Tiny Rocker Wentz Sued Over Alleged Ass-Kicking

Pete Wentz is being sued by a guy who claims the makeup-wearing, emo rocker and his security beat him up at a Fall Out Boy show last year.
Read the docs
According to a lawsuit obtained by TMZ, Andy Kallas claims he was watching the boys perform at Schuba's Tavern in Chicago, when Wentz and his peeps beat him to a pulp for several minutes. Kallas claims he suffered "serious injuries to his head, mouth and face." The way the lawsuit reads, the attack was totally unprovoked.

But here's the deal. We're told Kallas was loud, obnoxious and heckling the band before the incident.

Kallas is suing both Wentz and the club for an unspecified amount in damages.

Wentz's rep tells TMZ, "This case is meritless. We looked into it and the facts don't support his claims. We will vigorously defend this case in court. "

5. TMZ says "But here's the deal. We're told Kallas was loud, obnoxious and heckling the band before the incident."

So what? That is not provication and does not allow them to assault him. If he threw something at them or hit them then that is provication. He's gonna win or settle big!

8. I don't think you can assault someone for heckling. I think they just admitted they are guilty.

You suck a**wipe. People who heckle and verbally assault others do not deserve justice.

And in fact there was a case a few years back where someone pushed a guy verbally abusing him in an airplane, the a*hole died. The guy who pushed him was not convicted.

People shouldn't be allowed to get away with needlessly abusing others verbally. And you people defending them should be dragged into the street and shot. You're what's wrong with this society. And TMZ can go along right with you.

12. Jeez "opnex", take a vallium. A bit on edge today? People shouldn't be allowed to "needlessly abuse someone verbally" but taking someone out in the street and shooting them is all good? Hmmmmmmmm...

Did you notice the "needlessly" part? Shooting these people is not needless, it's actually beneficial to society in the long run.
