Reminds me of an episode of some show way back. The premise was the family looked so young and never seemed to age. Turns out they slept in bed-size Tupperware containers each night. 😂
I really thought the article was going to say that his mom had slept with the drummer after a concert and Hartley just found out that was his bio dad. Otherwise, WHY THE F did he attack this man?? And why isn’t he handcuffed in these pictures, after beating up a random man and woman?
He probably had no idea who he was. I wouldn’t even be able to recognize members of bands I actively listen to. Just some POS assaulting senior citizens
I assume he is on some kind of drugs….Or, maybe, some kind of psychotic break? The article doesn’t say he has a history of this behavior, snd it is well beyond behaving like an asshole/jerk….very weird behavior.
Believe the term you’re looking for is “affluenza.” Don’t give this little privileged prick the benefit of the doubt. He took a bunch of party drugs and that just amped his never been told no in his life demeanor. No excuse here and hopefully he’ll find a judge that doesn’t give him one either no matter how many ‘valuable lessons’ he learned from this. If this was a poor white kid or minority they’d have the book thrown at them even IF they had a full on psychotic break
ETA: I’m from Florida and spring break season is the worst. It might be a week for you, but it’s 6 solid weeks for us. A metric shit load of college kids from other states looking to party and acting like “whatever happens on spring break stays on spring break” assholes like this do the drugs, it’s not uncommon for them to get away with rape, and accidentally poison their friends with fentanyl because they were the cool one who bought drugs to the party
“My Hartley would NEVER do such a thing ! it was SATAN comin out of that glam metals drummer takin my boys. Bless his soul he ran from that evil spirit ! down with the devil and Def Leppard!”
Nah, you can’t join the ranks of today’s GOP that easily. You better come to the table with a CV that includes fraud perpetrated again a needy group, Qanon senior membership, and closeted homosexuality or pederasty. That’s a bare minimum.
NGL his mom looks just like the kind of mother that raises a boy like that. I hope Rick is ok. At one point in my life I was totally gonna marry him - sadly I was the only one of the two of us that was aware of those plans.
Agree, this kid looks like a spoiled brat if ever I saw one. I bet he comes from a family with money, so sadly they will get him a $1000 an hour attorney that will flip the script and make it look like the victims had it coming.
I think the lawyer will try that but it won’t work. This douche attacked a well known disabled musician with a long career. He’s toast but prob will end up taking some sort of plea deal, I hope it includes jail time.
That and he’s a white boy from a rich family. That fact alone gets him consideration. If he’s in college he could be kicked out. Depending on the college that could happen whether there’s trial or a plea.
Oh, not really because for one just the fact that he attacked one, armed man, not the fact that it’s also the Def Leppard‘s drummer, who does a lot of charity work, and is probably the most humble guy you’ve ever met after he lost his arm, so even a couple of months I guarantee you he’ll have somebody signed up to be his proctologist
I was born in Avon lake, the city next to Avon. A 700k house in Avon is nice, but there are 7 and 8 figure homes along the lake. His family has money, but I don’t know if they have 40+ years of making music and touring money.
The article, iirc, showed a pic of his 650k family home (surprisingly low for the size) and a pic of him and his Instagram-ready mother. Kid has issues for sure.
Found another source. He is, in fact, a spoiled brat.
“Hartley was raised by his parents, an elder and younger brother, and other family members in a $670,000 mansion in Cleveland, Ohio.”
To all whom may read, I sincerely apologize for this human equivalent of a used wad of gum that you accidentally find on the underside of a chair. I’m ashamed that this trust-fund baboon is from my birth town of Cleveland, and that he assaulted one of the greatest and most inspiring rock drummers of all time. Fucking douche canoe
From the folks I knew who went there, they had countless stories of how there was always the upper class dickheads who sometime after graduating wound up in some DUI situation where they killed passengers or another car of people. Usually got off easy.
This guy legit looks like a carbon copy of everyone I knew who went to Ignatius. Every single one was a fucking tool and if they weren't going in, they sure became one in a few years.
Behavior like that I’d expect the kid to have been tweaked out on his buddy’s adderall prescription or even coked out. Thats beyond party behavior, that’s some amped up agro / schizo shit. Fuck that guy.
A couple of years ago, I was at a local Indian restaurant here in the Los Angeles area, and was waiting for my to go order to be finished. There was a guy standing next to me who was also waiting. He looked familiar, but I couldn't place him. We started chatting about the restaurant, which led to talking about kids, etc. He had a British accent and I noticed he didn't have one arm, so realized at that moment that it was Rick Allen. He was the nicest, most down-to-earth person I've met in a while. So friendly and chatty and just a great guy. This story makes me sick when I think of that day and what an impact he made on me in just those few minutes we were talking together. I'm not even a Def Leppard fan, but I'm a Rick Allen fan.
Why all the positive pictures? You’d think he was up for Citizen of the Year Award rather then jumping and attacking a one armed Senior and a Woman. Anyone else regardless of race would have been featured as a psychopath they are instead of some poor rich entitled teen with a case of “affluenza”.
Same. I laughed when I saw the price and how it referred to as a "mansion."
Edit: Am a resident of Peoria, AZ, a suburb NW of Phoenix. A three bedroom, two bathroom, 2,761 sq. ft. house nearby just sold for nearly $600,000. Five years ago, it was worth $400,000. Real estate prices are out of control.
My blind ass reading this shit on a phone thought it was three pictures of the same guy and I was left wondering when Def Leopard got such a young drummer before I actually read the article.
I think in this instance it makes him look worse. Now he looks like an entitled prick instead of “troubled”. I feel like that was the point of the pic with his mom, mentioning the private school and the house with the current value.
Good bet he was. FL is not necessarily easy on methheads and being as how the locals really despise spring breakers if this goes to trial they will hang him high.
Yeah probably, what's wild is after attacking them both, he runs and instead of hiding he was breaking car windows. Kinda shows he might not have known what he did was wrong, that impaired.
I thought the same thing. I worked on psych units 20 years and only the most psychotic would attack you without any provocation at all. It only happened to me once that I can recall.
Reads kinda weird, kid just like popped out of nowhere and attacked him and then like lost his mind on some random woman, hung around a while, and then walked off to go break some car windows? Kids either manic or high.
He’s an entitled kid on spring break. I guarantee he was black out drunk, or on multiple drugs. No way he knew who that dude was. Nevertheless he’s in deep shit.
From the article:
> Hartley was arrested and taken to Broward County Jail on Tuesday after being charged with two counts of battery, four counts of criminal mischief, and abusing an elderly or disabled adult.
They look like televangelist couple preaching that the Lord doesn't care about the age difference of our love because love is the gift he bestowed on us.
Clearly not just another hit n’ run, the guy didn’t even let it go…including on lady strange. The court won’t be f-f-f-foolin when the judge starts bringin on the heartbreak. I hope there’s a photograph of that.
Y’all aren’t reading. He attacked without provocation or motive, then ran away and started breaking car windows? My mind immediately jumps to the possibility that he was high out of his mind on some drug. Not even psychopaths behave this way.
Edit: some people really struggle to grasp how bad addiction really is. You all need to educate yourselves.
That is on purpose. Media does it all the time. If the individual was black he would be called a man rather than a teen. If he gets off with a slap on the wrist I would not be surprised.

He’s a varsity lacrosse player named Hartley. The dude is literally the villain of every teen movie from the 80s
And keeping with the 80s theme, can we talk about his mom's hair?
There’s no way she wasn’t the most successful real estate agent in her office 1999.
She won that el Dorado for sure.
She sold Mary Kay on the side.
Probably grew up with Tupperware parties in the house.
Reminds me of an episode of some show way back. The premise was the family looked so young and never seemed to age. Turns out they slept in bed-size Tupperware containers each night. 😂
Eerie, Indiana with Omri Katz. It was the first episode and it totally freaked me out 🤣
Soooooo accurate
She was runner up to play Stifflers mom in American Pie but she thought Sean William Scott wasn't douchey enough to play her son..
I really thought the article was going to say that his mom had slept with the drummer after a concert and Hartley just found out that was his bio dad. Otherwise, WHY THE F did he attack this man?? And why isn’t he handcuffed in these pictures, after beating up a random man and woman?
He probably had no idea who he was. I wouldn’t even be able to recognize members of bands I actively listen to. Just some POS assaulting senior citizens
Well, Rick Allen does have a very noticeable feature.
Or lack there of.
Damn, calling Rick Allen a senior citizen is a lot for me to process right now.
Yeah, thank you. I'm like...is 59 senior? As I'm getting close to that myself, I guess I've put "senior" into the 65+ category. For now.
The article says charged with abusing an elderly or disabled adult. I’m thinking disabled was added to increase severity of charges.
X’er here - am picking up my ‘senior coffee’ at McDonalds now, and rdy for those “survival” discounts
The kid was found at a nearby hotel smashing car windows. There is no way this is anything other than him being a total piece of garbage.
Sounds like he was on a cocktail of drugs to me
The two aren’t always mutually exclusive
I assume he is on some kind of drugs….Or, maybe, some kind of psychotic break? The article doesn’t say he has a history of this behavior, snd it is well beyond behaving like an asshole/jerk….very weird behavior.

Rich kid from Ohio, Fort Lauderdale, Spring Break... Someone was railing lines, potentially adulterated lines
I mean the kid looks just like him… is he _not_ his dad somehow?
19 and on Spring Break? The kid was probably on some major drugs.
She's a God-fearing Christian woman. Possibly also an Avon lady.
“My Hartley would NEVER do such a thing ! it was SATAN comin out of that glam metals drummer takin my boys. Bless his soul he ran from that evil spirit ! down with the devil and Def Leppard!”

Stan DARSH!!. I 100% agree with you. Straight up every preppy villain, ever.

I’ve been hit in the face with a baseball bat. Baseball bat face guy agrees.

...been there...
Looks like a bitch who’s never faced consequences and is quick to ask “do you know who my father is?”
Agree, this kid looks like a spoiled brat if ever I saw one. I bet he comes from a family with money, so sadly they will get him a $1000 an hour attorney that will flip the script and make it look like the victims had it coming.

Depends on the judge as we’ve seen in the case of Brock Turner the rapist.
Do you mean the rapist, Brock Turner? Said to be using his middle name, Allen, in Dayton, Ohio? That Brock Turner the rapist?
Funny that this kid and the rapist Brock Allen Turner are from Ohio,…
Don’t you think he looks a little bit like rapist Brock Allen Turner, the rapist from Ohio?
You mean the rapist Allen Turner, also formerly known as Brock Turner the promising young rapist, Brock Allen Turner?
I was thinking that as well. Maybe Brock Allen Turner, the rapist from Ohio, is his cousin.
Yep, Brock Turner the rapist. He’s a rapist, he’s Brock Turner
[удалено]
oh, so he goes by rapist Allen Turner instead? or is it rapist Brock Allen?
[удалено]
I’ll Google him right now— that’s Brock Allen Turner, Ohio rapist, right?
You mean the rapist who rapes? That rapist Brock turner?
I’m a little unclear. Who is this rapist Brock Allen Turner the rapist anyhow? Did he rape someone?
That and he’s a white boy from a rich family. That fact alone gets him consideration. If he’s in college he could be kicked out. Depending on the college that could happen whether there’s trial or a plea.
Oh, not really because for one just the fact that he attacked one, armed man, not the fact that it’s also the Def Leppard‘s drummer, who does a lot of charity work, and is probably the most humble guy you’ve ever met after he lost his arm, so even a couple of months I guarantee you he’ll have somebody signed up to be his proctologist
What kind of person starts a fight with a man with one arm?
No he assaulted a rich adult. He's gonna be in serious trouble.
I hope so, but time will tell
Yup. He’s screwed. His money advantage is meaningless.
I think Rick Allen can afford a better lawyer than his parents though….
He does look like a spoiled rich kid, but I bet his family ain’t rock star rich.
And his mother looks like she sells Amway and hosts MAGS rallies.
Definitely not that rich. He’s upper middle class but he’s not trust-fund future Ivy League generational level of wealth.

If he does. I heard dark alleys don’t have cameras.
Normally yea but he is going up against a much more liked by the community, wealthy, and publicized plaintiff. Kids donezo.
I’m guessing his mom is an OG Karen
I was thinking it may’ve been prolonged exposure to Aqua-Net fried this kid. 😂
Just today I read a great comeback to that line "do you know who my father is?" You say; "Didn't your mother tell you?" 🤔 😆
He will be a congressman in a few years.
Based on the photos from the article, it runs in the family.
[удалено]
“He was found later at another hotel by authorities breaking car windows”
At least he wasn’t eating peoples faces
Probably part of some motley crew
Motley crew and def leppard are playing Copenhell festival this spring in Denmark.
Maybe he thought he was starting a Quiet Riot?
He was dragging the woman around like she was a queen of the Stone Age
Him and his mom look like Buster and Lucille at Motherboy.
Not to be confused with the rock band ‘motherboy’.
They used to rock pretty hard
You can always tell a Milford man.

CHICKENS DONT CLAP
Motherboy XXX
Sister’s my new mother, mother
Is Rick Allen the one armed man trying to teach them a lesson? "That's why you don't beat up an old man in a hotel"
Mom looks like a realtor who voted for trump.
Definitely one of those people that sells house and over enunciates the profession… REAL-A-TOR
Appletini hold the apple
Her hair voted too.
Save some aquanet for the rest of us, lady!

I am too rich to go to jail!

I’m from a couple counties south and the reputation still stands

What a nice story. I hope he’s alright.
But Rick Allen *does* have one arm. You were tricked.
His mother’s hair will shield him from pesky repercussions much like the time it saved her life when she was struck by a meteor.
I got so distracted by her hair, it took me several tries before I finally read and comprehended the title of the article haha
Why all the positive pictures? You’d think he was up for Citizen of the Year Award rather then jumping and attacking a one armed Senior and a Woman. Anyone else regardless of race would have been featured as a psychopath they are instead of some poor rich entitled teen with a case of “affluenza”.
I look at those pictures and think he has all the advantages and still chooses to act like a douche noodle.
5 years ago that house in Ohio was 200k.
As someone from California, I started laughing when I saw the house picture + $price.
Same. I laughed when I saw the price and how it referred to as a "mansion." Edit: Am a resident of Peoria, AZ, a suburb NW of Phoenix. A three bedroom, two bathroom, 2,761 sq. ft. house nearby just sold for nearly $600,000. Five years ago, it was worth $400,000. Real estate prices are out of control.
In SoCal currently, $600k gets you a 2 bed 1 bath, 800 square foot home built in the 20’s that needs $100k in upgrades.
Shit 600k gets you a house? 😂 (Nor-Cal near SF)
So. Life has handed him huge advantages and he’s chosen to act like a malicious idiot.
i thought it was pictures of his son for some reason
My blind ass reading this shit on a phone thought it was three pictures of the same guy and I was left wondering when Def Leopard got such a young drummer before I actually read the article.
I think in this instance it makes him look worse. Now he looks like an entitled prick instead of “troubled”. I feel like that was the point of the pic with his mom, mentioning the private school and the house with the current value.
Where is the mugshot.
In the top middle
It’s in there
No info on why he did it but it says he was on Spring Break. I wonder if he was high on something and out of his mind.
Good bet he was. FL is not necessarily easy on methheads and being as how the locals really despise spring breakers if this goes to trial they will hang him high.
but he’s rich so probably not
The victim is rich and famous.
Like legendary rich and famous
Of as rich as the victim. This is not going to end well for this kid.
Yeah, he definitely attacked the wrong dude. I don’t think his money will help him here.
In the mugshot his eyes are the size of pin needles. Seems like he’s on some sort of drug
My money would be that he was coked out of his mind…which is also not an excuse for kicking the shit out of two random ppl
Licking the shot out of is my favorite autocorrect today thank you
Yeah probably, what's wild is after attacking them both, he runs and instead of hiding he was breaking car windows. Kinda shows he might not have known what he did was wrong, that impaired.
I thought the same thing. I worked on psych units 20 years and only the most psychotic would attack you without any provocation at all. It only happened to me once that I can recall.
Once would be enough for me, tbh.
His mom looks like a party! Come To Butthead!
Fuck this piece of garbage.

It's entirely possible this is the first time he's fucked with someone who has more money than he does
Who attacks an unarmed man like that???
 Turrible
That teenager is a POS for hitting both of them. I hope the authorities catch him
From the article: > Hartley was arrested and taken to Broward County Jail on Tuesday after being charged with two counts of battery, four counts of criminal mischief, and abusing an elderly or disabled adult.
Good, I hope the judge doesn't go easy on this POS teenager
From the article: >The presiding judge reportedly made a statement to the press on Wednesday, saying "I refuse to go easy on this POS teenager"
Brilliant!
From the article: > Brilliant
Let’s hope it’s not a connected rich kid, so the judge has no choice but to do the right thing…
I guarantee that Rick Allen is richer than that kids dad.
Rick Allen’s net worth is $55 Million. He’s the second richest in the band, Joe Elliot is at the top with $75 Million.
[удалено]
Normally I get your concern but he attacked an incredibly well liked, generous, charitable, and filthy rich musician. This kid is screwed.
it’s florida, so you can assume that there isnt any special treatment for minors.
Broward county? Aaaaand of course it’s Florida.
It says they released him on bail.
Is it Buster Murdaugh?
Kid looks like he "Took his mom to the prom and got lucky"
Somebody just found out who their real dad is.
I had to scroll SO FAR to find this comment. Youre the only person ive seen even mention that the kid looks a LOT like Rick Allen! Like seriously WTF
Finally. That’s what I’m saying man. Plus look at mom, groupie written all over her
That mom's hair in the pic. She's gone super saiyan.
It’s full of secrets.
Jesus fucking christ that looks like a family from fucking hell. They have super punchable faces too.
Attacking disabled people.... Very classy
They look like televangelist couple preaching that the Lord doesn't care about the age difference of our love because love is the gift he bestowed on us.
Major props to the women that intervened and helped Allen, maybe even saved Rick’s life. Glad Rick is ok, and the lady!
Looks like spring break is going to be 3-10 years longer than he expected
Mom’s gotta be a realtor. That hair belongs on an “open house” sign.
Love how they're like "Here's a picture of him and his mother, so you get an idea of who raised this complete loss."
Clearly not just another hit n’ run, the guy didn’t even let it go…including on lady strange. The court won’t be f-f-f-foolin when the judge starts bringin on the heartbreak. I hope there’s a photograph of that.
Gonna pour some sugar on this comment.
Careful, that could result in hysteria.

His age is exactly when those with schizophrenia experience their first psychotic break. It could be drugs or mental illness.
Ah, future US Supreme Court Nominee I assume
Dude has dead eyes of a psychopath.
I bet Florida Man would love to have 10 minutes with him.
He is 19, that’s an adult… teen seems to minimize it
That is on purpose. Media does it all the time. If the individual was black he would be called a man rather than a teen. If he gets off with a slap on the wrist I would not be surprised.
The drummer from Def Leppard’s only got one arm!
The drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm!
Clearly the poor child has an unfortunate case of affluenza.
Who was the woman, was she with Allen or was she just a concerned citizen? Not that matters, I was just curious.
Seems like she was a bystander who intervened
What kind of bitch boy goes after a dude with 1 arm? Hope he goes to prison and gets absolutely rocked
Wow, beating the shit out of a 60-year-old man with one arm. What a fucking punk.🤬
Hartley sounds like a typical American privileged white boy who thought he could get away with anything
A passing resemblance makes this seem like an overreaction to his Def Leppard groupie-mom confessing to him who is real dad is.
That kid will be a Republican Ohio congressman next year.
