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!
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
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.
... 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?
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.
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.
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.
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!!!
@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?
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.
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 ?
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 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
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.

Frr
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
He didn't punch 'em hard enough!
IKR
so punk rock.. Ben Weasel rules!!!!!
only if she threw ice at gg allins she wouldve got a big reaction
he clearly didn't hit either of them hard enough.
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!
Only if he hit these news anchors
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! :)
Shit happens, man.
Ben is a god. she started it.
i love the cobra skulls shirt!
Based sigma chad over 9000.
I couldn't have said it better myself man!!
This dork saying “ Screeching Weasel” 😂
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
They are no longer fans… they are superfans! Equal rights…& lefts 👊🏻

Men punch women behind closed doors. Ben Weasel Punches Women in public. typical Ben
Punk rock
"looks like a bartender" ?... ooh shit yea she was wearing a bright yellow badge that say's bartender haha wtf?
... 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?
equal rights = equal fights, what s the problem gay USAY?
Dude, you shouldn't be wearing a Bad Religion shirt...
It looks like a bartender there lol
If chicks want to act hardcore, then they deserve to be treated hardcore...
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!
way to go cousin!. Fuck feminism. Hit me I hit you - gotta love it!!!
Women who want equality should get it. This is a perfect case of that, being that she threw ice at him.
FOX news doesn´t know anything about punk rock !!!
Fuck yeah BEN WEASEL
Damn Ben, If you had just hit Rebecca Black you would have been hailed as a national hero.
The best part in this video is the Cobra Skulls t-shirt.
He's punching what looks like a bartender there
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.
Whiny Weasel's constant complaining hurts much more than his punches.
I've known some tough girls. They probably got some punches in. Also its a punk show. Expect to get hit.
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
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.
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.
RIGHT IN THE OVARIES
I think they should invite the girl to a justin bieber concert...
good deepak and peter, we dont need you guys to be screeching weasel fans.
i did he sadly didnt take me up on the offer thanks for the advice though mate

....no knup left ta werry 'bout.
Man, wish someone got a better angle on that first punch.
Seems to me them women were askin’ for it.
What a crock...The Dallas show was awesome, and the band was great to deal with!
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!
LOL
@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.
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.
good for him
......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?
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 ?
exaclty thats what i always say!!!
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
haha.. when is ben weasel not complaining....
Fox People should get a hit too, for milking this ridiculously...
lmao
Who the hell would throw stuff at him he's a punk rock God
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
Make America Great Again.
too much cocaine
he punched a female concert goer and the female bar owner. horrible.
SO PUNK!!!!
@benweasel27 There. Now I'm having panic attacks. Who? ME. ME. MEEEEE.
@swinginbatchler Nah it's cool.
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.
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.
Ben Weasel is a god. If you pick a fight male or female, be prepared for one.
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.
Ben Weasel...MAKING POP-PUNK A THREAT AGAIN!
Hell yeah he puched two women! Don’t spit on ben weasel!
When weasels attack.
Sad
