Official Attacked

[APG]

I'm a bit disappointed that the official in the video is declining to file charges. I've had a situation, in my first year officiating, where I filed charges on two players who threaten wait outside for me and kick my *** after their team accumulated 3 T's which meant an automatic forfeit of the game. I had to get a police ride back to my place (this was at my school gym and my place was 5 minutes away). The police officer suggested and even encouraged that I filed the charges. He even went so far as to pick me up the next day and drive me down to the police station!

In situations like this, I feel we have to send a strong message that this isn't okay and to prosecute where necessary.

People heard been talking?

WTH does that mean?

Oh ya, people have been talking about Assange and WikiLeaks since 2006. You just don't know where to look. And previously, Assange was praised for things he did. Now that there are false sexual accusations against him, people listen. Sex sells remains true.

You don't just do it for yourself. You do it for all of us.

AllPurposeGamer - you must have missed a couple of the posts, including the police report. The report was filed and the case has been turned over to the State Attorney's Office. Since the player is an adult, he'll have to deal with this felony for the rest of his life.
By the way, all that information, including the names of both the victim and the accused is public in nature, as is Facebook unless you decide to make your stuff private. Even the addresses are public. You could have left the police report on as well as the facebook snapshot. Everything there can be publically accessed. We might not like it, but that is the world we live in.

I got on FB because people at my church were on there and we would send out information to members for many events. Also my high school class used FB to send out information about our reunion this past summer. None of those folks are in their 20s I can assure you of that. I have almost 400 friends on FB and I know just about all of them from childhood, high school, college, church and officials. Almost none of them are in that age group.

MySpace is different and has a different group of people that use and visit that site. And the usage of MySpace is also very different.

I am not talking about accounts. Anyone can get an account. Who is using the site is a different story and primarily what I am talking about.

Current info says otherwise.

MySpace is dead. Just like Digg. They both had their chance and screwed it up.

Cite a source that says the age group of late 30s are the ones that "use" Fb the most.

It was a typo relax.

I have never heard about Assange since he decided to talk release information. Never heard others talk about him until this situation. More people have talked about his situation on FB when it happened. That is why the guy that invented FB got the recognition.

I have read this in more than one place and saw it talked about on the news several times. That being said MySpace is used by a lot of artist and people trying to make a name for themselves in the entertainment industry, so it is not completely dead. Just used differently. And why do I have to cite a source? You have not given me anything that is sourced? Dude, you are not my professors.

It did not take long to find.

Peace

You're right...I went back and read the link with the police report. Good on him. He's doing the officiating community a great deal of good by going through with the entire process.

Facebook was originally started to help college students network & in order to use you had to have a College e-mail address. However anyone with an interest in it now can use it, no matter what age.

If the PS3 was just for kids, then why are there several games ESRB-Rated: AO-M?

Umm, you did not properly source your hyper link using standard APA standard formatting. Therefore, I am not sure how much accuracy we can credit the article.

Well what if I like MLA instead?

The same thing goes there. The average age of the folks that play video games is not a teenager. And certainly not a teenager playing those games on the XBOX and PS3 games. The Wii is for the kids.

As a self-proclaimed gamer, I can tell you that you won't find many games rated AO on any game system. All major retail stores won't sell titles above an M rating (which was why Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was temporary pulled off the shelves when the Hot Coffee mod was discovered and retroactively given an AO rating instead of M. Rockstar Games had to re-release the game without the mod and get re-rated an M before retailers would sell the game again). Some will even go so far as to restrict sales of M rated games to minors.
