RearNaked

This is basically what it boils down to. Jones is just an unintelligent person. He needs people like Jackson and a publicist to take care of him because he's not capable of taking care of himself. He lacks the necessary skills.

This actually isn't true. The whole training=deadly weapon originated with boxing promoters. They'd have a "cop" show up at a press conference and certify one fighter's hands as a deadly weapon. In truth there are only like 3 states that can even classify training as a deadly weapon and not one of them has ever prosecuted someone on that basis.

In the eyes of the law assault is assault. You may get a harsher sentence because of your training but it will still be the same crime random guy A off the street gets charged with. I learned all of this the fun way.

Ape City

Getting into a fight with a strip club security guard when I was 17 and boxing regularly. I wasn't trying to get in to the club - not that anyone except for those who know of this strip club will believe that. Words were exchanged and he decided to try and prove how hardass he was. I beat him down pretty bad and the whole time the cops are there he was ranting about how it was assault with a deadly weapon cause I was a boxer. I was 17 and didn't know any better so I was scared shitless... until the cops took me into the private interview room and showed me security footage showing him attacking me first, laughing at him getting beaten down, and then explaining how the whole assault with a deadly was bullshit.

After letting me sit in a holding cell for 6 hours. Dicks.

Hope this is not true. I think a lot of the things that Jones has done can be justified and to a small part so can this but it just sounds so bad. Jones is still an awesome fighter but this just sounds foolish and something he will regret for a while.
