The 4-plex at the beach this weekend was showing Spiderman 3, Pirates 3, Shrek 3, and something else I forget, and I'm thinking, how can a summer movie season filled with repetitive, mindless, hypercommercialized, in-your-face sequels ever be entertaining?
Derek Lindsay of Taunton, Mass, if I didn't think you'd kick my ass for trying, I'd kiss you right now.
Mr. Lindsay is the star of his own summer sequel, you see, his 129th and 130th adult arraignments [at 34, that averages to 8/year. Busy!] premiered last Thursday in Taunton District Court. Seems Sunday before last, Lindsay had taken his kid to one of the local McDonald's, where Ronald McDonald and Shrek were holding balloon-animal court. Lindsay was heard urging his kid to push some other kids out of the way. When confronted by the dad of one of the pushed kids, Lindsay threatened to kick the guy's ass.
When some of Taunton's finest rolled up on a 911 tip, Lindsay put up his dukes and threatened to kick their asses, too.
He was arrested for the embarrassingly minor crimes of disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace. So wait, he talked trash, but didn't land a punch on either the other dad OR the cops? What kind of example does that set for the kid? Next thing you know, they'll be calling his fight a "tiff." Can't wait to see how he explains that one.

Big derek lindsey is the man and a longtime hometown hero of massachusetts those charges are trumped up he is known as a martial arts trainer and has trained such up and coming talents like tony the meatman leate so don't believe the hype he's a great dad
[just on the law of averages alone, I'd expect at least one of his 128 arraignments to not really hold up. thanks for clearing that up. I'm sure the charges he just got hit with last month, #129, are trumped up, too. -ed]
Well ed as a matter of fact those recent charges are grossly blown out of proportion as well seeing since all he did was enthusiasticaly cheer on the fighters the problem bieng is the police fear him because he reminds them of the guy who picked on them in school fact of the matter is the only thing derek is guilty of is being outspoken and unintimidated by police I didn't hear of him laying a hand on anyone ever in his last few frivalous arraignments as for the first hundred I'm sure he was guilty of a few but that doesn't make him the man who set the chicago fires too!
I believe dereks new lawyer crystal leate will easily get these senseless and false allegations dismissed
Derekz new lawyer crystal "fruitbasket" leate will easily get those absurd charges dismissed
[are you talking about the McD charges, or the 'thrown out of the fight night' charges? when/where's the trial? -ed.]
Derekz new lawyer crystal "the fruitbasket" leate will get derek the money he deserves
The fight night charges will be dismissed they know who he is and it was obvious harrasment he done so much for the local fighting community and is a credit to the sport
