Murphy's Law: When you dress like a Nazi at a Philly punk show, anything that can go wrong, will.

New York hardcore band Murphy's Law played the Khyber on Friday. According to examiner.com — in an article that, right now, no longer seems to be on site — three men showed up dressed in Nazi uniforms and eventually got beat up in the street.

Glass smashed and a footrace ensued. The three victims barely made it 50 yards before the angry crowd set upon them. One Nazi was caught right in the middle of 2nd street as punches, kicks, bottles, boots and blows rained down upon his prone and turtled body. He could be heard crying for help all up and down the block. The other two were caught nearby and beaten severely as more weapons appeared. By now the bustling crowds of Olde City hipsters was aware of some kind of ruckus and nearby bouncers from other clubs stepped in to intervene. They pretty much saved the lives of the heavily outnumbered Nazis.

Yeah, the whole article was written that way. Somebody pasted it onto BCO, so you can read it there. Called the Khyber, nobody there right now was on duty Friday night. I've got an inquiry out to Murphy's Law, so I'll try to get you an update on this. My question is: Were you there, and if so, what actually happened?

It happened the way it was written... Actually, it was much more on the cinematic side if you were lucky enough to witness the onslaught. lol... What a great f*in night...

I knew of the bands before GTA4 LCHC, and I've not seen anything like this at shows I was at, but I heard of Exodus encouraging such things when posers showed up at their California gigs!

I was there. If you want to know what went down, from a neutral perspective just let me know.

Jimmy Gestapo Is NOT A NAZI! I wasn't even there. I met the man and he is a decent hard working person. THE MAN IS NOT A NAZI! Go to any Murphy's Law show and you can see for yourself!
