The guy who likes to call people as on message boards really needs to stop making excuses for aggressively putting hands on women.

I hate it when fans from other schools come and spew this nonsense, but it really irks me when UConn fans can't get this right and don't understand the difference.

They didn't steal anything. They tried to help sell stolen stuff. It's a huge difference to break in and decide to steal things and going along with helping to get rid of stolen stuff. Both are wrong - one is a planned intentional act and one is a reactionary act.

OK - so Williams/Price knew well ahead of time what they were going to do was against the law. I reallt doubt EW went into the siuation with a preplanned notion that he was going to physically harm a female.
True, they MAY have not committed the larceny (there is still doubt due to rumors) but they knew the larceny was committed and were abetting the crime and profiting.
Shoving (not punching - that is different) someone in an emotional state is far less severe - be it male or female
I don't care if EW comes back or not - but I am not one here to put his feet to the fire when I myself prayed that Williams/Price would return
THAT WOULD BE STUPID

name calling is ridiculous just as using action words as "agressive" when you were not ther to witness - I don't care what reports say - overpaid sate employed rentacops exaggerate too

I was talking about Perspective. Aggressive is an action word though? Like a verb?

I'm in no way excusing Williams and Price - they were clearly wrong and deserved to suffer the consequences. I was just making the point that it bothers me when UConn fans get it wrong in terms of what they actually did. Not agreeing on which is worse is mostly a matter of opinion, but in my mind, they committed a much less serious crime than stealing. Still stupid and still need to be accountable.

As for Wolf, I'll wait before I pass any judgement.

Did you give Williams and Price a free pass Jerry?

No I woulda kicked both off the team. For good.

I also put hitting a women as worse then stealing a laptop. So that tells where I stand on wolf.

You sure they're not needed? I have no idea what that last word is.
 
No one here knows the real facts about what happened. So arguing about WHAT IFS is really just stupid and a waste of time.

Let the legal process play out and I'm sure the university will make the right decision.

I would welcome Wolf back if the university determined its acceptable for him to return.

Source?
My understanding is that the GF asked him to leave and he wouldn't. That makes it a criminal trespass. The cops wouldn't "ask" him to leave, in any case. She'd say, "he hit me" and the cuffs would be on before you could say, "farfehgnuggen."

I want him back regardless of what happened. We're not running a sissy factory here, and at the end of the day, if the GF has forgiven him, who are you not to?

???? So I'm on your target list because of the SC statement?

I said in the post you are quoting that the only guilt we know for sure is criminal trespass. If the other charges get dropped I want him back. And they get dropped only if the girlfriend retracts her accusation, that is forgives EW.

If not the program doesn't need the negativity of taking back EW particularly when CR is in a state of flux. This is a deviation from how I normally approach these matters. Normally I'm for giving second chances. But the situation regarding UConn's future in sports is precarious. And sports has an impact on the academic side for UConn! Too much is at stake!

And who are you to ask me who am I. Although we're both *ssholes you're obviously a bigger one only because your sanctimonious attitude tells me you are this way because your head is stuck up your rectum!:) Just for the uninformed, I have been taken to task by Perspective in a different post and this is a carryover. Perspective, any of us can be tough if push comes to shove! I'm no different. I'll defend my position unless it becomes indefensible. My opinions are not my alter egos. They are only a snapshot of events. I'm flexible. But when someone such as yourself chooses to engage me, I have no problem defending myself.

Edit: I didn't realize Perspective had already shown his true colors to others before writing this. I thought it was a one on one! My opinion of Perspective still stands however!

Worse than you think.
I want him back whatever she thinks.
Guy was drunk and passionate and shoved her. Meh. I could care less. It's the wee-wee metrosexual, PC, pussified world we live in where this gets turned into the guy is a serial abuser.

If he punched some dude in a bar fight and broke his eye socket, he'd get more support than he is getting for shoving his girl.

Why is that? Some archaic notion that shoving a woman is somehow worse than aggravated assault on a man? Silly. Sexist. Needs to be buried.

The assessment should always be gender independent. What were the sizes/strengths of the two parties? How much force was used? What damage was done?

He shoved her and her glasses fell off. Please. Call me when he actually "hits" somebody and leaves a mark.

I merely pointed out that, if she has no issue with it, why should anybody else? Are you implying that she is too stupid or weak to properly assess what happened?

Frank Ivy everybody, fantasy world, Internet toughguy extraordinaire.
 
Is this progressive cat really a UConn fan, or is he some outside troll. Newcomer with relaytively few posts. Hell there are pee cee folk with far more posts than he.

I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE when people use being drunk as an excuse for doing dumb . I've done plenty of dumb stuff when I'm drinking (see: half my posts here) but I've never used that as an excuse. I opened the bottle, I drank it, I did the act, it's my fault. I have an ex who did it all the time. Maybe I should have shoved her. It'd be justifiable because she was being obnoxious right?
 
Everyone who knows Wolf is guilty should contact the UConn police immediately with their evidence.
