Did anyone press charges ?

No idea, but lack of someone pressing charges has zero to do with whether or not a crime was committed.

This is a crime in Tennessee. It may or may not be prosecuted as such, but it is a crime no matter what. 6B00DB22-DDA7-4651-904D-6D43882BB2E3.jpeg

Humans have a tendency to become attached to inanimate objects. Then modify their behavior to treat them as if they are either a person or other living thing. Examples, shipmates speaking to their boats as if the things can hear them and respond to their demands, urging, or requests. Same thing with an engine man and his train, a driver and his/her old trusty (or not) car, and so on. That in mind, let me assure you, when Jeremy Banks, to quote you, "smacked her hand(phone) out of anger" the phone isn't, and never was the girl herself. Even if she referred to her phone as old girl and Molly Mae. The Bama guy actually hit a real person. I still think the conduct of both guys were wrong, though the actions weren't the same. But you know, when gets over holy on an issue, facts get lost.

Not sure why you're defending this stupid boy....

In what way is a girls hand not hers? She's a real person too fyi. I get it, you're glad he's on the team as he plays well. Justify it how you want, it doesn't matter. Fact is he struck a female out of anger and it's on video which is exactly the same thing that happened here. The area struck is irrelevant.

Also, your philosophy of human behavior is lost on me and kinda pointless here, not sure what that was about.

Being a domestic abuse survivor, this young man clearly should've kept his hand to himself. Just because you're upset don't hit the closest or weakness thing at hand, walk away. Stupid young man!

You: her hand(phone)
Me: Try phrasing your claims with more clarity so what you mean is comprehensible.

How come you guys stand behind Jeremy Banks? He pretty much did the same thing on video and now you guys praise him. Funny how people forget when those dudes start running fast again.

He was kicked off the team. He did was was asked of him. He served his punishment and has had no instances since. That is why we stand behind him now. I'm sure there were a few who didn't (there always are), but most condemned his actions right after the incidence. I think we are wanting to see if Bama handles Burton's situation any differently. Are you saying that if somebody screws up they should be banished from society forever?

He was never kicked off the team. He was suspended. He never took anger management, community service, ect afaik. All he did was take some photos with police officers and kept his name out of the media. He's a future court case all because he can play football well.

I simply cannot believe there is any room for argument here. Striking another human being (unprovoked) is wrong. Severe consequences should follow when a situation as this occurs. It is furthermore equally unacceptable to condone such behavior. As we all know, Football players are, and should be, held to higher standards because of the greater impression they have on youth and society as a whole.

Secondly, Jeremy Banks was punished for his actions. He was given a pathway back to the team. He did what was required of him. I would hope the Bammer would be willing to accept a similar process; however, we ain't there yet. Accountability is step one.

Please help me with this if y'all can. I cannot find anything about charges being pressed or action taken by UofA through a google search. Have I missed something?

I'm not sure what Banks has to do with your defense of Burton striking a woman, but you remain full of $hit.

Jeremy Banks is no longer a member of the Tennessee football team, Vols coach Jeremy Pruitt announced Friday.

"I have made the decision to remove Jeremy Banks from our football program," Pruitt said in a statement released by the school. "While I will continue to support Jeremy in the next steps in his life, information I recently received made it clear that this decision is in the best interest of the football program and the university."

I look forward to your next fact-filled and meaningful argument about Peyton Manning not only being back on campus, but welcomed into the locker room despite that time he threw footballs at those United Way kids.

That's just it. "As far as you know" he didn't do all that stuff, so he didn't and he should be publicly shunned forever. He WAS kicked off the team. Just because you don't "know" it, that doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Maybe educate yourself next time before spouting off generalities without knowing the situation.

Yes he did…but the national media attention, as well as the Tuscaloosa media, may dictate otherwise before this is over. This thing is taking on a life of its own and is growing.

Bama keeps taking the L 5 days later. Gotta love it.

Wut. I'm not defending him, quite the opposite. I think you don't even know what the context of my comments are cause you can't be that dumb.

Your words: He smacked her hand(phone) out of anger. I'm sure you can find the video. I can't remember what else he did, but it was violent in nature. {#479 of this thread]

Your claimed statement: What I said is very clear. He struck her hand which was holding a phone. [#513 of this thread]

My Misread due to not seeing the parenthesis: I read it was hand phone. I also the misread was due to your parenthesis being too close to the two words hand and phone. But typos happen no matter who you are, and I just didn't note the punctuation. BUT I got guts enough to admit my own errors when it is made obvious to me. Are you trying to justify accusing me of justifying Jeremy? Why? And I ask you why because in my post, I clearly stated: I still think the conduct of both guys were wrong, though the actions weren't the same. [#505 of this thread] I misread your comment due to not seeing the parenthesis, and again have the guts to admit it. Do you have the guts to admit you choose to accuse me of justifying Jeremy's behavior, when in fact I did just the opposite? Probably not, so I'll just Elsa it.

I don’t think he actually hit her I think he ran his hand across her face I mean I hate Alabama as much as anyone but obviously he wasn’t trying to hurt her imo.
