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"

    • Not looking good for TB. Buffalo and Habs fans are the worst so I will be cheering for the meteor. 
    • Arguing about who had what and who did what with more is just going to end in the same charades. If we're going to waste a lot of hot air arguing then make it about something that cannot be denied. What you are seeing with your own two eyes. Cam Newton was a tremendously talented athlete albeit flawed in fundamental aspects. And although he played poorly in and lost a Super Bowl you cannot deny him that more often than not through his prime his teammates knew they could count on him to hold up his end of the bargain usually and be a key driving force for keeping them in games. Giving his defense much needed rest and motivation in wanting to match his grit as a competitor. That aspect is just not there with Bryce Young. Yeah he's dumped on the Falcons in a dome twice but what about his other 44 games? When has the Panthers defense the last three years ever looked at their starting quarterback and thought to themselves "man I'm so glad he's my QB"?
    • Rico walking is no big deal. I'll take a healthy 2024 Hubbard over Rico any time and losing Mays is, again, no a big deal.  Young is signed for what, $35M for the next two years? Say he wants $50M but the FO doesn't. If they put the franchise tag on him, that would be around $55? So basically they are getting Young for the next 3 years for an average of $30M per year. Putting the franchise tag on him wouldn't be my first choice but it gives them an option that wouldn't be locking him into a long term, $50M contract. I'm not suggestion they do that. Just that the option will be there should they get to that point. Hunt is on a 5 year deal which is done in 28 so he either restructures or is gone anyway. Moton will be 35 by then and will either be gone or have diminished playing time. Neither of those players has anything to do with getting Young a contract. The O line is way overpaid anyway. Hopefully by the time they are gone, Freeling and Hecht will be developed and Ickey will be healthy. Young was benched his second year and only got his job back because Dalton was injured. Not sure how you can call that entitled. And I would NOT say putting a rookie QB on a team with no receivers, tight ends or O lineman and then being put with a coach who never wanted you and is fired mid season, is a definition of luck. As far as competition, no team is going to bring in competition for a QB picked first overall - especially given the capital that was given up to get him.
