Mesquite, TX --The lovely ladies of Assassination City Roller Derby

bout of the 2008 season on May 17!

"Live Fast, Die Pretty!"

Wednesday, April 9, 2008 - (Mesquite, TX)

It's time to lace up the corsets and roller skates.

The hard-knocking heroines of Assassination City
Roller Derby are following their sold-out success of a
season opener last month with the second bout of the
season on Saturday, April 19.

The skaters will follow last month's win over the
Victory Dolls of Oklahoma with a showdown against the
wily women of West Texas in a doubleheader dubbed "I
Was a Teenage Roller Girl!", with live music by

the Big Guns and the always fabulous DJ Sista Whitenoise.

A couple of years ago, we reported several stories on the violent arrest of Assassination City's Muff Thumper. The case finally made it through court and, after hearing from many witnesses, the judge ruled that Muff was not guilty of assaulting the officer. So why'd he slam her on the ground hard enough to leave a big 'ol blood stain? "Officer Gordon has had 27 complaints filed against him in his 14-year career, most of which were ruled "unfounded" or "inconclusive." Of the inconclusive complaints, at least two involved allegations of excessive force."

It’s a new year and a new season for the hard-knocking, hair-pulling heroines of Dallas' renegade league, Assassination City Roller Derby. And we’re looking for new assassins to round out our roller-girl roster!

Assassination City will roll out two recruiting events in January. Whether you grew up in a skating rink or haven’t set foot in one since 7th grade, we’ve got room for all skill levels. Check us out:

The winds of anticipation are blowing through Dallas this weekend, as Assassination City Roller Derby takes on the inventors of women's flat track roller derby, the Texas RollerGirls from Austin. Don't get caught in the crossfire!

Come on out to Dad's Broadway Skateland, 3022 Moon Drive in Mesquite this Sunday, Dec.9.

"Ask not what your derby can do for you, but what you can do for your derby."

In the second bout of the season on April 22nd, ACRD’s two veteran teams
went head to head, fighting for the win of the night’s first game. The
First Ladies of roller derby, the Deadly Kennedys, with the first win of
the season under their belt, returned to the track with a vengeance to
take on last season’s undefeated champions, Lone Star Assassins. Then,
in the night’s second game, the league’s newest team, the Bombshell

crowd-pleasing bout against La Revolucion.

Jet sent in this recap of the TX by TX bouts last weekend. Congrats to the Hustlers, yo. "The format was a bit different this time around. The two Dallas teams would play each other in a one-period 15-minute bout, and then the Hustlers would play the Hell Marys in the next bout. The winners of each would square off against each other for the inaugural TX-by-TX trophy. So technically, it was the TX by TX battle royale."

The Dallas Morning News reports that Michelle Metzinger (aka Muff Thumper) was indicted today on a felony charge of assaulting a Dallas police officer. The story is here. "Eight witnesses to the arrest have filed sworn affidavits saying that Ms. Metzinger was not intoxicated and that she did not resist the officer. The witnesses state that after Ms. Metzinger was forced to the ground, Officer Gordon put his knee on her back or neck while he was handcuffing her, which is not described in the officer’s reports."
