Unbelievable....on the anny of Sept 11th....

OF ALL PLACES, this guy is from South Carolina....and to make it even worse he's a Cowboys fan.

They were talking about it on wnfz and Mac said the guy apparently wouldn't even stand for the 9/11 tribute and was later involved in an altercation in which the taser was revealed

Cops: Fan arrested in Taser incident

Despite added security at MetLife Stadium on the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11, a South Carolina man was arrested Sunday night for allegedly using an illegal stun gun in a fight with other fans during the Jets' season opener against the Cowboys, according to police.

Leroy McKelvey, 59, of Moncks Corner, S.C., was arrested by New Jersey police and charged with three counts of aggravated assault and two weapons counts.

McKelvey was taken to Bergen County Jail, where bail was set at $22,500.

New York City and surrounding areas were on high alert Sunday. Former President George W. Bush and his wife, Laura, were at the game for Sunday night's pregame coin toss. Security at MetLife Stadium featured bomb-sniffing dogs and a heavy police presence.

According to a statement from MetLife Stadium president and CEO Mark Lamping: "On Sunday evening, a man entered the stadium with an illegal Taser the size of a small cell phone in his pocket. The Taser was later used in an altercation with fans, during which no one was seriously injured.

"The man was immediately arrested. Procedures for pat-downs established by the NFL and used at every game were in effect at all entry gates."

Ridiculous!

From another article:

The website Deadspin posted a cellphone video Monday of the fight. One fan can be heard on the video saying: “How did he get in here with that thing?”

According to the New York Daily News, the fracas began because McKelvey and his entourage didn’t stand during the national anthem. They also allegedly spoke during “Taps” and “Amazing Grace,” drawing the ire of a Marine.

Tha God said McKelvey is a Jehovah’s Witness, and doesn’t believe in standing for the anthem.

The peeved Marine in section 324 wouldn’t let McKelvey pass to use the bathroom at halftime, witnesses told the paper. That’s when they said McKelvey used the taser.

Apparently the guy's father is saying he brought it in b/c "he felt threatened"

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
