Sounds to me like Rocker was trying to walk away and the gays in the restaurant were egging him on to say something....
Those HOMO-punks were just doggin' him ... hoping he'd lose it so they could sic their liberal
laaw-ya pals on him and go for the big lawsuit.
Of course he does seem to have a rather short fuse, but sounds like he handled the situation pretty well, all considered ... other than making the apology. ugh!!!
