Go-Go Dancer Stops Man Going On Axe Rampage In A Gay Bar

PHOENIX - A go-go dancer at a Phoenix gay bar helped subdue an unruly bar patron on Feb. 17.  Thirty people were in the bar at the time and some of them helped hold the man down until police arrived. 40-year-old Lawrence Aguirre faces charges for allegedly going after patrons and staff at the Oz bar with an ax. “I really thought my life was in danger, I’m pretty sure everybody else did too,” said Adrian Carlos Maldonado, Oz bar manager.  Maldonado was managing the bar on Bethany Home Road and 18th Avenue last Saturday night, when the incident happened. He says Aguirre was at the gay bar with his girlfriend when they started arguing. “I told him was done, I couldn’t serve him any more for the night…he got irate,” said Maldonado. “After I escorted him out, he went out to the car, picked up an ax and came back at us.”  Maldonado was inside, holding the door closed while he says Aguirre hit it with the ax.  The police report noted slash marks in the door. When he thought he left, Maldonado opened the door and says Aguirre stormed in with the ax still in hand, saying ‘I will kill you.’ “He said, ‘Come on, bring it, I’m gonna hit you with this sucker.’ He was pretty crazy and adamant about it,” said Maldonado. A go-go dancer grabbed Aguirre from behind, around the neck, that’s when Maldonado hit him over the head with a pool cue; Aguirre dropped the ax. “Once that happened, I threw the pool stick to the side, I had somebody else grab the ax and we just held him on the ground,” said Maldonado.  Maldonado says four people helped him hold Aguirre down until police arrived.

There’s a lot of rock bottom moments in life, but getting cut off while hanging out in a gay bar with your girlfriend, going on an axe rampage, and getting beat up by a go-go dancer may be the rockiest of bottoms. I don’t even know what the worst part is. Honestly I think its the hanging out in the gay bar with your girlfriend. I’ve been cut off at the bar. I’ve never been on an axe rampage but we’ve all been irate with asshole bartenders. But under no circumstances can I ever imagine hanging out with my girlfriend in a gay bar. Not even because of the gays. I would probably crush it at a gay bar. I’d be the belle of the fucking ball. Dudes would definitely wanna fuck me. But sitting there talking with your girlfriend while the gays are dancing and singing and shit just seems miserable. Enough to drive any man to an axe rampage.
