32-year-old Portland resident Caleb Grotberg was arrested around 2:30am yesterday morning, after police received a call alerting them to a domestic dispute in which Grotberg allegedly physically assaulted his girlfriend and attempted to choke her with one of his stanky-as-fuck dreadlocks. The woman was then brought to the hospital where she was treated for "numerous, non-life-threatening injuries." Grotberg, who may or may not be the same guy that insistently kept asking you for money to score some "horse" at last year's Bonnaroo, was taken into custody and will be arraigned on charges of kidnapping, assault, menacing, strangulation, and domestic violence later today.

1. we have to make sure there are dreadlocks in all the schools now!

[Enrique]

3. hilarious image

comment doesn't 100% make sense, but it made me laugh.

[FiveGoodMen]

7. It's the meme that bettyellen was riffing on that doesn't make sense

[bettyellen]

9. I started with "if we take away his dreadlocks, only...." and couldn't finish it. ;-/

2. Come to Portland Maine where we have many fewer people with skanky-as-fuck dreadlocks

Though we do have crazy people walking around randomly with guns.

5. I have to make a worktrip to Portland ME in a few weeks

Do people openly carry there?

Most people here are sane, but a few of the crazies from way up north have found their way down to the southern part of the date.

6. Now you have a response?

From one fucking case?

Get real.

8. Assault with a deadly weapon?

Domestic violence isn't funny, but somehow this image strikes me as. . . . strange?

[rucky]

11. A dreadly weapon.

sorry in advance

10. Did you believe that Portland was a violence-free paradise until this story came out?

Is it possible for a place to be considered friendly while still having a non-zero crime rate? I hope so, because there's no place with a non-zero crime rate, but plenty of places that seem friendly to me.

13. Now you have a response? What, that Portland isn't friendly after all?

Have you no sense of reality?
