now come back to bed and make love to me
okSojourn said:In the event of serious injury, you're right. Listen, FS.. as I've said repeatedly, I don't agree with what he did.. but assault and battery charges are just laughable to me right now, especially given that no one really knows what happened except that he hit this guy, or even if the kid has anything more than a couple of bruises.
Yeah, well then when a 10 year old says a joke about a 20 year old with his other friends of 10 year olds, and that 20 year old kicks all the 10 year olds asses then it would be okay, because those kids had it comingCrazy8 said:I'm going to have to go with "LGBR had it coming."
FireStorm! said:ok
you are right
we dont know all the facts
the point i am making is that sarcastick's actions were wrong, and i just want everyone to come to that understanding, if they havent already
[insert cliche saying]Just like it is not the rape victims fault for dressing pretty but the rapists fault for raping her.
It is sarcastick's fault (given he is the mature adult) for DOING WHATEVER HE DID to that LGBR (or whoever).
That's all I want people to f*cking agree upon, not that he was PROVOKED and it was OKAY because its FUNNY. excuse my capital letters
it is illegal and it IS considered assault and sarcastick could be taken to court (given that he did jump on the kid in anyway whatsoever, which is in question).
okSojourn said:Let me make this clear right now. I think Rob's actions were wrong, if he did in fact attack this kid. There is no doubt that there are better ways to handle that kind of situation.
Now, here's where I don't agree with you.. if LGBR was being the antagonist, he is not just some victim. If he did try to provoke Rob, it was not only immature, it was ridiculously lacking in any kind of common sense. I am not saying that it is justification, by any stretch of the imagination.. but I can not sit here and listen to people act like LGBR is some rape victim. That's just stupid. There's no excuse for such stupid behavior, I don't care if he is 15.
I'm not going to get dragged further into this regarding charges of assault. But it really bugs the shit out of me that people are jumping to all these conclusions, and all we have is secondhand information. Doesn't it sound a little funny to you that the information really went to great lengths to imply that Rob just beat the crap out of this kid? He "busts his melon" and is "fixing to die" just sounds like a serious beating. Except, the police show up, and let Rob off with a warning? The police may be lax at times, but if a kid nearly dies they are not just going to say "Hey.. don't do that again."
