I heard about this and didn't think it was true. But kudos to Kingston Police Force for using new media/web 2.0 tools! I'm posting this to my facebook profile to see if anyone knows anything.

I'm happy that they caught the guy who assaulted the viticum. I'm hoping he will get better soon. My prays and thoughts are with him and his family and friends.

That may be so, but the 'street rules' and the law are two different things. You can consent to fight somebody, but you cannot consent to be injured. So, though it takes two people to engage in a 'consensual' fight, both have to accept responsibility for damages or injuries caused by their actions. It may seem unfair, but it protects people who have diminished capacity. Mackenzie McDonald caused injuries to a fellow citizen. For that he has been charged and convicted.

I'm struggling with the "good people make bad decisions" concept. People are so quick to argue that he didn't intend to injure the guy. When you choke somebody to the point of passing out and then drop their head on a tile floor, you're responsible for the results. Furthermore, that defines you (at least at that moment) as a 'bad' person. His inability to act rationally in an impromptu conflict makes him a danger to society. The jury did their job. What's a fair sentence?

@anthony68drake Yeah, his whiteness probably had a lot to do with it.

I am glad homecoming was shut down and I'm glad this weekend wasn't like the last five before it. I cannot tell you how many times I saw situations during homecoming that so easily could have turned out like this one. People who live here have been afraid to go out on that weekend or to work outside on the streets around the university at times. Good job Kingston police and those who came in here to help out!!!

Whats the story behind this video? Did this kid just randomly put this guy in a choke hold? The biggest critisim of MMA for me is all these people that watch these events on television or go to shows think there instantly experts on some of the grappling techniqes that they see. Choke holds are very dangerous. Thats why alot of police organizations have forbidden there officers from using them. This particular hold that this dumb ass is appliying can kill someone in under 15 seconds.
