Breaking face-punching news: Alabama state Sen. Charles Bishop cleared by ethics committee after punching fellow Sen. Lowell Barron, who called him a "son of a bitch." Thank the Lord, there's video evidence, complete with an angry post-punching interview:
It's almost worth moving to Alabama just to cast a vote for Sen. Bishop.

Wimpy man beaten with plunger, fist
From the Whig-Standard in Kingston, Ontario:
A man told police he's been a victim of "continuous assaults" from his wife since December. Apparently it took him over a month to work up the courage to tell police she was unclogging his face.
The woman was charged with two counts of assault, and one count of assault with a weapon, which we can only assume is the plunger and not her fist.

Drunk diabetic punches police officer
From This is Lancashire in the UK:
Here's an idea: If you're a diabetic, don't pound a whole bottle of Jack Daniel's. Frankly this story is so great, no snarky summary can do it justice.
Claiming you don't remember anything is always a good defense. If I punched a cop and had to pay a fine, though, I'd like to at least remember it.
Here's an idea: If you're a diabetic, don't pound a whole bottle of Jack Daniel's. Frankly this story is so great, no snarky summary can do it justice.
A POLICE officer who warned a drunken man three times about his behaviour was punched in the face for his trouble.
But as Kevin Barry Murray tried to run away from the scene he was grabbed by a taxi driver who had witnessed the incident.
Blackburn magistrates heard that before he had gone out drinking in Blackburn centre Murray had downed a full bottle of Jack Daniels.
And he later told police he could remember nothing of what had happened after he entered the Liquid Club, St Peter Street, or what happened after he had been ejected.

Taxi cab confession: Tooth accidentally, deservedly knocked out
From The Jersey Journal in New Jersey:
A long wait for a Jersey taxi led to some serious dental damage. The incident started when the soon-to-be-punched man decided he'd try to cut in the taxi line. The assailant didn't take too kindly to that, and told the cutter to go to the back of said line. Instead, the man-who-would-have-a-broken-tooth shoved a woman out of his way and grabbed a cab. That's when the punching began.
The puncher, McNulty, told police that the fist-face action was an accident. Come on, man, this ass-sweat cut you in line and he shoved a woman. Just fess up. He had it coming.
Police, unsure of what to do, arrested both men, ensuring that no justice will be served.

Stop texting or you will be punched
From Britain's Daily Post:
People nowadays send and read text messages from literally everywhere. Perhaps most annoying is when someone whips out a phone during a movie, shining their phone's light in everyone's eyes, sending a message along the lines of "ina mvie cal u l8r." Couldn't it wait? Is it really necessary?
So while it sucks that this kid got jacked while reading a text message, perhaps it's the start of a trend of punishing people who send text messages at inappropriate times, like during a movie, while driving or at your cousin's quinceanera.
The teen was apparently left with facial injuries and taken to a hospital. If only the attackers could use more discretion in their anti-texting crusade.

Drive-by punching
From ABC 7 in Frederick, Maryland:
Apparently it doesn't take much of anything to get punched in the face these days, as demonstrated by a rash of what investigators are calling 'punch & run' incidents in a Maryland town. The set-up is simple: A car full of soulless bastards rolls up on an unsuspecting bystander and one guy from the car runs out and coldcocks the pedestrian in the face before making a quick getaway.
These geniuses have been seen taping their unprovoked assaults, because video evidence of a horrendous crime is always a bright idea. Hopefully, when these ballbags are arrested, a video of their prison rape can be added to the anthology.

Investigators explain the suspect did not say anything to the victim, just simply walked up to him and punched the 16-year-old in the face. The suspect then returned to the SUV and the group drove away.

Fist removes lip from face
From the Australian Broadcasting Corporation:
If there's one thing more entertaining than the full context of a punch to the face, it's the explicit details of the aftermath. This one starts out simple enough: An 18-year-old is walking down the street and a stranger approaches him and asks him for a handshake. The teen refuses, and that's when slugger apparently decided to surgically remove a vital portion of the victim's anatomy.
The victim was flown to the hospital to have part of his lip reattached, which will undoubtedly leave him with the fattest of fat lips.

Fight breaks out over restaurant bill
An Englewood, Fla., man who didn't agree with his restaurant bill hit one person over the head with a wine bottle and punched another man in the face, a Charlotte County Sheriff's Office report said.
Francesco V. Meglio, 63, of 7410 Mamouth St., was eating dinner at the Blue Lagoon Restaurant on Oyster Creek Drive in Englewood when a server gave him his bill, the report said. Meglio claimed he didn't have to pay the bill because the restaurant owner owed him money, the report said, so manager Don Ketty asked him to go with him to the bar to discuss it. At the bar, Meglio hit Ketty in the face and struck him over the head with a wine bottle, the report said; he also allegedly threw a mixed drink at Ketty and threatened to kill him. When the bartender, David Rouch, tried to calm Meglio down, Meglio hit him in the face, the report said. Meglio then left the establishment.
CCSO deputies arrested Meglio at his home on one count of obtaining food with intent to defraud and two counts of battery. He was held at the Charlotte County Jail without bond.
According to the report, Meglio's food bill came to $51.50.

Broken faces, united they stand
From The Daily Utah Chronicle at the University of Utah:
While partying at a fraternity, rumors started to swirl that a girl had used a racial slur, which apparently did not sit too kindly with a 6-foot, 230 pound black man. The girl denies making the comment.
To be honest, a majority of this story about a girl getting her face broken isn't very funny. But there's an undeniable hilarity in the victim's attempt at solidarity with others who have been afflicted with a punch to the face.
On an unrelated note, the guy who wrote this article is named Tony Pizza. Close friends know him as "The Sausage."

Baker said that helping even one person avoid what she went through will make it all worth it.
"The biggest thing for me is I want just to help a girl not get in this situation," Baker said. "Or a girl who's, like, already been punched in the face, I want her to see that I was able to make it through, and she can too."

Football, politics, cocaine, fists do not mix well
From the local NBC affiliate in San Diego, California:
Two Australian sailors face serious time in a federal U.S. pound-me-in-the-ass prison after police say the coked-up twentysomethings decided to assault a man following a passionate debate. The topic? Says the American victim, the superiority of each nation's version of football, as well as politics in the Middle East. Turns out one of the Australian dudes, in addition to being a sailor, is a professional Australian rugby player.
Booze obviously factors into this equation, as the three men met at perhaps the most awesomely named bar in all of San Diego: Moose McGillicuddy's.

Just punch them both
OK, who's with me on this one - hitting someone in the head "open-faced yet close-knuckled" is a total bitch-slap.
From rollingstone.com, posted Oct. 2, 2007, " Kid Rock's Cure For Heartbreak":
At the MTV Video Music Awards last month, Kid Rock returned from a bathroom break and got a surprise. Tommy Lee, Rock's nemesis -- the ex-husband of his ex-wife Pam Anderson -- was sitting at Rock's table. "I was like, 'That's it!' " Rock recalls. "He knows how much he has disrespected me through the years, and I'd told him he had it coming. I was left with no choice." Rock remembered what his older brother taught him -- "you've got to hit first" -- in the fourth grade. "I was going to be a bitch or be a man," Rock says. "And I'm not a bitch. Never have been."
Pretty soon, Rock, 36, is describing how he popped Lee in Las Vegas. It was his right hand -- open-faced yet close-knuckled -- that connected with Lee's left cheekbone. "It was a full swing," he says. "I don't got big guns, but I know how to throw a punch." The drama goes way back, related to their mutual ex-wife. Rock says that the final straw came last December, after his divorce from Anderson, when he received text messages from Lee, who had hijacked Anderson's cell phone. "This motherf***** starts e-mailing me from her BlackBerry, saying, 'You're a f***ing bitch, she'll always be with me, nobody wants you,' " Rock says. "It was not easy. It was a very hurtful time in my life, because I was in love with her. I wanted to roll on him right then, but I didn't see him until the MTV Awards."
On his blog, after the incident, Lee called Rock a "wuss," and when reached for comment, Lee says, "My family and I want nothing to do with this unfortunate situation."

Drive slow, be punched
From the Kitsap Sun in Kitsap County, Washington:
A man thought driving slow on an icy road was a good way to ensure the area above his neck was left unharmed. But another man stuck behind the slow driver proved that even being cautious can put you in danger. The soon-to-be puncher pulled in front of the slow driver's car and an argument ensued, during which the puncher hilariously asked "You want a piece of this?"
The suspect was reportedly seen wearing a sweatshirt, sweatpants and flip-flops. Police are on the lookout for a cold man with naturally warm feet.

Cutsies? I don't think so, b****
Gas shortage sparks tempers
Last weekend's gas shortage apparently led to shortened fuses as well.
Two men in two separate incidents blew their tops while waiting in line for gas.
The first occurred Friday afternoon at the Shell station, 3196 Tamiami Trail in Port Charlotte, Fla.
According to the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office:
A man accused another motorist of cutting in front of him while waiting to pump gas.
The suspect "pulled the gun partially out of its holster and said words to the effect of 'I got three more where this came from,'" states the report.
The victim allowed the suspect to go ahead of him in line and the two men pumped their gas without further incident.
The next morning at the BP station, 4276 Tamiami Trail in Port Charlotte, another man accused someone of cutting in front of the line.
The driver of a green GMC pickup got out of his truck, grabbed the victim's wallet, threw it over the car and allegedly hit the victim in the head.
The victim then supposedly grabbed the suspect by the throat and forced him to the ground to calm him down.
The victim reported the incident to the Sheriff's Office, but did not want to press charges.
Neither of the suspects faces charges at this time.

'Drama' leads to fist, shoe making contact with face
From the Charlotte Sun in Florida
Nov. 26, 2007
One of the four men at the pier with the woman punched the victim in the head hard enough to knock him out. The victim also had a shoeprint on his face.
Two men arrested following fight
A man reportedly suffered severe internal head injuries after four people beat him at Spring Lake Park's fishing pier in Port Charlotte, Fla., Charlotte County Sheriff's detectives arrested two men on felony battery charges in connection with the incident, while another two remained at large.
The victim and a woman were arguing around 1 a.m. Friday at the fishing pier at the park, located at 2000 Edgewater Drive, said a CCSO report detailing the woman's statement. Four men arrived and told the couple to "take their drama someplace else," the report said; the man left the pier, but the woman asked the men if she could stay with them because she was afraid of the way the man was yelling at her.
The man returned to the pier and continued to scream at the woman and call her names, the report said. One of the four men at the pier with the woman punched the victim in the head hard enough to knock him out, the report said, and the other three kicked him while he was on the ground. The four men then got into their cars and left. The woman called 9-1-1.
When Charlotte County Fire and EMS arrived, medical personnel found the victim had serious head injuries and a cut to his lower back, which the victim attributed to being stabbed with a bottle. The victim also had a shoeprint on his face, the report said. He was taken by helicopter to Lee Memorial Hospital in Fort Myers.
Before 3 a.m., CCSO deputies stopped a car that matched the description of one of those at the scene. Inside were Luke Joseph Trotta, 23, of Orlando, and Benjamin Gerald James, 19, of 1253 Pike Ave., Port Charlotte. The woman from the pier identified both as people she had seen kicking the victim, the report said, but during interviews at the Sheriff's Mid-County Station, both denied participating in the fight.

One of the four men at the pier with the woman punched the victim in the head hard enough to knock him out. The victim also had a shoeprint on his face.
Two men arrested following fight
A man reportedly suffered severe internal head injuries after four people beat him at Spring Lake Park's fishing pier in Port Charlotte, Fla., Charlotte County Sheriff's detectives arrested two men on felony battery charges in connection with the incident, while another two remained at large.
The victim and a woman were arguing around 1 a.m. Friday at the fishing pier at the park, located at 2000 Edgewater Drive, said a CCSO report detailing the woman's statement. Four men arrived and told the couple to "take their drama someplace else," the report said; the man left the pier, but the woman asked the men if she could stay with them because she was afraid of the way the man was yelling at her.
The man returned to the pier and continued to scream at the woman and call her names, the report said. One of the four men at the pier with the woman punched the victim in the head hard enough to knock him out, the report said, and the other three kicked him while he was on the ground. The four men then got into their cars and left. The woman called 9-1-1.
When Charlotte County Fire and EMS arrived, medical personnel found the victim had serious head injuries and a cut to his lower back, which the victim attributed to being stabbed with a bottle. The victim also had a shoeprint on his face, the report said. He was taken by helicopter to Lee Memorial Hospital in Fort Myers.
Before 3 a.m., CCSO deputies stopped a car that matched the description of one of those at the scene. Inside were Luke Joseph Trotta, 23, of Orlando, and Benjamin Gerald James, 19, of 1253 Pike Ave., Port Charlotte. The woman from the pier identified both as people she had seen kicking the victim, the report said, but during interviews at the Sheriff's Mid-County Station, both denied participating in the fight. In separate interviews, they said their friends had been involved, but they themselves had not kicked the victim.

For those keeping score, that's two punches, 1 slap to the face; although we can only assume more punches to the face transpired outside
Bar fight results in arrest
A Port Charlotte, Fla., man was arrested shortly before midnight Wednesday on two counts of battery following a bar fight, according to the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office.
Shawn M. Cole, 35, of 24549 Nova Lane, was arguing with one of his two brothers at Willie's Bar, 4095 Tamiami Trail, Port Charlotte, when a man at the next table looked over, a CCSO report said. Cole allegedly punched the man in the face, then one brother grabbed him by the throat while another pushed the man's wife to the ground, the report said. A woman at the bar walked over to see what was going on, the report said, and Cole allegedly slapped her. A female bartender then tried to separate those fighting and Cole punched her in the head while trying to hit the man from the table beside his, the report said. Then, the brothers went outside and continued to fight.
Both brothers left before deputies arrived, the report said. The case remains under investigation. Cole was released from the Charlotte County Jail after posting bond.

Punch this man in the face
From The Daily Times in Delaware:
Delaware State Police say this 30-year-old man robbed two women at gunpoint, opting to punch one of them, who is 61, in the face.
A man who punches a woman more than twice his age in the face is certainly deserving of a broken jaw, so if you see this man, please, punch him in the face.

Whataburger brawl includes booze, punches, faces
From the Lufkin Daily News in Lufkin, Texas:
A woman armed with a Corona bottle assaulted a random burger devourer at the Lufkin Whataburger restaurant Monday. The attacker was supported by a friend, who was allegedly armed with fists -- bad news for the fourth woman involved in this tale of squalor and despair:
The bottle-swinger and punch-thrower reportedly made a fast getaway from the crime scene together in a Chevy Tahoe. Though the Corona victim required medical attention, the punch receptacle apparently remained hunky-dory.
