Yale Bashing
Thursday, January 11, 2007

Move over Duke, we have a real assault in the Yale community. For those of you who haven't been following this story, a Yale singing group was assaulted on the streets of San Francisco on New Year's Eve after singing the National Anthem at a private party. The trouble began when some Sacred Heart graduates crashed the party, reports a local TV station, and by many reports, became jealous at the attention the young men from Yale were receiving.

They repeatedly tried to start a fight. Nineteen year-old Richard Aicardi, wearing a Santa hat at the party, called in reinforcements and a nearby surveillance camera caught one vehicle that brought some of the attackers. They ganged up on the members of The Baker's Dozen as they trickled out of the party.
Sharyar Aziz's jaw was broken in two places. He had to be rushed back to New York for reconstructive surgery. His jaw is wired shut. Other members of the group suffered black eyes, scrapes, a severely sprained ankle and a serious concussion.

Now a new controversy has erupted that SF police tried to overlook the story. Much more heat yet to come.
