Rapper arrested at Heathrow
By Bo Wilson and Matheus Sanchez, Evening Standard
27 April 2006
A mini-riot erupted at Heathrow airport after rapper Snoop Dogg and a 30-strong entourage clashed with police in a departure lounge.
The men - mostly minders - apparently turned violent after being refused entry to a first-class lounge, smashing up a duty free shop, throwing bottles and attacking officers.
It took riot police over an hour to arrest the "20-stone men", who were then led out in handcuffs, with one shouting: "This is how it goes down in LA."
Witnesses believe the group, who were travelling from the US to South Africa, were refused entry to the British Airways lounge as only a few had first-class tickets. It is thought they became abusive towards staff and were turned away from their flight, running riot when police tried to guide them out of the airport.
Six men, including the 34-year-old American rapper, were arrested. A Heathrow worker, who took photos from his mobile phone, said: "There were all these huge, 20-stone men smashing up display cabinets and throwing people around. I saw Snoop Dogg on the ground, with four riot police trying to put him in handcuffs. His minders were throwing bottles at people.
"There were 15 riot vans and eight police cars outside, with dog sniffer units. They were throwing the policemen around like pillows. Then the police used pepper spray on them."
The row is thought to have been witnessed by Ronan Keating, who was in the Terminal 1 lounge.
Snoop Dogg, real name Calvin Broadus, is a former drug dealer and gang member. He comes from one of LA's most notorious areas and has been accused of several crimes during his life - including murder, although he was acquitted.
Six men were arrested for violent disorder and affray.

Just think...this guy is a hero to a bunch of people? :rolleyes:
-
Damn brits need to learn how to speak English!
WTF is a minder?
-
I think a couple of taser guns would have restored order faster than pepper spray and "Please Sir, don't do that".
-
I LoL'ed :lol
-
Snoop and his homeys were throwing those bobbies around like pillows :rofl
-
Must be the pimp juice!
-
Another thing is why do the Brits always have to refer to someone's weight as "(insert number) stone"...Come on just say that the guys were close to 280 - 300 pounds...Geez I didn't even know a "stone" was roughly 14 pounds.

"throwing the cops around" until they used pepper spray
I just see a gun debate happening anytime now!

Please, the brits can't handle guns, if they had drawn down on snoop and his homeys they would have taken the guns away, capped all the cops in the airport and then prolly go and take the queen.
She prolly needs it anyway. :D

How culturally insesative of the british.

"Damn brits need to learn how to speak English!"
Not sure if your joking but come on, thats a pretty ignorant statement.
I would guess a minder = bodyguard.
I think we should all be forced to speak ebonics, and should sell drugs, and kill and rape people for no reason. We should also try to impregnate as many biatches as possible, and leave the children fatherless. Then when the police come to arrest us, we should throw up our hands like a bunch of mindless apes, and scream about how we didn't do nothing, and get video cameras to film the oppression.
I also think that our national anthem should be sung in spanish, and all the words changed because they don't rhyme in spanish. I think by doing that it will definitely help immigrants assimilate to this culture.
We should also grant known terrorists the right to a fair trial, because they have such good and fair intentions towards us. And even though they are terrorists, and essentially have NO rights, we can make an exception.
While we are at it, lets arrest soldiers for making these poor terrorists run around in there underwear, because they were treated so unfairly. I mean come on, all they do is cut the heads off a live people, who are only there to make there country more livable.

People who live in poverty are apparently dumb enough to believe that the best way out is to emulate those who "made it" through extra-ordinary talent,* which, naturally, each poverty striken kid must also have, right?
Go to a major city and tell me the Library to Basketball court ratio for kids on any given Saturday.
*I know, I know, I know.

Bravo, I haven't seen a good rant like that for a while. I give it 7 out of 10. You gained points for your use of "there/their", but lost points for the use of capital letters at the beginning of sentences, the use of punctuation, and for using your ENTER key.

"Shoot them with what?"
A gun, loaded with a bullet.
Yes, some British police & security do carry guns you see...
-
They use bullets? Wimps.
-
They rather don't spend bullets. That's why mr "SnoopDog" isn't dead you see.......
-
I see...
-
so who won the brawl at the airport??:lol
winner-snoop Dog

Ahhh, I thought they were trying to say 20 stoned men

A "30-strong" entourage clashes with the bobbies and they arrest 6 of them for "violent disorder and affray"? Am I missing something? :lol

Good publicity stunt by a guy that was over the hill ten years ago

About the same thing happened in a bar I was working in when I was a student. The troublemakers were a bit rough to handle for the po-lice... one of the brawlers was Hulk Hogan.
I find Hulk Hogan scarier than that dog poop.

Well firstly......British airport police are always armed, generally with HK MP5s. However in this case the airport police called in some back up from the local station and the Met decided to send in riot equipped police. I can see it now....some copper on his radio saying "Er.....there's about 30 of em and they're gigantic! If we shoot em we'll just make em mad."
And I find it very, very amusing that the filth (slang for police) got 'thrown around like pillows'.
In the past I've made my views of British policemen very clear and dont feel the need to repeat myself.

NOTE: My views of other countries police forces are not the same......with the possible exception of the Dutch who I lump into the same 'bunch of amateurs' catagory as Britain's.

Having just come from the UK, and having seen the many many signs throughout Heathrow that state, in simple language, that abusive language to airport employees will not be tolerate, I'm a bit disappointed that none of snoop dogg's troupe got shot.
Hell, they capped some dude just 'cause he was wearing a bulky jacket.
I can't see the embassy working too hard on this one... I can imagine the phone call...
"we have a situation"
"what?"
"Snoop dogg got arrested at Heathrow"
"Who gives a crap? Let him rot. Save some trouble back home"
"True dat"
"lunch?"
"Yea"
-
well... if no rapper crappers got shot then it is a pretty boring story for me.
lazs
-
Look for Snoop`s next released films.......
"Bobbies Gone Wild" and "Pimp My Queen" :D
-
Talk about asymetrical, "bobbies" vs a west coast rapper's posse six wide and five deep.
I'd be interested in how they felt they compared to LAPD.
-
What a waste of flesh.
-
I'm disgusted at the total lack of respect here for our boys abroad!
Made in USA *****
Straight out of compton!
-
suave,,snoop was never in NWA..that was Ice Cube-Easy E-Dr Dre.
word to the motha land
-
He's still WC fool.

...rapper crappers...
That's really is exceptionally clever.

I'm just glad that our own Snoopy Doopy, or Humpty Dumpty, or Doggy Doodoo, or whatever the hell that stoopid 'name' is, is tearing through Europe reinforcing every stereotype of Americans as ignorant, self-absorbed, ill-mannered, hostile and crude.
Once a punk, always a punk.
Ain't they just too cool? I'm so proud.
-
Well, the winner of the match is the Bobbies, obviously.
Imagine what it could have looked like with loud-mouthed massive british football bullies fistfighting on JFK airfield. Me thinks they would have been shot....
But the Bobbies took the bruises, and got mr dogg alive and well behind bars.
WTG
:aok
-
Some of our own manly, testosterone laced, anti-gun, politically correct, city-slicker, British bulletin-board buddies could have trounced that crew in a trice.
Beet..where were you when your bobbies needed you?
:D

Why does SnoopDogg carry an umbrella?
FoDrizzle :rofl

See now when someone says

I picture 20 guys that look like this
