Post #1 - June 25th, 2010, 6:05 pmUS bar owner charged in food critic's beatingA bar owner with a history of legal scrapes was charged Friday with hiring a man to beat up the food critic for a newspaper that has reported on the restaurateur's checkered past.
Timothy Rankins, 41, is accused of having associates assault Steve Barnes, the Albany Times Union's food writer, as he left a restaurant with a friend in October 2008. Barnes, who occasionally wrote about Rankins' restaurants, had posted on the newspaper's website that he would be dining there that night.
Two men wearing button-down shirts and gloves set upon the men and began throwing punches as the men left the restaurant around 9:30 p.m. Oct. 17, 2008.

Breitbart is an international news agency, which would account for the US.
