Patrick Chung arrested for assault and battery

Wang would also be ok.

Hope this is all a misunderstanding.

Please be a kitchen accident.

Deeply disappointed. This Pats homer rationalized the "incident" at his NH condo. Hope I'm wrong again in the opposite direction.

Since he's still on probation from that incident, those charges are back on the table.

I dunno. A police report and arraignment are pretty solid sources.

True, but, there was a police report in tug gate too. I will withhold judgement until after trial.

 

[Thelonious]

I always liked him as a player. I thnk he always played well above his innate abilities.

As for the present mess, it just shows again what hopeless BS the "Sports build character" nonsense really is.

 

[BTTA]

So just over two months before he's off the conditional release of the NH situation, and this happens?
If guilty here, he'll now have two trials/sentences to deal with simultaneously.
Either he really really has an impulse control problem, or someone in the family is playing a game here.

Are you saying there was no tug?

I think participating in sports is a great distraction during rough times and helps to develop focus. And there are good lessons to be learned, like how to be a teammate and how to win and lose with dignity. But sports is certainly not a cure all.

I'm not arguing with you, just adding my thoughts.

 

[Pat the Pats Fan]

no, just no conviction due to police issues. I'll wait before convicting Patrick

Ha, I'll bet you've been very successful in escaping being selected for jury duty..........

Of what? At this point they just record what someone said. I believe these days police have little if any latitude to dismiss allegations of domestic assault. If she said he did it they can’t ignore her. So your “pretty solid sources” are nothing more than just he said, she said.

skip the tar and feathers and just get out the rope, eh?

True. And people should take a wait and see approach.

But, in passing, I agree with the « little if any latitude » strategy because for years people were getting beaten and not enough was being done / not enough were being believed…. It’s sad that some people live in dangerous situations. I wish they didn’t need to go through that.

Agree entirely, on both points. It’s a tough challenge because no strategy is always good. Restraining orders for example, necessary but too often ineffective or even inflammatory. And how often is the victim passively-aggressively triggering the perpetrator? But that dynamic is too close to victim blaming to be acceptable topic for discussion. Codependency is nasty, emotional competency gets overwhelmed too often. It’s really nasty. And our society hasn’t done well at figuring out how to have police handle emotional disturbances in general, let alone in domestic situations. Definitely sad. And a total mess.

also sad for a guy to tweet “best day of my life” and hours later be facing charges of domestic violence. Things obviously went off the rails big time somehow. Will be interesting to see how it unfolds. But please let’s all wait and see, instead of jumping to assume whatever we choose to project.

I'm still amazed that NH's "fighting words doctrine" law stays on the books. It give an attacker a legal right if the words used "against them" were considered by a jury of their peers to be a reasonable provocation. I can imagine how the passive aggressive stuff gets played out in court testimony.

 

[captain stone]

At least he didn't push Hernandez down into 3rd place for most murders committed by a former Patriot

Pardon my ignorance (or forgetfulness), but... Who's in 2nd place?

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Hernandez

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

Who is first place?

 

[DropKickFlutie]

I am super curious.
Patrick Chung is innocent til proven guilty.
Let's wait for more evidence and leaks.

Not trying to defend anybody. Just reminding us that

1. That tweet was a day before today's news.
2. I think Chung was cleared of the NH incident. Someone correct me if I remember wrong but I thought he wasn't even in NH, and people he knew were using his property while he was out of state. I'm pretty sure he was cleared of all that NH stuff. If we're going to bring up items people were cleared of, then there should be a thousand Bob Kraft jokes on the forum.
3. This current news, again let's wait and hear. No more of this andyjohnson crap insinuating Malcolm Butler did drugs before the Eagles Superbowl, during the Superbowl thread with none of us knowing anything factual.

I just tell the judge I'd be perfect for jury duty because I can spot a guilty man first sight.
