re: Trevor Bauer, on leave amid assault probe, was subject of previous protection order

quote:

He didn't say "I'm going to kill you". He's trying to be funny, in an unfunny way, in saying this person annoys him so much that she makes him want to kill her. People talk to each other that way every single day.

I mean whether it’s a crime or not may be specific to the jurisdiction in which this occurred, but whether it was a serious threat (criminal or not) context is important. And maybe there is more context to show otherwise, but that seemed a lot different than “I’ll kill you if you tell anybody I’m a big fan of Real Housewives lol.” In fact, the whole “I’ll don’t want to go to jail for murder” is a lot further in and of itself, but especially for something like merely seeing that person again. That sure doesn’t come off as joking to me, and if it is, it’s a lot more twisted than any joking I’ve seen.

Speaking of context, you don't seem to understand the context of "joking" that I'm talking about. Not all jokes are meant to be funny. That's why I said "in an unfunny way". Perhaps the word "sarcasm" means something to you. It's something that's said in an often irritated manner, with words that are often unpleasant and unnecessary, but not meant literally. This is Bauer's entire shtick. It goes right along with his everyday personality. That's why I don't like him. But to say it was criminal? If you try to litigate the meaning of every sentence like that, that is uttered by someone, we'll all be in big trouble.

Don't sit there and try to tell me you've never said something in your life along the lines of "if you try something like that again, I might have to kill you". We've all said things like that. Now, what he said was framed in a way that was meant to offend, and not to be taken as funny, but I nevertheless don't see how one can turn that into a criminal threat. It just sounds like overly exaggerated sarcasm. An actual threat is typically much more direct and doesn't include qualifiers. So it would be pretty hard to prove anything from it, in my opinion.

But, by all means, good luck to you in your quest to determine the intent of every statement.

Funny how batshit people unerringly find one another. You don't often see a well adjusted person together with a nutcase.
