http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/05/23/philly-man-shoots-up-strip-club-with-ak-47-after-dj-plays-wrong-song/Police in Philadelphia are hoping that video of a man shooting up a strip club with an AK-47 assault rifle over a DJs song selection will lead to his arrest.
Investigators on Wednesday said that 21-year-old Henry Pettigrew was being sought for the May 11th shooting at Purple Orchid Gentlemans Club.
Police said that bouncers at the club tried to remove him after he became angry because the DJ would not play his favorite song.
Pettigrew and an accomplice then assaulted a customer, who they mistook for one of the bouncers. When the customer ran to the parking lot and tried to flee in his SUV, Pettigrew grabbed an AK-47 and began firing at the vehicle. The customer was hit above his right hip and was expect to recover.

That said, this clown is an IDIOT. AND a criminal.
I hope he does a long stretch in the pokey.
