There's no good reason for an paraplegic old lady to be in such a situation to begin with. Or should I have my 85 year old senile grandfather who just got a heart valve replaced working for the Secret Service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incognito_man Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 A Bennett brother doing something mindless that serves himself? Unthinkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signed, a Dolphins fan who is also wondering why a wheelchair-bound elderly woman was in that position and why it took 14 months for any charges to be filed. Agreed. Chargers fan here and I am wondering why the hell a wheelchair-bound woman is working security for the biggest game/event of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packerraymond Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 2 minutes ago, cddolphin said: The intent matters, for most crimes. This one would be no different. That's why the charge is simply harming an elderly person and not anything to do with assault. He was told he couldn't go on the field at that point, pushed past people to get on the field. He broke an order and is liable for anything that happened as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it's true, but Bennett needs to be held accountable for what he did, as does the security company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has nothing to do with my being an Eagles fan. I didn't like the trade or his acquisition to begin with. If we can have the trade reversed than I'd welcome that, but this whole situation is flat out preposterous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't mean he did it purposefully, but I do think he didn't give a fudge about anyone around him and just blasted his way through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paraven Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 1 minute ago, Danger said: The fact that there was a 66 year old paraplegic working security in an event where something like this is inevitably going to happen is ludicrous. Additionally, while I don't know this for sure, I have my doubts that it was direct confrontation, but rather Bennett was simply caught up in the moment and paid no mind to the individual and shoved them relatively unknowingly. His brother just won the Super Bowl, wouldn't you be excited and sort of not paying attention to anything else? I blame the staff at NRG stadium for allowing an unfit worker to be hired into a dangerous situation. Bennett isn't a good person, but this whole case is asinine. nah man, you are responsible for your own actions, this isnt anyone elses fault but his. whether it warrants such a serious punishment will be up to the justice system. but he has no one to blame but himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fair. If Bennett has to pay for any medical and legal costs I could see that being a fit punishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's add another one: "intentionally" or "through careless actions". Throw one of those in there and my answer is Yes he should be charged. They put felony charges on him. I would assume they have some sort of “intent” in on this. It’s says “knowingly” in the charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They put this woman at a direct access point to the field, directly in harms way, their intent doesn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
