Well, then you'd be in jail right now. The guy that stabbed Banks and his buddy is most likely going to prison.

Actually, if they determine Banks and his buddy were drunk, antagonized the fight, attacked first and were involved in mob assault, Banks and his buddy are looking at time.

No, they aren't. At most Bank's buddy is looking at a misdemeanor assault charge for throwing a punch. Look at the police affidavit that I posted above. After the bounce had gotten between the two groups, the guy reached around the bouncer and stabbed Banks and his friend multiple times. A self-defense claim would never hold up under these facts.

Broomboy and Skins and all the rest of you that feel that going to night clubs is what "normal" 24 year olds do, you are absoulutely right that we folks who don't care for clubbing should not bash Brandon or any other athlete for exercising their choice to go to night clubs where people get intoxicated and fights do break out no matter how nice the club.

Most 24 year olds do club and we shouldn't get upset when the Fred Davises and the Brandon Banks run into trouble. We shouldn't get upset when the Ken Hamlins (former Seashawk) nearly lose their lives in a nice night club in Seattle. I don't think that we are being selfish, but definitely being unrealistic. I ask why would a guy who makes so much money want to be in a place where the odds are great that at some time fights will break out and deadly weapons pulled Again, I am showing my ignorance the clubbing mentality.

I do not understand the clubbing scene and nor do I want to. If my kid, said that he was going clubbing, I would urge him to be careful and take certain precautions. I wouldn't say he was unwise, so Broomboy and Skins and the rest of you, count me as getting your points. I hate to admit I am wrong, but in this case I am.

I should recognize that these football players should not be "targeted" by us fans as not being wise when they are only doing what they like to do which is what everybody wants to do - the trhings that they like. So they make a milllion plus dollars - it is their life. Just be careful and if you are only 5'7" and weigh 147 pounds be extra careful, Brandon.


Thanks
