Perk facing charges for allegedly punching a woman

[Endless Paradise]

What evidence does this party have against Perkins? I need to know wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more before I pass judgement. For all we know this group is just looking for a little cash flow. This case has already been dismissed once...

Speaking for only myself, calling someone who is a celebrity an idiot for being party to any kind of confrontation that would trigger such a report isn't 'having something against them', it's just merely stating facts.

Edit: Yeah misread your post. Coupled with the meme above I kinda glazed over the part where you said 'this party' and not 'you guys'

Eh, I don't know if I'd say idiot.  A celebrity can't really go anywhere without the risk of some kind of confrontation.  A celebrity can do absolutely nothing (which may be exactly what Perkins did) and still be accused.  Especially since people know if they start something with you, they can get paid.

I mean what started all this was a fender bender.  If it's Perkins car, you're supposed to get out and exchange insurance info and assess the damage and what not right?

But Perkins is trying to keep a low profile, stays in the car, then the women start fighting.  Reluctantly he gets out of the car to break up the fight.  Then this happens:



That's possible, right?

Just based on what we have so far, he was in a public place and a fight broke out, doesn't mean he's an idiot in my opinion (I mean there's a decent chance he is, but we can't be certain of it).  While not a good headline, I don't know if "Kendrick Perkins cousin beaten to death as Perkins sits idly by and watches" is any better.  Unless you wanted him to pull an Alexian Lien.

Well said.  I'm not going to call the guy an idiot just because he was involved in a confrontation when I don't even know the entire story.  I've been jumped at a club before simply because some guy got upset with a friend of mine.  If I were a celebrity, I'd somehow be an idiot despite the fact that it was entirely provoked by the other party?  Hardly fair at all.

Innocent til proven guilty.

The cynic in me, when reading this part:

Ja’Keenan Cotton recognized Perkins and Alpough, according to court documents.

immediately imagined Cotton with a bubble over his head flashing "$$$$$".

i was actually in that club that night, rondo and perkins were there...and these charges look like bull crap..actually met perk and rondo that night..Perk seems like a friendly dude..rondo looked a little gassed and ready to leave the club..

  while I can't vouch for the above post, I know someone who's met Perk on occasion and from what I've heard he's very polite and respectful when he's off the court.

Obviously, none of us know what actually happened that night, but I just want to point out that being polite and respectful doesn't really mean anything, when it comes to these charges.  There are plenty of people who are polite and respectful...until they lose their temper.

  Agreed, I was just pointing out that his on the court demeanor wasn't at all like his (typical) off court demeanor based on everything I've heard.

I bet he was drinking Hennessy and listening to that rap music, too.

Celebrities are targets for some outlandish claims.  A lot of them are blatant lies.  Sometimes they are true, though.  Barkley use to get in some bar fights in his day.
