Former UFC Champion Cain Velasquez sentencing this Monday

[Rational Poster]

I do get it.

What Cain did was wildly inappropriate. He deserves about 10 years followed by 20 years of probation.

What Harry Goularte is accused of is sadistic. If he's convicted he deserves to finish out his life in prison.

The reason he pled no contest is to avoid the civil liability of permanently disabling an innocent bystander.

If Cain’s son doesn’t get molested again, Cain doesn’t shoot anyone else again. Give him a year and call it a day.

He shot the wrong person, Cain an idiot and should spend a long time i jail

Cain sentencing is coming up this Monday.



Cain sounding contrite and insightful but also sounding cognitively damaged. Listen to his speech.



Again, listen to him talk in old interviews and then listen to him talk here. He has the same kind of disconnected phrasing that Tito does.

It's quite clear that the emotional dysregulation and impulsivity commonly caused by brain injury was on full display during this incident. I was hoping he was given a stiff prison sentence for putting people in danger in the way that he did. After hearing him talk, I'm actually more sympathetic. I could see a shorter stint in jail and some mandated long-term mental health treatment that pulls him to prison automatically if he doesn't continue to attend it. I know he has a fair amount of time served already.

The troubling thing is, not everyone goes unhinged with social media rants or shooting rampages. There are probably a lot of older MMA fighters suffering in silence with brain injury symptoms.

It should be interesting to see what the court rules on Monday the 24th.

It appears that he's taking responsibility for what he did. Trump, pardon the damn man asap.

That would actually have to be Gavin Newsome since it's a state crime.

Really? I thought the president could pardon anybody he wanted to.

The president can pardon for federal crimes. State crimes fall only under state and local governments, so the president cannot pardon those crimes. It's part of the autonomy that states are supposed to have from the federal government.

Interesting I didn’t know that. Thanks.

This all happened because some sexually assaulted his kid at day care, right?

Just trying to provide a little accurate context here.

Free Cain!!

 

[TRYHARD 2001]

Apparently is a four-letter word here.

I guess it is everywhere, really.

The censorship on here is wild!

phile for the win?

 

[Lord Pyjamas]

Could have put a bullet through two children's brains.
But will probably get a slap on the wrist instead.
Because big man got agitated.
Only a needy little cunt does something like that!

He may get something like that. He would do about 2 years in that case because he has done a year already and would get some time off for good behavior.

Yes, but he also fired shots in public in a crazy high-speed chase that could have killed a lot of other people. He acknowledges his mistakes and their possible consequences in the video.

The extreme high-stress event was too much for him to be able to process with his brain injury. He reacted impulsively, lost control.

Bizarre story, a pro fighter using a gun while he can easily deliver blows
