Has anyone ever seen a fight at a Con

Purely joking, don't read too deep into it.

I'd be to embarrassed to get in a fight at a con. Not that I actually fight a lot anyway but I guess if some nerd crosses a line it could be tempting to put him in his place. Not at a con though. You know it'll be on Youtube. You know it will make the news. It has a significant chance to end up on Tosh.0 or some other show like that. I don't ever want to be "that guy." Some individual_without_enough_empathy throws a fit over a comic, let him have it and walk away I say.

CLosest thing I saw to a fight was a comic vendor grabbing a guy he thought had stolen something from him. Turned out the guy hadn't stolen anything - this was at SDCC last year. I thought it was going to turn into a brawl so I made sure I had a good viewing spot - no such luck. Too many puzzies at these shows.

 

Outside of that, I was pretty sure I was being eyed for a street robbery by two dirtballs in Seattle a couple of years ago. This was way outside the con downtown Seattle at about two in the morning.

 

I still want to see some boardie wars one on one at a con.

 

 

If I get to Heroes Con this year, y'all look for a dude wearing a shirt saying "Don't get yer panties in a wad." That will be me.

 

Come at me bro.

Didn't somebody who worked for a certain somebody punch in the face that certain somebody at a Detroit con?

 

 

 

I also believe Al Stoltz took out a thief in Chicago using his cast.

Never seen one myself. And I never really cared to see one or know about one before this thread asked.

 

Someone once told me a fight broke out at a boardie dinner - not sure how long ago this happened.

 

If I remember correctly it was over pressing comics. Always wondered if anyone here knew about it, or had more details about what actually happened and who was involved.

At a Motor City Con in the early '90s John Fairless flipped a table (and all of his books) going after a customer after a negotiation turned sour, heated, and personal. The cops stopped it before John totally whooped the guy. They let John stay. The customer had to go.

I was shoved out of the way by some pimple-faced punk at the LA Monthly Con back in late 2012...I already posted the pertinent details when that happened...

 

CAL who would have gone to jail...

 

You got beat up by a tween.

Howard 'tape is not a defect' Rogofsky was chased out of a convention at knifepoint by a disgruntled customer. That would've been interesting to watch.

I'm talking long boxes, short boxes and all, spread out in the aisle as two grown men grappled for macho nerd dominance.

I'm surprised the spectators weren't snatching up all the comics, like you would see casino patrons do if someone threw a wad of $100 bills up in the air.
