Authorities say a Chicago Bears fan who came to Jacksonville for the Bears-Jaguars football game had his throat slashed inside a bar. The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office says 42-year-old William C. "Chris" Pettry died early Sunday inside Fionn MacCool's, an Irish-themed restaurant at The Jacksonville Landing. Matthew Hinson, 27, is being held without bail on a murder charge. Jacksonville Jail records didn't list an attorney for Hinson. A news release issued by the sheriff's office Monday says witnesses told detectives that Hinson cut Pettry's throat, put the bloody knife in his pocket and calmly walked out of the restaurant.

Two things: People take this game waaaaaaay to serious, and Jacksonville is a terrible place to live.
In all fairness lets not jump to the conclusion that it had anything to do with his fanship. It says he was a Bears fan, but maybe he just looked at this guy the wrong way or something.
Matthew Hinson has rights under the law. The right for his attorney to get him off on some technicality.
I do not care if it was over the game or not. You slit someone's throat in a bar? That is nonsense. And pathetic. The ONLY legit excuse he has, was self defense and I don't see that happening here, since he's being held without bond. 27 years old, and he just pissed his life away over being stupid.
