A mini-riot erupted at Heathrow airport after rapper Snoop Dogg and a 30-strong entourage clashed with police in a departure lounge.
The men - mostly minders - apparently turned violent after being refused entry to a first-class lounge, smashing up a duty free shop, throwing bottles and attacking officers.
It took riot police over an hour to arrest the "20-stone men", who were then led out in handcuffs, with one shouting: "This is how it goes down in LA."
Witnesses believe the group, who were travelling from the US to South Africa, were refused entry to the British Airways lounge as only a few had first-class tickets. It is thought they became abusive towards staff and were turned away from their flight, running riot when police tried to guide them out of the airport.
Six men, including the 34-year-old American rapper, were arrested. A Heathrow worker, who took photos from his mobile phone, said: "There were all these huge, 20-stone men smashing up display cabinets and throwing people around. I saw Snoop Dogg on the ground, with four riot police trying to put him in handcuffs. His minders were throwing bottles at people.
"There were 15 riot vans and eight police cars outside, with dog sniffer units. They were throwing the policemen around like pillows. Then the police used pepper spray on them." The row is thought to have been witnessed by Ronan
Keating, who was in the Terminal 1 lounge.
Snoop Dogg, real name Calvin Broadus, is a former drug dealer and gang member. He comes from one of LA's most notorious areas and has been accused of several crimes during his life - including murder, although he was acquitted.
Six men were arrested for violent disorder and affray.
A 'stone' is approximately 14 lbs. Twenty stone = 280 lbs. Heavy dudes!
haha!!
just checked out your home page, i can try to FReepmail you the link to that Cartman audio if you don't have it? I have it on Ipod... : )
They are - when the situation calls for it.
Shootout at the duty-free corral would hardly be desirable.
Too bad the cops don't have a "gay ray" gun that turns people in to raging queers. It would be very gratifying to see all thse gang bangers suddenly turn into flaming poofs and see how their fans liked that.
A "20 stone man" is the British equivalent of saying "that guy must have weighed 300 pounds".
I bet if these coppers had guns, the D-O-Double Jizzle and his homies would have been much more cooperative.
Why isn't "Chrysler Spokesman" listed among his attributes? Or did I miss that?
"where is MadIvan when you need him?"
Hi Ivan! Wow! Ask and you shall receive!
Poop Dogg acts like an African dictator, right down to the fact that he has to travel with 30 "minders" (i.e., body-thugs).
1 Stone = 14 pounds
1 stone = 14 pounds. 20 stone=280 lbs.
1 Stone = 14 pounds
I'm afraid it is, AP -- at least, a ghetto-thug "black thing." Poop Dogg "owns" these thugs. British football hooligans just run around in packs.
Big guys!!
"Affray" is such a cool word.
Yeah, I guess. I'm embarrassed to admit that I had to go to dictionary.com to get the meaning of the word, which is:
"A fight between two or more people in a public place that disturbs the peace."
I for one, thought that the idea of exporting these num-nuts was a brilliant idea! I do feel badly for the Brits who now have to figure out what to do with them.
Something involving pork pies come to mind. Sweeny Todd perhaps?
Exactly. We pamper these thugs in America, always making excuses for them.
This is what happens when uneducated thugs become millionaires. Mike Tyson redux.
Amen. It's my observation that if the political left had not completely hijecked the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, black folks would be fully and truly into American society at this juncture.
