Hashers vs Aerojet
Tuesday’s Bee has the strangest story about a local Hash House Harrier run gone seriously, epically, sideways. Apparently, some hashers were allegedly caught on Aerojet property and Aerojet security allegedly roughed them up went all “Guantanamo” on them.
Reportedly, the security guards generally went nuts over the flour the hashers were using to mark the route (HAZMAT!!!) and hilarity ensued.
Some of the hashers sued and in response, naturally, Aerojet filed a counter-suit. Two years of intense legal wrangling were followed with–silence from all the interested parties.
Some of the details in the Bee story seem to be a bit off –in particular identifying the Doughnut Dash as a “hash. It just happens to be listed on the club’s bulletin board.
All in all, a strange but compelling story. The sad thing is we’ll probably never learn the details as all parties to the lawsuits have agreed to confidentiality and cannot speak on the subject. The good thing is now we’re free to speculate wildly!
