I saw one strike during that clip that may meet that definition, but it wasn’t thrown by the drunken woman.

As the guy said, their “fucking jobs” are literally to deal with “shitty” people. I’m not sure why we all find it so difficult to say “hey, if a woman is sloppily flopping around and happens to smack you lightly on the face, you don’t get to knock the shit out of her while three of you have her restrained.”

I’m not sure it was hitting the canvas with back of his head that hard that knocked him out...

I would have agreed with you, but it turns out that preventing the look of early onset aging is actually THE most adult thing of all.

Tricky to get straight cuts while actually fucking. Better wait until you’re done, and then give the safety razor a try. You should get a remarkably clean and smooth butt cheek from the experience.

Wait...the fewer the blades the better, so FIVE blades should do the trick?! I have pretty sensitive skin, but I bought a safety razor from the art of shaving a few years ago and haven’t had any issues since. Virtually no razor burn/bumps, ingrown hairs, etc. Plus, it makes me feel like the kind of guy who chops his…

I’m a government lawyer. Literally nothing better to do all day.

And it’s impossible to argue that someone shouldn’t have known that violently shoving a victim into the ground could cause serious bodily harm, such as a concussion. His injury wasn’t fluky- it’s not like he HAPPENED to hit a rock that someone had JUST AT THAT MOMENT thrown by his head. He was violently hit and fell…

It doesn’t matter whether or not he KNEW that slamming into someone could have resulted in that SPECIFIC harm. He launched his body at a defenseless fan in what is obviously a cheap shot. Claiming he didn’t know that could cause serious harm is ludicrous. No judge is going to agree that doing this to the fan…

The first is state a mind question- intent to hit him. The second element is not a state of mind. He was undeniably reckless- throwing himself at the fan is reckless behavior. The infliction of substantial harm is an objective question, not a state of mind- did it inflict substantial harm? Having to go to the hospital…

No. Just no. Thousands of people storm fields every season without football players maliciously assaulting them. That’s an absurd argument. Nothing the VICTIM did LED to the football player assaulting him. He launches himself at the fan, clearly establishing intent to assault him. There is no excuse for what he did.

It’d be tough to get past the precedent set in the case of Harry v. Lloyd:

The first amendment is implicated by governmental action. Freedom of speech is broader. We can have a society that promotes freedom of speech without needing the government to do so, just like we can stifle freedom of speech without implicating the first amendment. So yes, anyone saying that this is a first amendment…

“I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death my right to tell you stop saying it”...?

It’s amazing to me how defensive people get about this fact. I mentioned it casually at lunch with some coworkers (“hey, you know you really don’t HAVE to guzzle 8 8-ounce glasses of water a day”) and two of them angrily argued with me about it for like 20 minutes. They were so incensed that they would literally point…

I feel like it’ll be similar to how I felt about the tactile keyboards that all phones had before the original iPhone. I remember forcefully telling people how ridiculous it was to have a touchscreen (“how am I going to text people in the movies or classrooms without ever taking my phone out of my pocket?! This will…

Huh? That’s like saying “the problem is that UPS was almost certainly encouraging its drivers to get packages delivered as quickly as possible, right up until they were punishing their drivers for running red lights, getting into accidents, and accumulating speeding tickets.” You can promote activities at your…

“The controversies are “unwanted” for ESPN executives, who want to keep advertisers happy, avoid offending anyone at all costs, and protect the bottom line.”

I think you mean 34-21 Jets win over the Bills.

This is a terrible idea. For one, it saves exactly zero seconds. While the ref makes the announcement the teams are already moving to the new spot- these things happen at the same time, and taking away the mic won’t magically move 22 football players any faster. Secondly, the live experience would be horrendous. You…
