Per today’s Rutland Herald:
If Mayor Thomas Lauzon had only trusted his gut Sunday, he wouldn’t have broken his ribs.
[…]
…Lauzon… gamely agreed to participate in a 21st-century re-enactment of the fabled fist fight over the naming of Barre during Sunday’s conclusion of the Barre Heritage Festival at Barre Town Middle and Elementary School.
Can we nominate the Vermont Mayor Lauzon “most likely to lose a hand trying to fix a lawnmower?”
At least there weren’t pies involved.
remember I’m not twenty anymore
He could have been involved in an actual bar fight, rather than the re-enactment of one. (See Giunta, Frank, Republican Mayor of Manchester NH and putative Congressional candidate: http://www.nhpr.org/node/25858)
Considering the unjustified and illegal gang beating he and his pals administered to “Santa” last year, I’d call this delayed justice. The fact that he tried a below-the-belt shot on his opponent merely confirms my impression of him.
