Great logic. So kick him off the team for a crime that he is capable of committing.

Let's arrest people for thinking about committing crimes too.

Threatening a woman and breaking her cell phone is pretty damn trashy and unacceptable.

Turning myself in. There's a tree in my backyard that needs to come down but my neighbor wants to roll it first.

I seriously doubt he was ARRESTED for a verbal fight. I'll wait till the details surface to decide what I really think about this though. It's looking like saban will have to explain yet another situation that he shouldnt have to though.

Either way, these guys (on any team) should be smarter than to get all emotional on these sloots when they're under the microscope like they are.

Thank you ray rice. Now we can't even strongly voice disposition to a member of the opposite sex?


I posted what now constitutes domestic violence 3rd degree upthread.

You can indeed be arrested for that strong voice disposition. The law specifically says that if you commit harassing communications in a domestic situation, you're guilty of DV 3rd. Here's one way you can commit harassing communications (text taken directly from the code):

Telephones another person and addresses to or about such other person any lewd or obscene words or language

If you call up your ex and cuss her out, better hope she's the forgiving type or you're heading for a DV charge.

Hopefully that was a joke on his part. That's how I read it.

But I agree that IF this is really the whole story (being that he broke a phone and said some words during a fight) then this arrest is fuarking ridiculous.

All DV is serious, but this sounds minor. He should NOT be kicked off for this. Run some stadiums, etc.

Bad press, but nothing more.


Agree, it's a non violent misdemeanor right? Bad press due to DV being involved, but it doesn't sound too bad.

So what's your personal stance on this? Should it be a criminal act to get mad and say things without actually doing anything? Srs

it shouldn't be anything more than a fine.

the municipal courts are filled with cases like these and 90% of the time the "victim" is calling the prosecutor's office and the defense attorney trying to get it undone. it's a waste of everyone's time and a complete joke as far as crimes go.

I'm not even sure how you can get arrested for shite like this...fricking stupid. If two people get in an argument, and one of them wants to, they could get the other person arrested 8/10 times. Maybe even more than that.

Two part answer.

Part 1: What Jones did should be a very low level crime. Don't break people's shiat and threaten them. It should not have the stigma of domestic violence attached to it. That enhancement should be reserved for legitimate acts of violence.

Part 2: Unless it is done repeatedly, calling someone up and cussing them out should not be a crime. All they have to do is hang up the phone.

Nick Saban needs to call a press conference and denounce cell phone abuse. If we allow people to break cell phones, where does it stop?

Violence cannot be tolerated.
