  • So someone got stabbed in the face at Comic-Con

    I first saw this on Kotaku, but IGN, has just a little more details on what happened:

    An alleged dispute over a seat at San Diego Comic-Con's Hall H led to an altercation, as two attendees clashed and one was stabbed in the eye with a pen, witnesses reported.

    The victim of the attack was taken out on a stretcher, while the assault suspect was escorted away by security officials while show attendees booed. San Diego later detained the suspect, whose free swag T-shirt was stained with blood




    According to USA Today, San Diego Police Sgt. Gary Mondesir said, "Two males got into a dispute and one male stabbed the other male with a pen around the eye socket. Paramedics arrived almost immediately and took the victim to the University of California/San Diego hospital. The suspect was taken away."

    The incident occurred between panels and delayed show proceedings by 30 minutes."


    Here's the video of the suspect, arrested.

    By the way, here's another video of the suspect being taken off the grounds, taken from a reporter for Latino Review (yeah, never heard of that either lol), from the Kotaku article I saw earlier:


    Here's Kotaku's article as well if you're interested:
    Comic-Con went a little insane today when a Harry Potter-loving attendee reportedly stabbed another man in the face with a pen at the convention center's massive Hall H. That alleged attack went down following today's Resident Evil: Afterlife panel.

    As horrible as this is, I can't help but wonder what they were arguing over. Kirk Vs Picard?

    Still, hopefully the guys injuries aren't bad enough that he looses an eye over this. Dickweed of Stabdom needs an attempted manslaughter charge. Might make him keep his nerd rage to himself.

      This reminds me of that bit at the end of RE: Apocalypse where Alice grabs the pen and nearly stabs a guy through the eye with a pen. It was cringeworthy even when she almost did it. The thought of really stabbing a guy in the eye with a pen = euuugh. Perhaps they were arguing over who had the coolest "God hates ...." spoof sign. My personal favourite is the "The Cylons destroyed the twelve colonies for our sins" one. I love Cylons.

        Oh no, it was even more stupid than that........


        It was over a seat.

        The guy who got stabbed was saving seats for (a) friend(s?). And then Mr. Aggressive decided it was worth trying to kill the guy over it........while in his Harry Potter shirt.

          I'd say I'm speechless, but that would be a lie.

          Seriously. Attempted manslaughter. Maybe it will get his fucking head on straight.

            I wonder if the assailant was Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw?
