The way things work this could all be taking a spoon not belonging to him and telling the person don't leave or ill throw it in the garbage...which he did. Here comes another girlfriend flip out.
But my guess it's a tad more serious. JHC.
Well there's your other opening for 2019 we discussed.

The most ****ing Rutgers thing to ever happen. Knew things were going too well.
He seems like the nicest quietest kid. But guess you never know. Very unfortunate and if true he needs to face the consequences to the fullest extent of the law.

No excuses if true. That said, wondering if he’s been under a lot of pressure that finally got to him, emotionally.
And it's sudden less heinous that I was hoping he would move on and we could use the scholarship eslewhere.
How can this kid throw a punch? He's so skinny he would break.

it never ends with this program does it
This is sad and hard to believe. I have been to 13 practices this season and Issa has always been so nice.
it could sound worse than what it is actually is
but anyhow I doubt you see Issa here next year

Why would they arrest him, if he shot he’d probably miss anyway.
“All are disorderly, fourth or third degree charges.”
Wonder how it all plays out and whether if given a chance to return next year if charges are dropped. Doesn’t seem like the profile of person everyone knew. Can’t rush to judgment but anything is possible.
GO RU

Very sad and shocking. Hopefully for Issa it isn't as bad as it sounds.
Nope BUT if girlfriend related given what I perceive as his ultra sensitivity on court...I can see it now. Possible overreach stretch on my part.
I'm not saying anything like a bad kid. I feel really bad right now. Complicated world. Wake me up.
Must have poster on ignore. That comment supports my position.
Combined with the weapons charge, not great.
Although I'm guessing it isn't a gun? Because otherwise it'd say that.
And tampering with evidence could be the incident was recorded and he tried to delete it.
I'm sure we'll get the full story soon, and if I know anything about Rutgers, there'll be an unexpected twist that makes it even worse.

“Terroristic threats” is a third degree crime in New Jersey, which means you can be punished with up to 3-5 years in prison and fines of up to $15,000 if you are convicted of this offense. This has become a very common crime in New Jersey, and cases are typically based on one person's word against another's.
Get the details. There are no legal mole hills in NJ. Keeps the legal money meters spinning. If there are 7 charges, 2 might stick and get contested.
