Dude has some brass...
Thank you all very much for your birthday wishes! I had a great day and a great birthday dinner (T-bone steak)!
God bless,
Jim
To ALL, let’s get this Freepathon over before Thanksgiving and double the contributions. Robinson family needs help due to health issues.
Since the band is representing the school and team could the said team/school get punished?
Or only if the band member attacked the other school’s band or team member?
When you are performing, the place you are standing is your stage. No one from off stage violates your stage area.
Some examples of fighting words include racial slurs, insults about someone’s religion or sexual orientation, threats of violence, personal insults or attacks, and profanity directed at someone.
That said, this Tuba man had a weak first punch.
RIP Edward McMichael

What video did you watch? Surely the band member went to the venue planning to punch someone huh?
You understand talk is not equal to violence?
The guy was a harassing band member verbally but he didn’t touch him. Assault is illegal, verbally yelling at someone isn’t. The yelling jerk never got closer than a few feet, he never did anything that could reasonably be construed as a threat to the tuba players life. That’s the law.
Especially representing his school.
Big band swing music. Played some good notes.
This one goes to the top of the School Band Hits chart.
Not the way it’s supposed to happen but yeah I guess you are correct.
Hey Phyoenix8...your or anyone else try that with me and you’ll be trying to pull your head out of your ass.
I wonder what the girl’s name is that this altercation was all about...
Either that or the guy yelling was the second string tuba player..
Not being picky but I think that was a Sousaphone.
Ahhhhhhh. Good pun. Why I like FR
😂😂
Ohhh tough guy.
I would take my chances in a court of law. Battery is touching. Assault is the yelling. They are paired as Assault & Battery.
Assault is usually a physical contact. It can be classified as such if it “violates a persons personal space or is threatening”.
Like I said before he never got closer than a few feet, not sure that’s personal space and we couldn’t hear what he was yelling.
It COULD be assault if he was saying “YOU SUCK IM GOING TO RIP YOUR HEAD OFF YOUR SHOULDERS”
But what if he was yelling ‘YOU HIT THE WRONG NOTE THERE, HOW MANY TIMES SO I HAVE TO TELL YOU ITS A C NOTE”.
In the second case it’s clearly not a physical threat so not assault.
Bringing back the old hit parade...
