the college students? Man, that's just sick.

You've posted two "cryptic" posts....care to elaborate?

You're at a party enjoying yourself when two girls you don't know from a hole in the wall, come up to you and demand you drive them back home to their dad.

Someone brought them to the party. You are assuming that they didn't ask the person who brought them. When you cart 17 yo girls around you are repsonsible for them. When they want to go home, you take them or you are holding them against their will. If I was at that party and they asked me I would have.

Did they demand? Maybe. Did they ask. More likely. I guess it's more important to sit around and get drunk at a frat party then to take responsibility, when asked, to bring young women home.

[Melas]

They were MINORS.

They were 17. Past the age of consent in Texas. Actually, it's damned good thing this happened in NH, because I don't think Dad would have made it off campus in TX.

Since when did "he is dead meat buddy" become cryptic????care to elaborate?

"I'm in trouble."

So what else is new?

[Brad’s Gramma]

If I'm TOTALLY off-base, I apologize....

It just sounded as if YOU knew more than you were posting.

Dat's all.

Hey! Wittle ole sweet innocent MOI????

"I'd be willing to bet a substantial amount of money that they didn't look, or act, 17. I'm guessing that these young ladies have been out of control for a while, and that nearly anybody in whatever town they came from would be _more_ than happy to tell us all about it."


Exactly. These "girls' left home on the 17th. They hadn't just left that afternoon.

If that was my daughter, the headline would have read "Gir's Mother Pulls Gun on Frat Boys."

You'd better believe that if some punk convinced my daughter to go to some party, drove her 40 miles away, offered her brews, and left her stranded I would not only want to know who was throwing the beer blaster, I would want to know the name of the punk, his home phone number, and his parents' names, too!

And after I got my beloved baby girl home, I would whomp her ass, ground her for life, and never let her forget it.

Someone very dear to me was raped at party. The POS she was with spiked her cola (no, she was NOT drinking) and it ruined her for years. Yes, her parents called to make sure it was supervised, yes, they drove her there and picked her up, and yes, the party was *supposedly* chaperoned. The truth was, the "party parents" went into the city, the kids were getting drunk, and when this girl told her date she wanted to leave, he offered to drive her home early. "Let me just grab you a soda for the ride."

A soda with a date-rape drug in it. When her parents came to pick her up later, she was too devastated to say anything to them. The truth came out weeks later, when she tried to kill herself.

Folks seem to think this was just all perfectly innocent. Obviously, they don't have kids. Parents ALWAYS fear for the worst when it comes to their children, because when the stop being afraid, the WORST does happen.

Give that Dad a citation for Restraint in the Face of Extreme Provocation.

Hey Mr. Machismo. Didn't you read the story either. They called home because they wanted to leave. But, I guess the Texas Taliban gets to have say over their lowly women.

[raybbr]

It doesn't matter what they looked like. Is that justification for keeping them at the party after they asked to leave? Geez, you guys are sounding like punks. Didn't daddy ever teach you respect for women?

Dumbest FR post, ever.
