More Bad Fans

From the LA Times:

Minutes before San Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow was beaten in the Dodger Stadium parking lot, he texted a relative to say that he feared for his safety, his cousin said Tuesday.

In the text message, he said he was "scared inside the stadium," his cousin John Stow said, adding: "He doesn't use that term loosely."

A short time later, after the game had ended, the 42-year-old paramedic and father of two walked out to look for a taxi and was attacked so brutally that he remains in a coma with a brain injury.

On Tuesday, Bryan Stow's family gathered outside Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center and thanked well-wishers in Los Angeles, San Francisco and around the country for their support.

As the Dodgers head to San Francisco next week for the Giants' opening home stand, Stow's family called for civility among rival sports fans and asked those who saw anything or know the assailants to help detectives arrest those responsible.
