Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Hockey death....homicide? What say you?

Haven't see this posted here...

Have never seen such a deliberately dangerous play in any sport, ever. In an instant a gallon of blood on the ice and sweater.
Murder? Manslaughter? Accident? Unbelievably, some are actually calling this a 'collision' ....an accident.

It looks to me to be absolutely without question intentional! I believe he should be charged!

Intentional
Premeditated
Fatal

What’s the question?

WTBS. I believe he meant to kick, hit him. Not necessarily kill him though. Still should be charged.
Much like a baseball player sliding and trying to “cleat” the bag holder.

X says “ video not available “.

Has it been taken down

I thought the kick looked intentional too.

A Canadian goon that was playing in Europe for a reason. He was trouble on this side of the pond too. He should be in jail right now.

Yeah, your legs just dont do that out of the blue

Hockey players should be very good at controlling where their feet go in such circumstances.

I've seen clips of this in slow motion and the kick was definitely intentional. Leg comes up and then strikes out towards his head/neck. Like throwing a meat cleaver at someone and "accidentally" slitting their throat.

I don't know if he has martial arts training, but that was a classic karate side kick. He did it on purpose. He should be criminally charged.
It is a fluke, at that high sped of skating that he hit him in the neck and cut the carotid artery.

Negros will find a way to kill no matter what the situation. Put a sharp blade on his foot and he will karate kick with it.

Yes, that's murder. When assault with a deadly weapon results in predictable death, that's what you call it. When you act intentionally to bring about severe bodily injury and the result is death, that's murder.

He can't claim as a defense that every player assumes the risk of injury during play, because a karate kick to the throat with a bladed foot isn't part of hockey.

Disgusting. I hope the guy gets charged and convicted. He clearly intended severe injury.

Yep,manslaughter at least,looks like assault and battery that led to a fatality,I think u call that Murder, unless ur a democrat.

I haven't seen it and apparently all versions of the video have disappeared from the web. I've read that police are seriously investigating it so we might be hearing a lot more about it.

That was no accident, he did it with intent.

I had no problem viewing the one posted above.

Scratch that. I must have viewed it just before they removed it. It's gone now.

Just saw it on twitter, still out there. Travesty that the young man died, the instigator should face manslaughter at the very least. Actual murder may not have been premeditated, but the act was.

Manslaughter would be if he punched him, causing him to fall and break his neck. In this case, he intentionally raised a bladed foot to his neck/head area with an energetic kick (thus bringing about precisely the sort of physical harm that a rational and reasonable person would anticipate), which sort of action the law presumes is calculated to cause severe bodily injury or death. That's sufficient intent for a murder charge.

RamZPaul gets it right.
