Update: The Stabbing in Hall H


Ah, social media. Sometimes news spreads before the facts are aligned.

The “stabbing in Hall H” might turn out to be a scuffle between two friends that wound up with one of the men going to the hospital with a “scratch” over his eye.

We’ll keep our eye on the developments; in the meantime, remember: pens are for writing, not stabbing.

    PCT :
    Let me correct you a bit. The assailant didn’t like that the victim was in close proximity to him, and they weren’t friends either. The scratch part is correct though. The assailant was taken away by SDPD, and first apprehended by Elite Security staff, whom many carry handcuffs. SDCC security cannot get involved as it is against union regulations and bylaws….technically. I was surprised it was SDPD and not Harbor PD that got involved, since it’s under a different jurisdiction.

    Wait, Faux ‘news’ had a story about the massive cannibal orgy riot at Comicon – so, it must be true, right? They even quoted a Fred Phelps minion who said – “Derp! Derp, derpity derp, derp?!!?”

    At Faux, pens are for writing inaccurately.

    P.S. – How the %$### DO magnets work?

    Are there any bloggers on the net lamer than IMDB news portion of the site?? For all the accurate information posted in their search listings for movie credits, its amazing how consistently inaccurate is their news posts. Just five minutes of googling will discredit most of their news items. The nearest they get to accuracy is stating “something happened, someplace, involving someone,” ignore the details, they’re probably not true.

    The pen is mightier than the sword. And, with great power comes great responsibily. Any comic lover should know this.

    Thank God they were not armed with phasers at the time.

    Now you’ll only be able to carry a pen if it’s part of a costume and even then it’ll have to be “deactivated” and have a bright orange nib so the cops won’t mistake it for a real pen and jail you for documenting their public acts. You laugh now….
