reckless endangerment ftw

Might fit the actions. But do you think the police department would take it seriously? Would a DA prosecute?

"Did he throw the chip rack at you?"
"No"
"When slammed like that, do racks always shatter into dangerous shards?"
"No"
"Usually? Sometimes? Rarely?"
"Rarely"

1. What are you going to charge him with?
2. A tort lawyer would laugh at you, after charging you $150 for listening to your pathetic case.

[/ QUOTE ]

You aren't going to charge him with anything. The state is. Use a legal dictionary--this is absolutely battery. The individual acted in a way that intentionally or criminally negligently caused an unwanted, harmful touching to someone else. In many states, it would be aggravated battery, because of the inherent dangerousness of shattering the rack.

As for the comment about a personal injury lawyer, that's a completely separate issue, and the poster didn't say anything about suing the guy. Since you did, I'll let you know that you're wrong there, too. If the person hit with the shard was hurt (or damaged in any other way), he'd absolutely have a case against both the angry guy and the casino.

We get Angry Asian Guy types all the time, and I wish they were ejected a lot more than they are.

I don't think the OP meant for the man's race to take on any relevance in this thread.

He didn't and it doesn't, but this was how he was identified. 'Angry Asian Guy' is a metaphor here representing any player that acts in this fashion.

Also, lol @ pressing charges and filing lawsuits... goodgrief I think you're just a TAD unrealistic about how the legal system works. Any prosecutor would laugh you out of his office, and filing civil suits because something hit you and did no damage is petty.

Which cardroom made this 14k settlement, BTW? If this is true I'm pretty sure there were other circumstances involved.

Assault and battery. It's a criminal offense, look it up. They don't have those in California? I'd be mighty surprised. If you guys want to lay down and take it when you're struck in the eye, then don't pretend you have yarbles. Actually, I just spoke to a man who received $14,000 from the card room in a similar case, to settle his suit, so maybe some people just have better attorneys than you do. For sure if you're too cowardly to report to the police when you're struck in the face, then you will continue to be bullied there and elsewhere in your life.

[/ QUOTE ]

LOL at this. You may be right legally, but I don't really accept the concept that calling the police and suing the guy demonstrates my gigantic yarbles.

[jacksquat]

how about this...angry guy breaks rack...shard of plastic hits my face...nobody working for casino does anything...angry guy gets his head planted into the floor. problem solved!

[csuf_gambl0o0r]

don't rock the boat homies.

[Sp00n]

Please don't stop the angry Asian gambler types from coming to play live, they are my bread and butter.

Another reason I like playing at Canterbury. This guy would have been ejected the first time he threw his cards at the dealer.
