Re: Paul Pierce, of course

[Hironaka <j.hironaka@unesco.org>]

    Scary thought. But when a fight is over a woman as reported, it is
generally always strictly personal. I'm not sure to what lengths any friend
or "homie" would go to get back at Paul Pierce over someone else's
girlfriend or wannabe girlfriend. Nor is it Pierce's fault that the retard
attacker tried to kill him in a club packed with witnesses. We'll need more
details.

    What bothers and surprises me is that the attacker got away in such a
crowded club, while Battie and others were presumably powdering their noses.
Until the guy is arrested, I don't imagine Pierce is going to be sleeping
easily. But I hope all the trouble ends with the arrest.
