But seriously, what is the world coming too. People getting stabbed over a 1/2 seat? What is next, metal detectors and clothing searches before you can enter the room?

I miss the days where if you took someone outside, it was a fair fight with fists, no knive pullings and no gun shots.

This guy looks familiar - does anyone else recognize him as a mid limit regular there? Talk about a story I don't want my rents to read in the newspaper (considering I play at Taj a lot!). Jeez.

Yes, it is a shame someone lost their life over something as silly as a seat at a poker table. But I really don't feel sad for the guy in this case. If the story posted is accurate, the guy who was killed went outside looking for a confrontation. Come on, if someone is beating you with a cane, you wouldn't do whatever it took to defend yourself? My take is that when you are beating a guy with a cane, you deserve whatever you get.

This story gives good reason to:

A) Why internet poker should be legal
B) It is better to have a knife in the "bat Vs knife" scenario

If someone wants my seat that bad, they may have it. Sorry that took place.

What he said.

That's why you don't take a bat to a knife fight.

Safe to say that someone (politicians) will take this as another example of why to not open more casinos in PA & other places because of the chance of crime.

Safe to say that some whacked group of anti-casino peeps will also use this to cause casinos to get metal detectors & such. Just what we need, more min. wage people that are pissed cause of their $$$ not do their job and making things more uncomfortable for all.

True, but more then likely, your just going to severely get the **** beat out of you with the cane, your not going to die from it like you could with a knive or gun.
