Man Smashes Liquor, Wine Bottles

The Columbus Dispatch ^ | December 18, 2001 | Matthew Marx

[Eagle Eye]

A Northwest Side man wielding a golf club smashed thousands of dollars worth of wine and liquor

What? No drinking and driving jokes?

[dighton]

... worse, give him a one-way ticket to Provo, UT ...

But he'd like Provo. Exile him to the place of his worst nightmares.

[Argh]

Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder.

I'll stick to some good old Czech beer...mmm beer

Urquell, and you're on!

P.S. = it's always nice to meet someone who has taste, instead of so many who only drink... Buttweiper.

[Snow Bunny]

Thank you CG.

[butter pecan fan]

Of course you know about the real Budweiser...Budvar from Ceske' Budejovice, it is available in some states in the US as Czechvar.

No - I've never tried it! Will have to keep an eye out.

I like the Urquell, and occasionally a Grolsch. But mostly I stick to brown bottles: McEwan's from Scotland, Newcastle Brown Ale, an occasional Guinness. Killian's is my favorite from these shores.

[nonliberal]

That's alcohol abuse!

[white rose]

Can't we press Federal charges against this menace for committing a hate crime against drunks?

$30,000 dollars worth of booze...I could cry...that could have provided me with breakfast for at least two days.

Tequila BUMP!

Tequila: In search of the blue agave

[SamAdams76]

I've tried the Czechvar - actually Budvar, but Anheuser-Busch has successfully sued to keep the "Budvar" name out of America. What a bunch of insecure, whiney bastards those A-B people are. I guess they are afraid to have Americans sample real beer. It's not bad, by the way. But I'm still partial to Pilsner-Urquell as my favorite Czech beer.

[Victoria Delsoul]

More than $50,000 worth of wine and liquor was destroyed, police estimated.

How long did it take for the police to arrive?

[WackyKat]

Can't he be prosecuted for a hate crime? After all, he "hates" alcohol, doesn't he? Where's the justice?

[AnnO]

I also live in the area and know of someone in the store at the time and it was very violent and employees were hiding praying for the police to arrive soon. The man is a Muslim and what worries me is that the local media is walking on eggs not to name the specific religion of this man. I understand all the hate crime stuff but really we are in deep voodoo if we have to be so touchy feely constantly.

[Cool Guy]

Anytime, Snow Bunny!

[NoCurrentFreeperByThatName]

He should be charged with a hate crime.

I've noticed the Dispatch take a decided turn to the left in recent years.

BTTT

[riley1992]

I had nightmares about this. I just knew I would.
