I agree with InsectEffect totally. Both of these guys were out of line. In the article Amy Skelton says she is more comfortable with off duty police officers and it is pretty obvious why she would be. This guy, Anver, is a narcissistic asshole who should never be in position of any authority. There is no doubt he inflamed the situation quite a bit instead of difusing it the way a true professional would have. By the same token, Paik was selling illegal merch and was probably not too cooperative and likely aggressive himself. I believe that Phish is entitled to every dollar they can earn and no one has a right to sell their shit, ever. They are gracious enough to look the other way with the song title shirts, etc., let's not forget that if they really wanted to they could likely make that go away, too. I think spreading the word that this guy, Anver, is bad news as a warning to stay away from him and if you are forced to deal with him ever, tread cautiously and request law enforcement supervision. He certainly does not deserve to be threatened and neither does his family. I feel that it is pretty unlikely that Phish will do business with him again after this. His results are not worth the risk. Also he has made himself a target on lot now, which reduces his effectiveness to nil. Obey the laws people, its really the best way to stay out of trouble. If you don't like the laws then back someone who can get them changed or run for office yourself.
