So far this is all dog bites man because, obviously, a jackass with impulse control issues is going to do stupid stuff. But what about the guy who’s hanging out with the guy with impulse issues? Sen.

“I didn’t witness anything unusual,” Kelsey was quoted as saying. “But it was obvious the officer had asked questions of a Florida fan behind us.”
