Clash in Fargodome parking lot leads to one arrest

Quote:
FARGO – Police pepper sprayed and arrested one person after a fight broke out between about 20 people in the Fargodome parking lot after a Sudanese peace celebration.

Officers were called to the dome’s east parking lot at 12:47 a.m. Sunday and arrived to find 20 to 30 people in the lot, a large group of them actively fighting, Sgt. Jeff Skuza said.

Officers activated their lights and sirens to scatter the crowd, but two men continued to fight with a woman between them, Skuza said.

One of the men, 18-year-old Richard Wulu, was arrested “because in the officer’s judgment, he appeared to be the aggressor,” Skuza said.

Wulu was pepper sprayed after disobeying several commands to stop fighting, Skuza said. Wulu was arrested on suspicion of resisting a peace officer.

The fight apparently started after someone was kicked out of the dome for trying to pick fights inside, Skuza said.

Machien “Justin” Luoi, one of organizers of the event, said he didn’t know what prompted the fight or who was involved.

“It was not related to the event,” he said. “It was an isolated case.”

One person was taken to MeritCare for injuries suffered when, according to witnesses, he was hit with a buckle end of a belt, Skuza said, adding the case is under review. The fight apparently started after someone was kicked out of the dome for trying to pick fights inside, Skuza said.

No Free Lunch

Those Fargo guys are so unstable.

1% of Americans pay 40% of the income tax.
5% of Americans pay 60% of the income tax.

Stenehjem has a troubling prohibitionist streak.  He was putting his weight behind a bill in the last legislative session to ban an alcohol inhaler despite a) no evidence to show that such a device had ever actually been used in ND and b) the fact that the device was relatively harmless (using it for 5 minutes was equivalent to doing a shot, which usually takes less than a second).

He was also complaining about a spike in alcohol-related traffic arrests in the state, but despite all those extra arrests traffic accidents and deaths due to alcohol have remained constant for almost a decade.  Meaning that all the arrests aren’t really changing anything.

The purpose of government shouldn’t be to do good, but simply to refrain from doing evil.

Hi everyone

I am a new member and really would appreciate some advice. for past two years I have been befriending an alcoholic. It really has been the most tragic story - this lady was only 52 and a doctor also. Anyway I have been to see her practically every day for past two years. She died suddenly last week.

The post mortem showed she died of liver failure. What I would like to know is ..................and this is what is torturing me. When I found her she was sitting in exact same position I had left her in. Also going on what she had drunk since I had last saw her day before - tells me she has died probably an hour or so after I left…... What actually happens when someone dies of liver failure? I have been torturing myself that she would have been in agony or having some sort of seizure/attack?

I am so sorry to be so morbid but this is tearing me apart. She only had me. She had more money than all my family and friends put together but she had nothing. She was terrified of life.
Regards, Richardson
