Nice haircut on him too. Definitely cuts his own bangs with a bowl around his head.

The guy in the black hoodie I think was standing and watching in case little boy went flying into his row

Like how the guy grabbed little boy and used him as a shield against little boy's girlfriend/sister/cousin/aunt/whatever

Hey little boy, little boy, little boy, little boy, little boy, little boy, little boy ...........

According to TSN online due to cap considerations the Oilers might have to put Puljujarvi on waivers before the trade deadline, if that happens what team takes a flyer on him

Hopefully, not us

I hope not the Jets. What a dud. Do we really need to replace Vesalainen at 3x the salary?

if the Jets took him (i hope not) they would have the #2,#3 and #4 picks of the 2016 draft run thru the organization.

 

[DRW204]

Being sucker punched by someone 3x your size goes a long way into taking the fight out of you.

maybe don't go dropping the N bomb then.

 

[Joe Hallenback]

Man Colorado looked horrible without Makar

 

[WaveRaven]

If that kid isn't married to that girl do it immediately lol

 

[Buffdog]

I may be in the minority, but I'm all for people getting punched in the face if they do or say something stupid. In person OR online

I think our society is a product of not enough people having ever been punched before, and now acting as if there is no chance of it ever happening.

I know, violence isn't alway THE solution. But it is A solution

 

[AlphaLackey]

No insult is so vile that it gives one the moral or legal right to punch someone in the face. Call the usher, and dude is removed.

Oh I assure you, you’re not in the minority. A whole lot of people are, at best, selectively anti-violence. Which is the problem. Who gets to arbitrate what is stupid enough to deserve a punch, who arbitrates which people are exempt from it, and of course, who has the authority to decide who gets the last shot — if a punch is okay for a word, then a crowbar to the head is okay for a punch, and so on until you get, well, modern day America. Like I says, not in the minority.

That's not a problem

If I know words are gonna get me punched, I might not say them. Getting punched isn't fun. That's my point.

From there, if people knew that punches got them crowbarred, they'd be less likely to punch people.

Having an usher remove someone isn't enough of a consequence to make people second guess their vile actions.

And please stop shitting on America. My wife is American and my kids were born down there. Plenty of good people live there. And I seem to recall a guy getting tossed down the stairs and into the boards at... *checks notes*... Canada Life Centre, which is in... *checks notes again*... Canada... not too long ago

yea and you think an usher making minimum wage will have this fellow change his behavior?

people just dont go around dropping the N bomb. you're so focused on a punch rather than what caused it. gee i wonder why.

guy is putting far more emphasis on a punch at a sporting event, then someone dropping the racial epithet.

and yea if the ushers are anything like the ones mts centre they aint doing shit to get their hands dirty (at least from my experiences).

 

[SLAYER]

My wife is American and my kids were born down there.

Your poor family, I send my sympathies

There are good people everywhere, but the USA is definitely goin' downhill at record speed. Don't worry though, Canada is right behind them!

Arena security should handle the situation, not ushers as they are not trained for physical confrontation.

Also, many people DO go around droppin' N bombs. It's especially popular in them southern states.

true. i guess what i was trying to convey which i failed at lol is that

not sure why a punch, in a pretty suspecting situation (guy is right in front of him meanwhile the dude in the texas jersey is telling him he'd punch him out - 0 mention from the OP on that either) is getting far more emphasis from the poster than a guy dropping the n-bomb.

No one's shitting on America. Pointing out a major problem America has, and using it as a cautionary tale on what happens if escalating violence is allowed to go unchecked, is not shitting on it; not when it has a gun violence issue (i.e. pretty much the pinnacle of violence escalation) that is singular among its peers.

And suffice it to say I disagree vehemently when you say that all those massive problems "aren't a problem"

"gee i wonder why."

I've already told you exactly what my issues are with the issue of responding to insults with violence, so whatever answer to your rhetorical question is in your mind, it's surely inaccurate.

And yes, I'm putting more emphasis on instigatory violence than on an insult. Because instigatory violence is worse, because there is no insult so vile that it justifies instigating violence. And not that I'm saying you're insinuating this, because I can't say for certain what "gee, I wonder why" meant, but anyone who would even insinuate that this position is racist would be in error to do so.

And if the ushers are anything the ushers that escort people out of sporting events, then he's going to get escorted out and possibly banned for a long time. The guy that threw a banana on the ice at Wayne Simmonds way back when, what happened to him again? How was that racist act dealt with? What were the consequences of his actions?

I mean the n-word is a pretty vile insult... and I won't be sorry if someone got hit in the face right after saying it, also wouldn't really call it a sucker punch either after the guy told him to step down there and he'll pop his ass... were you expecting him to tell him that he was going to hit him before hand?

just keep defending a racist because he got hit in the face after threatening the guy...

so you're ok with the dude in the texas jersey initially telling him:

i will punch you out
then calling him the N word to invoke a response

got it. keep on fighting the good fight!

i dont know what the consequences of the simmonds actions were. evidently not severe enough if its still happening.

It certainly is (on average, at least) one of the most vile insults in the English language. Never said anything but, never will. And where your sympathies lie are where your sympathies lie. Emotional and visceral reactions don't have to coincide with what's legal. And if the other guy had thrown the first punch, he'd have been the one in the wrong.

naw, sorry the racist dude who threatened the guy is in the wrong, if you want to eliminate your chances of being hit, then don't threaten random guys

I just hate mullets. I’m sure there’s some decent people that have them though. Hate that that stupid haircut is back. Whatever. You’d have to pay me for one.

it seems like he couldn't decide between a mullet and a bowl cut so he just asked for both

Okay, well, in the Simmonds case, the ushers and arena security were alerted, the person was ejected, barred from the arena for life, and charged and convicted of a crime. As I'm sure you suspected, it's basically a complete and total proof-of-concept of what I'm describing is the proper way to handle things. And if it's "still happening", I must have missed the next time a hockey player (of any ethnicity) had a banana thrown at them on the ice.

No one said "okay with". (EDIT: also, no one is defending him, or at least I'm not. "X is worse than Y" doesn't mean Y must therefore be zero). On balance, the person who threw the first punch is the one that's in the wrong, but that doesn't mean both parties acted perfectly. But that doesn't mean that the right way to handle the situation involves a return to the Golden Age of the Sociopath.

Haircuts like that make me think the barber's clippers ran out of battery power halfway through, but didn't wanna say anything.
