Oklahoma fans are celebrating the sexual assault and partial castration of a Texas fan who did nothing more than show up in Oklahoma City wearing a Texas Longhorns T-shirt.
53-year-old Oklahoma fan Allen Michael Beckett, a short Oklahoma fan with years of military training and a severe case of short-man complex, taunted 32-year-old Texas fan Brian Christopher Thomas after Christopher had walked into Henry Hudson's Pub on June 17 wearing a Longhorns T-shirt.
Thomas told police that when he decided to leave and went to the bar to pay his tab, Beckett grabbed him by the balls, pulled him to the ground violently by his testicles, ripping his scrotum like tissue paper, and wouldn't let go, even as bar patrons tried to break up the vicious sexual attack. When the two men were separated, Thomas looked down to find horrific bloody injuries.
"He could see both of his testicles hanging on the outside of his body," said Thomas' attorney, Carl Hughes. "He was wearing a pair of white shorts, which made it that much worse." It was a bloody mess.
It took more than 60 stitches to close the ghastly wound, and police interviewed Thomas at a nearby hospital emergency room.
The attacker, Allen Michael Beckett, a 53-year-old church deacon, federal auditor and former Army combat veteran, has pleaded not guilty to aggravated assault charges that could put him in prison for a mere five years.
Critics say the charge of aggravated assault does not fit the crime and is ridiculously lenient, particularly considering the vicious sexual nature of the attack and the horrific consequences for the victim. Unfortunately, laws in Oklohoma, much like laws in most states as well as federal laws, do not recognize crimes of sexual violence against males as being of any special significance and treat them as being no more harmful than a punch in the nose.
Texas fans are encouraged to contact the District Attorney of Oklahoma City as well as the Governor of Oklahoma and protest as loudly as possible. Alternatively, anyone wanting to drive to Oklahoma City and find Allen Michael Beckett to show him up close and personal how they feel about his violent sex-crime are encouraged to round up as many friends as possible and do so. Perhaps the Aggies' old bonfire tradition might be revived for this special occasion and topped off with a sex-offender? Just a thought.
* By the way, I never had anything against the Oklahoma Sooners until now. But after reading about this, I hope they lose every game.
