    Is this in reference to somebody? Oden?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    This thread got a bit of a PapaG boost.

    I wish the young lady a speedy recovery from her physical and emotional injuries. If she decides to be an advocate for battered women, more power to her, but her first priority right now has to be her own recovery. I hope Oden decides to do what he needs to, after his jail time, to pick up his life and be a better person. Whether that be alcohol rehab, anger management, new career, whatever.

    Why would I play the victim card for PapaG? The last time he was "banned" I said pretty much the same things you said in your last paragraph. I just don't understand how his Oden update/comments were the trigger for this latest kerfluffle. If he was gonged for his comments in the Robin Williams thread - that is a completely different discussion!

    I don't know the exact reason he was banned (yet again), but I believe it was for his comments in the Robin Williams thread. I didn't even see that thread until this morning, well after he was banned, but his comments there were much worse and more ban worthy (IMHO) than anything he said in this thread. That's why I provided the link.

    Most of the posts there are compassionate to him. Only one poster named Tualatin really hates him. Here are 2 good posts.

    It rarely begets violence unless your fighting over the last Dorito.

    Hopefully Greg has enough dough for a decent lawyer. The definition of Battery Resulting in a Serious Injury:

    In Indiana, the crime of battery causing serious bodily injury is committed by intentionally or knowingly touching another person in a rude, insolent, or angry manner that results in serious bodily injury to the victim. Serious bodily injury creates a substantial risk of death or causes serious and permanent disfigurement, unconsciousness, extreme pain, loss of a fetus, or permanent or lasting impairment of any part of the body. (Ind. Code Ann. § 35-41-1-25, 35-42-2-1.)

    Somehow 3 stitches does not meet the criteria for risk of death or serious and permanent disfigurement (granted I still have a scar on the bridge of my nose from a cut I got as a baby but I can’t say its disfiguring). It looks like that felony is an extreme charge. Unless he knocked her out, there’s no way a competent lawyer would let that charge stick.

    He also broke her nose, which the doctors have not been able to reset yet due to the swelling. I suppose that could lead to permanent disfigurement, but then I'm not a doctor, a lawyer or a thug, so I may not be up to date on the current legal definition of "permanent disfigurement".

    She's going to get his whole salary from the Heat if not more and probably will settle out of court and cash in. As far as disfigurement, the crime scene photos of her are enough evidence for pretty severe penalty. This is a no win situation for Oden no matter how you look at it. It's glaringly apparent Greg Oden is not the sharpest pencil in the box. This is not why he got a college education and millions on a platter. It's his shame, he has to own it. Whole thing just pisses me off.
