For those of you who have been following the story of the expat teacher being held in the death of a Korean man after a bar room brawl, here’s a pretty comprehensive account from The Korea Observer.   I’m not sure how reliable a source they are (I’ve never heard of them at least), but the facts as reported do square with the stories I’ve been hearing around town.

Folks are donating to a legal defense fund with some regularity through the Facebook page set up for that purpose.  I’m hoping to get to visit Jeremy at the Nambu prison soon.  I also plan to help organize a benefit darts tournament early next year as well.  And that’s all I can think to do for him at this point.

Last night during a darts match two guys (an American and a Canadian) went after each other.  It didn’t get physical , but it certainly easily could have.  It actually pissed me off because I had just been talking to one of the guys about Jeremy’s situation earlier in the evening.  I just don’t understand why anyone would even think about getting in a bar fight knowing what the consequence could be.  Stupidity reins.
