[QUOTE="Lare, post: 155741, member: 114"] So a few people are upset because I don't agree with them in condoning Barnett's actions that night. Well tough. The point I as making is that all we have for information so far is unsubstantiated reports, yet we have many people making things up in order to justify Barnett's actions. The only information I could find with any real information was: [b][i]Appleton police released details on the arrest of Green Bay Packers linebacker Nick Barnett early Sunday morning. According to police, around 2 A.M. Barnett got into a fight with a female acquaintance inside Wet, an Appleton night club, and pushed her to the floor. One woman allegedly threw a drink at Barnett, and another fan grabbed Barnett's arm and asked for an autograph. A bar owner got involved and the owner's argument with Barnett spilled out to the street, where police officers became involved. “When the officers initially asked Mr. Barnett for some identification, he was uncooperative and very argumentative and refused to provide ID, refused to give a name or anything of that nature. He subsequently did provide identification but continued to argue with the officers," Sergeant Pat DeWall, Appleton Police Department, said. Officers arrested Barnett. He was booked into the Outagamie County Jail and was released after posting a $500 bond. Police say they plan to pursue a misdemeanor charge of battery against Barnett, but it's up to the Outagamie County district attorney to decide if Barnett will face charges. The district attorney's office said there is no word when or if Barnett is expected in court. [/i][/b] Yet, we have people taking that account and coming up with statements like; [i]"Actually Z2C it could be construed that he did defend himself. Her constant and unwanted approaches topped off by throwing a drink in his face is assault on its own."[/i] [i]"Is he supposed to just let her get in close where maybe she can gouge his eyes or something?"[/i] [i]"If she DID throw a glass in his face, I'd say he showed alot of self control by not doing anything but push her away from him."
