Ex-NHL player Adam Johnson, 29, dies after getting his neck slashed by a skate :picard:

It looks like he tried to do something I'm sure it wasn't to kill but that's what happened so

It was reckless, which led to someone's death. That's textbook manslaughter.

Saw the video to this. There isn't really any reason why he brought his leg up high other than to Liu Kang that other player. I'm sure he didn't try to kill him but damn.

This is tough. Not sure I can get behind the manslaughter charge here. Playing hockey, it looked like it wasn't natural, but I don't know. That's really tough to charge someone with manslaughter for that.

Every player on the rink has 2 weapons on his feet at all times.

NBA players can't even play with rings or earrings

It's the UK and it is a sport they don't really play or understand.

Several people have died there in boxing and they never arrested their opponents.

Just a couple of days ago, one player cut another teammate in practice with his skate, causing a major cut to his quad muscle.

Kraken's Eberle suffers skate cut to leg in practice

Seattle's Jordan Eberle sustained a leg injury when he was cut by a skate blade Wednesday.

He could have been cut across his femoral artery, which could have killed him like it almost killed this guy, also cut across the leg by a teammate in practice:

Jets' Redmond has surgery for cut artery in leg

Winnipeg Jets rookie defenseman Zach Redmond has undergone surgery to repair a laceration to an artery in his right leg after a teammate accidentally stepped on him during the club's morning skate on Thursday.

The injury occurred near the end of practice when Redmond tripped and landed on his back. The teammate then stepped on Redmond with his skate, opening a sizeable wound in Redmond's mid-thigh region -- cutting the femoral artery.

Imagine if that was on video, stepping on a teammate ... the way y'all calling this intentional would call that.

 

[Born2BKing]

That looked intentional tbh

 

[BaggerofTea]

Cant imagine many times your skates would need to leave the ice

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Looked intentional. Let the court decide his fate.

 

[supertrekker]

He's black, of course they were gonna arrest him.

Ya cause swinging a sharp object to someones neck is legal in most countries.

 

[old pig]

seems like they’re ensuring he’ll never play again…don’t see him trying to get back on the ice even if he’s not convicted

Yup.

Right wing twitter has got a hold of it. You already know how that goes.

Spoiler

These cacs are unhinged.

Instead of thinking that's why they arrested him. Why not ask why his name was never made public in the media even though he's a grown ass man and there's video of him doing it while wearing a jersey with his name and number on it. Oh and there's video of him doing this shyt in the past

Well deserved.

Wow so this was intentional. This makes it more sad to jeae. Smh
