or maybe he said something stupid. not saying he deserved it but there's always two sides

Sam North2026-07-23T21:01:16.000Z

was he keeping the fish or catch and release? not that it justifies an attack obvs but sometimes certain types attract trouble

poor guy hope he's okay. just awful what people do to each other over nothing

Casey Adams2026-07-23T22:04:16.000Z

anyone know what happened? article is pretty vague. probably a drug deal gone wrong or something

Be the first to comment.

if they did it to him theyll do it to someone else. lock em up and throw away the key

nah drugs are everywhere man. council should patrol the river more

Sam North2026-07-23T23:18:16.000Z

wouldn't be surprised if it's tourists. seen some dodgy groups around lately

Jamie Fox2026-07-23T23:35:16.000Z

regardless of who did it, violence isn't the answer. hope they show up in court

Reagan Shaw2026-07-24T00:09:16.000Z
