Moment of Zen: Vinnie Jones glassed during US bar brawl
I didn’t shed a single tear on hearing that Vinne Jones had been glassed in the face during a bar fight in South Dakota. Jones’ nose was reportedly cut to the bone after a pool player hurled a beer glass at him; Jones retaliated by attacking one of the perpetrator’s friends:
How much sympathy is it possible to feel for a thug who has built both of his careers (football and movies) around the threat of violence (cartoonish or not)?
Jones was arrested for assault and now faces up to a year in prison in the States.

Ah yes, it’s harder to be a ‘hard man’ here in the US. In South Dakota he was lucky no one pulled out a pistol and shot him. That stuff happens even here in relatively civilized Wisconsin.
There’s a few bars I’ve played music in on the south side of Chicago where Vinnie wouldn’t last five minutes.

please note, the video above has clearly been edited by the sun.
the sun said he re entered the pool area of the bar after fattie had thrown him to the floor like a ragdoll, to continue the fight. but watch the timeline and this is definatly not the case. fattie cannot even be seen in the initail footage of the confrontation

lol, vinne jones launchesan attack at the fat man in the beginning but the fatman takes the best vinnie has to offer then swings him to the ground, had jones’s friends not been there it looks like the big man would have whooped vinnies ass, lol
