I've heard from folks in Fort Worth that Joel Burns' office is being slammed with furious phone calls and emails about the raid on the Rainbow Lounge and the assault on Chad Gibson. Burns, however, has taken action on this and has called for an investigation and is doing everything an openly-gay elected official is supposed to do in a circumstance like this. If you're itching to send an outraged emails, Sloggers, I'd urge you to send emails to the six Fort Worth councilmembers who haven't joined with Burns and two of his colleagues in calling for a full and independent investigation into the appalling raid on the Rainbow Lounge.

Chad Gibson, the 26-year-old Fort Worth resident who wound up in John Peter Smith Hospital in the intensive care unit after a law enforcement raid on a gay bar over the weekend, remains in danger with a blood clot on his brain. Dallas Voice senior editor Tammye Nash reports on the newspaper's blog, Instant Tea, that Gibson's sister, Kristy Morgan, told her a CAT scan had revealed the blood clot has quit growing, but it is still considered a life-threatening situation. Until the clot dissolves, there is a danger that the clot could break off and cause severe brain damage or death. A rupture of the clot could also start bleeding again.

The blood clot could take from six months to two years to dissolve, according to the update. Gibson, shown in a picture from facebook.com, will likely remain in the hospital for the rest of the week and will be referred to a neurosurgeon for follow-up treatment. Surgery is reportedly not being considered at this time.
Discussion is under way about the establishment of a medical fund to assist Gibson. His hospital bill will undoubtedly be enormous, and it is unlikely that he will ever recover any of those medical expenses from the City of Fort Worth. Police officers and other government employees are protected by state law from liability in any legal action that arises in connection with the performance of their official duties, unless they are involved in misconduct or broke laws.

And send an email to the mayor, Mike Moncreif, who has yet to make a statement:

(Fort Worth) Chad Gibson, a Fort Worth resident who was allegedly hurt the worst during a police raid of the gay club the Rainbow Lounge, is finally speaking out about his arrest.

Protestors have frequently been speaking out about the questionable raid that resulted in sending Gibson to the hospital for seven days with head injuries. The incident occurred on June 28 when two TABC and seven Fort Worth police officers raided the newly opened Rainbow Lounge nightclub. This is the first time Gibson has spoken about his arrest.

WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT FAG HAD IT COMING!

Gibson finally broke his silence last night to WFAA-TV in Fort Worth. He told a WFAA reporter that he wants the officers involved in the raid to be prosecuted, saying the response by the city of Fort Worth has been a cover up.

“They have blamed it on me, that I was drunk [and] that I hit my head,” he said. “I groped the officer. I did this. I did that. You know what, no … Accept responsibility.”

Gibson is still fearful of a blood clot located behind his right eye.

“I’m scared that something might happen,” Gibson said. “It might start bleeding.”

The incident is currently being investigated by Forth Worth police.

Email and call the cowpad leaders of Ft. Worth and tell them this shit is unacceptable.

knowing the way gay people attack anyone who has the audacity to treat them equally by criticizing them or questioning them, i would put my money on them being ridiculous and then counting on pro gay retards like OP to bail them out or use it for pro gay propaganda

Show moot that this board can be used for something good and doesn't have to be ruined by StormFronters

>>107023
If what you say (and the hurt man) says is true, then I hope the police officers involved get gigged. I live in Texas, and I'm very moderate (even though I'm Republican *gasp!*). Sounds like a case of homophobes over reacting and using their authority to bully people around.

Who gives a fuck. That fag probably did have it coming. Get over your self-centered bullshit you flamebags.

This poor guy goes to a bar with his friends, has it raided by the police, who beat him and almost kill him.
Anyone who has ever been to a gay bar knows that this shit is lies. Who in the fuck is going to grope a police officer in uniform when there are a bunch of them raiding a bar?
That's just fucking retarded.

I'll bet he probably said something sarcastic to the police, who had to beat him to protect his masculinity. Fag had it coming.

This is what your country is like. The police can do anything they want to anyone they want, and you can't do shit.. The land of pretend freedom. We wouldn't stand for this shit in my country.

>>107041
if youve ever seen homosexuals react to criticism youll know that the police are telling the truth

theyre the most aggressive and dishonest people on the planet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6RP_Q_pQmk

fags should have all their bars burned.

>>107030
True that, +1 my friend.

>And this shit is why this board will be gone in 60 days.

So you come on here and start posting the names and phone numbers of a bunch of councilmembers in a city that nobody on this board likely lives in, in an obvious attempt to call forth a "personal army" to harrass said people. Then you get butthurt when nobody gives a shit and you claim that some random anon posting a comment is "the reason /new/ sucks". You fags attain a new level of queer self-importance every day.

>>107054
That's my mom in that film.
This is the kind of shit that happens when she gets out of the house.

So the police decided to raid this gay bar for the lulz? Don't think so...it was because of the underage drinking and pedo faggotry

PROTIP: Cops are douches.

>>107057

Glad someone is keeping count and giving out scores. Nice to see /new/ has some good posters intent on making sure things are attended to.

>>107066

It is actually possible that they decided to raid for lulz.

>>107066

No, it's in Fort Worth. Enough said.

>>107074

All cops are douches. Southern cops are double douches. Texas cops are triple douches.

>>107086
As a Texan, I can attest to that. They are ultra quintuple douches to the tenth power of infinity.

>>107066

My psychology professor swould say that they (the cops) are probably gay themselves and are working out their feelings about it.

>>107092
And that's why he's a professor and doesn't have a real job.

>>107091

And raised to the 9001th degree if you are not white.

and youd believe him of course. probably like how you believe anyone who doesnt like pickles is secretly a lover of pickles or something.

Stupid bitch went in to the middle of a civil rights protest saying they discrimination is okay. Fuck her with an iron rod.

>>106993
This whole thing is at best police brutality and at worst (and more likely) a hate crime. Officers involved as well as the chief backing them should be fired.

Not finding an answer for why the police raided the bar to begin with....

>>107132

It's Texas.

>Stupid bitch went in to the middle of a civil rights protest saying they discrimination is okay. Fuck her with an iron rod.

Agreed, the Klan should hold armed marches and gun down any stupid nog or fag that walks within 20 feet of their "demonstration".

Are liberals really this hypocritical?

I live in a mid sized city in Texas, and Texas cops are total fascists. They will skull fuck you without a reason.

>>107143

I'm not going to feel sorry for any retard who walks into the middle of any demonstration countering and gets beaten up.

raids
do
no
good

kill yourself anon is leeeegion retards.

>>107150
So basically you're saying if my scenario happened you wouldn't be screaming at the top of your lungs for the heads of those "demonstrators"?

>IT'S ONLY OKAY WHEN WE DO ITTTTT

>>107150
of course not, unless they were part of your agenda. then youd make posts about it on here

Texas cops are total fuckheads. It's true.

Violently raiding a gay bar on the anniversary of the Stonewall Riot is the WORSE possibly way I could think of to settle down the LBGTQ movement.

So, everyone can think all the up and coming gay pride parades on these wonderful police in Ft. Worth.

>>107166

This guy gives AWESOME head.

>>107143
She got yelled at for being a right-wing fascist whore, not physically assaulted. Do you even understand the difference?

>>107168

Ha Ha! Oh wow.

No. You don't walk into a klan demonstration protesting it. You don't walk into even the most "peaceful" demonstration countering it because people are retarded knee-jerk reactionaries and you WILL get beaten down.

I have no sympathy for retards.

>>107166

He slobbers like a St. Bernard. Ultra slick head.

What the hell has happened to Texas?

Seems like the whole state is full of faggots and mexicans. Where are all the tough Texans that don't take shit? Is it just the cops now?

There are some folks in this story that have it coming; the ones wearing the badges.

Good luck getting away with those hate crimes, you finest of Texas.
