The New Hampshire Republican party has been touting Manchester Mayor Frank Guita as a top recruit against Carol Shea-Porter (D-NH). Saying he will fight for "NH values". But even I had no idea he would really fight.
Mayor Frank Guinta finds himself in after he went to a bar and found himself watching the aftermath of a heated fight that left one of his friends with a badly broken leg. O yeah and did I mention that he didn't report the incident to the police. His best friends leg was BROKEN in this brawl and somehow the police weren't called?
"Police are investigating a recent bar fight at a city club involving an alderman, a state representative and Mayor Frank Guinta, and which left a man with a leg that relatives say was broken in seven places," the weekly Manchester Express reports on its front page.
"Caught in the middle of it all was Guinta, who everyone (my italization) agrees was not involved in the fight but is now being criticized by [the injured man's] family for not immediately reporting it to police."
The article reports that Guinta left the scene while the injured man, Thomas English, was getting treatment from an EMT. Guinta told the paper that he didn’t see the fight and didn’t realize the extent of English’s injuries — and only found out later that English required reconstructive surgery to recover. After he later heard how serious the injury was, Guinta said he immediately called police and gave them a witness statement.
The police are currently investigating whether to press charges in the case.
I have been to this private club before it's not too big. In fact I will go and get a cell phone picture of it. There is no way a fight could breakout and you could not notice it.
Secondly a fight were a mans leg gets broken is a pretty intense fight. I have seen many fights at clubs and I have never seen a man leg get broken. That requires a lot of force, more than just a "punch match".
Here is a picture of the club (it's down the road from me) as you can see it's just not big enough not to see a fight where a guy get's his leg broken.
UPDATE: Here is a picture of the place.
Go to google maps and see a bigger picture of the place.

I also changed the title to indicate that his involvement is in question.
