"They beat me like a slave"

I saw a tape of this on CNN Japan today, and it was brutality....
On Saturday, a 'loyal fan' was beat down on stage at the "How The West Was One" tour featuring Snoop Dogg and The Game.

This weekend, 24-year-old Richard Monroe claims that he was pummeled after jumping on stage to dance to the "Gin and Juice" classic at the Snoop Dogg and Game concert at the White River Amphitheatre in Auburn. Monroe reported to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer that he was attacked by approximately twelve people who punched and kicked him repeatedly. He also alleged that they stole his watch, cell phone, wallet, and diamond studs.

Yes, and it was weird because after the first 300 pound bodyguard got ahold of this guy, I didn't really see him. Mostly I just saw fists flying at him while he was presumably lying on the ground. Ouch.

Oh yes, and the CNN anchor, Soledad O'Brian, laughed after viewing the footage, saying "Heh heh, I guess you shouldn't go onstage at a Snoop concert."

Thanks for the tip, Soledad.
