Bar assault to bring charges
A 21-year-old Anoka man will be charged with assault, possession of a dangerous weapon and underage consumption after he is released from a hospital, Winona officials said Thursday. Jonathan H. Minor is suspected of stabbing a Winona bar bouncer five times after Minor was told to leave the bar about 11 p.m. Tuesday. According to Winona police, Steven D. Adams, a 24-year-old bouncer at Schyde's Drinks and Whatnot Bar, was stabbed after he approached Minor and several friends who earlier had been asked to leave. Minor also was injured in the fight and suffered lacerations to his hands. Minor, whose 21st birthday was Wednesday, was apprehended at the Second Street bar. Both men were taken to Community Memorial Hospital in Winona. Adams was transferred to Gundersen Lutheran Hospital in La Crosse, Wis., where he remained Thursday in fair condition. Minor was transferred to St. Marys Hospital in Rochester, Minn. When Minor is released, the Winona County attorney said Thursday, he will be taken into custody and charged. — Kevin Harter

I'd have assumed a bladed stance, feet about shoulder width, and with my strong hand, in a smooth, controlled motion, swept back my covering garment and with a practiced, semicircular draw...

...retrieved my Motorola Razr cellphone, and dialed 911.
(What were you expecting? Dirty Harry?)

A 21-year old charged with underage consumption?

Is there a new drink out there that I don't know about?

Didn't I mention that it was a smoke filled bar, cards were being played in the corner, "ladies" were sitting cross legged on the banister and the door hinge creaked as I backed out?

This all happened on Tuesday @ 11 p.m. The punk's birthday was Wed. He missed by 1 hour.[/quote]

He turned 21 Wednesday; he was drinking Tuesday night.

Plus, he was a Minor.

Oops. I didn't read that far down.

Its a cliche', but I guess I would pull my snubnoce 357 and shoot the piano player.

Make damm sure its the piano player that ran off with my x-wife.

I thought you payed the piano man to do that



Um, bar, large congregation of 21ish punks. . . . so I know I am only carrying my thermo nuclear pocket knife, 'cause I usually (always) hang up the heater before I start to drink. I know the bad guy also has a knife 'cause I just saw him cutting up the bouncer. I also saw Andrew across the bar dialing a date . . . or 911 & I figure given the circumstances he is probably talking to a dispatcher rather than a madame. I know the boys in blue are gonna be looking to take down somebody weilding a knife, so you know I ain't gonna go try and cut up the punk with the knife.

I got it! I snatch a bar towel and a pool ball and do a quick slingshot striking the bad guy in his left temple, wherein his soul becomes disinterested in remaining with his body. Then catlike I jump across the pool table and subdue his buddies with my ninja pool cue moves. . . . er wait. . . . I am not Steven Segal.

I confuse the dispatcher by calling 911 and reporting everything Andrew does, but I say I am at the bar down the street. Wait, no, that is just too crazy.

Maybe I just agree with Andrew. I do that so often though & he always seems to beat me to the good posts. It just isn't fair

(I think it went into effect) Don't forget that there is no 'power hour' anymore. One has to wait until 8am of their birthday to drink.

well....

I know! Order up another drink as the PD will be there shortly (eventually) so last call will probably be canceled!

Mostly-

Hmmmmmm.....didn't know that (not that it applies to me). Interesting piece of information.

Tom:

You can legally celebrate the annaversary of your 21st birthday..
