Good news: Pouncey WILL NOT be charged with battery

Report: Pouncey says he won't be charged in nightclub incident
By Ryan Wilson | CBSSports.com
September 2, 2014 11:28 am ET
On Thursday, August 7, the Miami Herald reported that Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey -- but not twin brother Mike, who plays for the Dolphins -- would be charged with misdemeanor battery following an alleged nightclub assault in Miami the month before. A day later, the State Attorney's Office said it wasn't yet ready to pursue the charge.
Nearly a month later, Maurkice Pouncey has yet to hear from the State Attorney's Office. And according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Ed Bouchette, he doesn't expect to.
"Here we are ... and no charges," Bouchette wrote Tuesday. "Pouncey told me there won't be any and that they have witnesses and video to show he was not involved in any birthday bashing."
Shortly after the alleged incident became news, Pouncey addressed reporters about the suit, which claimed that he and his brother used homophobic slurs before beating a man and a woman at a Miami nightclub.
"The only thing that sucks about it is that I tried to keep a clean nose throughout the process this year. Having to deal with this, sucks, it truly does," he said at the time. "Even for the birthday party (at the nightclub), we hired our own retired police officer to go out with us. For something like to this to happen is truly unbelievable. I just want to take the time to apologize to the the fans who take this the wrong way. You guys all know me and know the person I am. For people to say bad things about me, that sucks. But sometimes you've got to deal with bad things in life and move on."
Pouncey, who missed 15 games last season after tearing his ACL, signed a signed a five-year, $44 million extension in June.

In other words, the victims' allegations were bullshit all along....or a settlement has quietly been agreed to.
And for people who want to side with the latter, usually you get charges filed BEFORE agreeing to settle as that gives the victim the most leverage.

that is good news. Better news would be 19 or 20 healthy games the rest of this season.

I just hope for the victim's sake the queer goldigger can get one of the Miami heat to hit him in face.
Nevermind all that can he anchor?

Ben got six games for alleged rape.
It only makes sense Pouncey gets six for an alleged gay hate crime beating.
Come on now...this isn't something as simple and innocent as Ray Rice going Mike Tyson on his fiancee.

Doesn't sound like miami pd has said they aren't pressing charges.
Really, seems like they just want the thing to go away quietly, where when there is media attention on the issue they try to make it look like they are doing something. And now we are putting it back in the news?

No evidence of homophobia. Bad taste, uncalled for, whatever. Leaping to homophobia on the basis of a slur is groundless. And if someone doesnt care for the gay lifestyle and chooses to belittle it, that doesnt make it homophobia either. People actually have the ability to dislike or disapprove something without being afraid of it. But hey, with some people, if they arent forcing their liberal agenda down others throats, then they arent awake yet. Political Correctness is the hobgoblin of small minded people and busy bodies.

Well, I was wondering WTF was up with this. Its been a couple months? It sure smells like no charges but no resolution yet.

I have no problem with the thread, I just don't want pouncey to be going all 'DEM PIGS CAINT TOUCH ME!' Until the pigs in question have formally determined they aren't going to touch him.StillMadAtSlobber wrote:mick wrote:Doesn't sound like miami pd has said they aren't pressing charges.

Your definition of homophobia is narrow-minded. It is not simply fear.
Homophobia encompasses a range of negative attitudes and feelings toward homosexuality or people who are identified or perceived as being lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT). It can be expressed as antipathy, contempt, prejudice, aversion, or hatred, may be based on irrational fear, and is sometimes related to religious beliefs.
Read the definition of homophobia and tell me again how using a slur isn't homophobic. This will be my last post on this topic because it is getting into politics, but you are flat out wrong.

For a relatively simple case like this (just witness interviews, maybe some hospital records and potentially video) it doesn't take long to investigate and decide whether to press charges.
That doesn't rule out the possibility, but the most likely scenario is both parties were being drunk assholes and the DA really doesn't want to waste its time.

Actually, stillmadatslobber was the one introducing politics with the sentence : But hey, with some people, if they arent forcing their liberal agenda down others throats, then they arent awake yet.

The defend the homo stuff is so god damned funny to me...it's not even like there is virtual pussy to be had.
I don't see anything homophobic 99% of the time here. Consider how in the filth this place get's with Cleveland Steamer, Alabama fire dragon, a billion types of jizz moppers, etc...if hetereosexuals are open to this sort of abuse, why the outrage at "queer gold digger" ? Especially when every sort of "gold digging slut" is advanced with full approval in every eddie munster fucked BR thread... which I guess in it's literal qualifies as homophobic here.
When I have used the word "faggot" here it really has had nothing to with gay...and everything to do with being a sissy or a pussy.
Consider the ramifications of the word motherfucker when taken in it's literal...thats pretty heterosexual negative isn't it?
So how often is it homophobia here, and how often is it an attempt to create a special protected class?
Because my commentary on this has much more to do with selective sensitivities then it does sexuality...

Is 'queer' even a 'slur'? We have 'queer eye for the straight guy' where I can't imagine a true racial slur used in a show title.
He clearly means to denigrate, but it reads to me the equivalent of 'where's my dinner, woman?', where I wouldn't classify 'woman' as a slur.
Honestly, the term 'homophobic', noting that it's only ever used to denigrate a group of people, is more a 'slur' than 'queer'.

I find the lack of self control to post about this shit much more annoying than the posting of it. We just can't help ourselves can we? I have a new rule: would SteelFan77 or B2B make a post in response to this? No? Then it must not be football related and I move on. Just my own personal new season resolution here at Fury.

Back, I probably have more gay friends than you do. I'm not anti gay in the least. I am anti goldigging lowlife. Which this guy is. Being gay doesn't help that.
That said, I do apologize if I offended anyone.

No charges. I'm guessing it's because the Eye in the Sky does not lie.

If the guy was a straight lowlife would you call him such or just a lowlife? Color, beliefs, and sexual persuasion are all easy targets to define people. Yet they arent and never have been the best barometer. A persons' behavior has and always will be the standard to judge someone. A shithead is a shithead.
BTW I dont have gay friends, white friends, black friends, hispanic friends, straight friends…I simply have friends.

I'm so sick of the conflating of race and sexuality...and now beliefs?
Every single major religion prohibits homosexuality. Even the facebook trendy Hindus only make allowances for human lesbians and eunuchs...only the gods are androgynous. So good luck with the facebook is going to change the world...
This board...and really in most every tavern in the country sexual practices of every sort are ridiculed.
All the world isn't a work place....

Well, I'm in no way a rise above it sort of poster...and I really hate that my language options are limited by snitches and misguided social engineering.
To be completely honest I resent snitches and the overly sensitive reading my stuff...and there is an ignore feature.
