Iowa man who just wanted a hug lands in jail

IOWA CITY, Iowa — Police arrested a man who they said punched another man who refused to hug him. Iowa City police responded to a report of someone being aggressive and punching cars Sunday night. The suspect, a 23-year-old man, told police he became upset after he tried to hug a man and was pushed away.

Police said the man punched and dented the hood of a car before punching the man he tried to hug.

Police said the man had a blood-alcohol content of .086. He was charged with simple assault and fourth-degree criminal mischief, a serious misdemeanor.

LOL....sounds like I'd better hug the next guy who asks. OMFG who does this?

see no one wants to hug anymore. that is why the world is such a lonely place.
Incidently, I have a group of students who will occasionally, probably once every 6 weeks or so, go and stand outside walmart with signs that say "free hugs" just to see who will come up and get one from them.

No, actually some of the best and brightest. But couple being very intelligent with being an art kid, and crazyness erupts.
