  “Nobody tried to punch M last night. Morrissey's fans are not malicious. The fans were simply doing what they have been doing for almost 30 years. Trying anything they could do to jump onstage and touch him, or hug him. The fan in question was certainly more aggressive in reaching out for him than most, so security had to do their job and subdue the fan. That's all it was. In the end no one was hurt, and no one was arrested.” - Peter Katsis

  Update:
  
  Morrissey fan Carlos Rodriguez , the man who had seemingly punched Morrissey by accidentally striking his face, has clarified that it was unintentional side effect due his excitement from storming the stage, while conceding that it indeed looked bad.
  
  “Thank you for clearing this up. I admit it looks bad but the momentum to get up did look as if it was aggressive. I hugged him, Moz laughed and i was headlocked. End of story. I have nothing but love for El Jefe! “

[countthree]

It seems pretty clear that it was not an intentional punch but a failed hug. Accidents happen.

 

[MichSomething]

Ok. Wow. There appear to be 5 or 6 videos of the incident, and so many here must be looking on small phones. Let me state what the evidence shows. In at least two of the videos, it clearly shows Morrissey wasn't even punch - it was close, but no contact with his face. Two, in at least on the wider shot videos shot from the balcony, the fan clearly stumbles during his approach, hence the rough appearance of his failed hug. People need to pay closer attention, and take Jesse's word that Morrissey was not punched. #punchgate

 

[King Leer]

Pigsty back -- very appropriate.

Watched the "punch" video a bunch of times. If you look at better quality clip you can see the security guy getting a hold of the fan's left hand as the guy continues to run toward Moz. When he wrestles his balled hand free it springs forward as he reaches out to Moz and unintentionally bops him in the face, with no recoil of Morrissey's head. Just a shambling bozo fan who probably hasn't tried to move that quick since high school gym class. No foul.

"William it really was much ado about nothing…….
More muckraking from the former journalists at Pitchfork and NME today.
We realize it’s difficult to afford investigative journalists these days so I guess we’ll have to forgive them.
That’s probably why they have lowered themselves to get their music news from TMZ these days. Lol.
Spin even lowered themselves to do it too!!
Pitchfork had to re-post their earlier story with edits after more info came out.
2nd time in a week they claimed to have reached out to us for comment when they have indeed not reached out to us for any comments to their stories.
And thanks to Carlos Rodriguez, the M fan who jumped onstage, for setting the story straight in his post that it wasn’t a punch.
Apparently Pitchfork and NME can’t read either. - PK"

The goal for the lefties media was of course to celebrate that the "racist nazi" got a good beating hopefully by some fan with their views. This is the thing with lefties in general that they pretend as if they are the good guys but deep down they love violence and in fact have to use it to force home a belief shared by very few out there.
They really are the kind of people who when they fail to have a good argument think they can win it anyway by shouting the loudest and they do all the time.
The common thing lefties have is that they tend to come from very broken homes where alcohol and drug abuse is always part of family life somehow. You'd think being on the bottom of the social ladder would inspire them to become better people than their surrounding and upbringing but instead it only serves to create the monsters that they are but they can never see it themselves.
We have skinny who constantly celebrates the use of violence but does he ever use violence on others himself?
I think he knows that if he did he would have far too much to lose and since he has a bit of cash saved up he also knows that the more you have the more you pay to the victims and to the state.
Even the few that left broken homes and got an education and great jobs and so on are still forever tagged by the past and it always shows cause it seems they are truly unable to leave that mentality behind.
The rest of us will always see where they come from cause it is always so painfully obvious not least when they open their mouth.
There are people who would celebrate Moz being killed who spent a big part of their life following his every move. I think that kind of conflict always ends in mindless violence and crime.

So, to be clear here, no one was trying to punch a Nazi?

Hey, Skinnybob, how the f*** are you not banned? I've been banned for quite a while now, just for posting Morrissey videos on a Morrissey fansite. Granted they were all posted in the general forum. However, all you do is post crap and/or abuse other members/anons. So???

I feel sorry for the fan. he must feel so bad. all he wanted was a hug from my sweetums and was just a little too excited about it, cant say I blame him.

 

[NealCassidy]

Which is the highest res copy of the concert poster for SAN Diego? Cheers

 

[spineless]

From what I recall, fans hit Mick Jagger on stage during one particularly frenetic gig. I don't know whether this was a regular occurrence in their hey day. I don't condone it but I can understand why it happens. I think it may have been while he was singing Lady Jane. I got confused, I killed a horse, I can't help the way I feel!

What a storm in a tea cup. The guy clearly was just drunk and over-zealous. Once security had him Moz should have stayed on the stage. By walking off he has made the story grow legs...
