Predicted this in the arrest thread.

But I was told in the arrest thread by some guy who claimed to know people involved that tank was effed.

I was hoping he would be cleared. I think any of us would have reacting in a similar way if a drunken stranger just walked into your home and not leaving once told to. You damn right your going defend your home with some offensive reaction. You have a right to defend your home in this country from unwanted entry, unless that is about to change

Sorry for injecting politics. Back to football. Go Vols

Oh hell naw! This is Volnation we are obligated to overreact. You’re not gonna pick up a fly swatter when you can use a nuclear weapon.

Nukem!!!!

Good. He was smart to not answer questions after he was arrested. It had the effect of only the other guy’s story being heard, which obviously paints JM not in the best light, but is just that: a story, not necessarily true. He avoided saying things that could potentially hurt his chances to make his case to his coaches and the university.

Plenty of times people hurt their own cases, especially in this day and age where social media and others are eager to convict a guy in the court of public opinion even if it involves misconstruing comments or spinning a false narrative.

Glad to have him back!

That’s true but according to the other guy he left and was pursued. You can’t chase someone who is retreating, mess them up, and claim self-defense. That said, remember, that was just the other guy’s side of the story, not necessarily the truth. Apparently, the University felt after hearing JM’s side that they could clear him, and that’s great.

And if I had to guess hearing his side also included very compelling evidence.

He was cleared so why speculate?

Yeah I’d suspect so. In this day and age where you know the decision is gonna be put under a microscope most organizations are gonna want have solid ground to fall back on, since the downside of not can be very very bad for them.

 

[TennesseeZep]

I don’t recommend you just walk into a house in our neighborhood on the mountain either.

 

[Stephen Gray]

I’m not speculating at all. I don’t know what happened. My purpose was:

1. To remind y’all that if you chase an intruder and then harm them or even worse kill them you can end up in prison since that’s not self-defense legally. I want to keep you folks free.

2. To point out that I’m not saying that’s what he did at all. That as just what the other guy said who had incentives to spin things in his favor.

Please don’t move this one to the politics forum!

But what’s the current status of his “legal” issues that don’t involve the school. I really hope he gets this issue resolved and can be back in time for UGA at least.

Perhaps he didn't chase the guy. Instead the guy was drunk and fell down the stairs like drunks sometimes do? Maybe JM injured his hand by punching the wall in anger? One day we'll know both sides of the story.

Long story short...Don't be overactive.

I said that exact thing in the arrest thread. People are way too quick to just assume the accuser is right and that a defense attorney can't get 1 in 12 to doubt.
