Hopefully a bonus. If we have learned anything, context matters 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have learned anything, context matters Yeah I don’t think he should be punished, but there was certainly more potential for bodily harm, although he was in the wrong for being on the field. Wagner is not a security guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad he doesn't appear to be seriously injured. I'm sure everyone involved is. I don't suppose you're also in favor of not penalizing drunk drivers if they're lucky enough to avoid hurting anyone whilst driving drunk?

I think I’ve said three times in this thread: fine Adams, send that dude enough money to cover medical costs, any equipment damage, and a little extra as an “oops, I’m sorry”. Then everybody can move on. If in the future Adams establishes a track record of lightly shoving cameramen while running off the field, we can escalate the punishment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're suggesting that punishment should be dependent on results, not possibility of range of results. Which is (thankfully) not how our country is set up to operate.

Malfatron Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 https://www.criminaldefenselawyer.com/resources/i-shoved-someone-and-was-charged-with-assult.htm It's usually not a defense to the crime of assault that you did not intend to injure the victim. Although assault laws vary from state to state, in most cases if you intentionally (rather than accidentally) shoved the victim, you can be convicted of assault, whether you intended to injure the victim or not. In other words, it's the intent to shove, regardless of the intent to cause the resulting injury, that justifies a charge of assault.
