From the initial reports I've read, someone allegedly tried to take a pic of him at church. If this is the case, whoever it was was wrong.
He may be Kobe, but in a place of worship he deserves privacy.
This is just based off of what I've read thus far.
In a perfect setting, I guess I wouldn't have hurt the man's wrist. but still the man was the initiator here - allegedly.
I agree people shouldn't take pictures of others at church -- it should be off-limits -- but assaulting somebody at church seems to be worse. I mean, if Christ asks us to turn the other cheek when slapped, I'm sure he'd suggest the same thing when our photo is being taken.
Also:
Bryant reportedly thought the man was taking photos of him and his wife but saw no photos after inspecting the phone.
This isn't a huge deal, but it's a pretty stupid way to behave.
Well there was that time when Jesus flipped tables with tons of money all over the place and made a whip to use against the bankers in the temple, while screaming at them that they were dishonoring his father's house.
What kind of idiot pulls out a cell phone in church for whatever reason (other than maybe an emergency worker who is usually in the back, and then of course there's always the guy who "forgot" to turn his cell off)? If his wrist is broken maybe he learns a lesson he needed to learn.
And Kobe....he wasn't taking pictures of you. Now apologize, pay the guy's medical bills and tell him he shouldn't be whipping out a cell phone in church like an adhd teenage boy.
