Don’t Sing The “Star Spangled Banner” in San Francisco
They don’t tolerate that kind of behavior.
AFP reports: “Members of a close-harmony group from Yale University are recovering after being ambushed and beaten up while on tour in California.”
Members of the a cappella Baker’s Dozen were performing at a party in San Francisco at the new year when their rendition of the “Star Spangled Banner” apparently sparked taunts and threats from fellow partygoers.
As the group left the house, they were attacked by dozens of assailants, suffering scrapes, black eyes and concussions, said Connecticut’s News Channel 8.
“Besides any bruising or scrapes to the face, the main injury I suffered was I broke my jaw in two places,” one of the singers, 18-year-old Sharyar Aziz, was quoted as saying.
Does this qualify as a “hate crime”?
Welcome to San Francisco…
UPDATE: (1/11) More details reveal…
Jealous teens? High school rivalry? West Side Story?
Still ridiculous.
