Alvin Kamara Assault Footage

[the_todd]

That article said he did.

Those groupies around Kamara were just going overboard because Alvin probably pays for all their drinks and food in those settings.

The guy was stupid to start it.
Alvin was stupid for losing his cool that bad...

Wrong. So wrong. Trying to step onto a public elevator is not starting a fight. But keep spinning it to try to justify your piece of trash hero being a thug. Money says he ain’t as hard as he thinks he is without his crew around.

Since the guy lived I feel its safe to say the video would be pretty funny if paired up with some tap dancing/hoedown music.

And that's why I haven't watched an NFL game for years. Think it was Peyton's last season that I watched a game. Even longer for the other pro sports leagues.

So you watch college? What's the difference? Both leagues have felons. SEC basketball has a guy involved in a murder

Then explain what AK did that was particularly disturbing to you

1. He started a fight as a grown man. Once you leave middle school, and certainly by the time you're out of high school, a mature adult knows fighting isn't acceptable behavior. As an adult, there is just too much that can go wrong and too much to lose. And since he has criminal charges against him, we can pretty much assume he started it.
2. He participated in a gang beating of one lone guy. That's about as chickensh_t as you can get.

There's probably more, but that's enough for me right now.

 

[TAF]

Several against one? As an adult? I imagine relatively few of us have.

Which is WHY my original post said “in my 20s”…which is 40+ years ago now…but the responses I got from my original post CONFIRMS the “pussification of America”…

 

[Hacksaw]

I guess I’m stunned at the level of violence, evil, and disgusting harm perpetrated on others that some Volnation folks are willing to explain away, accept, and almost embrace. We have a serious issue in our society which probably will never be dealt with. Youth and ignorance can not be an excuse either. SMH

I agree with you, especially since Kamara is obviously an adult. But this video will be methodically dissected frame-by-frame by lawyers who will argue individual levels of accountability to each participant. Kamara may not be judged to be as guilty as the guy who stomped on the dude after he was already down and clearly not a threat. Doesn't mean he was right and certainly not innocent.

 

[IndianaVol]

Every big time sports person should have to take a mandatory class titled "When drunken jack wagon confornts you, this is what you do...101"
Class is basically just WALK AWAY. Kills me these grown adults have the thick skin to take a beating on gameday and the trash talking that goes with it, but a random person says smack in a hotel, casino, nightclub, and the knee jerk reaction is retaliate...sad commentary on society as a whole.

Not saying Alvin was right or wrong, or provoked or not...just saying if you are a person that has that kind of money, visibilty, and following you WALK AWAY.

 

[WoodsmanVol]

People are quick to play the "don't judge" card in this world as if that's a license for bad conduct. It's pretty easy to tell good fruit from rotten.

And those do act quick to judge is one reason we have people in jail for crimes they didn't commit. There are no innocent parties on either side of this issue. Just a desire to paint themselves holy, and others demonic. I ought to know, as I and a colleague on separate occasions were accused of a violent crime when we did no such thing. In my case, I wasn't even in the state at the time. Over 1,600 miles away, as a matter-of-fact. In her case, it was a matter of her name sounding like the accused but was spelled different (it had a letter that isn't in her name). In both cases, we easily proved we were nowhere near the incidents. But colleagues, and friends, acquaintances, and neighbors had already judged, condemned, and convicted us in my absence, and her presumed guiltiness. Holier than thou folks tend to be the most guilty people of all.

That said, in Kamara's case, the camera doesn't lie regarding what he did. It was thugging, no matter how you want to twist it. Especially, once the man was down. Kamara and his bunch would make very fine rogue cops. They thug real good too.

 

[GetYouSomeofThat]

He is a Bama guy

Right?

 

[BenGrimm]

Pay the man's medical bills and about half a million and make this go away, AK.

You hit him after he was down and that's a penalty even in the NFL. Pay the man and move on.

Half a mil?

He’s being sued for 10 mil on top of assault charges.

Sure, he shouldn't get in fights but things happen, especially when alcohol is involved. Being charged means absolutely nothing with respect to guilt.

He hit the guy a few times then seemed to back off. AKs actions alone did not do the damage shown in the pics

I understand what you are saying in general terms, but AK is 27.

 

[Ashevillevol]

5 people beating and kicking 1 person til he’s senseless is not justifiable under any circumstances. Would any of you, as part of a group of 5, be ok with that because the guy was trying to get into the elevator with you? Unless something totally different comes out, all five should be charged with assault and the last thing Kamara should be worried about is if he’s going to get suspended for any games. He should be thinking about how long he’s going to be in jail.

 

[overseasorange2]

At least he’s not hitting women…..

He is still young!

I’m sure 3 hits to the face from an NFL RB did a good bit of damage. Especially when he threw the first punch. He was pretty much unconscious at that point. Then he is on video bragging about it. All this over not wanting a stranger on your elevator ride.

I don’t like to throw around the term “thug”. I’m sure alcohol was involved. End of the day this is a crime that Kamara need to face legal and civil repercussions for.

There’s not much In my mind that makes someone a bigger pu*** than a group of men jumping one man, then proceeding to stomp on his unconscious head afterwards.Yeah, really tough fighting 4 on one. That is peak pu***.

 

[tennesseeduke]

What an absolute chicken $h!t. I'm no longer a fan and he can rot in jail.

 

[Voltopia]

I don't understand trying to justify this behavior. What does it matter if he threw one punch or ten? Forget the legal standard for crime - laws are about trying to establish rules for a society's idea of justice. I mean in the simple moral sense of right and wrong. This looks wrong. And it looks awful.

 

[IveGotBigVols]

I don’t claim that piece of trash! He’s a thug in every sense of the word. He’s a BFL!

Morally, this kind of behavior is wrong. Period.

Why some people don't seem as outraged as others is probably due to their own life experiences. Some people have never been close to anything like it and simply cannot relate to it on any level. They don't understand how quickly things can spin out of control. One second you're having a great time, the next second it's chaos. Alcohol seems to always be a factor. Some people just should not drink -- ever. But they do and it's obviously never an excuse.

Legally, this will have to play itself out. The law will not try to determine what the group did or to ascribe a group punishment, even if we can all agree that what the group did was morally wrong. Each individual should be held accountable for their specific role, including AK.

 

[Tennman]

that was a disgusting example of being human. It really burns my a$$ when I see people stomping people that are down on the ground. Real brave men there.

Condolences for your horrible experience but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with Kamara's total lack of self-control which he fully displayed. I'm not holier than thou but his actions and gloating about it are pretty incriminating and undeniable.

I saw it. What's your point? Are you defending AK in a thread that's clearly about him and his latest incident? Or, are you stating that nobody should watch a video like this and call it despicable behavior?
