A PSA for Hipsters

Dear Hipsters,

When you're drunk, don't even think about making obscene comments to the anyone else, especially ladies you don't know, or else you'll get smacked down. When you're sober, at least you'd have the good sense to walk away. We heard about an incident at an East Village eatery where your drunken brethren tried to harrass and intimidate some upstanding men and women. After some scuffling and many clean punches, net net, Hipsters 0, FOG (Friend of Gothamist) 1.

hey, what happened to the blow by blow (er no pun intended Deep Throat) for the hipster face off? Or will it be pay per view, Dumbo Dweezil Vs Stanton Steve?

Given your spasm of postings today, presumably due to the inclement weather, I am saddened to see that we have yet to receive new details on the "scrapes with local oafes" (oaves? what is the plural of "oaf"?) story.

I'll add details about the beatdown later (I need to transcribe the tape recording from our Deep Throat). I'm not a fan of the hipsters, but I hate annoying assholes more.

Somehow, someday, I know my 15-year oath to forsake violence will be broken, and the streets of the LES will flow with the blood of some hipster infidel.

Is it wrong to crave such things?
