  • Not one of the offending techies, but you get the idea.

You probably aren't expecting a show of muscle from the guys you tap on the shoulder to fix your computer. The stat card of your average guy with tech know-how is such that a callow shitheal probably wouldn't think twice about taking advantage of their nerdiness — just blow them off completely, tell them to go pound motherboard.

That seems to be the case with a recent incident in Mentor. After being blown off by a guy they'd done computer work for, the two techies came back with baseball bats. Nerds can only take so much disrespect. But in the end, they completely fumbled the strong-arm job.

Mentor Patch has the details. The two offended computer nerds were 27-year-old Victor Liggett-Paris and 26-year-old Levi Cruz. After not receiving payment from an unidentified Mentor guy, the pair showed up at his apartment to collect.

Liggett-Paris lured the victim — a 40-year-old man — out of his apartment, [Mentor Police's] Allen said. Then Cruz and Liggett-Paris hit the man with bats and punched him,he told police.
