http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2763027 this has to be one of the dumbest reasons to stop a fight jackson of the pacers, ex
"Go ahead and dump, dump!" lol, I love this quote. "Where I'm from, 'dump' means pull out your gun and shoot," he said.
It's not that dumb. He didn't shoot anybody, he shot in the air and it worked. Sounds like an efficient way to stop a fight to me. Seriously, what other way can you stop a fight without getting physical? I don't think talking is going to stop a fight.
Shooting your gun will definately stop a fight. I'm not saying it was the right thing to do but it worked.
What article did you read? According to it, it was only AFTER Jackson shot the gun that he got hit by someone else's car. Clearly, it did not work.....unless his goal was to get bruised up by being hit by a car??
It's also an efficient way to get shot. Also, when you shoot bullets into the air, they tend to fall back down at some point.
Where I'm from, if a 6'8 guy says "Hey guys, you should really stop fighting." that's pretty much enough to stop a fight. Seriously, who the hell picks fights with these giants?
Where R. Kelly is from, that means to open your mouth while he takes off his pants and takes a crap in it.
Both Jackson and Tinsley carry guns? If I was that worried about violence I would stay away from clubs, strip clubs and other potentially trouble making places. JUst go home and enjoy your money, I am not saying you can't go out but make smarter decisions than a strip joint.
