OT: I fear for this country

[psuro]

He did but you can't grab someone else's property and destroy it - the kid was a dope but he called his brother a name but didn't threaten him so you can't do what he did - just dumb for someone trying to build a brand like he seems to be doing.

Remember when Mike Tyson punched the kid in the face after the kid threw a bottle at him? The kid wanted to settle for $450K outside of court....and Tyson refused. Because it was a shake down. Charges were not filed, because the DA realized what it was......any reasonable prosecutor here will do the same thing. Kelce did all the could to distance himself from the kid, but the kid kept following him and making statements. Maybe to try to entice Kelce into am atercation and then a financial agreement.

I have no idea who was "trying to build a brand" here - Kelce or the kid.

It's frightening we have to explain this to a "supposed" college graduate.

Well, WE ARE! … TALKING PSU!

Throwing a bottle at someone is different than calling somone or a family memeber a name - not defending the jerk who did it but you have to know when to just keep on walking - more surprised he didn't have security with him who could take the wrap for pounding the kid.

If I followed you around and made disparaging comments to you about your family, how long are you going to tolerate it?

Throwing a bottle or hurling insults or being a general jackwad is immaterial. What is material is that just because these people are celebrities, does NOT mean they can be treated as targets. And that is what this kid did, as well as the kid who instigated something with Tyson, and there are a host of others.

I will agree with you on the security thing. I am guessing he never thought he would need it.

My wife said there is a video out there from a different angle that she saw. After the kid yelled at Kelce and Kelce was walking away, he appeared to stop and bend down to pick something up and it appeared that the kid walked into him. I’m assuming the kid was still jabbering and that’s when Kelce grabbed the phone and spiked it. As I said before, I don’t feel bad for the kid. Use some common sense.

I know nice reasonable people who believe the moon landings were faked. I waste a fair amount of time watching Bravo reality shows and there’s this educated person, a law school graduate, who believes that pandas are fake and what we see are people dressed in panda costumes. F me.

If moms was with me, about 10’. If moms was out and about with her sons, about 2’. 1 is scrawny and super mean, 2 is freaking huge. They love their mom like no other.

So what some of you are saying is that if I call one of your family members a name, you would have the legal right to destroy my personal property?

Sure.

 

[Nittering Nabob]

Kelce Roid Rage is a serious issue.

While I’m venting about his lack of self control in public, might I add the following ….

The educated populous is getting tired of:

1) The Kelce brothers and their gimmickry, and

2) Taylor Swift (I’m starting to think she’s a self absorbed closet Lez .. pardon my digression), and

3) the entirety of the Kansas City Chiefs (Reid, Mahoney, Kelce, Hunt family) and anything associated with them ….State Farm.

personal property?? um under what conditions/circumstances is the property involved in your "hypothetical"

1) you live across the street and are yelling at me and calling me names are you suggesting I would go and destroy your lawmower as you are mowing the lawn? um maybe but not likely... as the "property" has nothing to do with the altercation ....you might get punched in the face though

a)if you read the music thread on here psuro brought up a scenario where a guy would blare music at 230 in morning so another guy smashes his speaker

See the difference


The phone was an instrument in the altercation as the kid was most likely trying to film Kelce and get whatever evidence-reaction tick tock/youtube cred he was looking for

this comes to mind



would have been classic if kelce dropped some hundreds on the spot

To sum: those who haven't succeeded are getting sick of those who have. Interesting take.

Who hates Taylor Swift? She's a harmless pop icon. Go watch her eras tour video on disney+, it's pretty incredible.

My pet peeve is those that can't stick with one "handle" on the site, and for whatever reason come back under a new name to pretend they are a new person.

Mine would be the ones who get banned and then come back. Then I spend too much time trying to figure out who the fool was before. But I get what your saying too.

I still have educated friends convinced the horrible fires in Hawaii a while back were caused by space lasers to drive out lower class people so rich people could rebuild big homes near Oprah's home.

Where I grew up, we’d say a quarter of eleven. First week of college I told my roommate that I’d meet him at a quarter of six for supper. He paused, looked confused and asked why I wanted to eat supper at 1:30.

That quarter till, quarter of thing may be a Pennsylvania vernacular thing. I used to say it and got weird looks outside of Pennsylvania. If you parse the words, it actually makes no sense at all but I grew up with it.

Yup. Because it works. The internet is a source of a poop-ton of information that most folks are ill-equipped to process ... you have folks who are unsuccessful, emotionally fragile, envious, desirous to explain away their lot in life, etc., combined with a natural inclination to have a "villain" and you end up with unhealthy heaping helpings of two different, but related manifestations ... the Victim mentality and the Conspiracy mentality. They eat away at the sanity of all political/social/economic perspectives.

Did it work? If someone told me that lasers from the sky were hitting College Ave so that people could get apartments near Jennifer Aniston… I would have gobbled one up!
