You just can't make this stuff up.

Larry McKelvey, a Dallas Cowboys fan caught on tape using his stun gun on three people at Sunday night's Jets game, is defending his awful conduct.

The New York Daily News reports a group of Gang Green fans disapproved when McKelvey failed to stand for the national anthem and talked on his cell phone during a moment of silence for 9/11 victims. The 59-year-old said "I did what I had to do." He claims he's not a "criminal" and was just protecting himself.

The condemned Cowboys fan was released on $22,500 bail Monday night from a New Jersey jail. McKelvey's son, a New York radio deejay, told the newspaper it's against his Jehovah Witness father's religious beliefs to stand for the national anthem....

A witness told the Daily News that McKelvey was being "obnoxious," and chatted with friends during "Taps." When he attempted to get up and use the restroom, nobody would let him out. That led to some mean-spirited words and the use of the taser.

WWJT? :eyes:

1. Douche

McKelvey failed to stand for the national anthem and talked on his cell phone during a moment of silence for 9/11 victims.

Not cool, not cool at all. Especially the cell phone piece during the moment of silence.

... that, and wearing Cowboys gear in the Meadowlands. It's just not on.

2. Shouldn't have used a taser..

the cell phone either..and the religious defense obviously is loony. However, I'm not aware of any rule which says you're obligated to stand for the national anthem. Those Jets fans sound like assholes..takes at least two to tango.

3. Our city, our stadium, our rules

You simply do not wear Cowboys kit to a Jets game.

5. What? That's utter bullshit

You can wear what you like. In Dallas, you'd be allowed and possibly good naturetly hassled. The world heard Ryan make his statement about fans for other teams in the meadowlands. Stupid fans gravitate to that shit. Like you.

4. 2011's becoming the year of jackass fan-on-fan violence.

Fuck that guy. I hope he enjoys the jail time and criminal record. What a dumbshit.

(Edited cause I read it as a Jets fan doing the tasering)
