Throwing an Octopus = Misdemeanor

[Eddie_Shack]

KuklasKorner : The Malik Report : Throwing an octopus in Detroit doesn’t just result in a $500 fine—it’s a misdemeanor

The City of Detroit’s $500 fine comes with a disorderly conduct charge on the side. In other words, it’s a misdemeanor, and if you throw an octopus at Joe Louis Arena, the Detroit Police won’t look the other way just because you’re a Red Wings fan, nor will they look the other way if you, as the Detroit News’s Gregg Krupa suggested, show good taste in the timing of your octopus throw.

Unbelievable.

Fuck Gary and the NHL for getting the ball rolling on this. No one ever said boo about throwing octopuses until Burke whined about it in '07. Now the NHL suddenly is up in arms about it, and it's banned? Big huge fat steamy fuck you Gary. It's a goddamn tradition, it's our tradition, and I hope someone throws a 600 lb live octopus on you and it rapes your face.

Fuck the Detroit Red Wings organization for not warning the fans of the new prosecution rules, and fuck them even more for not fighting this. Illitch could have brought this to court, made a public statement, ANYTHING, instead they rolled over like Mike Ribiero in prison.

Finally, don't think I forgot about you, Detroit Police. You have pregnant hookers selling crack and stealing hubcaps off the mayor's car in broad daylight. You have eight year olds driving stolen cars and shooting each other with sawed off shotguns. There are literally packs of wild dogs roaming the city. This is the biggest waste of resources I could ever possibly imagine. This is like the Edmonton Oilers hiring a new stick boy.

I don't know what to do about this besides rant and bitch on a message board, but it's horse shit squared and I believe something needs to be done.

You used to just get high fives and a round of applause.

I can't wait until Datsyuk scores a hat trick at the Joe and somebody throws a 10-gallon hat containing an octopus...

I hope people start throwing these for hat tricks...

Detroit police must be salivating at the thought of handing out fines to hundreds of people who have thrown their hats onto the ice.

[ritari330]

This is really really stupid!

 

[UTVolCountry]

Wow, this is freakin stupid. It's their tradition and they've been doin it for years. What the hell does it hurt? I mean seriously, it's a octopus for crying out loud. I hope it only leads to more being thrown to the ice.

If Mike Illitch has the balls to charge $5.00 for one sixth of a $5.00 Hot and Ready pizza at the Joe, he should have the balls and dough to provide an attorney, free of charge to anyone convicted of throwing an octopus.

Every time I get a hot and ready pizza its just ready so fuck you illitch. I like the octopus throwing personally.

 

[Automattic]

AMEN!

 

[ELYEAH82]

So would it be OK if other made their own tradition? How about the Flyers toss a dead Penguin on to the ice.

 

[ELYEAH82]

I would hate being tossed out of the game more than the fine

 

[johnnytata]

fuckin horse shit.

what's gary gonna do about all the assholes in montreal that threw shit on the ice after they called no-goal tonight? if he doesn't find every single person who threw shit and prosecute them he's an even bigger fuckin fuckhole than the whore of babylon.

the way to fuck gary up the ass with this fuckin regulation is for the joe to start handing out octopi at the door and have 20000 people thrwoing a collective "up yours" on the ice.
