-One of the of the 415 Gang who was charged is in police custody, that being Brian Dwyer who surrendered to the police. He is said to have admitted to kicking one of the Yalies while he was on the ground with the intention to hurt him. The ringleader of the 415 Gang, Richard Aicardi, hasn't gone to the police yet but is telling everyone that the whole thing is more complicated than it comes off as and that he was acting in self-defense. In fact, his whole call to his "20 strong" (we see a sequel to 300 in which twenty local Catholic school boys hold off a horde of glee club members, sacrificing themselves to save San Francisco from acapella groups) because he thought he needed back up to save him from a possible glee club attack. He did admit, however, that he threw a couple of "haymakers" and for those who don't know what a haymaker is, according to the Urban Dictionary, a "haymaker" is a an exceptionally loud, resounding fart. Hmmm... maybe we grabbed the wrong definition there. On the other hand, going around viciously farting on people could be seen as assault.
-Defense attorney Whitney Leigh is not happy with all this. The parents of the kids at Yale are not happy with all this. And Gavin is not happy with all of this, even though he once played kind of wishy-washy about the whole thing. On the other hand, he said all that before, well, you know.
-Matier & Ross say that neither kid will probably become somebody's shower buddy in prison as it's a hard case to prove anything and that most experts think it'll be too impossible to get a felony charge of assault with intent to commit bodily harm. They're saying Accardi and Dwyer are probably looking at some community service work. One cool tid-bit in M&R's story is that a cop says that the Yale kids responded with Accardi's "don't mess with the 415" with a reply of "yeah, well, we're 212." So...so...sad.
