It doesn’t have to be argued as a coincidence. It could be successfully argued that the athlete intentionally and reflexively assumed a stance that would minimize harm to himself as the fan ran in front of him.

An assault conviction is going to require proving the athlete could have avoided the collision, and that the athlete intended to do harm. The athlete only had a fraction of a second to avoid the collision. It’s going to be difficult to convincingly argue the athlete had enough time to avoid the fan, and that the…

false analogy. Let me correct it for you:

No. That is evidence that one man ran in front of another running man and was knocked down. Also, an attorney would point out in court the first man was not authorized to be running in that spot, while the second man was.

That’s not really a lot of evidence to get a felony conviction. Seems like the most he could reasonably get is an apology.

So if you’re poor, it’s OK to kill your babies?

If we have to go through a period where fewer good films get made while the powerful in Hollywood learn basic self-control, then I’m OK with that.

Wow. I guess it’s really her fault when you look at it that way.

If they could do this for gaming, I imagine the same easy-to-use set of tools could work in some form for other sports as well. Imagine being able to live jump from cameras in a football match and having the ability to quick-copy-crop and post your own edits.

Well, bless your heart.

Just to have a baseline, what percentage say they’ll never turn into their parents?

The 3 bags were probably her purse, a diaper bag, and a backpack.Technically 3 bags, but it’s possible the airline didn’t charge her for the purse and diaper bag, especially if the baby had a ticketed seat (but the article didn’t mention that, so maybe not.)

My experience is more with SEC college football, where this is the norm. College towns in the SEC can swell to 3 or 4 times their size on gamedays so police and sheriffs are brought in from neighboring cities and counties to handle street closures and traffic routing before/ after games. Somehow they pay for it. But I…

Counter-Counter Offer: Free pie.

As a counter-offer, the city should offer free shuttle bus service from downtown to the stadium, increased Police presence/ traffic control, and block off key streets before and after games to create express in and out routes to the stadium. It would give the owner what he CLAIMS to need, and it would costs billions…

probably not, but a man can dream.

Robert, this post has promise, but you can do more; be more.

I bet she forgot the pause of a comma and meant to say, “your right to speak, American.”

Ha! Sucker! I don’t even read the book. I just look at the cover and make up my own story in my mind. No way anyone gets royalties from THAT!

I guess since you’re the same race as her you wouldn’t learn much from her anyway... because diversity.
