Thanks to the "GUY" that stole my sticks & picks in Jax

in The Porch
Ok I was on the floor last night & had a great, safe time,in my wheelchair(read my response in given to fly). By no means was I out to make anyone's night disturbed by being by the rail at my favorite band ! And I do not think anyones night was ruined any more what happened to me after the show. I stayed up by the rail even when they started taking it apart.

Then I made eye contact with someone on stage & mouthed the word pick & he held his finger up for me to wait a minute. And before I knew it he came out & handed me a couple picks,& set list, I told him thank you, & what my project/goal was to frame the poster with my ticket, set list,GA wrist pass everybody's pick & matt's drum sticks. He said that sounded very cool told me to give hime a few minutes & when he came back gave me what looked like 6-10 picks & Matt's sticks & he was gone

. I was so happy on cloud nine, being in my wheelchair, it was hard to not drop them because I had him slide the sticks on the side of my leg & the pick's I just told him to set them next to the sticks because I just had to find my friend to put them away, but leaving the arena this very drunk guy wanted to see what the guy gave me.

So he grabbed the sticks just holding them, looking then he see's the picks he grabs them & asking to look at the same time , then just turns around & hauled ass out the doors........JUST RAN OUT WITH MY STICKS & PICKS...... now I'm yelling for my friend or anyone to help because shit was feeling very fucked up but my voice is so quiet normally so after yelling the whole show no none can hear me

I find my friends & they get pissed look around but the drunk fuck is long gone.Kind of fat(beer gut)red shirt he was standing just to our back right side( he was the one that bothered people around us all night.

Their were were so few people left & the few that were around didn't see anyone & they wouldn't let me back in, so I got the set list & 2 of Ed's picks but that asshole took off with my sticks & I can only guess they were everybody elses from what I can guess.

ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT(like someone had to see this happen, it was so quick it was hard to react)

i can't type anymore arms are ready to fall off,hope this makes sense it took a long time to type

thx
steve

    What a dick move. Let's hope that Karma kicks his arse good and proper. Sorry that you had to suffer after what must have been an incredible moment.

    Hi Steve,

    I'm so, so sorry you had to go though that. Something so wonderful and generous in an instant turning so utterly awful.

    It's bullying, abusive and utterly corrupt. And makes me bloody angry.

    I wish I could do something to make it right but I can't, all I can do is say I hear you.

    Um.... wtf. Wrong on so many levels.

    Where were you at on the rail? I'm sure there are a ton of crowd shots out there that can be shared here. CSI fanboi ready for action.

    Damn, what the fuck is wrong with some people? Hopefully he wasn't in blackout-drunk mode, remembers his shit move, and feels worse than you do.

    Glad he didn't take the setlist too.

    Sorry to hear about this. Would probably classify as aggrevated robbery and perhaps assault? Contact the authorities, have them check security cameras, or file a police report at minimum? Maybe they could check the tapes and ID the guy as entered the venue.

    Dude wtf, that's terrible. I thought when you said in gtf that you were going to post what happened after the show over here in porch that you ended up backstage with the band or something positive. F the fat guy in the red shirt. He's got a special place in hell for that fucking move.
    I'm like an opening band for your mom.

    WOW. I'm grossed out man. I read your post on GTF as well, then came directly here to read this... I'm stunned. Who's the dick?!?!? LYNCH MOB THAT M'F*#K^R! This is so not cool. I hope the dude who did it IS on this forum and KNOWS what a royal P.O.S. he is. Confess; you're a dirtbag and you deserve to be kicked off the site and banned from all future PJ shows. Loser in the 1st degree. And if I know you on this forum, you and I are done pal. You lose.

    really? stfu
    it sucks but get a grip on reality

    Aggravated robbery means the robber was armed with a deadly weapon, had an accomplice, or actually inflicted serious bodily harm on the victim. Some states, like Illinois, include the threat of bodily harm in the definition of aggravated robbery.





    Assault

    At Common Law, an intentional act by one person that creates an apprehension in another of an imminent harmful or offensive contact.

    An assault is carried out by a threat of bodily harm coupled with an apparent, present ability to cause the harm. It is both a crime and a tort and, therefore, may result in either criminal or civil liability. Generally, the common law definition is the same in criminal and Tort Law. There is, however, an additional Criminal Law category of assault consisting of an attempted but unsuccessful Battery.

    Statutory definitions of assault in the various jurisdictions throughout the United States are not substantially different from the common-law definition.


    The guy was a POS and stole something.

    Unbelievable. What a horrible human being. Most PJ fans are some of the best people in the world but there are also some real pieces of work. I hope somebody that reads this can help you out and replace some of these items, maybe somebody close to the band.
