Spanky__99 Old-Timey Member Posted May 8, 2018 Posted May 8, 2018 Ok so...I've been dating women for around two decades now. Never have I felt the need to raise my hand to one nor did I have to defend myself from "crazy" in a physical fashion. Not even close. I have a dozen or so male friends who I'm close enough with to discuss chicks n stuff, and no one has ever brought this up either. Where the hell do you people find these crazy women? Or do you just make this s*** up to make it sound like the Average Joe has got such a hard life? Is kids the key to this? Whiny brats don't shut the hell up and get on the parents nerves so they take it out on each other? This post is empty....

Just because some girls are nuts doesnt mean all or even some majority are. I’ve come across a number of couples getting in a mutual altercation in my line of work so that’s where my perspective comes from Maybe Osuna pulled a Ray Rice though. The immediate backlash from mlb and Jays prob doesn’t bode well as they obviously know the details
Omar Old-Timey Member Posted May 8, 2018 Posted May 8, 2018 Good luck getting her to testify in court when she's sitting in Guadalajara sipping margaritas. Charges eventually dropped and he will return after sufficient penance and a pound of flesh....or so I hope.
Carlos Danger Old-Timey Member Posted May 8, 2018 Posted May 8, 2018 From Russ Atkins: "We support Major League Baseball in that effort and appreciate and respect everything they've done, not just to heighten awareness, but to understand this is much more than baseball, much bigger than just coming out here and trying to beat the Seattle Mariners." If I were Russ I might have said try and win or something else..
intrigid Verified Member Posted May 8, 2018 Posted May 8, 2018 Everyone on this thread, not to mention MLB/MLBPA should be assuming that he's innocent. But of course it's 2018, and all founding principles of our society are to be trampled on, because that's the fashionable thing to do.

Charges eventually dropped and he will return after sufficient penance and a pound of flesh....or so I hope. In domestic assault charges it is routine for investigators to do a K.G.B statement (video recorded under oath) with the complainant in the early stages. If the complainant has a change of heart the Crown can proceed without his/her consent with that video in their back pocket. If at trial they become an adverse witness the video is played and the Judge can accept the earlier "testimony" as evidence. Even before this occurs, the complainant can be threatened with criminal charges including public mischief, perjury, and obstruction of justice to compel cooperation (actually laying the charges is something altogether different). Witnesses that fail to appear after a summons has issued can be the subject of a warrant (usually endorsed) and a refusal to answer questions can result in contempt of court charges. In short, reluctant complainants are not a bar to conviction. I would add that the days of just dropping charges or issuing peace bonds are nearing extinction.

Abomination Old-Timey Member Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 oh come on, its not a today thing, its been like this forever Maybe, but in the past news outlets typically had SOME process in place to investigate before reporting. Social media has no such thing, just a bunch of loud mouths trying to use everything to further their agendas.

Governator Community Moderator Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 If he's convicted, I never want to see him again. I'll take 25 stroman tantrum players over a piece of s*** woman beater any day.

Well it's just one person not likr it's 15 plus woman accusing him of something in which case he is obviously a piece of s***.

Basically give him a chance it's still early and we aren't 100% sure yet of the seriousness of the situation.

Mohammed Verified Member Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 God damn... being accused of assault and having that that information go public is a f***ing lynch mob death sentence in this day and age. That is a lot of unfair power that women now possess.
AledmysDiaz Verified Member Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 God damn... being accused of assault and having that that information go public is a f***ing lynch mob death sentence in this day and age. That is a lot of unsubstantiated power that women now possess. If the cops made an arrest they had probably cause at the scene, not just heresasy.
closetjaysfan Verified Member Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 .. hence the "if he's convicted". I'm going to suggest reserving judgement until the facts are on the record. Assault in is broadly defined in Canada. Unwanted physical contact can be assault (ie: pushing, punching, kicking, biting etc.) but so is simply raising your hand like you are intending to slap someone in a threatening manner or grabbing something out of someone's hand. Further, intent can be transferred. For example: a drunk patron at a bar takes a swing at the guy who spilled his drink on him only to miss and hit his own girlfriend.
dineke Old-Timey Member Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 lol he's not getting convicted. He's rich and famous so he's fine.
Mohammed Verified Member Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 If the cops made an arrest they had probably cause at the scene, not just heresasy. True. What I'm still saying is if somebody famous, semi-famous accuses X of assault or something in a public way (even if they are completely innocent)... X is now the devil and rejected by society. You would have a hard time getting a cup of coffee after that. That is scary s***.
leaffie Verified Member Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 No one in this thread that I can see is calling him the devil or rejecting him. Most have said, lets wait until we have more,information.
5ToolPhenom Verified Member Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 It's definitely different now adays. I remember Jose Canseco got arrested over a domestic dispute, and it was dealt with with very little fanfare. We'll have to wait and see what the details are, but whatever the case, I fully expect Rogers to overreact. I wouldn't bet on him pitching with the Jays again.

OJ was convicted of wife beating before the murders and real life celebrity Roy Firestone gave him the softest interview in history to help brush it aside. Seriously, check out the interview some time.
