[News] Gavin McKenna facing charges for assault UPD: felony charge withdrawn

[5abi]

To punch someone for name calling.

The damage to the other is too much. Hopefully the law is fair and McKenna gets a fair sentence

Edit: hope he gets jail time, a good amount

Hoping that an 18 year old will spend time in jail in a foreign country when you don't even know the facts is an embarrassing take.

I expect that his season is over for Penn State, the NCAA and the school will probably suspend him until he sorts out his legal troubles.


His draft year is effectively ruined, teams aren't going to high risk a guy that does something this stupid.


I'm sure he's going to be under tremendous pressure to make a deal, but that Felony charge has to go away as it would effect his ability to cross the border.


The kid with one stupid punch has completely derailed himself.

lol man this forum sometimes.

Facts: the kid McKenna punched is in the hospital with a broken jaw, concussion and multiple missing teeth

Facts 2: McKenna chose to attend school in a foreign country - so now he faces charges in a foreign country.

Your so cute sometimes

Fact: McKenna didn't punch a ‘kid’.

Fact: We know nothing, except Internet rumours, about what led up to the altercation and whether the victim was also committing an assault.

Those aren't all the facts. You don't know what you're talking about. As I said: embarrassing take.

So many professionally formed opinions on a matter in which the actual facts of the matter are not set in stone and the potential video has not yet been seen.

As easily as it could be a "what an idiot, short-tempered, breaking a guys jaw over comments, derailed his career, etc.", it could also just as easily be a situation in which McKenna showed a ton of restraint at first, the "victim" wouldn't let up, made physical contact with McKenna's mom and thus officially crossed the line and deserved a quick two-punch combo that *fortunately* (in that specific case) broke the dude's jaw.

Were any of us there as witnesses to form legitimate opinions? Like if it comes out that the guy actually made physical contact with McKenna's mom on top of repeated insults towards her, then McKenna is one hell of a man and especially a son, whereas some people here sound like they'd just let their own mothers get berated by drunk #######s lol

The police have video; if it were self defense the charges would’ve shown that

Take a look at the post directly above yours. Then think before insulting people for not jumping to the same conclusion you did.

You've seen the video and know that it clearly captured the whole incident, I take it?

You do know that you can still be arrested and charged even if it's self-defense right? McKenna is already back out on the streets looking for his next victim

[Mathgod]

I'm probably wrong about this but... would there be a way for the victim to agree to drop all charges in exchange for half of all McKenna's future NHL earnings?

Any normal day this forum : fighting is wrong oh and Evans’s Kane bad

White kid gets into a fight and he’s a hero

lol

Evander Kane is a dick head for a lot of reasons but fighting has never been one of them. The #### you on about?

Why? You don't know the details. This is jumping to conclusions.
