The owner has the right to ban anyone from their private property. Why not just do that instead of getting an order from a judge to “not say bingo”?

“Fire” in a crowded room is one thing but when we start giving orders denying people free speech over a frickin game, that is a very slippery slope...

"When Whaley got to Kenton District Court, Gannett reported, he was ordered not to say the word “bingo” for six months.

He could have faced 90 days in jail and a $250 fine on the disorderly conduct charge, a misdemeanor."

A ridiculous reaction to a harmless prank! Pathetic, insignificant little tyrants. If ever there is a revolution in this country, I hope the backlash is severe.

Lets hope they keep this menace off the street. Good grief.

Y’know ... law enforcement might not get the bad rap it does if officers weren’t expected to spend so much time enforcing stupid laws against non-criminals. Its a prank. Not funny. Not a crime. Let it go.

I’m surprised they didn’t stop by his house to shoot his dog.

No its hilarious. i go down the street to the local pub on wednes. nights just to watch the living dead play bingo.
just amazing to me how you can get so involved in an ignorant game like bingo, where you might take home a profit of $40. They actually have a plastic pig that goes to the big winner of the night. Thank God for Hockey on the tv.More than one of those old birds can really pack away the cocktails.This kids lucky he wasdn’t disembowled

Am I the only person who finds the fact that this young jerk got busted for disorderly conduct funny?”

Nope - there would now be at least two of us.

I had played Bingo before but only with one card and kernels of corn to be placed on the square of a called number. Texas Bingo is something like nothing else.

When I first came to Houston in 1985 one of my friends asked me if I wanted to join them at their regular Saturday night Bingo outing. I had played Bingo before but only with one card and we used kernels of corn which we placed on the square of a called number. Texas Bingo is something like nothing else I had never seen.

Huge room which could easily hold several hundred people.
Sat down at the nearest table and was quickly told I couldn’t sit there because it was “so and so’s” chair, although I certainly didn’t see any names on any chairs. The room quickly became filled with various and sundry people including many women with - yes, the famous pink sponge curlers. New arrivals would buy a huge stack of cards, make their way to “their” chair, placed a pillow on it and then plop down.

They painstakingly arranged their cards in front of them - most had at least ten they played all at once - they spent the next period of time arranging all their own special self-inking dobbers in some special sequence and then sat very quietly waiting for the play to begin. Other than the word “Bingo” always followed by an assortment of exclamations depending on whether one won or lost, nary a word was spoken.

Funniest and strangest evening of my early time in Texas. When they say “Don’t Mess with Texas”, that also includes Bingo. Had this jerk walked into that hall that night and yelled Bingo, I suspect someone would have shot him.

I used to announce blue light specials at K-Mart as a yute on their PA when there was no special and I didn’t work there.

Nowdays I’d be in GITMO.

No, not at all.

My husband works in a nursing home and the one thing you do not do is screw with Bingo. lol

The teen could have been charged with ‘Tortious interference of a lawful business and it’s customers’

I couldn’t stop laughing while reading the article.

I wonder how much trouble I could get into if I went into Congress and yelled, “Bullsh*t”!

I’ll bet many folks don’t realize there’s something called a Bingo machine...not for picking the numbers but rather for each user so they don’t have to put kernels of corn (or blot out the number) on pieces of paper. It is all automated. The players sit there and as the numbers come up and are called the lights on these machines at each person’s place are illuminated. The machines automatically tell the players when they have a Bingo.
