Neighbors saw the man, identified by police as Andrew Helmsworth, yelling at officers, and said at one point, Helmsworth walked outside with a banjo, which he played for the officers.

<a href="http://henney.com/weekend11/index2015acj.htm">DEWEY TO DISCUSS BAR VIOLENCE AT SPECIAL TOWN MEETING</a>

After two recent violent bar brawls at the North Beach/Ivy complex, Dewey Beach police received assistance this past week with additional state resources. State troopers along with Alcohol & Tobacco Enforcement agents were assigned to the town. Furthermore, the town also sought assistance from DelDOT to provide light trailers to help brighten the dimly lit streets.

This past Saturday, to encourage a more peaceful crowd, the deejay was going to play 1980&#039;s music. Police report no fights and no confrontations with the officers, both during the week and weekend.

Last summer, North Beach had trouble with the $1 drink specials on Tuesday nights which were followed by violence during closing time. The Saturday before last was the first time the violence spread to a weekend night, possibly because of a change of music.
^^^^^^^^^^ Jesus Christ hahahahaha
Were they playing Lighthouse and that's what got the kids so rowdy?
I know that would incite me to violent acts, already hit a few coworkers this morning

and 80's music, I assume it wasn't the CroMags, Suicidal Tendencies, COC and Black Flag to calm the crowd down

It appears to be some sort Chinese news source with a section dedicated to bizarre stories. I saw the article on voat.co.
Man guarding ?Muslim-free? gun range bends over, drops weapon, accidentally shoots self

A man guarding a ?Muslim-free? gun range in Oktaha, Oklahoma accidentally shot himself while practicing poor gun safety etiquette, KOTV?s Richard Clarke reports.

The man, whose name was not released, belonged to a group that volunteered to stand guard outside of Save Yourself Survival and Tactical Gear after the store?s owner received death threats for installing a sign denying Muslims the right to patronize his establishment.

Muskogee County Sheriff Charles Pearson evinced no surprise about the accidental shooting, saying that he ?saw several of those gentlemen out there yesterday. The way they were holding their weapons, with the fingers on the triggers, you can tell a couple of these gentlemen have no idea about weapons safety. It?s like the Clampetts have come to town.?

"Oh, yeah, I saw those guys being stupid with their weapons yesterday. I let them back in today, because, ya know, America. Muslims though. That's the real problem."
