The normally genteel Ravinia Festival was disrupted Saturday when a brawl broke out over lawn space for a sold-out Donna Summer concert, the Tribune reports.

After setting up their blankets, chairs and a tarp, a group of concertgoers left for a restaurant. Witnesses told police that later, a second group tried to wedge into the same spot, and when they couldn't fit, moved the original group's belongings.

When the first group returned to find their spot taken, a confrontation ensued that included one woman trying to attack another, police said. A man from the second group--Anthony Delgado, 40, of Chicago--allegedly punched a 49-year-old Arlington Heights man from the first group, police said.

The 49-year-old needed 15 stitches on his lip, police said. Delgado was charged with battery.

The people who moved the belongings of the other people were clearly in the WRONG here. Why is it that late people always seem to think they are entitled?

FIGHTING OVER PICNIC GROUNDS?

After having the wonderful experience of being with 30,000 Obama/Biden

supporters in Springfield, Il on a very hot and humid day and witnessing

only kindness, respect and joy, I have to wonder why we don't see

more of the same elsewhere. ????????????
