Wow! I had to read more on this, and of course there is TMZ on the scene today too.
Hearkening to his instincts from the rink, Bissonnette did get involved to try to stop the situation that involved six drunk golfers at the venue,
and then it sounds like these drunk dudes threw down their golf gloves,
and well I guess then it was back to the fighting instincts from the rink but without skates or gear.
Even so any wandering laughs aside, and just as happened, these situations can be really dangerous no matter what shape you are in simply because you quite do not know exactly who are your opponents in any given public or street fight, plus there are no rules.
In this case they all might have been more than merely drunk too.
“There was a bit of a ruckus going on in the bar,” Bissonette said. “It was a bunch of drunk golfers. Things obviously continue to escalate. They ask one guy to leave, and one guy kept getting in the manager’s face and put his hands on him.”
The 39-year-old said it went on for 30-45 seconds before he intervened, telling the man in the manager’s face … “If you continue to harass and assault the staff, we’re gonna have problems.”
That’s when things turned physical, with Bissonette explaining, “They started chucking” throughout the restaurant and even into the nearby CVS parking lot.
“Got taken down a couple times,” he said. “Got boot f****d to the head three times by the CVS. Luckily I didn’t get knocked out. Did go to the hospital, so that’s probably what everybody is reading about.”
The article goes on that the police did arrive and Bissonnette did speak with them, and all six dudes were arrested after the investigation.
I certainly hope that the restaurant presses charges too and that those who kicked his head do some hard time as well as pay up for damages in a civil case.
