http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2104884/Shock-jock-Michael-Berry-accused-hit-run-drinking-gay-bar.html<snip>
The shock jock [Michael Berry] stopped off for a beer at a well-known gay bar in Houston, Texas, then supposedly crashed his truck into a bouncers car and caused $1,500 of damage.
Berry, who is known for his anti-Muslim and racist rants, was said to have driven off without stopping to give his details. He was identified when the bouncer wrote down his number plate.
...
Berry responded by claiming that he had no idea TCs was a gay bar, even though it is located on a quiet street in a drab industrial building with a tiny sign.
A few doors down is the gay porn video store and sex shop Black Hawk Leather and Video.
<snip>
He says he only went there because of the cold beer. Riiiiiiiiiiight. Must have been some pretty damned good cold beer.

OP
So "not knowing it was a gay bar" justifies the hit and run? How so, Michael?

"I went to the bar because there was cold beer waiting inside. Is that a crime? The fact that Im not afraid of the fact that some of the people inside may be gay makes it a bad thing?"
Bad, no. Hypocritical and credibility-destroying, yes. And by the way, how do you explain this?
Managers of the bar...turned over security camera video from inside the club to HPD investigators, and they write in an e-mail to Local 2 Investigates..."Mr. Berry is one of those customers who has been to our establishment. The video in question...shows Mr. Berry in our establishment...The local authorities have requested this same video and they are in possession to assist with their investigation."

Sounds like you were a regular at TC's, Berry-boy -- woe unto you if they release additional surveillance videos! And now that you've admitted that you WERE there, why can't you explain what happened after you left -- were you carjacked? Anyhoo, this one's on me!

I don't think that lame diversion attempt is going to play, Michael.
