Yep. That was just stupid. I can't imagine a coach told them to do that. Life is not a video game.

That was bad, but unless the ref was physically hurt...

I think arresting them is an over reaction. Now a days in this country we arrest too many people for minor things. If the ref got an injury where he needed a hospital visit, then yeah it makes sense to charge them. Our justice system is weird in this country. We have murderers, rapists, child molesters, and wife beaters who get less harsher sentences than people who commit minor crimes.

I'm with you LKN. So we determine whether to press charges or not based on how serious the injuries are to the victim. Sounds like a West Coast thinker to me. I hope we never use that type of "logic' in this country.

you are not a danger to society since you can't hit. Punk a ref and it's okay if you don't hurt him. Next time maybe he will see the play a bit better and get the right call

they used their bodies as a weapon....no different than a gun. If they had hit him in the right place, he could be dead. A weapon is a weapon
the human body itself can be legally considered a deadly weapon if an attacker uses his hands, feet, or other body parts to assault a victim.
But courts in several states like Texas, Ohio, and Kentucky have determined the human body to be a deadly weapon under certain circumstances.
Bottom line...2 punk kids in full pads and helmet attack a person FROM BEHIND wearing no protective gear. is a crime.

I still don't understand why you consistently berate people on an internet board with personal attacks. I just don't see a need for it. Nothing wrong with disagreeing in a way that befits a Southern gentleman but you need to show a little refrain.
Maybe I am the only one here who sees it but it needed to be said.

If somebody blatantly takes me to the ground when I'm completely defenseless on the street and then his buddy attacks while I'm down. I'm pressing charges and bringing civil suits as well regardless if I'm hurt or not.

you fit in with right wingers complaining about welfare, then go sign up for it once they fall on hard times. I've been working since I was 15 continually until now. I worked 40 hours a week at 15, when it wasn't even legal for 15 year olds to work that many hours. So keep your false stereotypes to yourself. Oh and go have fun with your buddies, because this will be the last time I respond to you or your clique of trolls.

I am one of those people who thinks that people overreact to everything, but not this. Two kids getting in a fist fight is one thing.... but spearing a person from behind and using your helmet as a weapon once the guy is down on the ground is disgusting. They could have crippled that guy.

So let me try this scenario:
Assume someone fires a gun at you. He doesn't hit you, but he was aiming at you with the intent of hitting you. You are not physically hurt.
He shouldn't be charged with anything?

So what you're bringing up is a completely different situation. Sorry, but I'm just not a reactionary. In this country we have more people in prison than China. If you read my post, I point out in this country that murderers, rapists, child molesters, and wife beaters get less jail time and sometimes no jail time than people who commit far less egregious crimes. Drug addicts spend more time in jail than killers, in some instances.

Well then your statement of "no bodily harm" should be thrown out the window and all that is left is to press charges for assault correct?
Also, "not reactionary" is a terrible phrase to use. You have to be reactionary in a case like this because there has to be an action for a reaction. The action was two players wearing pads and helmets attacking a defenseless person from behind so therefore the reaction is criminal charges, banishment from football, etc.
Also, these kids aren't drug addicts, murderers, etc. so you are "bringing up a completely different situation" that doesn't pertain to this act, which is on video therefore can be proved without reasonable doubt, in question.
