Something resembling this caused a near riot at a karaoke show in Beaverton, Oregon

So, let’s say you are out singing karaoke with some of your buddys late one night, and there is a woman belting out a tune and you decide to smack her on the rear.  Then her husband comes up and confronts you and before you know it everybody is throwing chairs and beer bottles and then, whoa brother, here come the police.  Such was the story at the Azteca Restaurant in Beaverton, Oregon when Yemby Gomez decided that grabbing a quick feel was easier than trying to just do the manly thing and pick up a drunk woman.

Husband to the rescue, lots of mahem, panic, and punches.  It took 12 policemen and a significant amount of pepper spray to get things under control.  When all was said and done, seven people ended up in jail on charges from riot and disorderly conduct to, In Yenby’s case, harrassment.  And the Azteca is being investigated by the Oregon Liquor Control Commission for serving underage patrons.

But at least we know that in Beaverton some men will stand up for their woman and take it to the mat to defend their honor.

In what surely must take the cake for supreme irony, a man named Kyle Drinkwine has been ordered not to consume alcohol as part of his probation for beating up a karaoke singer.  Drinkwine, a 24 year old from Wisconsin, was also sentenced to 60 days in jail and 3 years of probation.

The short story, which is really just about another drunk doing his thing, is that Drinkwine criticized the karaoke singing of the patron of a bar, who was belting out “Holy Diver,” the title cut on Dio’s 1983 debut album (Dio is fronted by Ronnie James Dio, the former lead singer for Black Sabbath).  Drinkwine then followed the singer to another bar and attacked him.

If you are really into the whole “America’s Most Wanted” thing, the Smoking Gun has the police report on Drinkwine here along with more information about his arrest last November.
