Please do that to me!

This sounds like a story former Utah County Commissioner David Gardner would have used. Or a former Mayor of Eagle Mountain.

Uh-huh. Sure. He just needed an excuse for coming home late drunk. ;-)

And.... you believe him?

I'm sorry (and I truly feel bad for this man), but force fed beer??? It's a very convenient story...

This incident should outrage all law-abiding Americans! It was not enough for these criminals to kidnapp and terrorize the victim, they felt compelled to use alcohol as a criminal implement. It is about time that the public recognized alcohol for the source of criminality that it is.

I can't help but chuckle a little at this one.

Oh my gosh -- this is funny.

what would two beers do to anyone? weither they drank before or not

It was Utah urine; 3.2 beer. Being forced to drink it would be torturous to me. I live in a state the recognizes free agency.

Who was argued against free agency before god, according to LDS beliefs. Never mind! Forget I asked.

Utah is so pro-business, Utah requires breweries to distribute special beer in Utah that few other states require. Would capitalism require you to let brewers sell the same standard beer in Utah that is distributed anywhere else in America?

It seems strange that the perps would leave evidence behind after going through the trouble of force feeding him beer. Besides, two beers, at 3.2 ABV, would give him, what, a .04? I'm not exactly convinced he's telling the truth here.

This article makes slightly more sense today--yesterday I glanced at the headline and thought someone had force-fed a bear!

What an odd little state we live in.

typical story of a fiend getting robbed trying to score some dope...dont be fooled folks

yer kiddin US right? 2 CANS OF BEER? this has to be some kind of JOKE! Oh and when all else fails blame it on the Mexicans.. this jokers got a good imagination!

Stay classy, Utah!

Maybe they knew he was LDS and they figured force feeding him beer is like pouring bacon grease on a Muslim.

On the serious tip, I run a crew of traffic counters and have had my employees told by "thugs" that they needed to leave a certain intersection.

Stupid criminals are always good for a laugh.

Of course he's kidding, havent you ever tied your own hands behind your back with hangerwire. Childsplay right?

Catch these slime balls and tie their hands and feet with coat hangers and let everyone in town stop by the police dept and force feed them really bad tasting beer plus tell them we don't want them selling drugs to our kids ever! Make them do a commercial promoting how stupid doing drugs are and how they are to stupid to know better!! Put them under house arrest and make them go to public schools telling kids what morons they are for doing and selling drugs! Don't glamorize these thugs in any way shape or form. Make a deal with the media to refer to these thugs as degenerates and losers when they talk about em on the news!

you have got to be kidding? this article has nothing to do whatsoever with the lds church and beer in utah. its about a kidnapping. so i have no idea why you feel the need to tell everyone about how much you disagree with the church and utah. that is truly unbelievable. you area a joke who just wants to let everyone know your not mormon, as if everyone was wondering.
