"Laird has been charged in the past for assault, battery, resisting officers, disorderly conduct, DUI, theft and criminal mischief."

One can clearly see that a man of this stature would not want his reputation to be stained by a trip to the strip club.

If you don't want to get caught in a situation that would damage your reputation, should you not get into that situation in the first place?

And the moral of the story is never run with a fork in your mouth... that's what I took away from it anyway.

Umm, when is the last time you heard of anybody taking pictures of patrons at a strip club?

If that's what the guy was doing, he needed a beatdown.

Laird told deputies Rosetti "became violent when he inquired about the camera's film," the report said.

What the heck is film?

Well, sometimes something as innocent as relieving oneself can get you in trouble, as some people simply don't understand wide stances.

In the instant case, the upstanding member of the community may have simply miss read the sign and thought he was going into a Moose Lodge and low and behold, he walks in and there are naked girls dancing around, and before he can turn around and walk out the door, some member of the librul media snaps his picture to ruin this god fearing man's reputation.

You DO see how the simplest thing can go horribly for the most innocent reason, don't you?

I took my hubby to a strip club in Oregon once for our anniversary... The protesters with signs outside also had video cameras... Apparently me dragging him to the place assisted him in demeaning me... I DID NOT get that memo.

He seems to have an anger management issue.

Yeah, but in Oregon we do things in odd ways. I love how if you ever want to find the state police barracks, sinply head to the Adult Shop in town, lol. Seem to find both generally sharing the same parking lot.

Sounds like he's had his share of problems in the past and I don't think his standing is all that high.

And "film"? Who uses film?

Club 10 - meh. I could see him getting pissed off over being caught there.

Now if he had gotten caught in Mons Venus, he wouldn't have been so ashamed.

/Mons Venus - you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy

is it ironic that you post this on Fark?

Since COPS became a media hit. But that's only been about 20 years, so it's not like this guy had any warning or anything.

"Destin businessman Alan Laird has been arrested again, this time on three misdemeanor counts for punching a man with a camera at Club 10."

/Yeah, and he is worried about his standing in the community.

Can you really blame ALAN LAIRD for doing this? ALAN LAIRD was in a strip club -- an embarassing situation for a person like ALAN LAIRD. So it only makes sense that ALAN LAIRD beats up a person taking ALAN LAIRD's picture in a strip club. ALAN LAIRD also destroyed his camera, because it had those incriminating pictures of ALAN LAIRD. I only want ALAN LAIRD's reputation to match up with what ALAN LAIRD actually deserves. It would be rude to judge ALAN LAIRD on this one action. Let ALAN LAIRD's track record speak for itself.

Lets just allow ALAN LAIRD's strip club incident, and ALAN LAIRD's reputation to slip back into obscurity. That's what ALAN LAIRD would want. ALAN LAIRD just wanted to see boobies and punch someone. So aren't we all just like ALAN LAIRD?

A bet of one thousand Quatloos on the challenger Laird!

 
greenbean13 2009-07-03 11:20:32 AM  
I thought Laird was still in jail from his last time of farking up. Club 10? Really?! He owns one of the biggest restaurants in this area and he goes to that pit? At least it wasn't the Green Frog I guess.
