DB is charged with felony assault and is being sued.

Was a crime committed here - yes or no?

I'd have a hard time holding DB civilly liable, much less criminally liable, considering the other guy initiated the physical contact. It doesn't appear that DB welcomed the contact.

Here is a good one.

Cop: "Get on your stomach or you're going to get it again!"

Drunk: "No!...<shock>....ahhhh!"

You know, the whole tasering thing is pretty harsh, and I figure it probably can be abused, but I've yet to see an instance where the person didn't flat out ask for it.

I think they invented the term "crappie flop" after that drunk guy.

The title at Breitbart said that DB had "bodyslammed" the guy so I expected a WWE body slam.

Instead, DB tossed this "John Edwards" over his head and let gravity do the work. He never "bodyslammed" the guy or exerted any downward force. It might have been different had he thrown him forward like most people would have done.

Why didn't this bozo put his hands down to catch himself?

Man, You Tube is dangerous. Instant celebrity-making machine. The poor slubs in the auditorium are forever memorialized.

A great Remix!

Bonaduce won't be charged for face-plant

Danny Bonaduce won't face charges for giving former "Survivor" contestant Johnny Fairplay a face-plant on stage at an awards show.

A charge evaluation document released by the district attorney's office Friday said there was "insufficient evidence" to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Bonaduce committed battery because Fairplay "initiated contact and acted offensively."

Fairplay, 33, said he underwent 2 1/2 hours of dental surgery after Bonaduce tossed him over his shoulders at the Fox Reality Channel's Really Awards on Tuesday.

The evaluation worksheet said Fairplay jumped on Bonaduce, "wrapped his arms and legs around the suspect and thrust his pelvis into the suspect's body."

Deputy District Attorney Jeffrey Boxer wrote that Bonaduce did not intentionally injure Fairplay and his "actions fell within the realm of self-defense."

Fairplay's police report claimed Bonaduce walked on stage uninvited and made a "derogatory statement."

Fairplay later said he was giving Bonaduce a hug, one of his signature moves as a performer.

A video of the incident captured the sound of the audience booing.

Fairplay, whose real name is Jon Dalton, appeared in the 2003 CBS show "Survivor: Pearl Islands" and came in third.

Bonaduce, 48, was a child star on "The Partridge Family," starred in the 2005 reality show "Breaking Bonaduce," and has recently co-hosted Adam Carolla's radio show.
