I did catch the news about the bar fight last night. Some stranger walked into the bar and started making a fuss. It sounds like they were speaking a language noone else could understand, and the reporter was unable to comment more on that issue. The specifics of the fight are still unclear, though the bar's patrons are all accusing the stranger of having attacked without provocation. No security footage has been released to confirm anything yet, and the police are still trying to communicate with the stranger. They don't even have a name to release and are currently calling him John Doe. They did offer a mug shot of the stranger, he appears middle eastern, long dark hair and full beard. He's not otherwise wearing anything that would suggest he's Muslim, in fact his clothing all seems tailor made. Well worn, but uniquely cut so there's no way to identify brand or anything, and no labels or images on the shirt. To look at him, I almost want to say he walked out of an SCA event, or was late to the renaissance fair.
In the mug shot, he's got a black eye, but otherwise he looks like he handled himself. Medical personnel report that he gave as good as he got or better despite being outnumbered. Pictures of the other brawlers confirm that, they all look like they were beat to hell.
The fight had carried into the kitchen, and it's not clear what or how but a fire had caught. Kitchen staff were able to extinguish the fire quickly so no damage was done. DFD had been called purely as a precaution by the police. They confirmed that there was no structural damage and so business will continue without pause.
The whole thing just seems weird. And I'm too tired to worry much more about it.
