what are you talking about, you dont know who the shooter was. You are just making assumptions. And he wasnt the one who was violent. So now Jones is accountable if any friend of his gets in a fight? From what I heard all he did was show up at the strip club with a lot of money and throw it around on stage and then other people got into the fight and if you know the environment at these clubs, you know this kind of stuff happens because everyone is drinking and everyone is real tough and maybe Pac-Man shouldnt have been there in the first place but thats his decision. But no I dont see how hes hurting anyone but himself.
Oh and the cop Jones bit in the finger....he really got hurt. You must be joking. I dont even know if this report is true or not yet but even if it is, the report says that the cop was fine.

And we've all got problems, so dont sit there and act like you're better than him, hes not some sick guy, hes got some problems of course, but theyre relatively minor and its just crazy for you to sit there and cast down judgements and say he doesnt deserve any of what he has, as if you really know what hes been through or know that he hasnt earned his opportunities.

that's the worst "argument" i've ever read on this board. ever. period. i'd quote ward's sig if it was easy.
he IS an idiot. he BIT a cop. that's called a FELONY. this was RIGHT AFTER he was tied to a murder. but yeah, great going. he's clearly working hard on that NFL career while he's out assaulting police officers. awesome.
and what the hell is he going to judge me for on not making the NFL? i've nevr been to prison, i have a good job, and frankly, i wasn't allowed to continue my college career because of injury. so exactly what was your point again?
i'm actually angry that you thought this was a coherent, logical argument and thought it was worth posting. i can't even read the rest of the garbage you posted because this was so illogical and ridiculous. please, just stop talking.

If you were paying attention to the story. It was Adam Jones' "rain making" that started the incident.

you are absolutely ridiculous. Youre right. Youre perfect. Youve never done anything wrong in your life. Youre a better person than Pac-Man. Hes a scumbag. Its like I said, get the **** off your ivory tower.
Has Pac-Man made some mistakes? yeah, he has. Does he have some changes to make? Yeah, he has. But youre sitting here judging him as a person. You are making blanket judgments on a guy you really know nothing about. You really seem to think you are a better man than this guy because you havent been to jail? Are you a better man than me because Ive spent a couple nights in jail? Keep in mind, you know absolutely nothing about me. Im not saying Im better than you or anyone is better than you, because I DONT KNOW YOU. And YOU DONT KNOW ME OR PAC-MAN, SO KEEP YOUR ***** JUDGMENTS TO YOURSELF BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO JUDGE SOMEONE YOU DONT EVEN KNOW.

yeah, but its not like he was trying to instigate a fight or anything. it was a bad decision for him to be flaunting his money like that, I agree, but lets not go blame Pac-Man for everything that happenned at the club, I think the blame falls on the guy who pulled out the gun and the woman who broke a bottle over a bouncers head, etc etc whatever else happenned as the situation got out of control.

yes, yes i do. i am a better man than timothy mcveigh. do i know him? no. does that matter? no. i am a better human being than pacman. do i know him? no, but then, i don't need to to know that i don't associate with nor have i ever shot a fellow strip club patron. nor do i associate with anyone nor have i ever bitten a police officer. nor do i have a reputation for similar behaviour. nor has my life ever interfered with my ability to hold down a job.
but then, i guess you dcan't judge, say, hitler. because, by your own ridiculous logic, you never knew him. make a logical argument or stop talking.

here again come the comparisons to Hitler and Timothy McVeigh. People who have done simply unthinkable things. People who were obviously sick in the head.
But I'll tell you what. You are frickin sick in the head for coming out and saying "I am a better man than Pac-Man Jones" for the reasons you stated. As if that makes him a bad person. As if he as a person is defined by these brushes with the law he has had. As if you as a person can be defined by the brushes with the law you haven't had. Thinking like yours is a disease that will ruin this great country. You reinforce everything I say about the ivory tower when you talk like that. Instead, you are sitting back taking inventory on people, rather than actually looking at yourself. Pretending you are perfect. And if you are perfect, which im sure youre not, you should be trying to help people who arent so lucky as you rather than just looking down at everyone who isnt so blessed to be gifted with your perfection.

Are you related to Jones by any chance? That's the only reasonable explanation for you sticking up for him. No wait, even Jones' family thinks he needs to get his head out of his nether regions, and fix his life.

"Everybody tries to talk to him," Robert Jones said. "I do. His mother talks to him, his grandparents talk to him. … I don't know, I just think he is out of control. I've told him I think he is out of damn control, but he doesn't want to hear it.
"I hate to say things on the negative because I want to see him do good. But it is hard to see him keep getting involved in stuff like this. …''

I stick up for anyone who is getting unfairly judged. I dont have any liking for pac-man in particular.
What you dont get is that I agree he is screwing up. His whole life he worked to become the football player he is, this is the dream of him and millions of other men and he is living it and he keeps making foolish decisions, putting himself in bad situations, jepoardizing his football career. Giving in to temptation. Its foolish. I agree with that.
But you guys are sitting here saying "he is a joke of a human being", "he is scumbag", "I am a better man than him", "he should be thrown in prison", etc etc etc. And I strongly believe against people judging people in that manner, especially when we are talking about people like Pac-Man who are really just hurting themselves and are, as his father stated, somewhat out of control. But Ive known a lot of people that have been out of control at some point in their life and have stabilized and they are not bad people and I am not a better person than any of them because I didnt have those problems. And I am not gonna judge them like I am perfect, like I dont have some problems of my own.

I said that it was a sick thing to say. Theres a difference between saying he is exhibiting sick line of thinking and judging the statement he made and judging him as a person. I stated in my post that I am not calling myself better than NJX because I dont know him. I have no problem with someone saying Adam Jones is stupid and irresponsible for putting himself in the situations he has been in. I have a problem with people putting judgments on him as a person and making statements like "he is a worthless human being", "I am a better person than him", etc etc. Get the distinction?

Unfairly judged??? Are you friggin serious? You have to realize that he's being fairly judged. What more evidence do we need to form a judgement about him being 1. an idiot and 2. a detriment to society? He's had TEN incidents, including being involved in a shooting outside of a strip club and biting a police officer! I'm pretty sure he's had his fair share of DUI's too, which absolutely endanger lives.
If that's seriously your logic than you can never again make any argument or have any opinion, because those require judgements and you refuse to allow anyone to do so. In fact you can't respond to this because you are and already have been making a judgement that Pac-man is just a misunderstood guy without any evidence whatsoever. You are a flaming hypocrite.

I'm co-signing most of what TCIH has said in this thread. I don't really feel like getting into an argument of this nature right now, but I just can't believe that he is the single voice of reason. I think a lot of you are confusing the law with right and wrong. Don't take the time to think for yourself. It's much easier to just let the law tell you who the big bad wolf is. Pacman does indeed seem to be having difficulty staying within the herd. We all do to a certain extent. We weren't meant to all just fall into line. We are trained to do so throughout life. Maybe his training hasn't been as effective yet. He does seem to be acting very immature. What a surprise. A kid with millions. I have no doubt that he will look back on these days later on, and very deeply regret some of the mistakes he's made. He seems to be victimizing himself. Maybe he just doesn't know any better yet. He will get it eventually though. One way or the other. Mistakes tend to be the best teachers. Without them, there is no real learning. What exactly has Pacman done that was so egregiously out of line anyway? Prisons are for people who are a clear threat to society. Not for the majority of society itself. Even if you feel that what's been reported is that bad, do you have proof? Or do you merrily ingest every single thing you read? How would you like every mistake you made in life to be broadcast all over the world? According to some of you, we should lock up tots because they throw a tantrum. Pacman is in the process of life. He has a lot to learn, just like the rest of us. Hopefully for his sake, these recent events in his life have accelerated that process.

Do you have any idea how the majority of drug users get money to purchase drugs? It's not through hard working 8-4 jobs, it's by robbing and stealing from hard working folks, so yes, his use of drugs is in many ways does escalate the violence we see.
P.S. Have you ever met anyone that you can't find an excuse for?

There is a vast difference between 'growing pains,' and getting involved in incident after incident, ten to be exact. He hasn't learned that's the problem. If this was a couple of incidents, sure, I would agree with you.

I obviously have a much better idea than you. Take off the blindfold. Take a look around. Drugs are everywhere. And they aren't the cause for the pillaging you speak of anyway. But that's not what we're talking about here. And I never excused anybody. I put the thing into perspective. It's kinda tough to make an excuse for somebody when you don't even know what they've done. Just like how it's kinda tough to persecute the guy.

Wait for a conviction. If he is convicted, he should be gone.
