Congratulate me, I just got my first mod!

And for the record and to diffuse this stupid racial argument, the dude was white.

I'm white.... so now I'm offended





not really.... I'm more clear than white

maybe you didn't read the avatar policy? or maybe you have more then 22 posts it does not apply?

[El Matador]

It does apply to felonies, but this qualofoes as major assault with grevious bodily injury. I'm not sure how the DA wants to handle it, but it may be a felony

[Mr. Van Sant]

People who are that aggresive are prone to having records. I'm pretty sure that this isn't his first offense. I just hope that this is his third strike.

yep especially guys that hit women.

Maybe you should move on to another thread.  Matador and Lu are good people and did not deserve this.

I'm the token special needs DMF member.... so not only do I get special parking, I get a pass on the avatar (that and everybody here knows I can't eat stuff made with the evil white flour)

Most people who know me, would be pretty worried about me doing something stupid right now; so they know that when I dropped everything and tended to my girlfriend, it had to be serious.

As for what I'm going to do now, as much as the system sucks, we have to go through it.

You said that a lot more eloquently and politely than I would have. Anyone trying to imply that Jesus or Lu did anything wrong here... well, that's just make the beast with two backsing bullshit.

institutionalized socio-economic repression, re-inforcement of a poverty sub-culture and resultant despair/desperation breed crime stats...

not racial characteristics

racism created/creates the conditions that create the statistics

yep especially guys that hit women.

slight aside...this has always bothered me...

if someone is doing somethign that i am going to actually hit them for it doens't matter if they are male or female. they are getting dropped.
and something does not include shooting off at the mouth. it would need to be them coming after me to do harm.

as to the DB in question cracking Lu, (don't get me wrong here Lu and matador) what's the difference between his random act of violence if it's against a male or female. we assume that because she's not a male she is inherently less adept at defending herself. from what they have said so far the punch came out of nowhere so matador would have most likely been dropped by that same punch and be in a similar situation with the jaw and whatnot.

i don't feel he deserves any more or less punishment because he hit a female. he desreves what he gets just for being a douchebucket who cna't think well enough to keep from resorting to a base animalistic urge of "HULK SMASH!" when confronted with something he doens't like.



i also grew up with 3 sisters who taught me early on not to underestimate women.
yes they beat me up

I could not agree more!

El Matador & DesmoLu
I read this thread yesterday and I have not been able to stop thinking about.
it is just horrible.
Desmo- I am so sorry this happened to you. I wish you a speedy recovery
El M.- It sounds like you did exactly the right thing; don't chase the douche, leave it to the Popo & help Lu any way can.

I can only imagine how you both must feel. This BS will pass.

Hopefully, the sub-human, POS that did this ends up spending a lot of quality time in a hard room with an angry, sexually-frustrated 2%-er.

[El Matador]

As interesting as a discussion on racism is, when I said I wanted to diffuse the argument, I mean't to please shut the make the beast with two backs up about it. So pretty please, with sugar on top, take it outside.

I understand what your avatar is, but if the people in my office glance at my screen from far and see that they may think Im on some neo natzi board. I think out of respect for the members and the board rules it should be changed.

If I have to take care of it Chipo...

some people will no longer be here.

Does anyone not understand where I'm coming from?

excuse me? I have been defending them in this thread.

I think based on her injury you are probably right on felony assault.

I talked to my bro about it and he was a former prosecutor in IL and he would have charged felony assault due to pretty much what you are saying about the bodily injury.

Actually, I believe the police officer reccomends the charge and then it is reviewed by the Assistant State's Attorney who is assigned to the case in that court system. That is how it worked where my bro worked, not sure about your state or county law.



Re Knight - I agree with you. I don't believe the court system (at least it should not) prosecute differently based on sex of the individual involved. The law applies equally to all. If not, then that is racist.
