Well...no shocker, but Chase was arrested for 2nd deg. battery

Why are we assuming the girl was groped? Have they never told a fib to get the attention of a guy, or to try to get even with one? Even if she was groped, you guys make it sound like he had his hand down her pants with her hands tied up...what if he walked by and brushed up against her, either on accident or on purpose - that's not exactly beatdown material. We don't know the facts...we shouldn't judge Chase or the guy who got hit.

 

On the news this evening, they said that the girl asked him to intervene after saying she was groped. So he didnt even see this happen. yet he says, " The guy got what he deserved".

 

From what I gathered on the news, there seems to be 2 possible scenerio's for what happened...


1. They are at the bar. This girl gets felt up by some guy. Pittman isnt around. The girl, instead of telling authorities, feels it necessary to tell chase pittman instead. She tells him all about it, he gets mad and plays tough guy.

2. They are at the bar. The girl never really gets felt up by the guy. She wants to get some attention, so she tells Pittman that she was felt up and boom he plays tough guy again.

I could understand his spur of the moment reaction hitting the guy if he's watching him with his own two eyes grope this girl. But, he was doing this on what she said happened. He never saw it happen with his own eyes. Atleast thats how it sounds not the news. Therefore, this was premeditated. That means she had time to walk and find Pittman. In that time she was in no danger and not being groped or anything like that. Therefor, Pittman and groped could have gone to security or to a cop at the bar and had the situation assessed. Instead, he plays tough guy and kicks the **** out of this dude.

 

There are 10 or 15 more scenarios other than that...that's what I'm saying, we have no idea. Can't blame anyone or mitigate the crime until we know, and we may never know. Suffice it to say, he will be suspended because of a decision he made.

 

Either way, he's in the wrong. Not saying the alleged groper isnt in the wrong. But, we dont know for a fact he did it. We know for a fact he knocked this dude out.

 

So what you trying to get at Scrappy, what point are you really trying to make here? Are you saying Chase should be kicked off the team? I mean you have narrowed this thing down to two scenerio's by something you saw on t.v., so with your high and mighty wisdom please tell us thug loving fans just what should happen to Chase.

 

Scrappy, I guarentee if you are put in position where a girl you are with or is in your group is getting gropped by some dude, you wouldn't just stand there. If you did, you would be the biggest pansy ever. I'm not saying that punching the dude was the best option or the only one....But in the heat of the moment, **** happens....

Also, the problem with this situation is the constant double edged sword that college athletes are put under. On one hand, they seem to be allowed to get away with a lot. But on the other hand, some things that normal college students would get away with, football players don't....

I don't support Pittman for what he did, but I'm not going to blame him. If the guy did grope a girl, he deserves what he got...

 

Like I said, you never (AS IN NEVER) have anything but negative insinuations and in this case with Chase Pittman you seem more than willing to err on the side of questioning Chase Pittman when you have also posted that you don't know what in fact occurred.

That, young man, is the definition of a "****-stirrer" and if you do in fact consider yourself some sort sports journalist at the ripe old age of 18,
then it is also lazy and unprofessional.

I don't know what you always think you are accomplishing and what "bait" anyone on this board supposedly took "hook, line and sinker" but this is truthfully nothing more than typical B.S. from "Scrappy" which is transparent in its' attempt to criticize LSU fans just as soon as the Pittman story
went public. You aren't as bright as you think.

 

I know I'm going to kick myself later for even responding to you, but Justin Vincent's issue earlier was that he was responding to people on a message forum that were posting rumors about him that partying was his problem last year. There has been nothing else. As far as the incident with Jordan, he was still in High School at the time and how can that be viewed as an issue with LSU's Athletic Program. I don't even know where you dreamed up the DUI issue.. never heard this one.

And as for Chase, while everyone here would have rather it not happened, I can't blame him for coming to the aid of a friend. This is not the same as a guy simply getting in a bar fight because someone spilled a drink on his shoes or him beating his girlfriend, he was coming to the defense of a girl that was being groped by some guy she didn't want touching her.

I can't fathom you saying that he should have gone and found a cop and not gotten involved. That's weak. If left alone, how much worse would the situation have become while you off trying to find a cop to come? :dis:

 

Doucet may be the guy that scrappy was thinking about. He did have a run-in with the police a few month's ago when he refused to leave a bar when he was told. Police showed up & he was arrested(can't remember the exact crime they sited him for).
