Assault is assault. If you throw a cup of ice in someone's face, expect a reaction. It's not equal rights if the defender has to determine the gender of the assailant before defending him/herself. Had it been a man in place of that woman, it would have been socially acceptable. Selective equal rights at it's finest!
... notice that the girl got on stage to continue, after she had plenty of opportunities to get away, Ben never went 'off stage'... Ever been to a punk rock show? Little wanna be punk girl just needed some attention, and now she got it... It's seemingly easy to piss off your fans, but how about fans pissing off the bands?
I think the whole point is don't throw crap at the band male or female. I guess in this day and age to be PC. he should have stopped the show refused to play and had the woman arrested and brought a lawsuit against her for assault.
I caught a bottle to the dome in chicago, jumped off the stage and chased the dude down, while bleeding, took a paper towel wrapped it in duct tape and kept playing, btw thanks whoever stole my gibson marauder, i hate your guts
COME TO A PUNK SHOW,NO MATTER WHO IS THROWING IT,AND YOU MIGHT GET BEAT UP...THATS LIKE A 27 YEAR OLD RULE...DEEPAK,YOU ARE TOO SOFT TO BE IN THIS SCENE,...LONG LIVE BEN WEASEL...DEEPAK,,,THIS WONT GET YOU ANYTHING BUT HATE,AUSTIN IS MAD SMALL....GOOD LUCK YO;,YOURE GONNA NEED IT,BEN HAS PEOPLE....U HAVE,,,NOTHING...I HOPE U ENJOYED YOUR 15 MINS, OF FAME.
The entire news article was taken out of context. Don't believe everything you hear. Any publicity is good publicity. I was at the Dallas show right before sxsw. Ben was talking shit on Austin, I live in FTW. Great show, WEASEL rocks!!!
Dude, I'm from Chicago, and I have to question whether this is newsworthy. Do you have any clue how many stories I've heard about Ben Weasel getting in fights for stupid reasons? Literally hundreds.
Ben Weasel and SW are legends. I could care less about what he's like on a personal level. I grew up on his music and that's all that matters. I'll never turn my back on one of my idols because he punched some dumbass chick who thought she was "cool" for heckling him.
he only punched one woman. get your facts straight news guy. He just kinda pushed the other girl off of him. Girls! you want equal rights until a dude hits you. Think about if you really want EQUAL rights
I saw your show in Denver last august.. Damn good show.. Come back to Colorado preferably Fort Collins.. We mosh instead of throwing stuff, and if for some reason some one does I'll kick their ass guy/ girl, makes no difference.
Anger management classes ? It's a punk show what would you expect Peace love and hugs for throwing crap at the band ? If you want hugs and kisses go to a stink foot hippy show. Seems I remember things being a lot rougher at DK. shows in the city way back when. I guess punk needs to be kinder and gentler for this era of kids so the law don't get called.
@bulletstobroadway hi ! i´m from Mexico City, i have a a question, i have heard a lot of the expression "pop punk message board" what does it means?,, there´s even a song from the band SHECKIES called that way.. cheers,, i love Teen Idols =)
@jetblack2123 I read a few comments on punknews.org and one of the comments was "he's behaving the same as he always has" or along those lines. I hate that it ended like this, but if that's how he's always acted, why is anyone surprised?
No almost. i'm one of the people that think if you throw crap at the band your looking for a fight. It's not the late 70's early 80's anymore the sex pistols and The DK"s are long gone. Most of us have long ago grown up. If you dont care for the band or the message dont go to the show. I guess he could have stopped the show and called the law and had her arrested for assault right ?
i am saying this as a woman i don't beleive that men should hit women but if they put them selve in that position then they better be ready to fight back he probaly didn't even realize that that was a women cause i didn't at 1st cause she was dressed like a dude with her hair up i'm sure that he will get on probation n owe the state or the girls all kind of money plus they will send him to anger management

Frr
He's such a snowflake. Assault is assault...lol. I didn't realize he was such a woke snowflake.
He didn't punch 'em hard enough!
IKR
He said he was gonna punch her in the face and she walked up there anyways. I don't see the problem.
BEN CAN DO IT!
A special thanks to the drunk girls that ruined my favourite band! Hope you'll never go to a punk rock show
so punk rock.. Ben Weasel rules!!!!!
If chicks want to act hardcore, then they deserve to be treated hardcore...
FOX news doesn´t know anything about punk rock !!!
only if she threw ice at gg allins she wouldve got a big reaction
he clearly didn't hit either of them hard enough.
Tonight on Fox News At 11: Screeching Weasel fans who don't understand Ben's lyrics are directed at them.
@DSP Historical Society ha, forgot about this. Still rings true tho! :)
EQUAL RIGHTS EQUAL FIGHTS

Ben does it he is shunned by everyone but Chris Brown does it he is shunned for a week.

That broad deserved it!

way to go cousin!. Fuck feminism. Hit me I hit you - gotta love it!!!
equal rights = equal fights, what s the problem gay USAY?
"looks like a bartender" ?... ooh shit yea she was wearing a bright yellow badge that say's bartender haha wtf?
Dude, you shouldn't be wearing a Bad Religion shirt...
Ben is a god. she started it.
It's okay for a woman to throw punches at a man for doing the same thing. But when it's the other way around it's wrong
Men punch women behind closed doors. Ben Weasel Punches Women in public. typical Ben
Women who want equality should get it. This is a perfect case of that, being that she threw ice at him.
They are no longer fans… they are superfans! Equal rights…& lefts 👊🏻
This dork saying “ Screeching Weasel” 😂
Damn Ben, If you had just hit Rebecca Black you would have been hailed as a national hero.
Based sigma chad over 9000.
Only if he hit these news anchors
I wi always be a fan and that twat deserved it girl or not don't fuck with someone and think u won't get punched!! Love ya Ben!
Whiny Weasel's constant complaining hurts much more than his punches.
The entire news article was taken out of context. Don't believe everything you hear. Any publicity is good publicity. I was at the Dallas show right before sxsw. Ben was talking shit on Austin, I live in FTW. Great show, WEASEL rocks!!!

I couldn't have said it better myself man!!
Ben Weasel and SW are legends. I could care less about what he's like on a personal level. I grew up on his music and that's all that matters. I'll never turn my back on one of my idols because he punched some dumbass chick who thought she was "cool" for heckling him.
Make America Great Again.
i love the cobra skulls shirt!
He's punching what looks like a bartender there
Shit happens, man.
he punched a female concert goer and the female bar owner. horrible.
......yeah, let's forget to give publicity to all the positive things he's offered the world and focus on the negative.
I'm curious what has Mr. WEASEL offered to the world positive besides his music?
he only punched one woman. get your facts straight news guy. He just kinda pushed the other girl off of him. Girls! you want equal rights until a dude hits you. Think about if you really want EQUAL rights
I saw your show in Denver last august.. Damn good show.. Come back to Colorado preferably Fort Collins.. We mosh instead of throwing stuff, and if for some reason some one does I'll kick their ass guy/ girl, makes no difference.
I think they should invite the girl to a justin bieber concert...
Punk rock
It looks like a bartender there lol
haha.. when is ben weasel not complaining....
Who the hell would throw stuff at him he's a punk rock God
The best part in this video is the Cobra Skulls t-shirt.
Anger management classes ? It's a punk show what would you expect Peace love and hugs for throwing crap at the band ? If you want hugs and kisses go to a stink foot hippy show.

good deepak and peter, we dont need you guys to be screeching weasel fans.
Seems to me them women were askin’ for it.
@bulletstobroadway hi ! i´m from Mexico City, i have a a question, i have heard a lot of the expression "pop punk message board" what does it means?,, there´s even a song from the band SHECKIES called that way.. cheers,, i love Teen Idols =)
hahaha ben looked like he was having a hard time with that tall girl, good for him. not that violence against women is funny. oh wait, I guess it is!
i did he sadly didnt take me up on the offer thanks for the advice though mate
Man, wish someone got a better angle on that first punch.
Fuck yeah BEN WEASEL
@jetblack2123 I read a few comments on punknews.org and one of the comments was "he's behaving the same as he always has" or along those lines. I hate that it ended like this, but if that's how he's always acted, why is anyone surprised?
Cause it's two women that he punched and in society's rules that's a no no to punch a woman.
Fox News is a joke.
Deepak and Peter: If you dont like the way he rolls, then stop going to his shows and buying his music. Simple. Everyone is happy.
No almost. i'm one of the people that think if you throw crap at the band your looking for a fight. It's not the late 70's early 80's anymore the sex pistols and The DK"s are long gone.

What a crock...The Dallas show was awesome, and the band was great to deal with!
if you throw ice you deserve to be punched, if you push a person you deserve to be punched too, so Ben just did what they started.
....no knup left ta werry 'bout.
RIGHT IN THE OVARIES
good for him
Ben Weasel...MAKING POP-PUNK A THREAT AGAIN!
SO PUNK!!!!

Ben Weasel is a god. If you pick a fight male or female, be prepared for one.
LOL
