At first, I thought "again?" Old news is old.

That's not funny... I just checked my Pyromania booklet, Rick Allen has both arms.

In related news a recently escaped killer is claiming a one armed man is the real killer. Might be worth checking out.

Re: Rick Allen Allegedly Assaulted At Florida Hotel
It's only from last year! It's not that old! But did anyone read the entire article? My God.... this happened at a Four Seasons? And the kid was only 19. He not only attacked Rick but he attacked another woman that tried to interject and then he ran off and destroyed some cars in the parking lot next door. And he's out on bail like the next day? WTF? I don't understand this world.
