24-year old Nima Daivari went to Colorado looking for some fun. He found trouble instead. Daivari had been taking a stroll around Denver's 16th Street Mall when an unidentified man allegedly said something disparaging. Defending his honor, Daivari asked the man to clarify, sparking a fight. Police officers soon arrived and separated the sparring men. As Daivari tried to explain the situation, rookie cop Richard Boehnlein told him to go home, neglecting to gather names or even a rudimentary report on the incident.
Determined to get justice Daivari went to the police station to file a complaint, which he did. Now, the police have launched an internal investigation to determine whether Boehnlein acted appropriately. New York-based Daivari, of course, insists he did not:
(Boehnlein) didn't even get the guy's name. For all we know, that person could be walking down the street, punching every gay guy he sees in the face.Well, then, it should be pretty easy to find him.

If we decide to duke it out with a phobe, make sure we outnumber them; or are carrying brass knuckles; or if in a state that permits it, a handgun. Otherwise, ignore them, or tell them off and then walk to the neariest gay-friendly place.
Paul, why? Although he obviously took a punch, this guy seems he was able to defend himself. It's great to hear about a gay standing up to an insult and fighting his own.
PS, is he a NY go-go dancer, or does he just look like someone in particular?
Yes, I'm a go go dancer but I'm also a law student and work at a firm in the city. Thanks for standing up for me Mike. Say hi next time you see me.
I don't think Paul disagreed with the situation. It looks like he was just pointing out some common sense rules.
What a pretty guy ... and those eyebrows are fierce
Uhh..I'm a friend of Nima's and I couldn't be more proud of him standing his ground and defending himself. He's a great, brilliant, funny bitch and NOBODY is allowed to put that down. NOBODY.
I know Nima from law school. I am glad to see this event making news, as Nima is the WRONG guy to mess with. We have a fairly closed-minded constitutional law professor and Nima is always the voice of tolerance and reason in that class.
Go get em buddy!
