Celebrity Justice
Warrant Out for Gym Class Hero

Gym Class Hero frontman Travis McCoy was arrested at Tuesday's Warped Tour show in Missouri -- and now cops want to talk to him again.

Cops popped McCoy for third-degree assault after he allegedly roughed up a fan who called him "f**king ignorant n****r." He was released Wednesday morning on $500 bail, but now, after investigating, cops want to talk to him again.

The band released a statement Wednesday calling the incident "unfortunate" adding McCoy and the band are "anything but violent."

18. 11. and also, for the ignorant person who "judges books by their covers", you have got to be kidding me. just because he has tattoos and piercings doesnt make him a blood-thirsty psycho.

19. 14. Those of you who judge books by their covers are the type that inspire the rest of us to get violent. Do you think rude, insensitive remarks such as calling people "f**king ignorant n**gers" is supposed to warrant a hug? Not to say it's the right thing to do but if it were me, I probably would have done the same. Really, what do people think when they make those kind of inflammatory statements? No one is going to shake your hand and thank you for calling them a f**king ingnorant n**ger. If you have to judge a book by its cover maybe you should try to read more than just online gossip.

Again, another person who sees only what they want to see in a post. Where in my comments does it say I feel rude, insensitive remarks are o.k.?
Read it again people ...... it says he looks violent to me. Nothing about his race, nothing about rude, insensitive remarks ...... ONLY that he looks violent to ME. No statements of fact for the world to follow, but a personal opinion. Geeeeeez, lighten up!!!

24. I am on team Travis........The person who called him that name deseves what he got and the should have arrested the "fan". Again is shows our justice system is backwards. Travis was just defending himself the guy swung at him first then called Travis the name. It is a ugly word and should never used.

25. He only bonked the guy on the head with a mic. The jacka$$ totally deserved it. Don't go to a show and then insult the artist. What's the point unless you're demonstrating your stupidity? Travi is super awesome and REALLY laid back. He's also a BIG dude (6'5" 220 or so), so the heckler was stupid to mess with him in the first place.

29. Travis is my man!
i saw him at the warped tour 2 weeks ago and he's one chill guy.
Personally, i'm glad he punched out that racist pig.

30. What's the warrant for? Come on Harvey, you're an attorney, you went to law school and you know it's not a crime to be wanted for questioning, this guy has civil rights, he can't be arrested for questioning!!! Give him a break already. Numbskulls........
