Karaoke?

Friday after happy hour at McFaddens, I dropped Lance off at his cousin's place in Tualatin. Since the next night was going to be a fairly long one, I opted to chill out at home. I told him to call me when he was ready to go home and I would come get hime. At 2:30am, he called me. There was a fight at the bar they were at. About 20 minutes later, I met up with them down a road they were walking on. We went over to his cousin's house so they could wind down.

They were at a karaoke bar and after a few songs, they were told to leave. Aside from Lance and his cousin were two other girls. As they were leaving, a group of guys were behind Lance and his cousin and shoving them out of the door. Another group appeared in front and continued the shoving. It appeared to them that this scene had been re-enacted many times and the employees of the bar were fine with it considering they were all friends.

One of the guys, named Josh, pushed Lance down. In the process, one of his shoes came off and he badly bruised his knee. Instead of getting into a fist fight like most drunkards, Lance decided to call the cops. As he was speaking to the 911 operator, the same guy lifted one of the girls and threw her across the room. She ended up going to the hospital for a concussion and hand fracture. Her husband had not wanted her to go out that night. Perhaps she should have listened to him. Lance said that had I been there and the guy had touched me, he would have gone crazy on the guy...or at least try to considering the guy was your typical bouncer height and weight.

Josh was arrested for two assaults. The bartender and bouncer tried to say that Lance and his cousin had been trying to start fights all night. I know my boyfriend can be a loud-mouth when he drinks but he's never malicious and he's usually great fun.

What really ticks me off is the small town mentality. It was clearly there in that bar. I guess there was some kind of history between the dude who assaulted them and the girl that was thrown. I don't know what it was about but there was more to the story than what I heard from Lance or from what he cared to know.

It amazes me sometimes how some people just remain in the same clique throughout life. It's great definitely but I find that it also leads to some small-mindedness. Most of these types of people are pretty close-minded about a lot of things. It is especially true when they come up against "city people". I don't understand what the deal is or why they feel like they have to bust some balls to be cool.

I guess at my age, I'm just surprised that there are still some people who still act like their in highschool. It's immature. It's a waste of time. I'm calling the cops and shit goes down.
