Does Anyone Understand a Thing About the Yale A Cappella Assault, Besides the Obvious?

Does Anyone Understand a Thing About the Yale A Cappella Assault, Besides the Obvious?Arrests on charges of felony assault have finally been made in the New Year's Eve beatdown of a Yale a cappella group, but as per usual with this case, it only means there are more things that completely effing baffle us.

  • First: it's been more than two months since the one-sided brawl. Given the many witness accounts and photo evidence of gruesome (though arousing) injuries, and the eye-rolling attention given the incident by FOX News -- they wanted to believe the kids were targeted for singing the national anthem -- that seems like an awful long time to fill out a warrant.
  • Second: only local fortunate son Richard Aicardi (pictured, w/ bouffant; he's the one who apparently called in backup, announcing to his prey "This is the 415" and "I'm 20 deep, my boys are coming") and a second kid, one Brian Dwyer, have been charged, despite this being a group assault.
  • Third: the charges only relate to injuries suffered by freshman Yalies William Bailey and Evan Gogel -- and not Sharyar Aziz, whose jaw was straight demolished.
  • Fourth: Dick Aicardi is claiming he was acting in self defense.
  • Fifth: the morass of fuckups listed in this San Francisco Chronicle column, including inexplicable confessions and botched witness identifications

Etc, etc. A cappella kids getting beat up: thank God there is the natural logic of that to fall back on.

    From the SF Chronicle article:
    “”All of them trying to act like they were from the hood,” the source said. “Heck, the only hood any of these guys had ever seen was the hood of a Mercedes-Benz.”"

    Owned.

    Homophobic invectives thrown on the strees of San Francisco? Fear not victimized yalies, the spirit of Judy Garland will bring forth vegenence and wrath of biblical proportion onto these miscreants.

    Even the SF Chronicle is growing bored with this yarn of its own making.
