Jesus christ! http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives...ide_strip_club/ <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Indiana Pacers player Stephen Jackson was hit in the mouth, struck by a car and fired a gun outside an Indianapolis strip club early Friday, police said. Jackson, 28, told officers he fired his 9 mm pistol in the air in self-defense after he was slugged in the jaw and hit by a car outside the club, said Sgt. Matthew Mount, spokesman for the Indianapolis Police Department. There were no reports of anyone being struck by the gunfire, and police did not make any immediate arrests. Police are looking for the car that hit Jackson and other individuals involved. Mount said an argument involving Jackson and other members of the Pacers began inside the club. The Pacers players said they left the club, but other club patrons followed them outside. "At some point when leaving the club, a verbal altercation ensued ... that turned into a physical altercation," Mount said. Jackson was hit in the mouth, and an individual tried to run him over with a car, Mount said. Jackson went up onto the hood of the car. Jackson was limping but refused medical treatment at the scene, Mount said. He conferred with a Pacers trainer and sought medical treatment at a hospital. The other Pacers at the scene were Jamaal Tinsley, Marquis Daniels and Jimmie Hunter. Tinsley and Daniels also had guns in their cars, and all three armed players had permits for the weapons, Mount said, although Daniels' permit was issued by the state of Florida.</div> I love Jackson's game, but he always came off as a "thug" to me. He was probably running his mouth like crazy. I wonder why these guys feel the need to carry loaded weapons on them in the first place though. No wait, there's more: http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives...n_tinsleys_car/ <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>According to the Indianapolis Star, a small amount of marijuana was found in Jamaal Tinsley?s car, Matthew Mount said, but no one was arrested because the drug can not be linked to any particular person. ?There?s no way of telling whose it was, hence no arrests,? Mount said.</div>
Marquis is fitting in so well already!Seriously, ?There?s no way of telling whose it was, hence no arrests"? That sounds like a pretty weak excuse to not arrest a basketball player.

If this happened with 3 average Joe's, and they had guns/weed, they would be in jail. But no... just because these guys are pro ball players, they get off with nothing that night. I guarentee nothing will happen. The only way a pro basketball player gets put in jail for is murder, and that's wrong.
