True, I have a 5 year old nephew who slapped me once. I wasn't having that so I slapped the shit out of him. DA couldn't press charges because of self defense. You know your shit.

CBSSports just tweeted that someone else saw the video and reported that he did not slap the woman. Glad this isn't our problem.

This story has more twists than a Christopher Nolan movie. Or an old fashion film noir for those of you that like the classics. Or a glazed twist donut for those of you who like donuts, which should be all of you, mmhmmm donuts...

Bottom line is that if a woman strikes you then you walk away, you don't hit back. There's no way he was hurt by her and no need for him to defend himself by striking back. Walk away.

Classic comment from 11W:

"treat women with respect is one of the few things you DONT do as a Buckeye (check out the banners and flyers in the OSU locker rooms and facilities)."

A little freudian slip?

The unbiased reporting stopped right after her report when they tossed to Sports Director, Jerod Smalley, who had a hilariously homer point of view setting up his next piece

 

No coach at Big 10 media day in Chicago garnered more attention or curiosity than Urban Meyer.  2nd place was not even close, and that’s for two reasons: “A” Ohio State is a heavy favorite to win the Big 10 this season and “B” four player discipline incidents over the past week which have grabbed national headlines.

 

Yes, Jerod, the buckeyes "won" the attention award as "2nd place was not even close!"  Hear that Bucknuts?  It was a blowout!  While the rest of the programs didn't realize there was a competition for attention, your El Camino was the pace car!  Get out the urine bucket and hand sanitizer, because it's time to celebrate with a head dunk!

He follows that by claiming the reason for all the attention was because: " 'A' Ohio State is a heavy favorite to win the Big 10 this season and “B” four player discipline incidents..."  

Uh, Jerod I think that's A - because of the four player discipline incidents, B - those same said incidents, C - Florida player discipline incidents, D - back to OSU incidents, E - Aaron Hernandez,  F - - questions about recent buckstache incidents...

Logic, if there is nothing to see on the video why would there be any reason to be concerned over it being seen? You only hide the truth if there is something to hide. Let's just see the video and end this.

I heard that the woman hit Hyde so hard that he went into an immediate fugue state. His delusion-fueled attempt at self defense took the form of a swing that was so stronge it bent the space-time continuum. His punch ultimately landing in the Ford's Theater in 1865, crashing through the back of then Pres. Lincoln's head.

Basically, Hyde assassinated arguably our greatest president and let another man hang for it. That's good for at least a 2 game suspension.

  • Authorities saw video
  • Authorities declare no crime and drop charges
  • Media person sees video also and says there are crimes
  • Authorities upset

Well yeah, I can imagine why they'd be upset. Sure seems like they got caught not telling the whole story

The authorities never delcared no crime and dropped charges.  Only the Yahoo reporter speculated that charges would be dropped (or never brought) and that Yahoo reporter was referenced by all the other main media outlets.  The authorities are upset because someone leaked the video they had not finished investigating.  The authorities, even when they are beyond reproach, always want to make sure the correct and most accurate story is reported and they can only do that if they take their time reviewing the evidence.

Police don't actually "press" or "drop" charges.  Police take the reports of what happened, gather all the evidence they can find and then bring their findings to a prosecutorial agency.  It's the prosecutorial agency that decides whether to charge a person with committing a crime.

Of course, the decision of the prosecutors is only as good as the evidence they are presented with by the police.
