Strawman

Is that being realistic? I try putting myself in the same situation, had a few beers, girl going off on me slapping and scratching, I'd probably try to hold her from being able to hit me till she calmed down. Now if she continued to struggle, you could very easily see accidental bruises on her arms, but that would only be from trying to keep her from injuring me. But I can't see him running from the room, apparently with his buddies around, and hiding there till the police arrive. Sent from my iPad using CarolinaHuddle

Found this. North Carolina recognizes three types of misdemeanor assault and battery crimes: assault and battery, which involves physically injuring someone else assault, which is the attempt to commit an assault and battery, or a show of force indicating that an assault and battery is imminent, and affray, a fight between two or more people in a public place, likely to frighten others. (N.C. Gen. Stat. Ann. §§ 14-32 and 14-33.) Sent from my iPad using CarolinaHuddle

I had not heard that, but I hope they weren't caused by him. Sent from my iPad using CarolinaHuddle

I'm going on what I've been told by a person who was in that situation. Hardy was never charged with battery, correct? Sent from my iPad using CarolinaHuddle

Not at all what I said, I pointed out that common is a relative term depending upon past personal experience. Sent from my iPad using CarolinaHuddle

Where is the proof of violence? You do understand proof right? As I said earlier, assault is the THREAT of violence. I'm simply reserving judgement. Sent from my iPad using CarolinaHuddle

Ask Bogart his opinion of common, or uncommon. Sent from my iPad using CarolinaHuddle

Funny there are posters who are wanting to pick up or trade for Blackmon who is a PROVEN substance abuser, and others wanting to cut Hardy for ALLEGED domestic violence. All I'm saying is don't rush to judgement until the facts are known. Sent from my iPad using CarolinaHuddle

Good for you. I'm 43 and I do. What does that prove exactly? Sent from my iPad using CarolinaHuddle

Assault is the threat of physical violence, with the apparent ability to do harm. Battery is if actual physical contact/harm is done. Obviously GH has the ability to harm, so if he was threatening the female, it's simple assault. So if you tell your wife, girlfriend, or significant other that you are going to beat their ass, whether you mean it or not you are guilty of assault. Sent from my iPad using CarolinaHuddle

I've seen it happen with a buddy and his wife. They were screaming at each other in the yard, (obviously not sterling behavior) neighbors called the cops, and he spent the night in jail. This is the best possible scenario, of course it gets worse from there. I'm just pointing out, it might not be as bad as others are saying. I hope for his sake that's all it was.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see this as a big deal. You can get charged with domestic violence quite easily nowadays. What if the two were fighting (arguing) in public, and someone called the cops? Once they are called, someone has to go to jail. I know I could've been charged quite a few times myself, it's a tactic the cops use to defuse a situation. We have zero information as to what was actually going on, yet y'all are assuming the worst. I remember being that age, I remember spending a night in jail, (not for DV) but I grew up. I think GH will too. I'm not speculating, but I will give him the benefit of the doubt, until more information becomes available. Sent from my iPad using CarolinaHuddle

I think Fiametta is with the Bears.
