Patrick Kane arrested

[JR Boucicaut 3805]

It doesn't matter.

For instance, I've met Georges Laraque several times, and our families know each other. The first time I met him, I didn't think he'd pull my shirt over my head and kick my ass.

[chippa13 1844]

I wouldn't exactly call him scrappy. He had 19 hits last year

I don't know what is better, the fact that you believe not being scrappy proves he didn't do it or the fact that you added the hits total as better evidence with an edit.

Yea man when I got to meet Steve Ott he tried to slit my throat.

[dontdumpdangle 0]

Yeah, I specifically said that it proves he didnt do it. None of us know him, but from his play style I would guess that he would be less likely to do something like that.

[JR Boucicaut 3805]

Actually there are a couple of MSHers who do know him. One of them posted in this thread.

Quit while you're behind, your logic makes absolutely zero sense.

If avery and gretzky were both in the cab and this story came out, who would you think was the one who did it?

[mack 44]

OJ didn't knife anyone on any of his TD runs either, but here we are, Dershowitz.

OK, choke yourself.

Funny how noone wants to judge Kane without all the facts but they love judging the cabbie.

It's called creditbility, and it's a big part of our legal system. People who make far less money than Patrick Kane wouldn't engage in assault and robbery over 20 cents. In our hyper-litigious soceity famous people are likely to settle, even the most absurd charges, to avoid the bad PR. So yeah, the cabbie has far more motive to lie than Patrick Kane has to kick his ass over 20 cents.

I would have a hard time admitting to getting my ass kicked by someone who's 5'8" 140lbs.

OJ had a motive, one of the oldest in human history.

Im 5'10 and I'd run your show

Yeah, I tend to think for a million bucks you might not be so proud.

If that were true it'd only be due to the fact retards have that crazy retard strength and you're off-the-charts retarded.

Gretz, because that's how the rich stay rich...they're cheap. Ever hear the stories of celebrities being awful tippers?

See, your logic is flawed.

[mack 44]

But so are Canadians and this Kane thing is going against the grain.

Jr I agree that you cant judge a persons character by the way they play on the ice, It was just a thought. I dont think that mcsourley is an ax murderer off the ice. You cant get me going though, because as you probally know by now, when you take something I say out of context I'll just keep going with it as if it's my strong belief for the sake of debate (http://www.modsquadhockey.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=45665&hl=toe+pulls)

And what has this cabbie done to lose his credibility? Do you know him personally? Has he wronged your family in any way? So far, all I know about this guy is that he is a cabbie.

Claimed that a guy that makes $875k a year kicked his ass for 20 cents.

Kane's lawyer(s) will be studying the interview video the cabbie did with the local new station. He claimed he did not know who Patrick Kane was, but he clearly mentioned his name and the way he came out with his story seemed a bit BS to me.

Not trying to jump to any conclusions/sides... but look at it from Kane's POV, he or his cousin probably asked for change inreturn, but the cabbie made a big fuss about it and probably insulted the two Kanes over $1.20 probably bitched about no tip. Add in alcohol, exhaustion, and irritation from lack of sleep (5am) and this is a recipe for confrontation.

regardless of how much $875,000 is, at age 20 I was pinching every bit I had :D

Well it said in one of the articles that cab drivers have a habit of "locking the doors" when they have college age kids in the car, to try and prevent someone ditching the fare. Don't have the full story yet, but if I'm a drunk Patty Kane and someone locks the doors and won't let me out of the cab, I might get a little freaked out. I mean, I'm a drunk Pat Kane, not a drunk Georges Laraque. Who knows? I'm interested in hearing the full story.

Stranger things have happened. Good thing lady justice doesn't check W-2's.

I read a story a while ago about Tiger Woods being an awful tipper and he's one of the richest (maybe the richest) athlete of all time.

Some celebs don't like parting with their cash even though they have a ton of it.

It seems that, from the Lawers statement, that the cabbie locked them in the cab? Cant do that....eventually it will end bad for the cabbie at some point. Maybe it already has.

Wonder what the witness had to say.

Sure he can do that. Its called theft prevention. Did you read the rest of the article that says cabbies have started doing this so college kids dont skip on the fare? Hell if i were a cab driver, or running any business that offered a product or service, i would do the same thing with some punk kids in the back.

The key is assessing the risk. Im sure patty kane didnt look like too much of a risk

[chippa13 1844]

Technically, I believe locking the kids in is against the law. Whether it is smart business for a cabbie is another thing entirely.

Of course it is. You cant falsley imprison someone because you think they might not pay you.

What the Cabbie and Lawyer ask for as a settlement will say a lot about what might have happened in this incident.
