Let’s face it: Delmon Young has a temper. True, he might not be as bad as your Mike Tyson, or your Barry Bonds, or even your Meta World Peace, but he has a temper. And now that temper has flared in a big way. The New York Post has this report:
Hot-tempered Detroit Tigers slugger Delmon Young was arrested early this morning after he allegedly went on an anti-Semitic tirade and attacked a man in front of a Midtown hotel, police sources told The Post.
A panhandler wearing a yamulke approached a group of people to ask for some change — and that’s when Young, who was nearby, started shouting, “F–king Jews! F–king Jews!”
That’s when another man and a group of his friends got into a confrontation with Young at about 2:40 a.m. that quickly turned physical along Sixth Avenue, law enforcement sources said.
Young allegedly scratched a 32-year-old during the fracas on East 54th Street, pushing him to the ground in the lobby of the Hilton Hotel.
There is video of the arrest:
Young was apparently highly drunk. Nevertheless, this incident isn’t going to go away anytime soon.

Posted on April 27, 2012 at 10:43pmThis culture says that it is cool to go to jail for a violent offense. Obama invited a rapper to the White House who hyped about doing your good deed for a day and kill a cop. You know what is really cool? Working hard and honestly and carrying your cross and helping others in humility and civility. This ain’t the middle east yet. This is still America- the land of the free (for those liberties that haven’t been regulated yet…list is getting smaller) and the home of the brave.

Posted on April 27, 2012 at 9:49pmSo we arrest people now who yell offensive comments? Why do we have a first amendment anyway? Harassment laws are nothing more than laws to limit freedom of speech, particularly with conservatives. Delmon Young has the God-given right to be an a**hole, doesn’t mean he should be thrown in jail for it.

Posted on April 27, 2012 at 9:58pm@DrSavage…… he was not arrested for what he said…..but for what he did. The article clearly stated he was in a confrontation with others that quickly turned “physical”. He probably was charged with drunk and disorderly as well. His arrest had nothing to do with his anti-Semitic rant.

Posted on April 27, 2012 at 9:20pmThey sort of get that the Jews have suffered a thousand times worse than blacks in terms of mistreatment and slavery yet the Jews somehow managed to move past it and become some of the most productive and successful people in the world in spite of it all. As for blacks, well, it hasn’t quite worked out that way as we are all too well aware.
