Rashee Rice [arrested and now out on bail]

[DaFace]

The other thread is a dumpster fire. I'm sure this will become one as well, but might as well start with a clean slate. I'll at least try to keep the OP updated with any notable news. Feel free to PM me if I miss anything good.

Arrest warrant and potential charges:

Spoiler!

BREAKING: An arrest warrant has been issued for Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice in connection to his involvement in a multi-vehicle crash on U.S. 75 in Dallas in late March, sources tell WFAA. https://t.co/XL3F7oCuW1

Rice, 23, now faces eight charges in the case -- six counts of collision involving bodily injury, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury and one count of aggravated assault, according to the arrest warrant. All of the charges are felonies.

Collision involving injury carries a penalty of imprisonment in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for not more than five years or confinement in the county jail for not more than one year, a fine fine not to exceed $5,000 or both. Collision involving serious bodily injury -- a third-degree felony -- carries a punishment of imprisonment in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice of not more than 10 years or less than 2 years. Aggravated assault -- a second-degree felony -- is punishable by two to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.

Analysis from a defense attorney:

TL;DR, his concern was at a 2, and now it's a 4 (out of 10). Still probably not a huge deal, but there are some concerning possibilities. Overall, though, he thinks it all gets pled down to misdemeanors, he misses a couple of games, and he writes some massive checks to those he injured.

Turned himself in and now out on bail:

People that make false claims in an attempt to smear and refuse to support them deserve absolutely no respect whatsoever (Katipan).

I've clearly been talking about NFL fans this entire time. You are the one who brought up the average American who doesn't know any Chiefs outside of Mahomes and Kelce.

Those people weren't the ones outraged over the Rice incident, because if you don't give a shit about the NFL, then that story meant basically nothing to you. Nobody cares about a car wreck with minors injuries, even if it's on video. This was a story because it was the Chiefs and a prominent player, which would lead to some sort of punishment from the NFL/Chiefs.

Truthfully, I don’t think anyone is outraged over the Rice incident but whatever. I think most people thought “Damn, that’s shitty” when they saw the video and went about their day.

You’re welcome, Virus.

So after all this time you are now saying that people saw the video and didn't give a shit?



You're....special.

This is what we call hyperbole.

There’s a difference between thinking something was shitty and wanting the party responsible to be held accountable and being outraged.

I know you’re one of those Gen Z dweebs who likes to make everything sound more dire than it actually is but I truly don’t believe there was any outrage over the Rice incident.. and I don’t believe I’ve ever said there was. You said that.

[staylor26]

He's been arguing this entire time that the outrage is because of video, and now he's saying there was no outage, even with the video.

You can't make this ****ing shit up. This is what happens when you're just playing contrarian and don't actually have an argument.

Then why haven't you been arguing this from the beginning?

It's because you're completely and utterly full of shit. This is just a very ridiculous example of moving the goalposts entirely.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

The only one that gives a **** about Rashee Rice getting punished are opposing NFL fans. Remember how when a complete shit team like the Browns scooped up Hunt, iy was a "great signing!" "Classy move!" " redemption chance!" But yet the same guy being removed from a record breaking Chiefs offense was a "thug" "lowlife" "criminal" "Chiefs should be ashamed"

During the argument, Sutton picked up the woman and slammed her into a wall, then bit her on the neck, leaving a quarter-sized abrasion that bled, the affidavit states. Sutton then grabbed the woman by the face and neck and choked her, causing her to briefly lose consciousness, according to the affidavit.

The altercation continued into the living room of the home, where Sutton held down the woman by her hair and struck her twice with his fist, causing a knot to form on the woman’s forehead, the affidavit states.

Sutton left the home before deputies arrived, and repeated attempts to reach him by phone at the time were unsuccessful, according to previously released information

Here’s a snippet of the Sutton incident, for the record.

As it stands this dude was cut by the Lions and picked up shortly thereafter by the Steelers. With video evidence of this, this dude would never play another snap in the NFL.

Tell me how video doesn’t play a role in these things?

The defense rests.

Lol @ “repeated attempts to reach him by phone were unsuccessful”

“Hey, this is Sheriff Alcott with the.. uh.. Hillsborough County Pol- that’s not important. Uhhh.. we wanted to see if you’d swing by the station ASAP. Uh, don’t worry about that thing last night. This has nothing to do with that.

Alright, welp. Hope to hear from ya soon!”

I already did. The Kamara example totally disproves your argument, which is why you completely avoided my last couple of posts about it.

There's an actual victim in the Kamara video. The entire point of video making things worse is that you see the victim being victimized and it triggers something in you. No reasonable/average person is more outraged at the Rice video than the Kamara one, because you don't even see somebody being victimized in it.

And I don't know what point you think you're making or countering about Sutton, but yes, domestic violence being caught on tape makes things MUCH worse. I haven't argued otherwise. The point is that a car wreck isn't remotely comparable, video or no video.
