Wayne Simmonds incidents

[Nik]

People, read the article. It's pretty clear on what he is and isn't going to be charged with and why.

Either way, it seems like a pretty fitting punishment. He gets whacked with a heavy fine and the entirety of Canada knows what a contemptible moron he is.

How can anyone prove why he threw the banana? Regardless of how it looks, how is this anything more than littering?

They don't have to prove it was racism.

I'm pretty sure that the term and conditions you agree to when you buy the ticket states that you cannot throw anything onto the ice, for whatever reason. And if you throw something onto the ice, the venue can choose to pursue legal action. Since it was a racist act, the JLC pressed charges, usually no charges are pressed by the venue if it was hats for a hat trick or an octopus in detriot.

I think to add to Fanatic's train of thought ..... maybe this guy gets charged with mischief or whatever but if people are looking for this guy to be tried and hung by the balls for racial hate crimes or something, they are going to be very disappointed. 

No, he's not facing a criminal charge. The London police says he faces a fine of up to $2000. I think making his name public might be the worst thing that he has to face.

Okay, its a trespass charge officially. Still, it doesn't strike me as the safest thing in the world to be doing.

Course the law won't do anything, but all they really need to do is give the internet his myface/twitter/whatever account.

I see thx.

The twitter mob is going to be very very disappointed in this.  Tar and feathers were being collected.

It isn't, hence the law. Also, I'd imagine the JLC can probably ban him from any future events.

So now he's famous for being a national idiot... and buying the world's most expensive banana.

 

[Manson]

Here he is...

Well, congratulations to those of you who guessed a popped collar and shades. You win whatever the pool amount was split six billion ways.

Ya I think he would gladly give $2,000 and then some if he could just go back and undo what he did. The fine will seem like nothing compared to everyone knowing his name and what he looks like. If it hasn't already, then I am sure the reality of that will kick him in the ass pretty soon.

 

[TML fan]

Sucks he doesn't catch a mischief charge. He probably won't face the full fine either.

 

[Pucken Chronic]

Well, congratulations to those of you who guessed a popped collar and shades. You win whatever the pool amount was split six billion ways.

And congrats to all that are so moral and above stereotypes.

Yeah, that small minority of exceptional morality who can look down on this slimy d-bag.

* WARNING - Very course language *

Not only is this extremely funny but I think it's a very level headed opinin on the use of the other "F" word... from a gay man.
