Do you know what case? I do not doubt you, but I'd like to read a ruling. Especially if it was from a white judge.

No. It's just using a common feature of two things to make a comparison. I made the analogy that catching someone raping your daughter and inciting you to kill, is LIKE, not EQUAL to, someone calling you N***** (if you're black) and inciting you to throw a punch. Common feature of this analogy being a shocking event that drives someone to act in a way they would not normally.

Better not. NCAA may take notice.

What are you even talking about? I'm not equating the two acts. I'm comparing the idea of being driven to an action. Give me an intelligent breakdown of why the analogy does not work.

There are "fighting words," that imply your consent to rumble. Therefore there is no battery, which is contact without consent.
If you drop the n word on a black guy you will find many judges say you got the fight you were looking for. You have to remember if guys agree to fight that is not a crime. If someone issues you an invitation to fight you can refuse, but most of the time you agree and it is on. Opinions will vary. 10 lawyers will probably split 5-5 on this one.

So? He hasn't done anything wrong and shouldn't be criticized at all
Yea he did. He recorded his racist buddy getting his arse kicked and then turned it over to the police. That is a Bitch MOVE if I ever saw one. I don't hang out with wimps though. Maybe this is normal behavior amongst your friends

Remember that movie "A Time To Kill"?
You know, the movie where Samuel L. Jackson was acquitted of killing some Mittippi Klan Klowns that called his way underage daughter the N word over and over again.

Yep, that's exactly why I used that analogy. It's just what popped into my head and couldn't think of a better example. I've been awake for like 35 straight hours studying for finals lol

I hope all of your finals are multiple choice.
Because that analogy you gave would not fare well in the essay portion.

Sometimes it's best to step away from the keyboard. Or walk away. Just be sure to look over your shoulder so you see the sucker punch coming.

There seems to be a lot of confusion over the legal, versus the ethical issues here. That was also the case with fan reaction to Shadys.
I'll leave to others the ethical niceties of 2:00 am bar brawls after words intended to provoke violence. There are plenty here who seem to claim expertise on the acceptable punches to be thrown, when post pugilistic celebration becomes unseemly, etc.i don't know much about the etiquette of such things.
However, the legal issues are pretty clear.
This will never be more than a misdemeanor. If the alleged victim is unwilling to cooperate, the DA won't be able to successfully prosecute even if he wants to do so. And probation is likely to include new restrictions.
