http://deadspin.com/report-kevin-johnson-beats-protestor-to-a-bloody-pulp-1786929321 anyone have any info about this? If true, this doesn't bode well for him.
If you throw a pie in the face of a random dude you dont know (or do know and arent bros or an attractive female) you absolutely deserve to get your ass beat.
That Sac Bee article is pretty lame too. Do you see how obviously slanted it is based on the language used? "Mayor Kevin Johnson...got into a brief physical altercation" "During the assault, the subject sustained a minor injury" "a man approached him from the side, grabbed him by the arm, yanked him off balance and slammed a pie into his face" "A brief scuffle ensued" “The mayor just felt he was being punched in the face,” Not to mention how they made a point to emphasize how he was at a charitable event for a school he helped transform. I loved KJ as a player and have no opinion on him as a politician, but writing like this bothers me.
Truth. I bought 2 pumpkin pies at Costco on Friday and finished them this morning, 6 1/2 days later. 58 oz each, total 7.25 lb. This is but one of many benefits of being divorced.
I had planned to throw them at the faces of Denny and Sly, but decided that they were too good for that. The pies.
The Deadspin headline is the main problem, which neglects to even mention that KJ was the one who was assaulted initially and thus attempts to misconstrue the incident. Plus Deadspin has a track record of being laughable.
Hey Wookie! You'll love this. First, it says that the pie-thrower had a previous incident with Kevin Johnson, almost getting pepper-sprayed at a podium. Then the video shows that he looks like Walton. (Kevin Johnson sightings at 6:05 and 7:40.) For dessert, the article ends with a bunch of scrumptious recipes! You are welcome! https://www.newsreview.com/sacramento/pageburner/blogs#BlogPost-22164481
A pie in the face in this manner is assault. So is chasing the guy down and beating the shit out of him. From the sounds of it, KJ was in no imminent harm and self defense was not involved. KJ is a douche. I expect both individuals should be prosecuted.
The trend in America is that nobody is held accountable for their own actions anymore. This dip shit thinks its OK to throw a pie at someone? He didnt deserve to get punched? http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/17614663/bruised-pie-wielder-says-kevin-johnson-overreacted
He deserved to get arrested, possibly sued, maybe punched. But KJ's (edit) actions were criminal as well. Throw the book at both of them.
