Notorious Concert Gang FSU Eyed In Massachusetts Beatdown

December 6, 2004

Tom Farmer and Dave Wedge of BostonHerald.com are reporting that a vicious beatdown in a Brockton, MA nightclub Friday night is being blamed on the notorious FSU gang which has produced DVDs showing patrons being pummeled in Boston-area clubs.

According to friends of Jarrod Kenney, 22, of Raynham, Kenney and another man were set upon at Roman's on Ames Street by nearly a dozen men wearing black FSU T-shirts (which reportedly stands for "Friends Stand United" or "Fuck Shit Up", depending on whom you ask) who left him with a broken eye socket and head injuries. Witnesses said they observed men videotaping the violence.

"These people just don't care," said one eyewitness who asked not to be identified. "He's lucky to be alive. This is what they do. They just go around beating people up."

The Heraldreported last month that Boston police are seeking criminal indictments against members of the gang who are depicted in "Boston Beatdown", a DVD showing club patrons being attacked and beaten at hardcore punk rock and metal shows. While Brockton police reportedly responded to the incident Friday night, they could not confirm yesterday it is being investigated. Management at the club could not be reached for comment.
