Like the wrath of the Looch. It seems Mr. Luciano may have been overserved on Friday night at the Owl’s Nest and got himself into a little trouble.

I, for one, don’t really think it’s a big deal. Phil has taken his share of ribbing on this site in the past, but let’s face it- we all get a little drunk every now and again, and most of us have done something stupid that we would probably never do sober. It’s a shame Phil got the cuffs for this one, and being a local columnist who can be a bit abrasive certainly doesn’t help.

The fact of the matter is, we haven’t heard Phil’s version of the story. As we all know from watching years of Cops, all suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Unfortunately, the court of public opinion is notoriously premature on passing judgement. Especially when the court of public opinion is being held for a person who has rubbed more than a few people the wrong way.

So, good luck Phil. I enjoy your column and hope you can keep doing it for a long time.
