Gym Class Hero Travis Arrested For Assault!
03 July 2008
And here we thought he was a nice boy! Gym Class Heroes front-man Travis McCoy has been arrested in St. Louis Missouri, charged with 3rd degree assault after he punched a concert-goer!GCH were playing on the Vans Warped Tour in St. Louis, Missouri and had just finished their first song when a member of the audience called McCoy a "f***ing ignorant n****r."
Security were removing the ungrateful punter from the crowd when Travis hit him on the head repeatedly with his microphone.
Racism isn't cool but violence isn't the answer either!
McCoy has apologised, sorta. OK not really.
"I'm sorry. But when someone calls you something that ignorant and that offensive, you have to bash their head in with a microphone," he said.
He was released on a $500 bond.
Silly boy!

Celebs think they can get away with ANYTHING. They escape reality. What he said was out of line. But i still reckon his an awsum entertainer. Mistakes happen. x

I think you exaggerated it a bit there. The guy had it coming to him though saying what he did and then jumping the barrier to confront Travvie.

i heard that he tried to get the guy up onstage and the guy kneed him so trav just hit back in self defence... travie rocks nevertheless

that kid had it coming. It was just wrong what he said and I don't think Travis, or and Afro-American should have to put up with crap from ignorant kids like that. Seriously, the kid should've been arrested.
