If Charlotte was the 5th biggest City in the country, I think they would have more clout and better guys in charge.
I do wonder what the rockets would have done if it was a good player and not kpj. Silly to compare bridges, who is a good starter and could potentially be a 3rd best player on a really good team to kpj, who MAY have SOMEDAY developed into a solid 7th man, but had zero potential as a starting level player.
Unless she was from San Antonio. Those large women, sometimes the only way to get through to them is to throw them through a window.
He declined the settlement for the lowest charges, as he should, any settlement would need to be about all the charges, and this might be dropped still - so his attorney would never agree to that. I still think if he does settle, counseling will be part of it. DD
For ANY moron trying to equate Porter's actions to Barkley's... On October 26th, 1997, Houston Rockets power forward Charles Barkley was at Phineas Phoggs, a bar in Church Street Station of Orlando Florida. Jeffery Williams, an off-duty police officer working at the nightspot, stated that Barkley arrived shortly after 11pm and was sitting at a table with fellow Houston Rockets teammate Clyde Drexler and others. At approximately 2 a.m., while Barkley was relaxing and signing autographs for fans, Jorge Lugo, age 20, and another person with him, began harassing Barkleys’ group. Karen Carrington of Deltona, Florida, said Barkley tried to avoid a confrontation with them as Lugo shouted curses and threw a cup of ice. Carrington said she started to confront Lugo, but Barkley persuaded her to ignore him. “Charles grabbed me. He said, ‘Leave it alone. They’re just trying to cause problems’.” But when Lugo threw a glass, hitting Carrington in the jaw and knocking her off her chair, Barkley got angry, she said. Carrington, whose face was bruised, was wearing a neck brace later Sunday. Charles Barkley got up from his seat and went after Jorge Lugo. Officer Williams spotted Lugo running toward the front door with Barkley in pursuit. The officer grabbed Lugo, with Barkley tugging at Lugo’s arm. The officer said he told Barkley: “Charles, I will handle this. Let go. Charles, let me take care of this”. Barkley responded: “I will not hurt him. I just want to talk to him”. When the officer released his grip on Lugo to radio for assistance, Barkley grabbed Lugo, lifted him above his head and threw Lugo through a plate-glass window. Said officer Williams, “I looked up and saw the arrestee (Barkley) holding the victim up in the air by his arms, at which time the arrestee threw the victim into a plate-glass window”. Barkley then taunted Lugo twice. The first time, Barkley told Lugo: “You got what you deserve. You don’t respect me. I hope you’re hurt”. The police report said officers pulled Barkley away, but he stepped back and said, “For all I care, you can lay there and die.”
So he was in a mini bar fight with officers.....far from what KPJ did. Barkley would come up with a severe sentence just because he was dealing with law enforcement but morally KPJ case was more serious. But KPJ likely would not get much jail time given the circumstances that the woman does not want him sentenced.
A fight with officers??? LOL He never touched the cop and was taking up for a woman and himself. Story's right there.
That sounded like a Barkley story so just read the title....and some passage with Barkley held someone's arm, Any words to a cop can end up in arrest, I am not sure you have come across this but you cannot touch a cop in the sense that you cannot even make a snide remark.
Counseling?! What a freaking joke As if anyone needs counseling to tell them not to hit a woman. "Oh wait, you mean that I should NOT beat up women??? Dang, I always get confused on that one! I'll try really, really hard to remember that... my bad!" Pathetic
