Ask the woman that he rough up how many ways she loved that jerk.

Add me to the list that says the best thing about him is that he's gone.

Wallace had a post game?

Ah, another Sheed thread.

Love him (as I did) or hate him, he mattered, as these threads attest.

Yes, he mattered in the same way that terrorism, inner city blight, and cancer matter.

You're disgusting!

Sheed's anger toward authority is a liberal vs. conservative issue. Link to the event with a woman?

 

[SnakeOiler]

Rasheed threw game 7. No other explaination.

This isn't the incident I was talking about, but similar:

April,1996 - Rasheed Wallace was accused of choking the mother of his child, Chiquita Lynette Bryant while visiting her and his child over Easter weekend. But prosecution was deferred when Wallace apologized in court and agreed to perform 50 hours of community service and seek counseling.

The incident I was referring to used to be in Wiki. It isn't there any more. It was a different woman, and Wallace pleaded no contest to roughing her up. He got community service. I linked that story several times over the years.

Wallace was a talented putz.

EDIT: I knew there was a reason I didn't want to link to the Bryant episode. He was found not guilty on those charges.

I'll look for a link, but it seems to have been scrubbed.

^ shaky claims.

Rasheed was a natural dickhead. But, a woman beater, he was not.

He was on trial for blocking the ex-girlfriend with his car? No mention of actually injuring her. It was at the 1-year-old's daycare, so it looks like he was trying to see his baby.

It happened in April, Bob Whitsitt traded Strickland and Grant for him July 15, and he was found not guilty in September. It looks like we can thank the legal charge for temporarily devaluing him.

As I recall, he fought his ex- for custody of said baby and won. What does that say?

I finally had some time to do some seaching. I had it sorta right in the first place...

The attorney for basketball star Rasheed Wallace says a second assault charge against his client in the past two months is an attempt to frame Wallace. Wallace, a former North Carolina star now playing for the Washington Bullets, was charged with simple assault after he allegedly blocked Chiquita Bryant's car in at the day-care center Thursday and refused to let her leave. "It's another case of misunderstanding," James D. "Butch" Williams, Wallace's lawyer, said Friday. "Mr. Wallace was set up. This was not of his own doing. He was only trying to exercise his court-ordered visitation rights with his child. We intend to vigorously defend against this charge." If convicted of the charge, Wallace could face again an earlier assault charge filed in April of assaulting Bryant. Prosecution on that charge was deferred for a year after Wallace apologized in court and agreed to perform 50 hours of community service and to seek counseling for his anger.

There were two instances with Ms. Bryant. He pretty much copped a plea to the first charge.

It tells me that Wallace has a ton of money, and Ms. Bryant doesn't. What does it tell you?

It tells me that the evil legal system automatically gives the child to the mother, supporting her with welfare, while the father has to fight for his life to avoid committing suicide over never seeing the children he loves.

We actually fight wars to impose our system upon other nations. We actually kill and torture large numbers of people to make them accept our legal system. Hard to believe.
