Report: Arenas and Crittenton Pulled Guns on Each Other

if these dudes had bodyguards & PR people (like Jordan), stuff like this wouldnt happen. I’m sure 111 mil can buy a lot of damage control. Heck, I’m sure Javaris’s contract can buy damage conrol.

Another case of the “ABM”. Angry black millionaire

wouldnt b surprised if they get banned the rest of the season or something on some ron artest sh*t…or some mike vick ish…..

If Arenas doesn’t get a seasons ban 4 this, it’ll B stupid, i don’t even no Y people can buy guns in the US

ABM! LMFAO

Shizzle’s post at 10:05am is pretty much the rub to me. Assume the Post has made up the story about guns being brandished. Assume that the only part of the story that is true is that Arenas was storing unloaded guns in a locked compartment in his locker, which has been confirmed by the Wizards and Arenas, agreeing he used “poor judgment”. Well, what possible excuse can he have for doing that? None. It is inexcusable. He couldn’t have bought two separate safes at his house, stored his guns in one, the ammo in another? If Arenas is guilty only of what has been admitted to, then a lengthy suspension and fine can be expected from Stern, if not the Wizards.

And if the rest of the story is all garbage, as has been mentioned, how did the Wizards find out about Arenas’ guns in his locker? Did he forget his combination and need the janitor to come and open it for him? Also, you can joke all you like about the credibility of ‘Bookie Ball’, but aside from his statement, there would be no mention of Crittenton. If he really wanted to make something up, why not make something up that doesn’t get his friend in deep trouble?

One more point. Arenas is still on the books for what, four years and $80 million? Something tells me the Pollins and the Wizards front office wouldn’t be too devastated if his contract were voided.

@JonnyC “my country wouldnt exist if the right to bear arms never existed.”
Not real sure about the accuracy of your national history.

i herd some really dum things from gilbert but by for the strangest thing to pull a gun on each other about how much they owed each other. long story short this is just stupid.

why do ppl always try to take our guns away? anytime someone mentions guns there are stupid ppl cryin about…’oh we are so barbaric!’ ‘ohh we be shootin n killin everybody’ people are funny…lol. but anyways…arenas…’u know u done f*cked up riite?’ lol

We always knew Arenas was a shoot-first point guard. (I can’t believe nobody beat me to that one)

@Gametime – in regards to your 10:37 post: the right to bear arms in America comes from the British laws of the time restricting American colonials from owning any weapons other than hunting rifles. The Brits knew trouble was brewing in the colonies and didn’t want to have to fight against a pissed off and well-armed populace, so they attempted to restrict weapon ownership. They hoped that their soldiers would be the best-armed and most disciplined force and would whip butt if a revolution started. What they didn’t take into consideration was that many colonial civilians had loads of rifles and short guns hidden under floor boards and haystacks getting ready for ish to jump off. When the American Revolution concluded with the Brits saying “Damn, we might have won this thing if the French hadn’t stuck their noses in”, and rolled out, the framers of the new Constitution wanted to make sure that there were armed and trained militias to call on should the Brits ever come back. At this point in time, with the best professional military in the world, needing well-armed civilians seems a little unnecessary.

Who the hell is Javaris Crittenton?

@Gametimeweezy: You said it yourself. The freedom wasn’t given to you. The ‘right to bear arms’ was established in the constitution, which was only laid down after the revolution. If Americans had relied upon a constitutionally established right, the revolution would never have happened.
Ergo, claiming that the ‘right to bear arms’ is cause of the existence of the USA is just totally wrong.
The cultural impact of the perception that it is, however, is fairly obvious in this article and the comments in this post.

@litetitan – since the term “shoot first point guard” is thrown around a great deal to describe scoring point guards like Arenas, I made the reference using the specific term “shoot first point guard”. I did not say that I was the first one to reference Arenas shooting a lot while comparing it to the issue with guns. If that’s what you took from my statement, then I suggest you learn to read.
Everyone who posts here that is at least functionally literate, raise your hand. I don’t mean to start any fights. First we’ll raise our hands, then we’ll fight.

@Mike C and Dave. good points. well u actually proved MY points, but anyways. i never said the right to bear arms caused americas existence. i was jus sticking up for my rights. we cant have guns anymore because of dumb ass ppl like arenas? yea right

it was for $60,000

@MikeC – So your endeavouring to say, in a fashion that your reference/joke/pun about Arenas and the SPECIFIC phrase ‘we always knew he was a shoot first point guard’ was new in that no one made that specific comment. Thats true, sure enough – BUT the meaning of the pun had well and truly been established and my simple dig was at the late timing of your quip. If you think I need to learn to read your sorely mistaken.
