As I was waiting three hours to be eventually turned away from the Thor/Captain America panel in Hall H at Comic Con today, we saw police lead away this guy, wearing a blood-stained Harry Potter shirt. We all booed him for some reason, and a black dude near me said, “Aw, it had to be a black guy, didn’t it. That f*cker!”
Anyway, word around the campfire is, the guy being led away by the police stabbed another guy in the face with a pen, possibly in the eye. People are saying it’s the worst thing to happen to the fanboy community since Tommy Fitzgivens went rape crazy at Chewbacca-Con ’96. Sweat on my space suit, LA Times:
As attendees waited for Seth Rogen and other panelists to take the stage, security officials stormed up one aisle in the cavernous space with a stretcher. A commotion ensued as hundreds of attendees strained to get a better look (and a hundred cell-phone cameras flashed). A few minutes later, a man with a cut on his face was wheeled out on the stretcher.
It’s funny, because if someone had asked me how I like standing in line for three hours, I would’ve told them “I’d rather jam a f*cking pen in my eye.”
UPDATE: More from ComicBookResources:
Shortly after the incident, CBR News was on the scene to capture a photo of the stabbing suspect in police custody and to speak with Sergeant Gary Mondesir of the San Diego Police Department about the incident.
“Basically, inside of Hall H during Comic-Con, prior to one of the showings, two males got into a dispute,” Sergeant Mondesir said. “One male attacked the other male, stabbing him on the side of his eye with a pen. Officers were relatively close by. Citizens within the hall detained the person. Officers came and arrested him, and right now we’re processing the scene inside.”
The sergeant explained that the dispute did break out after one person stated that the other person sitting through a panel to attend a later one should leave. “He’ll be charged with assault with a deadly weapon due to the stabbing in the eye.”



That’s the guy? I thought Danny Trejo did it after someone insulted the Machete taco truck.
Looks like somebody is now ‘Undesirable Number 1′, LOL(its on the HP shirt).
Machete Taco is my band name DON’T STEAL.
I have a nagging feeling he just wore that HP t-shirt to get in and stab somebody.
Jamming in the f*cking pen – The bestiality musical sensation that’s sweeping the nation!
10 points deducted from Hufflepuff.
Alternatively, a sign at ComicCon: The fucking pen is for yiffing.
I’m sure the nerds greeted Fatneck McUtilitybelt there as one of their own.
Let’s see if I predicted this year’s shocking Comic Con moment!

“An obsessive fanboy took things too far.”
DINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDING
The guy on the very right edge of the shot has his fist clenched in righteous nerd rage . . . he may slap someone.
The dude was hitting on his fleshlight, ok… What was stabby supposed to do? Take sloppy seconds?!?
I’m sitting here with my Sorting Hat over my genitals. It’s funny because I have no idea what it means.
The pen is mightier than the sword. But those cops clearly have guns on their utility belts.
“VISIO DESTRUCTO!” screamed The Harry Potter fanboy as he stabbed with his makeshift wand.
“two males got in a dispute”. Thanks, as if there could be any other combination of sexes.
@tonSa–”pen is”
Heh.
Clearly they were fighting over a woman. Ha ha, good one Jay. See you in Azkaban son.
Oh LA Times re: Harry Potter shirt–
“prompting more than a few quips from attendees that he may still be irate after the film franchise’s lackluster event earlier in the day”
They should check out this site. “prompting more than a few quips from Drunkards about baby rape.”
Also: “attendees went back to whooping and hollering.” Clearly this panel was held on the Joad family farm.
Or at the Number 6 dance.
It makes the story twice as good if you imagine them fighting over Dumbledore’s sexuality.
Looks like this nerd finally got his…
*sunglasses*
ballpoint across
YEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH
Only at Comic-Con would an argument over whether or not Hon shot first end in violence.
<rambo>
He drew first blot.
</rambo>
They pull a pen, you pull an Etch-A-Sketch. They draw a mustache on one of yours, you draw a dick on one of theirs. That’s the Comic Con way.
Has the media blamed this on violent video games yet? Or is that too 1990′s?
Either way, I’m kind of impressed that some guys who probably spend all day playing WoW have enough energy to fight each other.
“That’s the dumbest reason to become violent I’ve ever heard,” said John Hinckley.
Ya’ see what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass?! you see what happens?!
Eye see what Eye did there!
Hmmm, I might have just ordered up a hot plate of bad karma…
But, were they waiting to see a good panel? Cause I would go all stabby if that Meyer bitch was there.
Waiting for Seth Rogan wouldn’t make me stabby. It would make me wonder what had gone so terribly wrong in my life.
So true, Shop.
Aw shit, now that dude’s not going to get to enjoy his 3DS.
WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN YOU DON’T KNOW WHO “WARREN THE APE IS”?!?!?!?!?
*stab*
Seth Green, on the other hand…
I wish this line were smaller, if only i knew magic…
“Avada Cadavra”
*waves pen like wand, stabs guy in eye*
“I’m A WIZARD!!”
If this doesn’t give nerds street cred, I may have to shoot up a Gamestop.
