Britknee.

so how many games does he get?!?

We've come a long was from, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon.

Is her name Tiffany or Misty?

This video is bs. The security guard flopped. Do you REALLY call that a shove come on! Show me something that is illegal TMZ! Like the last video from the parade, nothing was done wrong . Move along.

I don't care about all the other stuff.

How much does he weigh? He looks like he's 260 pounds.

Agreed, he was obviously buzzed/drunk, you could see him stumbling. The guard said something to him, and he got up to him, his arms were outstretched and he kind of stumbled into the guard he was up against the rail leaning on it, and lost his balance and went down.

No push, no shove, a while lot of nothing.

If this was any joe schmoe, there would not have been cameras following them around for so long, and the whole thing would have gone unnoticed, unreported, and been blown off as a stumbling drunk.

Mountain meet mole hill.

Will NFL take action against Ezekiel Elliott?
Posted by Mike Florio on May 21, 2019, 11:05 AM EDT

Two years ago, the NFL aggressively disciplined Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott under the Personal Conduct Policy, suspending him for six games despite no arrest, no charges, and not even a civil lawsuit alleging assault or battery in a domestic relationship. Regardless of any flaws in the NFL’s investigation or internal prosecution (and there were plenty), Elliott eventually served the suspension in full after dropping his legal fight.

And the suspension of Elliott came with this stern admonition: “You must have no further adverse involvement with law enforcement, and must not commit any additional violations of league policies. In that respect, you should understanding that another violation of this nature may result in your suspension or potential banishment for the NFL.”

Now, a video has emerged showing Elliott in the face of a security guard at a music festival in Las Vegas, moving toward the guard and either causing the guard to fall down or, possibly, shoving him toward the ground with a right arm that potentially extended elbow first in the direction of the guard. Elliott was not arrested or charged with any sort of crime, and the Cowboys have no issue with what has come to light.

But that’s not the end of it, as Elliott and the rest of us learned in 2017. The league will do whatever the league is going to do, and the league typically does whatever it wants to do.

In this case, the league could take action, if it chooses to. The first specific example of prohibited conduct in the Personal Conduct Policy targets “[a]ctual or threatened physical violence against another person.” (Emphasis added.) Even if the league determines that Elliott made no contact with the guard, the league could conclude that Elliott converged on the guard — uttering “you got something to say?” — in a threatening manner, which prompted the guard to back away until he fell down.

If the league finds a violation of the Personal Conduct Policy, it would be a minor one at worst. Given Elliott’s history, however, that could still lead to a major problem. “Repeat offenders will be subject to enhanced and/or expedited discipline, including banishment from the league with an opportunity to reapply,” the Personal Conduct Policy states.

Given the suspension from 2017, the warning communicated to Elliott at the time, and the league’s proclivity to take aggressive action against players accused or any type of violence regardless of criminal consequences or lack thereof, it makes sense to pay close attention to what the league does or doesn’t do in response to the emergence of a video that arguably shows enough to cause the league to conclude that Elliott is a repeat offender under the Personal Conduct Policy.

This doesn’t even address the bigger picture. Elliott’s girlfriend is very clearly trying to get away from him and Elliott refuses to let her. Picking up his pace to get in front of her so she cannot get past him. Then there is apparently some shouting going on by Elliott after the girlfriend says “leave me alone” very loudly. Then Elliott becomes aware that security is checking out the situation. Once Elliott sees security has their eye on him he quickly moves away from his girlfriend. So Elliott was full on with his intent to bully the girl until he got caught. Then Elliott tries to bully the smaller security guard (bypassing the bigger security guys) and possibly has a physical contact with the smaller security guy that coincides with the guy going down.

Definition:
The definition of assault varies by jurisdiction, but is generally defined as intentionally putting another person in reasonable apprehension of an imminent harmful or offensive contact. Physical injury is not required.




And people wonder why the term snowflake has become so popular.

If you are going to talk about snowflakes, start with people who get offended when somebody says something mean about them. Or they get so rattled by somebody saying the wrong word that they actually think words = violence. Those are the real snowflakes.

intentionally putting another person in reasonable apprehension of an imminent harmful or offensive contact

The word intent and apprehension are purely subjective terms. I've seen people get apprehensive when they see a bee. I've seen people get so upset they appear to be very angry. Maybe they are. So since that makes someone else apprehensive, are they guilty of assault because the person was angry?

The world is full of tough guys who think it isn’t a problem when a man interferes with a woman, or leans into a security guard.

Okay. Imagine any scenario where you’re not wanting to have a conversation with someone. And imagine that person is 2X, 3x, maybe 4x stronger than you. There is zero doubt they can lay a severe beating on you, if they choose. And they’re arguing with you. And you’re trying not to. But they keep cutting you off, getting in your way, following you around, preventing you from being clear of the situation.

Is that okay? Is it? Now try and use whatever limited cranial capacity you have. Is there any scenario where you think this is okay. Here, let me help you. It’s not okay.

Stop defending the undefensible.

It's always nice to pair that third grade logic with third grade sayings. Very congruent.
