Pacers fan allegedly stabbed Knicks supporter at Indiana brewery during playoff game
A Pacers fan has been charged after he was accused of stabbing a Knicks fan at a Carmel, Ind., brewery during Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals Friday night.
An employee at Danny Boy Beer Works told cops that Jarrett Funke, 24, left the brewery after a fight only to return and stab a man in the back, according to Fox 59.

According to News 8, that man also suffered a minor lung tear and a broken rib, while a second man suffered a leg laceration from falling. Both men were 'bleeding profusely,' according to the report.
The alleged victims said Funke 'smacked' a Knicks hat off one of the fans. Funke then allegedly yelled, 'F–k you, you still have a f–king problem. Take this outside,' as he was taken away from the Knicks supporters by his father.
As the Knicks fans were on a patio, they alleged that Funke 'stormed through the fence' to attack them. One of the alleged victims said he 'briefly displayed a black folding pocket knife to deter (Funke) but repocketed it, as he had no intention of using it,' per Fox 59.

Colorado's hate-fueled firebomer: Letters to the Editor — June 5, 2025
The Issue: An illegal migrant's antisemitic terror attack on a rally for Israeli hostages in Boulder. Mohamed Sabry Soliman is not a hate-fueled madman, he is a violent terrorist — nothing more, nothing less ('The man with an evil plan,' June 3). How long will it take liberal Democrats in Washington to condemn this violence? It's time for the liberal establishment in this country to stand up and speak out against antisemitism. It's time for legacy media to do the same. Silence will only feed and nourish this hatred. Violence will happen as surely as night follows day. Let Boulder not be forgotten; what happened there cannot be repeated elsewhere. Sal Giarratani Boston, Mass. Again, this is cancerous hate manifested into an unspeakable act of terror. 'Free Palestine' is now synonymous with 'Kill Jews on American soil.' Dave Charak Boca Raton, Fla. Unless more security is given to the Jewish community, I seriously doubt that the antisemitic attacks will end. Even if Soliman is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, what good does it do? He and others like him will gladly die for their cause — which is to exterminate all Jews and, if need be, die a martyr. Can someone please tell me how to stop this madness? JoAnn Lee Frank Clearwater, Fla. When US campuses rang with antisemitic chants, university presidents hid behind the 'free speech' excuse. Now Soliman has driven 100 miles to Boulder with Molotov cocktails, echoing those very same chants as he set Jews on fire with a makeshift flamethrower. Campus leaders lacked the spine to clearly and forcefully condemn calls for violence against Jews. Their silence was not neutrality — it was permission for people like Mohamed Sabry Soliman to do what he did. Todd Pittinsky Port Jefferson Four of the 9/11 hijackers overstayed their visas and were in the US illegally. The Egyptian who threw Molotov cocktails in Boulder, Colo. overstayed his visa and was here illegally. Anyone who overstays their visa is a clear danger to the security of the United States and its law-abiding citizens. Richard Sherman Margate, Fla. Everything happens in Colorado: The Columbine HS shooting, Tren De Aragua taking over an entire apartment building and now a lunatic antisemite throwing Molotov cocktails at a bunch of Jewish people. In every instance, DAs and federal officials treat us to feckless speeches — but we want answers. Was this perp ever surveilled? Did the police department ever even notify the feds that he was in Colorado, having violated his visa date? Ken Karcinell Hewlett The Issue: The Knicks firing Tom Thibodeau after their best season in 25 years. The firing of the New York Knicks' head coach was totally unwarranted ('Raising the bar,' June 4). Tom Thibodeau led the team to back-to-back 50-win seasons, then numerous playoff victories. It took 25 years to find a successful coach for the Knicks. What about holding the players accountable for losing in the Eastern Conference finals? The Knicks owner and team president Leon Rose should be ashamed of themselves for making this move. Joseph Comperchio Brooklyn Are you kidding me? The classless Knicks fired their head coach. Hey, James Dolan: Take your celebrity row and have a huge pity party. I can only hope and pray the Knicks don't see any hint of a championship for another 25 years.

[AP] Could you go a week without consuming artificial food dyes? Yahoo Wellness Editor Erin Donnelly stopped by to talk about her team's reporting on the potentially harmful additives. Jessica: Remind me: What's the issue with artificial food dyes, and what's being done about them? Erin: The government plans to phase out petroleum-based artificial food dyes like red No. 40 over concerns that they can cause health problems, including behavioral issues in some children. That's why our writer Amelia Edelman, a mom of two, wanted to see how hard it would be to go dye-free for a month. Erin: She was surprised by how many items in her pantry contained these dyes — even pickles! Though she's happy with her dye-free swaps, finding them in the supermarket wasn't always easy. As a mom myself, I related to her biggest challenge: getting a kid to take medicine that isn't a fun color. Erin: To be clear, one expert told Amelia that it's 'not a deal-breaker' if you can't go completely dye-free. But you can start cutting back by reading nutrition labels to see what you're eating. Also, consider buying imported versions of your staples. Many other countries have already banned these artificial dyes. Cut back on artificial dyes: Here are some staples and what to get instead.
