Title: Star Trek vs. Star Wars argument gets physical Post by: sprite75 on July 08, 2017, 09:31:42 AM An Oklahoma man got into a fight with his room mate (http://thesmokinggun.com/buster/assault/star-wars-star-trek-assault-case-487290) about which was better - Trek or Wars.
Quote According to an Oklahoma City Police Department report, the cinematic dispute resulted in the arrest of Jerome Dewayne Whyte, 23, for the assault of Burke Bradley Warren, 19. During the “Star Wars”/”Star Trek” argument, Warren “became so frustrated” with Whyte that he left the pair’s shared living area and went to his room. As he departed, Warren told Whyte, “You’re just a trick.” That comment prompted Whyte to follow Warren into his room, where Whyte allegedly twice shoved his roommate to the floor and then sought to “choke out the victim,” police reported. While being strangled, Warren “went in and out of consciousness.” Since police judged Whyte to be the “aggressor in this altercation,” he was arrested for assault and battery. He was also charged with marijuana possession. A post-arrest computer check revealed that Whyte had outstanding arrest warrants in connection with prior convictions for passing bad checks and child abuse. In both of those cases, Whyte failed to pay fines and restitution ordered at the time of his sentencing. Ahem... (http://i0.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/000/554/facepalm.jpg) And also....

If he had been a Star Wars fan, then he could have used a Force choke. That he would use manual strangulation on his roommate, says more than I want to know.
