Without even knowing the law, I'm more than willing to bet he doesn't get arrested for this. Any takers?
I've read a lot of comments and articles but I haven't heard anyone say he might get arrested...where did you hear that? edit: I see you are responding to Lurker. I guess you guys can lay some money on it.
I'm not predicting that Darko will be arrested. I'm just pointing out that when you make specific violent threats against other people you're not necessarily on the right side of the law. Actually, it's Dumars who should be arrested for squandering a #2 pick on someone so unworthy.
If your team wins the NBA title within 7 years of the draft pick you are exonerated from all charges with regards to squandering a draft pick, however you may still incur the perpetual wrath of your fans and the ridicule of your opponents fans and the media for an indefinite period of time.
I don't know about you guys, but I think it is time to trade this guy to some Western team. Maybe Minnesota or Memphis. It just doesn't look like it is working out in Detroit.
I'm not licensed to practice law either but I can tell you guys the definition of an assault. I'll give you the tort definition as well as I can remember... Assault is an act by the defendant creating a REASONABLE APPREHENSION in plaintiff of IMMEDIATE harmful or offensive contact (You need intent and causation). In criminal, it also can be the intent to commit a battery (but it has to fail or it is a battery. (Battery is an actual touching). Lastly...Apprehension does not equal fear. OH...and WORDS ALONE are not sufficient. So I'll leave it to you to apply it to Darko's actions...
D4E, you win the thread. "But does he vant to sex Mutombo? " Besides those Italian refs might have money on the game.
I think you mean Smiley, as in Smiley Face. You know, back in the day, when there were no graphics, we made Smileys out of ASCII characters: =) (Smiling) ;] (Winking) :] (Neutral Expression) :/ (Partial half smile) :'( (Crying) :-) (Smiley with nose) Here is a little information for you about the origin of the smiley face: If you were wondering about how the popularity of the smiley face has grown, well here you go: Smiley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Well, I hope this has helped.
It's his style man. Kind of like a signature that a lot of people have here. I might be wrong though, so Buddah should explain.
