I assume JR Smith will be arrested and charged with this assault? Or is there a law in that state that protects him for what he did?

One of these mother****ing white boys didn't know where he was going and broke my ****ing window in my truck."

"I chased him down and whooped his ass," Smith said.

Hopefully open conversations that don’t result in burning down buildings. Like grown ups are supposed to do.

How can you say that? There will always be a place in my heart for murder hornets. They were never even given a fair chance. Just starting to come into their own and these damn riots took them from me, took them from you, from us all. I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore.

I don’t have twitter and live vicariously through you guys’ twitter. Not sure if I used that fancy word right.

I'm tired of reading the same blatant hate USA posts by a few of the members here. I'm not asking they get banned (unless they break a BO rule or expectation)

However, how about we refrain from responding to their posts from this point on? How about we don't give them the attention they are seeking as they try to stir the pot?
I believe in 1st A freedom of speech but these guys just are all about trying to spread hatred towards USA and seem to take enjoyment when USA struggles.

Sure Trump is an egotistical idiot with brutal social skills and a filthy mouth but some of these members seem to be all about stirring the pot and enjoying when the USA has difficult times

My call is for us to stop responding to them OR better yet....

BLOCK/IGNORE them so that you don't see their pathetic posts again.

If I can get 45 members here to block the following four members listed below by June 14th (Flag Day) and reply to this post that they blocked them, I'll do a lottery involving all who confirmed that they blocked them. The prize will be Carlton Fisk rookies from 1972 Topps. TEN members will receive a Fisk rookie from me. Might not be psa 10 worthy but it's still a rc of a hall of famer for free.

Dealing with Troublesome Users
Can I block posts, emails and messages from specific users?

If there are particular members that bother you and you do not want to see their posts or receive Private Messages and Emails from them, then you can add these members to your 'Ignore List'. There are several ways to do this:

Through your User Control Panel: User CP, Settings & Options, Edit Ignore List. Then, type their name into the empty text box and click 'Okay'.

Everyone has the right to be heard unless blowout feels they violated their rules. If you don’t like it just block them. But then you miss out on the full discussion. One of the things that makes America great is free speech right? One of the best things about being a human is being able to have your own opinions too.

You forgot petty, low IQ, lying, cheating, dividing, lacks character, lacks integrity, Russian asset, misogynistic, corrupt, two-faced, cowardly, draft-dodging, lacks leadership, lacks empathy, racist, and so much more...but yet, keep voting for him....

If anyone chooses to block me, stay safe, stay healthy, and be well.

Typical Trump characteristic.

I always wondered what type of delicate fragility it would take to block someone on a forum. Or in life.

My curiosity has been satiated.

I agree. Everyone has the right to simply log off if they don't like what they're reading.

If anyone is purposely trolling for the sake of trolling, then it's easy to identify and move on.

Astros19 · 06-01-2020, 10:02 AM

I don't block them I just quit responding to their hateful nonsense. I'm sure they think they've won some kind of internet message board battle when I don't reply, but I'm OK with that knowing I made some goofball's day.
Hell, reading their drivel is some of the best humor I get all day.

For the first (maybe2nd) time, I wholeheartedly agree.

And hateful it is.

white boys?

why does he have to refer to the delinquent as a white boy?

no way police going to touch this one (but they should)

Unless the guy was caught on camera breaking Smiths window, I would bet Smith gets sued for assault. Probably going to cost him money for pain and suffering.

Even with the video of his vehicle getting damaged, wouldn’t JR still be on the hook for assault? I thought property damage wasn’t a reason to hurt someone?

preakness · 06-01-2020, 10:32 AM

CNBC reporter to rioter, "Why are you protesting? Why did you smash that store window?"

Thug "Because I'm fighting for higher minimum wage and free college!"

The last 96 hours has been nothing but an opportunity to destroy stuff, vandalize, and steal and justify it because you're pissed about something

Maybe I can empathize with someone who is showing anger and frustration over a cop that effed up but since when is this country about setting fires/stealing/tagging/destroying over things lawmakers decide (wages, free schooling)?

Another rant by me --- Why do so many of the media feel violated by police when they feel the results of the tear gas? It's like some of the media feel like they should be wearing an invisible cloak where they get front row seats on this real action and they shouldn't be impacted by the tear gas, the pushing, the rubber bullets. Media, this is REAL. This isn't a video game.
Too many of these media over the past 96 hours feel waaaay too entitled just because they have a media ID. If the officers have been asking over and over to move back or off to the side, then listen to the officers.

Sidenote: the kid did need the snot kicked out of him . There should be consequences for what smith did but the thug deserved it

However, double standard for
1) calling him "white boy" so easily and not being called out for it
2) beating up a kid for property damage and receiving consequences
3) having the ego of putting video out there and admitted it knowing he's untouchable
