Well there are a bunch of bars up the street from my house and it's one of Philly's hot spots cause you can go from bar to bar.

Some guy that was on my high school bball team was out with a few friends on Friday night and was at this one bar called Casper's.

He is about 28 year's old, 6'5 like me, and I never seen him throw a punch in his life. Could be a wise ass at times when we were young but all in fun.

This is what happened. (I was not there)

About 2am and the bar was ready to close. He was there with two of his friends who were brothers.

One brother was getting into it with some dude outside so Jim went out and got in the middle of them.

He was facing his friend trying to tell him it isn't worth it and trying to back him away.

The other guy threw a sucker punch to the back of Jim's head and he dropped to the ground.

He smacked his head so hard on the ground that there was an immediate pool of blood from bleeding out of his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth. My guess is a brain hemorrhage.

I got the word on Saturday that he was in intensive care.

Then at about 5pm I heard that he passed away.

The guy turned himself in when he heard that Jim's father is a high profile detective for the Philly Police.

It's just a shame how crap like this happens.

I always tell my friends that when something is about to happen get out cause the worst could happen.

I also think that all bars need some sort of surveillance cameras outside and inside. Not that this will keep problems from happening but it might limit stuff like this.
