WTF: Rampage??? MMA

[Scottish]

Any consider that maybe this whole mental issue is a set-up to get him out of trouble?

Just thought I would bring it up.

Oh yeah it crossed my mind too. Remember too that while Dana may be a nice enough guy, he's also very much a no bullshit kind of guy, and people in a lot of these "fringe" type businesses tend to know "stuff" about "stuff". What I'm saying is that if Rampage is acting on Dana's advice, he's probably gonna get this worked out somehow. Also I didn't read where he was picked up again by cops. I read that "concerned" friends took him in.

If Irvine PD Officers were the concerned friends then you may be right.

"Jackson, 30, was cooperative when contacted by the police, who took him to an undisclosed hospital for evaluation."

For those unfamiliar with 5150 WIC. It allows for a law enforcement officer to take someone into custody that they deem is a danger to themself or others. They are then released to a medical facility with a mental heath componet. The hold is a 72 hour hold but the subject can be released as soon as a Dr. deems then no longer a danger to themself or others.

Regarding the earlier arrest. He injured a pregnant woman during his antics. I don't have much sympathy for him right now.

Ouch... I hadn't heard about the pregnant woman. Not good...

Very familiar with the 5150.  Not for myself..    I used to work at a school for the socially/emotionally impaired.     Sad really.

I hope Rampage hurting a pregnant woman was unintentional.  Was she 3 weeks or 8 months?  May just be hyping up the story.  You know the press. 

Like I said, hopefully..he'll be able to make a comeback after this!

I hear you on the press aspect.

Even without a baby in the mix, he injured a woman that was innocently driving down the street. A street I'll add that I drove down not three days before, and that my wife drives down several times a week. In other words, he could easily have hurt some one I know or care about. He wants to throw a fit? Do it somewhere else.

I'm sure that all he did was knock that womans mirror off but she will get a ridiculos amount of money for emotional damages or some other shit.  I hate sue happy America.  I know what he did was wrong but I can't imagine that he caused her miscarrage.

I, for one, am still a Quinton Jackson fan.  I hope he clears things up, and gets back on track.

This will make him or break him.

How so?

How so?

I'm thinking that he'll either come back from this incident and kick azz or it's going to mess him up and he won't come back at all.

Most of these fighters only have a couple peak years at best. It's become such a hyper competitive sport, if he's gonna come back he better do it fast.
