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.

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."


On an unrelated note, the guy who wrote this article is named Tony Pizza. Close friends know him as "The Sausage."
