Erik Walden arrested?

[Deputy Nutz]

Actually, I "forgave" Green when he apologized publicly, made a commitment to not let it happen again and immediately started anger management classes. And then it never happened again. I agree with you about the Paterno incident. Still people are sad about the effect that will have on Penn's programs despite that it was right to fire him. Hello? How 'bout being sad for the boys whose whole lives are shattered?

Without looking shit up, I believe Green was involved in three domestic disturbances. Once in college and twice in Green Bay.

You mean batman hit women?

Not to take away from the seriousness of this subject...

but I do input in the FF room for this afternoon's game!

[Patler]

If I recall correctly, Green never harmed his wife physically. It was shouting, threats, intimidation, etc. Certainly may have been mental abuse, but no actual physical harm.

IMO the incident was overblown.

Expect EW starting next week.

In your opinion? Is that based on something we don't know? Guessing is one thing but having an "opinion" here has got to be pretty hard with no info.

[SkinBasket]

Sometimes you are a fucking moron.

you'll have to elaborate.

I think, quite possibly, NFL fans overreacted. The facts as we know them are pretty much "he was held over the weekend on suspicion of domestic abuse" and "she claims nothing happened (as is common in these situations.)" We don't actually know anything else. Probably the people who were calling for the Packers to cut Walden immediately might have been overreacting.

After all, we lose nothing if we wait until he is actually convincingly demonstrated to be scum before cutting him.

That I didn't know there. Hadn't heard anything from her... makes sense.

Been trying REAL hard to keep out of this one, but it's a bit too close to home.

I've spent some time in a holding cell because of what my now-ex wife said. Ya, she was bruised up, and full of dirt, and I didn't have a mark on me.

I was not the aggressor. I guess the difference is that she claims nothing happened...my ex claimed I ripped off her head and shit down her neck, despite standing in front the cop telling him this. If I'd done what she claimed, she wouldn't have been walking. IMO the fact that she claims nothing happened is a pretty big red flag.

Being held for the week-end is pretty damn interesting as well. That is certainly not common. No question, he would've gotten a lawyer right away...why couldn't the lawyer secure his immediate release? My guess is that he had an altercation with the cops. The other reason to hold him is that they were trying to give her breathing room to feel comfortable and talk to them.

With it being a holiday weekend, courts were closed until Monday. That's the reason being given for why he hasn't been released.

maybe things are different down your way...but in Canada, if a lawyer shows up at the station he can pretty much secure he release on 'your own recognizance' unless there's some mitigating circumstances.

For a felony battery charge? I'm no lawyer, but I would think that might require approval of a judge.

[smuggler]

From what I read, her most serious injury was to her hand. She also had a cut on her head. Pretty curious injuries. Jury's still out, but I'm very curious as to the specifics.

It does. I've had to wait over the weekend to get out. Charges eventually got dropped, but yeah... you'll have to wait.
