Not every punk band robbery can go as smoothly as it did for NOFX's Fat Mike, as Lucero drummer Roy Berry suffered a broken jaw after being mugged last week following a gig in Augusta, Ga. According to Punknews.org, Berry -- who has since had his jaw wired shut -- was with the band's guitarist, Brian Venable, who wasn't injured in the robbery.The band, which is currently supporting its most recent album, '1372 Overton Park,' has been forced to cancel and reschedule this weekend's shows in Jackson, Miss., and Huntsville, Ala. The Memphis sextet reports that Roy will recover. There's no word yet if additional dates on Lucero's ongoing tour, which includes gigs next weekend in Chattanooga and Nashville, will be cancelled.
The band's trek is currently slated to wrap in Houston, Texas on April 17, following a performance the day prior at the Coachella Music and Arts Festival in Indio, Calif. Lucero is also slated to play at Bonnaroo the weekend of June 11-13.

Yeah...kinda like New Orleans at Mardi Gras time, lol. It's the murder capital of the country but do you think they even try to warn the tourists??? Nope! Can't afford to lose those tourist dollars...but it's OK for the tourists to lose their lives. Go figure.

DING,DING,DING, DING, DING...We have our first racist comment here folks!! Rediculous. Its not always minoritys that mug people lady. Get a friggin clue you dummy!!

Tom: When being critical you should always do a spell check...misspelling words takes the "umph" out of your point. (Ridiculous, minorities)

I work as a victims advocate im a moderate-sized metropolotan area, and although SHARONS' comment is sterotypical, statistically it is probably correct. Of the muggings I have had dealings with over the last 12 months, about 89% of the offenders were a minority, either hispanic or african-american.

Tom, get a clue! Until you identify the problem, you cannot fix the problem. If you continute living in a state of denial, how will you ever be able to address the issue of why there is an overproportionate number of minorities who commit most of the violent crime here in the US. Oh...and let's not hear the ol' "white people commit crime too" line. No kidding! The issue here is why "minorities" commit a majority of the crime...and by far. As long as we have apologists like Tom, so quick to throw the "racicst" moniker on anyone who says anything negative about someone else, we will ALWAYS have this problem with crime. Tom, wake up and smell the reality.

How about sticking with the facts--that the race of the offenders was not in the story, a** hole? You and Sharon would sire pointy-headed babies with no brains. Oh, and who does all the evidence point to at the latest killing of a young woman (San Diego)? Oh, it's a white guy. I'm sure you and Sharon must think that a black guy must have made him do it.

OH wow Does that really matter Sharon what race the muggers were? I know what color they were ......PURPLE!!
Debat 3-06-2010
Gee this is about the drummer getting his jaw broke. Its all about a comment from Sharon about what race the muggers were.....What's even more rediculous is that everyone is saying something to Tom about his comment and I agree with him. That was a stupid question "What color were the muggers?"

Did your mother teach you that language, Lita? And thanks for pointing out a crime committed two months ago by a white guy. You must have been ready to burst, keeping that inside for two months, just waiting for the chance to use that as an example. Do you take it so personally because some, or many of your relatives are serving time in prison? I thought so! Bravo to you!

The race of the suspects doesn't have to be in the story for intelligent people to know who did it, Einstein. Obviously you've never been to Atlanta flea brain. When a young girl comes up missing nobody suspects a black person of doing it because 99 times out of 100, they didn't. On the other hand, when someone is mugged and beaten in a city with a large black population, 99 times out of 100, a black person did do it. Dig a little deeper and you will find that all of the suspects are indeed black. A**hole.

ever heard of Wayne Williams, he was black and murdered a few people-guess where? right in Altanta

Wheww..I got nervous for a second. I thought it was the drummer of a band that we've heard all heard of.

I think you guys may need to do your research. Just go to the FBI website and look at the criminal stats by race. I'm sorry to tell you that whites are arrested millions of times more than any other race for crimes. The stats really aren't hard to find. Most people just don't want to find because they would rather place blame on minorities.
Marcusat 3-06-2010
How can whites be arrested "millions of times more than any other race", yet the prisons are all full of minorities? The stat that I just read says that blacks are approximately 12% of the US population yet are responsible for approximately 81% of the violent crime in the US. That sounds about right to me.
Ballat 3-06-2010
Marcus and that idiot, Julio,
you only need to go to the FB website. Maybe then you would be informed. I'm white and even I know better than the nonsense that people spread around here just to incite race arguments.

Feel free to look at any year you would like. Whites are arrested way more than blacks for all categories of crime. White people just look at black people as inherently violent so they get longer sentences than we do. Once you are in the system, you don't have much chance of getting a job and making a living when you get out anyway.
By the way, look at the stats. You can't deny them and you can't tell me that the FBI printed it incorrectly to make black people look better. LOL.
jeffat 3-06-2010
Ahahahahahaha! blacks are 13 or 14% of the population. Ratio down from white to black and what have we here 89% of blacks commit the felonies and "VIOLENT" crime!
Lets not go down this path and work on cleaning up your community if it is warranted.
jimat 3-06-2010
What kind of morons are on here? The highest rating goes to the question about whether they were black or mexican. The lowest goes to the very next comment, critical of the bigotry. What a bunch of fools here.
Adios, bros !
