I want to clear up any misconceptions that might have arisen from that report last May about Massachusetts martial arts expert and dad Derek Lindsay getting arrested for disorderly conduct at McDonald's after telling his kid to push some other kid out of the Shrek balloon animal line, then threatening to kick the kid's dad's--and the police officers summoned to the scenes'--asses.
DT commenter Allan writes in to point out, "those charges are trumped up," and Lindsay is both a "longtime hometown hero" and a "great dad." Sorry for the mixup.
DT passed along reports from what we thought we credible, local news sources, but now the accuracy of those reports have been called into question. For example, we called Mr. Lindsay's McDonald ass-kicking arraignments his 129th and 130th. That was incorrect, and Daddy Types regrets the error.
Mr Lindsay's 129th arrest was actually last month, after he taunted and harassed professional fighters and police officers at the Reality Fighting - Annihilation event at Memorial Hall in Plymouth. Not surprisingly, those charges are "grossly blown out of proportion also...as for the first hundred," Allan continues, "I'm sure he was guilty of a few but that doesn't make him the man who set the chicago fires too!" If only Tom Brady had such powerful defenders.

Hahahaha... hahaha!
I'm so glad you included the photo. :D
Derek's old buddy allen needs to learn about the wonders of punctuation, yes?
Yes I respect puncuation and all its wonders almost as much as I respect facts and truth.with that being said not only was the information regarding the number of arraignments false but derek doesn't even have a son it was his nephew so there's mistake number two as well so the reliable media who you so much trust as fact specialists are nothing more than viscious rumor spreaders who didn't even bother to find out if derek was indeed the father of that child. Hmmm there's probably no chance that any other mistakes about dereks past smeared across tv an internet forums by the way why is a web site for father types even concerned about a man with no children. I have found that most self loathers love to fault find in others I strongly recommend some soul. Searching and counciling for those of you looking to cast stones at stone cold derek lindsey it is to your own shame to judge anyone else but how much more revealing of your character or lack of to do so to a man you have never met or know a single thing about. I would definitly take some time to search out your own hearts and ask god to reveal why it is you would even be concerned about this mans wrong doings even if you did have all the facts. To be able to love others comes from loving god first and love is kind ,patient,gentle,forgiving ,and keeps no record of wrong doings

well alan, i DO know derek and he is nothing but a pathetic drug dealer who has no real friends, only people who are afraid of him. if you know him you should know that just like everyone else in middleboro or taunton or anyone who knows him. derek is disgusting and i for one dont think he should be praised for ANY of his actions
You know what is grossly blown out of proportion...Derek Lindsay's rep and all the bullshit that comes with it. He's just looking to promote himself and grab some public attention while doing so, do not buy into it. I have met much tougher people in my lifetime than a career criminal like Derek Lindsay and refuse to believe any discussion about "trumped up" charges on the grounds that the man has been arraigned 130 times and should not be tolerated
Derek Linsay is a very close friend of mine.These newspaper articles love to do nothing else but talk derek into looking like a monster.So far i havnt read one thing that was anywhere near fact about him. For example this one states that he told his "kid" to act like a bully. That "kid" is his nephew. Which is a very sweet young boy that doesnt seem to have any kind of aggression in him at all. I wish people would avctually get thier facts right befor they go talking bad about another person.
Are you referring to Lindsay's 129th and 130th arrrests and arraignments for getting into fights with some dad at McDonald's and then with the Taunton police? The ones in 2007? Or are you talking about the guy who was with him at the tattoo parlor when he stabbed that guy and got charged with attempted murder?
I'm also a good friend of dereks all I have to say is he's always been there for me. The only people that should be scared of him are the ones that owe him money or talk behind his back. And for the people who say he's he's not as big or tough as he's made out to be why don't u put your full name on your comments so he can show you just how tough he is. I'll tell you why cause your just a bunch of gossiping sissys. Also derek has friends its not his fault. That most of the people in this town are back stabbing jerks who talk behind his back.grow a pair and say it to his face why don't you. peace
this man has done some terrible things in the past and he should certainly be held accountable, but he is a human being and we all make mistakes. on dec 17 2009 in a holding cell at wareham district court derek gave me a little lecture/life lesson. "you were a young man trying to sell a little weed to support your son. I know times are tough right now with the way the economy is but it isnt worth it. take me for an example i am now a career criminal and may never have a chance to have a family. When you go home today give your son a big kiss and tell your fam you love them. You do not want to end up like me. Do your best to stay out of trouble and work hard for your money and stop selling weed. you have your whole life ahead of you. Good luck with your son and i wish the best for you and your new family. be the best dad you can be and any time you think of doing somethingn illegal remember me." now i had never met this guy before this only read about him in papers and heard stories from people who know him personally. He is def not the type of person to say this to a complete stranger or anyone for that matter but he did. it has now been almost two months i work a full time job as a plumber, dont touch drugs whatsover,and i have bought a house with my fiance and son. befor i talked to derek that day i was planning on getting out of court and picking up a few pounds to get back on my feet. this man pretty much saved my life. If you ever read this derek or if anyone ever has contact with him tell him about this story and tell him i said thanks.
Love you Derek. Stay strong and keep your head up. You are in my prayers. This too shall pass... ~xoxo~
