[LOCKED] Infamous Joe Mixon tape finally released

Submitted by I Like Burgers on

The infamous tape of Joe Mixon punching a woman in 2014 has finally been released to the public.

Oklahoma's president, AD, and Stoops all saw this tape and felt a 1-year suspension was fine.

MOD EDIT - Locking and leaving. The comments, well, I'll put it this way: we're doing this for the board's sanity. - LSA

Stuff like this sort of makes you want to go back a few years where her dad, brothers, some family friends could go pay a visit to Joe and handle this outside of court.

I don't see how that doesn't warrant getting kicked out of the University.

That punch could have killed her. Then he just walks away. Jesus. I hope he doesn't get a chance to play football ever again.

She pushed him (assault) and then hit him (assault) with her right.

He then responded with overwhelming force with predictable results.

Mixon plead guilty, paid $1,200 fine, but did not go to jail, as part of that guilty plea deal.

He has a criminal record now and this is going to follow him around for the rest of his life. Good luck getting a decent job anywhere after decking a girl.

As for girls pushing and hitting guys in anger and then expecting a chivalrous response, those days appear to be over.

She got up, approached him as he was moving away, pushed him and hit him.  If it were a male you would all say he deserved to get punched.  Women need to stop thinking they can get away with that crap.

If he slapped her with the same force she slapped him and she knocked him out cold with a led pipe we would all be praising her. Its a strange world and trying to make sense of this is beyond difficult. Damn her for slapping him and bringing violence to the situation, eff him for taking it to a level that was life threatening, and double eff all of us for creating such a violent society.

The soap box is now empty for the next gentleman.

I'm probablly going to get sent to Bolivia for this, and maybe I rightfully should. What Mixon did is inexcusable and he deserves to get punished, and punished hard. Normal rational people do not punch women like this. That being said, I don't think however he, nor should the OU athletic department get Ray Riced over this.

1.) The woman got knocked out bad, however if you watched, Mixon tried to initially walk away. I don't know if it is true or not, but Mixon has said multiple times both in court and in official statements that the woman at this moment said something racist (considering it is Oklahoma, it wouldn't be that surprising). The woman also goes back towards him. Mixon then went on the offensive to get away from her by fake lunging at her, likely to try to scare her or intimadate her to back down. Rather than sensing a pissed off/threatened person, the woman then initiates the violence by striking him. Mixon then responded back by knocking her out. It could have been a panicy/booze filled reaction and/or a shit human being move. 

2.) As I said, Mixon should be punished for it, and he has. This will stay with him for the rest of his life, effecting job employment status, this is going to cost him milions in NFL draft money, and he had to sit out an entire season (OU suspended him). OU and Bob Stoops is punished by missing out on a season of a five star player. Stoops usually gives players 1 strike, and after that they are done. Mixon has no record of criminal history and reports say he is even viewed as a leader in the lockerroom.

In no way do I mean to come off as defending his actions, but I think this is a bit different than Ray Rice.

Regarding #1, you refer to it in hindsight as a "fake lunge," but how was she supposed to know that in that moment? Her reaction was instigated by his lunge at her. With the disparity in size, strength, etc., I'd say her slapping him in defense of a lunge (and who knows what follows) is not beyond reasonable. I'm not sure if it's fair to call it a fake lunge in retrospect and in the comfort of being fully removed from the situation.

I think that that's a fair point. I think these are just two really dumb kids who both made mistakes. Both kids here were drinking, and imature (Mixon was a true freshman when this happended). I think both thought they were in the right, but immaturity and alcohol can be a lethal combination and it caoused these two people to not think logically (granted Mixon and/or the girl could just simply be shit human beings)

I don't know that I agree with you, but I don't think your comment is Bolivia material or anything like that.

I do rankle a bit at the stereotypical conceit that states like Oklahoma are largely racist and less enlightened. Kind of a prejudicial sentiment in itself. She may well have said something racist and may be one, but the combination of anger and alcohol can prompt that sort of speech just as much in Ann Arbor or Los Angeles as in Norman.

The force he responded with was very clearly excessive. That being said, is a man suppose to stand there and be assaulted?  

HYPOTHETICAL:

What if she had pulled a knife on him?  Would the punch then be appropriate?

Yes.
It can't be argued that he was in danger. It wasn't a situation where he couldn't "escape" and had to "defend himself".
He could have walked away. He could have pushed her off him and left. He could have handled it in a million ways that were mature and within the confines of the law and didn't end up with a girl getting knocked out cold by an elite athlete.
Introducing a weapon obviously changes the calculus. As it stands, his fists and his strength are weapons in their own right.

But she didn't pull a knife on him. Don't use a hypothetical situation to try and soften such a despicable act. No, a man is not supposed to stand there and be assaulted. He's supposed to keep his hands to himself and walk away. Mixon had no problem walking out the door after he jacked that woman in the face. A man walks away *before* he hits a woman. Joe Mixon is not a man. He's a coward.

So you were so curious about the general mgoblog consensus regarding what to do when a knife is pulled on you that you just couldn't help but bring it up to "generate discussion?" Get out of here.

You might not have been trying to defend Joe Mixon but that's exactly what you did. There's no reason to bring up some completely hypothetical situation.

Serious question for any mgolawyers out there. If Amelia was a man, what would recourse would either have? We saw this with the former fsu, current fau signee. White female instigates, black male athlete retaliates. Person that retaliates is punished. In these instances there seems to be a civil remedy for the instigating victim. From a legal standpoint, what bearing does gender have in these situations? I'm not condoning Mixon's actions. They were excessive. I am asking what role gender plays into the judicial outcome?
The Colorado incident comes to mind as a recent male on male fight. The victim was arrested for drug possession afterwards. Not apples to apples, but it is something that came to mind.

Obviously he knew her/the group of people, as he followed them in the establishment.

She was obviously upset about something, and he looked upset walking in as well. 

She must have said some pretty nasty stuff (assume racist), slapped him, and pushed him. Also lunged at him.

He lunges at her in hopes of scaring her straight. That didn't work, and she looked ready to hit him again. 

RIGHT HERE: WALK OUT THE DOOR!

Simple as that! WALK OUT THE DOOR!

If she follows him, threatens him, etc, then call 911 and continue to keep a distance between you and her. 

Simple solution.

I don't care I was downvoted, but I'd love to hear why this is such a bad option for a man in that situation:

Walk away. Leave the building. Call 911. Tell them there is a drunk racist lady being physically aggressive towards him and he feels he is in a dangerous situation.

Walk away until the police show up. Witnesses and video show she was the aggressor, she attacked him, and he remained calm. 

She gets sentenced and he continues on his path to the NFL. 

What am I missing? 

The only reasonable situation to knock her out cold is if she had a visible weapon and was going to use it on him. Otherwise, let the authorities sort this mess out.

It's very strange that cops can kill unarmed persons who pose zero threat with no punishment, but regular citizens can't defend themselves from someone attacking them verbally and physically because he has a penis and lifts weights. Men do not have infinite patience and women should be held accountable as men are. She's an adult who chose to attack someone else. But, let's ignore that because she's physically weaker.
