Third one is mislabeled...

[ctrlalttabby]

Kid is *vomited on* at a ball game... apparently a fan induced vomiting and proceeded to share with the people around him.

I maintain that I'm with my rights to refer to a 21 year old as a 'kid', especially when he's binge drinking at a baseball game and obviously can't hold his alcohol.

I'm not entirely convinced that the vomiting was self-induced (unless being too drunk for his stomach to stand counts as 'self-induced'). I don't think the father (and cop) who's pissed off at rowdy drunk boys who're ruining the ballgame experience for him and his daughters makes for a suitably impartial witness. Occam's razor doesn't mind at all the idea that the man didn't actually see what he's claiming (and might actually believe) he saw.

had to put my two cents in,,

according to news, the guy was witnessed putting his fingers down his throat to induce the vomiting.

True, but I also don't trust much of what I see in the news (especially televised news) without citations. Someone told me that there's actually video of the alleged induced vomiting, but I haven't seen it. All I've seen for evidence in the news stories I've seen is the father's version of events, and he's hardly an unbiased source. I certainly don't deny that the drunk was an idiot and juvenile, but my question is exactly how much of an idiot and juvenile he was, you know?
