Bar Bans Columbia Prof Suspected Of Punching Woman

Mcintyre.jpg The Columbia University professor suspected of punching a female colleague in the face in an argument over "white privilege" has been banned for life from the bar where the fight occurred. The Post reports that Lionel McIntyre, the 59-year-old associate architecture professor implicated in the racially-heated fight on Friday, will not be allowed to return to the Broadway bar Toast, where he was once a regular. The scuffle left Camille Davis, a production manager in Columbia's theater department, "with bruising and redness in the right eye," police reports indicated.

  • toast,it works everytime.

  • Bike Rider

    lol blax

  • Bernie Madoff-Goetz

    If he's teaching this semester they won't fire him mid-semester. Best we cane hope for is that he is quietly written out of the catalog for Spring 2010 and simply not offered a spot or a reason to return. If he were tenured, THEN the school would have to suspend/terminate him.

  • felixthecat2

    Toast showed up Columbia. LOL

  • ribaldry

    Umm he hit a woman.

  • ckl

    why does it matter that it's women? are you suggesting they are defenseless or somehow inferior to men?

  • wingedearth

    Haven't you heard of chivalry? Men are not supposed to hit women. It's not about inferiority, it's a matter of good manners and respect. And we are supposed to keep women safe and protect them from harm, because women are sacred.



    It's okay to hit a man, because men should always be willing to rise to the challenge, as an exercise in bravery and fighting prowess. That makes us stronger and thus more capable of protecting women. So hit a man if you're prepared to be hit back.

    Congratulations, you've somehow managed to convince me that the face-puncher here is less misogynistic than you are.



    Racist, maybe. Bizarrely violent, maybe. But clearly much more forward-thinking than you on gender relations.

  • valeriob

    This isn't an update until the school responds.

  • marcasm

    I guess Columbia is waiting to see what Toast does, and then follow their lead, maybe ?

  • seven

    Can you PLEASE stop calling him an architecture professor?



    He is a professor of urban planning in the dept. of urban planning, which is part of the school of architecture.



    I did my masters there, so you have that info on good authority. Also, having met this fellow a few times, this incident doesn't surprise me. He always seemed like an angry jerk.

  • NannyState

    Urban Planning? Maybe he can write a text on curbs and gutters.

  • jpeditor

    With his teeth.

  • JacqueMehoff

    is this really news? being banned from a bar?

    being 86'ed from the fruit store, not able to get some green plantains?

  • Bernie Madoff-Goetz

    Shut up, Jackoff. Anytime Gothamist reports on blacks behaving badly you act like a one-man PR firm trying to downplay everything. I didn't know that Al Sharpton kept internet troll shock troops in his cadre.

  • ckl

    Yeah, I'll buy you a beer there, Bernie, and we can talk about our ideas.



    If you get rowdy and sock me I promise I won't make waves.

  • Bernie Madoff-Goetz

    Sure. Just make sure your bleeding heart doesn't gush into my bloody mary.

  • ckl

    i'll only cry for you sweets

  • JacqueMehoff

    hey, my number one squirrel fan is back!

    I'll meet you for a drink at Toast.

    and what about all the posts you've posted on Gothamist?

    pot meet kettle.

  • Adrienne

    you've obviously never been to Toast.

  • JacqueMehoff

    no, I haven't. it's been over 20 years since I went back to that area. OK, I've visited it once last summer to see a grad student.

  • zodak

    i guess he'll have to punch white women in other bars now, the poor guy being discriminated against like this. he deserves reparations.

  • wingedearth

    The woman should be arrested for assaulting the prof's fist with her face. The prof was the victim of a hate crime, and we should hold a candlelight vigil in his honor.

  • kleinpeter

    I wanna punch you.

  • Abbott

    Oh no! Where will he go to get a drink in this town?

  • aspiringrapper

    Good. Trash belongs outside.

  • hotstepper

    the bar...not the university? so the bar has actually got higher standards than Columbia.

  • John_Matrix

    well, they do have very good hamburgers at the bar.

  • dr zippy

    what is it you would like Columbia to do?

  • jpeditor

    Fire him, and pay her legal and medical bills.

  • hotstepper

    have some fucking standards.

  • Mr Mel

    I'd say bring him up on whatever charges (violence, disrespect, besotted behavior) they need to. This is not a biker bar rowdy but a an Associate Professor in the Architecture school at a major University.

  • NannyState

    What bar doesn't?

  • hotstepper

    touche.
