Bad Dogg

And you wonder why Europeans think Americans are arrogant and pushy? It’s incidents like this that give all of us a bad name. Gangsta rappers are enough of a pain in the ass here at home. Why do they have to take their miserable attitude overseas?

Snoop Dogg In Airport Fracas

LONDON, England (CNN)—American rapper Snoop Dogg was in police custody on Thursday after being arrested with five other men following a violent disturbance at London’s Heathrow airport. The star was held by police when a row broke out after his 30-strong entourage was refused entry to the British Airways first-class lounge.

His party then moved to a duty-free shop where it is alleged they threw bottles of whisky to the floor and argued with staff. Police were called and were escorting the group away from the scene when a further disturbance broke out, Scotland Yard said. Seven officers received minor injuries—mainly cuts and bruises—and one suffered a fracture to the hand.

A spokesman for Scotland Yard said: “Police were called at 6 p.m. last night to reports of a disturbance involving 30 people in a business lounge at Terminal 1. “The party was told that they would not be permitted to board their flight and officers then attempted to direct the group to baggage reclaim.

“A number of the group became abusive and pushed officers.” Six men aged in their 30s, including Snoop, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, 34, were arrested on charges of violent disorder and affray. The spokesman added: “The men, who are all U.S. citizens, are in custody at two West London police stations.”

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
