Who's logic is in question here?

Actually it was just conspiracy. Pre-meditated and he'd more than likely be on death row or serving a life term.

Either way beating on a chick isn't just a sweep it under the rug and keep on with your career type of incident.

If he didn't do it, he didn't do it and that's fine. And for the sake of keeping all things fair here, I never said he DID do anything or that he should be charged for anything. So you can step off your high horse as if you're the only person on this thread not calling for his head.

But I'm sure if it was your mother or sister he was accused of beating on, you wouldn't be as okay with him just going about his business as if nothing happened.

You are really all over the place with this. My mother and sister wouldn't be wasted and calling the cops on Merriman.

And wtf does Rae Carruth have to do with any of this? (btw he should have gotten the death penalty)

Says who? I mean how old is that chick really. 25 or something? Young and dumb, you get wasted and shit happens. Regardless of if she actually did get beat up or not, you can't say you wouldn't be angry and concerned at first. That's the whole point. Maybe it's because I'm a female, but I get the whole situation.

And if she was tanked out of her mind, why would the cops just go arrest him? If you have some drunk hostile chick and some guy trying to calm her down, the cops go arrest the dude? Police = Idiots.

And Rae Carruth had an off the field problem. Why not (if he wasn't so old when he gets released) put him back on the field? He was projected to have a pretty nice career before he screwed it up.

Well I am a male and I know that if a woman calls the police and claims that the man did something, they are going to take him in most of the time whether there is physical evidence or not. Look what happened to Kobe.

There needs to be consequences for these nutjobs that use the system to their advantage.

Here is what we all know about the incident. There was alcohol involved on both ends. TMZ confirmed that.

I can agree with that. The justice system is all sorts of messed up unfortunately.

But if it is proven Merriman didn't do anything and they hauled him off, couldn't he sue the county police department or something? Isn't that some sort of infraction/law against arresting someone wrongfully? If so, I'd hope he do it..

Look at the gentleman's post above.

I was wondering why this was a citizen's arrest and he explained it perfectly. That really hurts her credibility in my opinion.

Law Enforcement officers have a tuff job trying to figure out who is the suspect or victim sometimes in domestic violence cases.

I think we need to wait and see. The cops went there, they arrested and booked him. He was in a cell for several hours. If it was as simple as Merriman said, I agree with DRave, then the police were idiots (been known to happen).

Maybe he was doing the good thing and keeping her from driving, maybe not. Do you expect him to put out a statement saying I beat her and kept her against her will with no obvious mitigating explanation?

Let's let the system play itself out. If he's innocent then hopefully the system will work right, and this will be nothing more than a blip on the radar.

We do, and I made an off the cuff comment when this thread popped up yesterday, and I shouldn't have.

I've seen Shawne Merriman in person. The guy is a monster. Tila skankbucket is tiny, especially in comparison to him. If he choked her and pushed her around or struck her, she would have bruises or marks to show for it. Paramedics were called, they examined her, and found nothing.

Like you said, we have to wait, but after reading a few articles about this, I'd say a drunken overreaction but Ms. Tequila.

He choked her alright, with his "Soul Pole". The Dr. should do a throat X-ray.

I could swear that I was on the Warpath. Did I wander into a Penthouse forum by mistake?

i seen merriman in person too, stood next to him. i was surprised how small he looked and wondered how the hell does he play linebacker in the nfl. this was a few months after the roid suspension.

he was very nice when i saw him, very reserved in a situation i would have probably lost my cool.

ps he did have a tall blond older escort lady with him. looked like a straight up high class escort.

heard the chargers have a file on all their players off field habits, merrimans is said to be large.

go skins!!

He's not 6'1". His measured height at the NFL combine (which is statistically obsessed) is 6'4". See it here. I've stood next to the man. I'm 6'3" and he was definitely a bit taller.

What kind of beast are you then? I'm not a small dude at all, but I sure felt that way standing next to this guy:
