NBA Thread 2020-21 Season

Exactly what I would have charged with him.

Kid is looking at real jail time, significant probation and probably a high 4 figure to low 5 figure fine.

Unless the prosecutor is told to just settle it down to simple assault and take the win.

Dangerous weapon is a bit exaggerated. But yeah guys a clown.

Why? Had he hit him in the right place, some really serious things could have happened with that from that distance. Eye injury?

I'm guessing this isn't this idiots first experience with the judicial system. He gone. And that's fine.

If the water bottle hit Kyrie from that distance in his eye it could have done serious harm.
It’s why AWD was the proper charge.
The intent was to do serious bodily harm.

If I threw a water bottle out in public at someone I wouldn’t be charged with a deadly weapon thing. Dudes being made an example out of given circumstances and I am totally fine with it.

If you were throwing the bottle with the intent to do serious bodily harm you would.
Likely though you would be just chucking the bottle with no malice aforethought.
He is being made an example of but he intended to commit bodily harm on a Net likely Kyrie so he is getting the higher charge.

He wasn't. Look at the wording - dangerous weapon.

Yea fair. Seems Canada has a differentish definition of dangerous weapon which got me confused.

 

[OrangeDW]

They need to come down as harshly as possible on all these idiots throwing things, so that it’s not even a thought in someone’s drunkenly obliterated mind to do it going forward. Put the kibosh on it now.

 

[Arangeman]

He could have been hit in the eye!!!

Absolutely these fans need a lifetime ban, etc but it was popcorn and a water bottle for Pete’s sake. Used to be batteries.

[jordville]

Just curious: who are the favorite teams of posters in this thread? Figure since it’s an NBA thread might as well share who our NBA teams are.

 

[MikeSU02]

Favorite team is the Knicks.

Zero tolerance for any fans BS.

Prosecute all these fools to the extent that is possible.

Anyone who thinks any of it is ok is part of the problem.

I like this idea.

Washington fan runs onto the court.

Alright Memphis fans, what you got for us tonight!?

Smh, let’s go back to the bubble.

Trust me, this is on topic, wait until the end.

Smh, let’s go back to the bubble.

I'm already sick of people.

 

[Eric15]

As usual, Westbrook has the weirdest stat line ever. 16 points, 18 rebounds, 12 assists... but 3-17 from the field.

 

[Fireball Jr.]

Is that a cannabis leaf on the back of the interloper’s shirt?

 

[Eric15]

Another angle. How about this security guard basically handling the entire situation himself. He earned his paycheck tonight.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

He wasn't. Look at the wording - dangerous weapon.

You really ought to read the applicable laws before spouting off nonsense. Here is an article on the MA definition of a assault with a dangerous weapon, which says that "any action that places the person in imminent apprehension of harmful or offensive contact, or any attempt to make harmful or offensive contact with the person constitutes an assault."

Assault and Battery with a Dangerous Weapon (ABDW) and Aggravated ABDW

Lay persons often confuse assault with battery: (From Westlaw)
In an act of physical violence, assault refers to the act which causes the victim to apprehend imminent physical harm, while battery refers to the actual act causing the physical harm.

Its a solid charge.

I'm playing the field till we get the Sonics back to town. Rooting for Melo and Lebron.

 

[bpo57]

ESPN has become such a joke.

They chopped Durant’s quote in half to make it seem like he was dissing Boston when what he said was fair.


ESPN wants narratives that’s all.

ESPN has been a joke for a long, long time.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

The the 76ers aren't getting a sweep.
