Oh no! I love Joxer Daly's and Mehaul is such a cool, nice guy. I hope he recovers quickly.

I hope someone catches this guy, I've also met Mr. O'Leary at his bar, he and his wife are both very kind and open.

Sad incident, do we know which hospital? I'd like to send kind words.

Who came up with the fauxhawk? Seriously this guy must have gotten mad from comments about his stupid hair cut. And then the facial hair? I hear guys in prison like their women all fancied up - think this winner is ready.

Hope the council member has a fast recovery.
