According to a ticket issued by officers, Carey intentionally inflicted injury when he allegedly yelled a homophobic slur at the victim, saying “You’re a f****** f*****.” Officers said he yelled the homophobic slur repeatedly while jabbing the victim in the chest with two fingers.

>The camera man was a straight up cock hole. How dare he talk to anyone like that. He was recording his misfortune and speaking to him like a piece of shit. Fucking parasites. So hard to see Danny ruffed up by a pig while a cock hole records it.

If Carey did in fact call someone those names then that's seriously uncool of him and he's lost some of my respect.

However, a sixty year old dude getting arrested for assault because he jabbed someone in the chest with two fingers? Was this because it happened at an airport and people are hyper vigilant about airplane-related violence or is this a trumped up charge from the drunk and disorderly arrest it probably should have been?

What a shitshow.

"He was recording his misfortune" Key point here, parasites indeed.

I've worked at the airport for 5 years, he was probably shitfaced, missed the flight and unleashed on staff, I've had plenty of these, we used to say people switch to walk on four legs the moment they enter the airport, rational thoughts are left at the door. Still, I hope he issues an apology, shameful behaviour regardless of who you drum for.

All y'all hand wringing about the charges oughta know that misdemeanor assault is based around the threat of violence. Which is why it's not felony assault.

Which is why getting in somebody's face and hurling slurs at them (that people with DC's body proportions ands general vibe usually only use to posture threats) is totes comfy in that box.

That's battery. Felony assault usually means a threat of more grave violence.

porcupinetheater
December 17th 2021
11087 Comments


Battery is the incidence of harm itself, sure (in broad strokes, if you want to paper over legal nuance, which based on yr response yr prob super down for)

Assault is the imminent threat, and in a thread where the seriousness of that threat was being questioned and passing it off as “trumped up charges,” making a distinction between what constitutes misdemeanor vs. felony assault is also worthwhile so all the mouthbreathers here don’t keep conjuring the specter of sjdubyas comin for their precious Joe Rogan sympathizer. Like for example how misdemeanor assault allows for cases like this even if Danny didn’t bust out a baseball bat and hold it against somebody’s skull (woah that would prob be aggravated assault, i.e. a felony!!)

SitarHero
December 17th 2021

"if you want to paper over legal nuance"

LMAO so you're going to drop sub-google level statements about what constitutes assault and then whinge about legal nuance? Take a deep breath and punctuate, my friend.

If you and your jurisdiction considers alleged name-calling and two-finger jabbing a credible threat of imminent violence sufficient to constitute a misdemeanor assault and "intentionally inflicted injury" then fair play. I mean, it's not like cops are known for exaggerating criminal charges or anything, especially given the past year and a half of media attention on general cop shitbagginess.

Also, your opinion of any supposed Joe Rogan sympathising makes it seem like you're far more invested in Carey's fate than anyone else on this thread, so given how touchy this topic seems to be I'm gonna bow out. May you find peace in the legal outcome you crave.

For your first comment, that wasn't bad. I'm not going to judge Danny on one incident as I've heard from many people and my own friend alone he's a pretty chill guy but can't deny this was a dick thing. Hopefully owns up to it, apologizes, and does something for the person he wronged. Definitely not going to let my fandom of him/the band blindly defend him like this action wasn't bullshit. Sadly though, the fanbase of course will
