News Jon Jones In Trouble for Supposedly Threatening to Kill Drug Tester (Updated with Video of 'Incident'.)

[FreedomCricket]

I don't think anyone saw this coming. Jones seems like such a good guy. Pretty shocking really.

I didn't read the 24+ pages, but I'm assuming you also didn't watch the video Jones posted on twitter.

 

[TrueBias]

Imagine being so threatened by someone you hug them and high five them on the way out and demand to call the cops a week later. Sherdog hates Jones so much this actually doesn’t sound fucking petty. Even with a video lol

Yep. And look at all the pussy boys jumping on the band wagon in the first pages.

"That's how you die" is not a threat. "I'm going to kill you" is a threat.

 

[CedricBee]

There is evidence of a crime: the woman’s testimony.

Her assistant (boyfriend) will provide testimony as well

See I didn’t read any mention of the 3rd person corroborating her story. And at this point her testimony pales in comparison to the footage that I saw. And I’m not at all for inserting the crime because it contradicts the burden of proof, the absence of which there should be no charges.

To be fair jones is at his freaking house like this is doing the right thing. You can be at your house intoxicated that’s kinda the responsible place to do that. The drug tests should have left if it was voidable. Now if jones let them in and then got violent or aggressive that’s on him but if he didn’t physically assault them this is not a crime. If someone is in your home and you tell them to leave that’s at worse rude but totally justified.

 

[CerebralKnievel]

He should have killed him.

Drug testers are a cancer to sports. If you made the choice to do that as a career, you deserve whatever is coming to you.

Seek psychological help. You're in need.

The crime in question occurred before the ring camera security footage. It was inside the house. The 2 events are not mutually exclusive

The woman may have felt less “threatened” as they were making their exit, but that doesn’t change that she felt “threatened” at the time of the incident.

 

[markg171]

Doesn’t matter if it ended friendly. Threatening someone’s life is against the law and she has the right to file charges. If anything, good on the workers for managing to de escalate the situation in order to get their job done and leave safely

He didn’t even threaten her per her own police report.

He allegedly said OTHER PEOPLE showing up uninvited like this wind up dead. He wasn’t talking about them.

He’s also correct that he’s allowed to kill home invaders seeing as New Mexico’s a castle doctrine state. Jon’s legally allowed to use lethal force on intruders in his home.

This is all a giant nothing burger and will go absolutely nowhere.

lol @ a corporate poster (markg171) making Jon Jones defense posts and adding videos to threads to squash the report

How much more obvious can it get...

Such a good corporate shill I didn’t even watch last night's shitty card.

10/10 though, go Apex Fight Nights.

I got you so her boss said don’t call the cops and she can provide no evidence of this even tho it would be a massive lawsuit yet it makes perfect sense to you. Well let me ask you this since I “continue to be wrong”? When have you rightfully seen someone allege a threat was made by a person, and he was visibly inebriated and video seems to show the exact opposite yet you continue concerning with such petty shit? Never huh? Well me fucking neither

I get the people not wanting to give Jon the benefit of the doubt given his history, but it’s wild to me people are still taking the story completely at face value despite the video.

Like disregarding the high five entirely, she claimed he was so intoxicated he thought it was early and not mid afternoon. The video shows he’s not shit faced at all. Literally nobody would even know he’s even been drinking here if he himself hadn’t admitted he was in the middle of celebrating a friends birthday. He seems completely fine, and hitting the high five just fine yes absolutely would count as proof he’s not as drunk as she’s claiming as any legal arguments would count it as demonstrating motor skills.

I don’t know know how you possibly can honestly still believe the story as is. At the very least you need to have scaled back to say there’s some elements of it that may be true, but the initial version is clearly horseshit.

A hi5 is proof someone isn't drunk?

I am not up to speed on this, but I do think it's funny that you think his state of drunkenness can be fairly determined by video of him ambling around with his ass crack hanging out and managing to land a crisp hi 5

He definitely doesn't look annihilated, but he could well be quite drunk based on this.

Is this when the assault supposedly took place? This seems pretty fishy. That certainly didn't look like an assault, verbal or physical.

 

[markg171]

That’s certainly what his lawyer his going to argue, and the prosecutor and judge will concede on it in his favour that his video showing his level of soberness beats her allegation of being super shitfaced.

This is supposed to be after it, which makes it all that much weirder that she wants to high five her assaulter.

Yeah body language doesn't seem to line up at all.

But, I suppose she could have been terrified and was trying to act cool to placate him for fear of pissing him off and being attacked

All that happened inside the house i think. This is just when they were leaving.

 

[Asahi]

Yep. And look at all the pussy boys jumping on the band wagon in the first pages.

Are you saying they just walked in without knocking the door or something?

There you go “blindly inserting the crime”; which contradicts the burden of proof, of which criminal charges should be based. That footage is better evidence than her word, until other footage or corroborating testimony becomes available. Her word < Footage that clearly contradicts an assault or reasonable fear of an assault taking place.

If we don’t start to act reasonably, any person can assume someone is guilty; and anything short of round the clock surveillance won’t exonerate the accused. It’s 2024 and accusers have no reasonable basis for behavior that overlaps with that of a liar. Shouldn’t one byproduct of “me too” be accusers pressing charges shortly after an incident? At this rate victim blaming will do away with due process.

We’re ignoring better evidence to blindly insert an assault or reasonable fear of an assault taking place!

It’s not criminal charge. It’s civil charge. Burden of proof is a preponderance of evidence.

Once the police come to arrest him, then it’s criminal charge, which burden of proof becomes beyond a reasonable doubt

Why you are so obsessed with shooting down accusations is beyond my capacity to understand. Maybe you don’t realize that Jon jones has an extensive criminal history…

Edit: just saw that jones was arrested. Okay so now criminal charge. Let’s see how it goes

They ruin fighters primes and abilities.

They ruin the best possible matchups because of this.

The sport stops evolving because fighters cant recover as fast to become phenoms.

All for what, to catch 0,01% of users while 100% of all fighters still use gear?

I am telling you Jones should have made the drug tester's children orphans.

Promoting murder of people doing their jobs and essentially doing nothing to negatively impact your life, but yeah, they're the problem - definitely not you, the mental midget.
