BILOXI, MS (WLOX) -
A Grammy nominated entertainer is in trouble with Biloxi police after he decked a female fan during a Fat Tuesday performance.

Joseph Foreman, aka Afroman, was on stage at Kress Live Tuesday afternoon following Biloxi's Mardi Gras parade. While he played his guitar, a woman walked on stage. Seconds later, the video clearly show Afroman turning around, and throwing a punch that knocked the woman to the ground.

Biloxi police say that woman made a citizen's arrest. She filed an affidavit against the entertainer. He was arrested and charged with misdemeanor simple assault.

Afroman paid $330 CASH to bond out of jail. According to Biloxi's police chief, the musician “gave us no problem whatsoever.”

Chase Taylor owns Kress Live. He told WLOX News, "Afroman was about five songs into his set when the incident occurred. We pulled the plug on him, and security met him at the bottom of the stage to escort him outside, where he was taken into custody."

Afroman is 40 years old. He went to USM. In 2002, his song "Because I Got High" was nominated for a Grammy.

"Kress Live does not condone this type of behavior. We like to keep a safe environment, and we addressed the situation the best way we could," said Taylor.

You shouldn't hit another person because it's an unnecessary and moronic way to conclude a situation 99% of the time.

Body weight doesn't factor in. Gender doesn't factor in. Age, height, sexual orientation, etc. don't factor in.

Like I said, I don't think I'd have hit her; there were plenty of nonviolent solutions to that scenario. I've never hit anybody (male or female), and I don't see why I'd start with something like this. I have a size advantage over most people and I'd rather use it as a deterrent than a weapon.

Either way, if his intent wasn't to seriously hurt her (I think he just wanted her away from him and off the stage without interrupting his performance, and he left her alone after the one hit) I don't think that is justifiable to arrest him.

1) I don't have a daughter. "YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT'S LIKE TO HAVE A SWEET LITTLE FLOWER THAT YOU HAVE TO PROTECT!!!" /CP
2) If/when I do have a daughter, she'll be taught to take responsibility for her actions and not to put herself in situations like this by acting like a fool. As long as she wasn't seriously hurt, my first reaction would be disappointment at her behavior.

Reread the bolded part of my first reply to you.

She had to be removed from the stage one way or another, and I think an arrest for a hit of that magnitude is too harsh (she got right back up and seemed to be fine).

Chivalry seems to be pretty popular on a message board full of conservative old men, but if we as a society want women to be actually equal to men, we can't be choosy about the areas they're "equal" in.

But your son doesn't have a vagina. It can't possibly upset you as much.

This doesn't make any sense!

"Mom, Afroman punched me at the concert."
"What?"
"Afroman punched me at the concert."
"Why?
"I don't know."
"What were you doing?"
"Trying to get on stage."
"Why?"
"Because you didn't give me enough attention."
"Shut up, seriously?"
"No, I just wanted to give him a joint."
"Did it hurt?"
"Not really."
"Dumbass."

Soooo, as long as someone is doing something you dont like then it's OK to sucker punch them?
You wouldn't have a problem with it if your mother or sister or daughter got a little buzzed and walked on stage ? They would deserve getting the **** knocked out of them ?

I would probably tell them, "That's why you don't get wasted and climb up on the stage."

As I mentioned before, I have no idea who this guy is, or how big his act is. You would hope that security would just walk the woman off the stage, but they didn't. Do clubs usually have security in this type of venue?

I was at a Springsteen concert once when a woman climbed up on stage. Apparently the same woman has done this numerous times, so the band recognized her. She went up to the bass player, danced a little, and tried to give him a kiss. He just kept playing, and security led her off by the arm. Clearly that's the ideal scenario, and they were understanding that this woman is clearly somewhat deranged.

But I could see a concern about a Monica Seles type of thing if I was the person up on stage. It's probably more of an issue for a really famous person than it is for the guy in this video.

Probably already brought up, but I'll be curious to see if Afroman sues the venue for their inability to keep him "safe" while onstage. I mean... why the **** weren't the bouncers for the place up on stage dragging her ass off?

[Easy 6]

He could've handled that situation without resorting to that, he's a pathetic c**ksucker.

Because she has a vagina.
