Crime / Sports Wasted Seahawks Fan Still Sore About Super Bowl XL

Last Tuesday around 8:04 p.m., Seattle cops responded to an assault at the Downtown Emergency Service Center Supportive Housing, which provides housing to homeless individuals with chronic alcohol addiction, on Eastlake Ave. According to a police report, two men were hanging out discussing the Super Bowl when the suspect overheard their conversation and "became angry for an unknown reason, but [the victim] thinks it may have been because they were talking about the Colts and Saints."

The suspect, according to the report, is "a known Seahawks fan." The victim told police that the suspect started yelling at him stating, "I'm going to kill you," while "swinging a small portable stereo by its cord in the direction of [the victim]," the report continues. The victim told police that the stereo almost hit him twice but missed, and that he "did not believe [the suspect] would actually kill him, but was afraid of being hit by the stereo." After a little while, the suspect just walked away.

Police then contacted the suspect, who was "very intoxicated and wearing a Seahawks NFC championship cap." The suspect insisted he didn't do anything, but an on-site manager told police he'd been picking fights all evening, and said, "we tried to keep him distracted." The man was arrested for assault.

Man, that championship hat was EXPENSIVE and damn hard to get a hold of in the days following our win.

Hope he didn't lose his hat in jail. :/

I'm not sure, but I think I just read that Big Lo got arrested for using a stereo as nunchucks.

It could have been worse, though, he could have attacked the guys with a section of picket fence.

I'm not sure what's worse in Pioneer Square: the Saturday night amateur-drinking fest, or Sunday afternoon after a Hawks game.

Nothing like a bunch of big drunk dudes, deaf from their 12th-man screaming, shouting their conversations and randomly yelling WOOOO!!! like infants that just learned how to make a new noise.
