LaMichael James arrested for alleged domestic violence
According to Addicted To Quack, Oregon Running Back LaMichael James has been arrested early this morning for alleged domestic violence. Read more here:
The Lane County Sheriff's Office website lists James' charges as strangulation, Assault 4 and menacing.
Apparently, all three charges are misdemeanors, which seems odd to me. Nonetheless, given the legal miasma surrounding Oregon QB Jeremiah Masoli earlier this year, this does not reflect well upon Chip Kelly's squad up there.

Maybe joining the Ducks is like a gang initiation, where you have to commit some sort of felony in order to truly be accepted into the group…

Apparently, there was a recent attempt to make strangulation a felony in Oregon. From a Google search:
Perhaps the single most glaring example of legislative discrimination currently on the books is Oregon House Bill 2770, which was originally set to make strangulation a felony. It was stripped of this provision ostensibly "because of the cost." It is a mere misdemeanor to strangle someone, so long as they eventually regain consciousness.
This may or may not be the official language from the Oregon statutes:
A person commits the crime of strangulation if the person knowingly impedes the normal breathing or circulation of the blood of another person by:
(a) Applying pressure on the throat or neck of the other person; or
(b) Blocking the nose or mouth of the other person.
(2) Subsection (1) of this section does not apply to legitimate medical or dental procedures or good faith practices of a religious belief.
(3) Strangulation is a Class A misdemeanor. [2003 c.577 §2]

Bee Tee Dibbzle, they couldn’t make strangulation a felony, because of the cost? How many people are getting strangled up there in Oregon? That’s crazy!

It is well known that Oregon is a lawless anarchy where order only comes as a result of everyone’s pacifism.

But (a) could be choking or strangulation, depending on where pressure is applied. Choking blocks air flow, strangulation blocks blood flow! Just like in football, technique is so important!
and (b) is clearly suffocation.
Clearly, Oregon lawmakers never studies martial arts! Come on people, get specific!!

What is “menacing”, exactly? And strangulation? Really? Is it really that hard not to choke a bitch? Seems you gotta be really out of control to do that…
Oregon seems to be fast becoming the new U of Miami… Minus the titles…
I’m not saying, I’m just saying…

Being menacing?
I thought the green police were strict…

To get a menacing charge, James probably told the police that he has Phil Knight on speed dial as he was getting cuffed.

Section 163.190 of the Oregon Revised Statutes provides:
(1) A person commits the crime of menacing if by word or conduct the person intentionally attempts to place another person in fear of imminent physical injury.
(2) Menacing is a Class A misdemeanor.

James has been charged with assault-4, which is a misdemeanor that carries a potential one-year prison term, as well as with strangulation and menacing, both misdemeanors.
According to Sgt. Tom Borchers of the Springfield Police Department, James was taken into custody Tuesday, a day after getting into a fight with his girlfriend.
James’ girlfriend, according to the police report, said the running back grabbed her around the neck and pushed her to the ground. She complained of pain to her neck and of abrasions from being pushed down in a parking lot.
It is not the first arrest for James, a 20-year-old from Texarkana, Texas, who was a redshirt freshman in the 2009 season. James was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and third-degree battery in June 2008, just prior to arriving in Eugene.
Those charges, stemming from a fight involving rival high schools, were dismissed in July of 2009.

LaMichael needs to learn proper stiff arm technique. It is a push, not a grab.

Not even Lache Seatrunk can fix the further damage to our reputation.
Sigh.

No, but he can continue your incredible stretch of running backs getting in trouble. We want some variety. How about a white collar crime, Lache?

Meh,
I just cannot see a guy like Seastrunk operating a Ponzi Scheme, cutting checks, or extorting money from someone.
But you never know. Always hope for the best (or worst?)!

"But it only takes five future unabombers to take what should be a 400-comment thread and turn it into a 1,200-comment one full of anger… anger I suspect has more to do with the fact that they can’t land the hot chick rather than the fact that we signed Aubrey Huff instead of gave Garko a chance after dealing away a supposedly valuable prospect for him." -mlb22

Wait, Gregory’s gone. Holy crap! Where did that come from!
(Yeah, wrong thread, I know, but there’s 429+ comments over there, so I’m just hoping to get a couple of replies to give me a summary of everyone’s feelings on the matter here)
unrealistic Cal fans: Woohoo!

It seems like it’s kind of late for us to go out and find a good D coordinator, don’t you think? At least for this season.
