Police: Austin man 'grinded' on woman at bar before throwing glass at her face

http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/crime/article/Police-Texas-man-grinded-on-woman-at-bar-7383707.php

An Austin man "grinded" on a woman at a bar before calling her a "the dumbest b****h (he) had ever met" and throwing a glass at her face, causing blood to "gush" from her face, police said.

Christopher Taber Depolo, 29, has been charged with aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury, a second-degree felony, in the April 17 incident.

The woman told Austin police that she was with friends at The Container Bar — located in the popular Rainey Street bar district in downtown Austin — when she felt a hand around her waist and someone "grinding" on her from behind, according to a criminal complaint filed in Travis County court on Thursday....

Depolo responded by berating the woman in a mocking tone and blocked the doorway, according to the complaint.


Dude, this is not what they mean by "Keep Austin Weird"!

Once ordinary folks start getting priced out, the place starts to go to hell because of the anxiety produced by the changes.

but didn't get to slam me with a glass because two seconds after contact in one swift move I broke his nose with my elbow and he was out of by the time he hit the floor. I let someone else call an ambulance for him. He was lucky that he was unconscious with the first blow, I would have hit him a few more times just to make sure he got the message. I was buffed out like SheRa back then, big mistake for that clown.

One of his buddies was gonna accost me too but I challenged him, looked him right in the eye and asked him if he wanted to join his pal in the ambulance. He slithered away while everyone else laughed at him.

That happened in Texas too.

This worthless POS loser is gonna get some time in the joint I think.

He kind of has a Ted Cruz face with hair!

at UVM. I told him to knock it off a number of times and when he wouldn't I turned around and grabbed his crotch as hard as I could. The look of shock on his face was priceless. Of course, I was a bit drunk when I did it, but I don't regret it. He had it coming.

Feel sorry for the people who used to live on Rainey Street and had to get out of the way for a raging (but, hey, hipper!) alternative to 6th Street. Went down there to meet friends once several years ago and would never go back. Marauding packs of drunk college kids... no thanks. In so, so many ways Austin ain't what it used to be. Makes me so sad...
