GYM CLASS HEROES-Frontmann auf Warped-Tour verhaftet

Nachdem ein Besucher in den ersten Reihen Sänger Travis McCoy von den GYM CLASS HEROES einen "fucking ignorant nigger" nannte, kam es zu Handgreiflichkeiten und zur Verhaftung McCoys wegen Körperverletzung...
Das Bandmanagement äußerte sich folgendermaßen zu dem unangenehmen Vorfall auf der laufenden Warped Tour:

"Somebody in the crowd was taunting Travis with racial slurs. Travis invited him onstage with the intent of calling him out in front of the crowd, with absolutely no intention of a physical altercation. When he tried to help him onstage, the guy hit Travis in the knee area (which has been in a brace because of a recent sprain), forcing Travis to defend himself.

At this point, a scuffle broke out. This whole incident is unfortunate. Travis McCoy and Gym Class Heroes are anything but violent. Their message is about racial unity and having a good time. It’s amazing that in 2008 there are still people out there that would say such ignorant things."
