Back in 2006 their was an incident at the Lofts downtown where Mayor Wynn lives. I wasn’t there, but from what I have heard and read, the story goes something like this: The man goes to the lofts for a party specifically to meet the Mayor. The Mayor is in a conversation, so the man waits. When the Mayor finishes his conversation, he introduces himself to the man. The man quickly becomes rude and obnoxious. The Mayor tells him to leave. The man continues to bother the Mayor. The Mayor grabs him and escorts him out of the party. That’s it in a nutshell.
Almost two years later, the Mayor has been charged with assault. I understand that you have to treat the Mayor like any other citizen so that their is no bias, but I am not sure I believe that a normal citizen would have been charged for something like this. In fact, I think that many people would have done exactly what the Mayor did if found in a similar situation.
The Mayor now has to attend anger management counseling. I, for one, think that the man being escorted out of the party should attend some counseling. What do you think?
CITIZEN CHOKED BY DRUNKEN AUSTIN MAYOR!
Listen to the actual 911 Call, read the Police report:
“…THE MAYOR WAS WAGGING HIS FINGER AT JOHNSON, SAYING “SHIT STAIN”, THEN DRAG JOHNSON OUT OF THE POOL AREA. ZDRILICH THEN HEARD JOHNSON SAY, “I DID NOT MEAN TO CAUSE ANY OFFENSE”. ZDRILICH ADVISED THAT HE HEARD A THRUST AGAINST THE FENCE. THE MAYOR THEN WALKED OUT BY THE POOL AREA AND ASKED IF ANYONE KNEW LUKE JOHNSON. THE MAYOR STATED, IF ANYONE KNEW LUKE JOHNSON WILL HAVE HELL TO PAY.”
“…THE MAYOR GRABBED HIM BY THE NECK.”
“…THE MAYOR HAS SLAPPED/CHOKED HIM”
