Crime When Splash Fights Go Bad

According to a recently released police report, problems at Green Lake are no longer limited the occasional visible penis.

According to somewhat-sketchy details from a heavily-redacted police report, four young adults told police they were swimming near the Bathhouse Theater at Green Lake Park on July 21st around 10:00 p.m., when “someone from a group of about 14 other people threw a beer can at someone.” A fight broke out and, the report says, an 18-year-old male struck three of the witnesses in the face, knocking one of the young men unconscious. Another woman in the group was also struck in the face by an unidentified assailant.

According the report, the large group later retreated to a house party in the area but police were able to identify a suspect after one of the teens told police they recognized the 18-year-old assailant from their high school.

When police contacted the 18-year-old, he told officers he had been swimming but suspiciously noted he hadn’t touched “him," prior to officers identifying the victim of the assault. The young man further stated that he had a bunch of witnesses that could testify his non-involvement in the fight. The case remains open and no one has been arrested.

if a witness gets knocked out by an assailant - they're now a victim.

According to me, you forgot to start the last paragraph with "According to...". You also forgot the 'to" in the 3rd paragraph. You ruined everything.

I was at Greenlake earlier today. Some bald muscley dude was being lectured by a lifeguard. Apparently he had cussed out a little kid aggressively moments earlier.

Oh assholes, you have no season!

Who would've guessed that after all of these centuries, we're basically still living in trees.

I don't understand this post. Apparently, it's all, "Ha ha, look at these 'crimes' at Green Lake, which thinks it's part of the city now."

Apparently, two people were shot at the Bathhouse Theater last night. Link: http://www.mygreenlake.com/2009/07/shoot…

Given the unemployment rate, can't you find an Unpaid Intern who can actually write?
