Former UNC Wide Receiver Facing Murder Charge For Pushing a Man into Traffic After Bar Altercation
Kenan Gay, a former UNC wide receiver, is currently in jail and will face a murder charge after pushing a man into traffic following an incident at a bar over the weekend. The chilling details from the Charlotte Observer:
Alan Cole, owner of Ed’s, said there was no fight but that he and a member of his security staff saw the men leave the restaurant. One of the men had his hand on the other’s collar, but Cole said he thought they may have been joking around because the victim appeared to be smiling.
Cole said he and his staff knew things were serious when the suspect, still holding the other man, began running toward the street.
“The man in control of the victim didn’t stop,” Cole wrote in an e-mail to the Observer. “He ran right up to the edge of the street and tossed the other man into the traffic lane, with no pause or delay.”
Kingston was struck moments later.

Texans come to terms with Arian Foster. Huge, huge deal for Texans fans. Now they can turn their attention to signing Chris Meyers and Mike Brisell.

That would suck to be the guy who’s just driving, minding his own business and ran over the guy. That’s something I’d imagine would be hard to get over.

It’s even better when they use a shamrock as an apostrophe and call themselves an “authentic Irish pub”.

I can think of two bars in Charlotte that fit this label, both call themselves authentic Irish pubs. We play Flogging Molly, we must not suck!
This guy chose to drink in a much douchier area of the city.

seems like a good kid.

Sounds kinda like what the Heels did to the Blue Devils in Cameron on Saturday.
But seriously, this is pretty awful. Have to wonder what provoked it.

I’ve been to that bar many many many times when I lived in Charlotte. Did trivia there Thursday nights. It’s an okay bar with a decent amount of talent.
March 5th, 2012 at 10:19 AM
cleet I’m assuming you can name these two bars right?
March 5th, 2012 at 10:22 AM
Is Ri-Ras one of them? Keep in mind I moved over 2 years ago and rarely went Uptown.
March 5th, 2012 at 10:24 AM
Yep Ri Ras and Connelly’s.
There’s also Kennedy’s, which has a massive shamrock in lights on the patio. Solid trivia there, though.

“authentic” irish bars are just a way of keeping the clientele that likes the low-hanging pants and straight brimmed hats out, right? seems that way anyway.

I love how on the main page this says “Sad Story” — I feel badly for the victim & his family, but you cant be pushing people into oncoming traffic. This could be the feel good story of 2012.

It’s hard to get any authentic experience in Charlotte bar establishments, because it is such a transient city and caters to that. I’d still take that bar scene over where I live now in a cocaine heartbeat.
Another note on this story, the bar is not on a terribly busy street. The dude had to absolutely premeditate this and time it right just to get the guy in front of a car. Disturbing.

Flannegan’s in Athens was the athlete’s bar.

McFaddens is a frat bar pretending to be an irish bar.

Polish Bars > Irish Bars and it’s not even close.

Someone to root for.

You should check that place out during Euro this summer. It’ll be a zoo, but in a good way.

My girlfriend’s birthday is St. Patrick’s Day, makes doing some low key day drinking fucking impossible.
Lesson? The Irish suck.

FUCK YEA, FADO AND SOCCER. One of the funnest sports days of my life.

BTW this guy was an affiliate at my fraternity the two years after I graduated and everyone I’ve talked to said this sounds incredibly unlike him.
