Belted After Belting Out Badly

By LEANNE GENDREAU

More than a New York woman’s ego was wounded when six women beat her up over a bad karaoke performance in Stamford, police said.

The 25-year-old woman from Port Chester, New York, was singing at Bobby Valentine’s Restaurant on Wednesday night when six women made some derogatory comments about the victim’s inability to sing, police said. What she was singing, we have no idea.

Then, in a move that makes Simon Cowell seem kind, the girl fight started, according to police.....

you know how i post about stupid connecticut crime

Woman Shoots Flare Gun In Hospital

stupid connecticut crime

i can't call HER a criminal. she hasn't been tried yet. hmmmmm but it sure is a stupid series of events (and dangerous)

i'm thinking it's NOT a good thing to be late for work on your first day. i'm also thinking
#1) GET THE HELL UP EARLIER THAN NORMAL ON THAT FIRST DAY
#2) GET YOUR ASS IN YOUR CAR EARLIER THAN NORMAL ON THAT FIRST DAY
#3) IF IN FACT YOU GET A TICKET ON YOUR FIRST DAY OF WORK, BRING THE TICKET INTO WORK TO SHOW THEM YOU'RE NOT LYING

of course, since this woman had stolen plates, i don't think she was ever ACTUALLY going to get to work that day any way

Maria J. Alipio had told Sgt. Bill Meier she was late for a first day of work at a new job, and nearly struck two other officers who tried to stop her, police said.

Alipio, 49, kept going even an officer in a car pursued her south on Route 83, said Vernon police Sgt. Bill Meier.

"I turned around to walk back to my car and she takes off," Meier said.
