News Article: Jacques & Nathan Beaulieu each charged with 2 counts of assault

[Marc the Habs Fan]

I don't get it. How could Nathan be in a dust up in his hometown when he's with the Habs?

This reportedly happened on Saturday, the Hamilton call-ups came into town yesterday only.

 

[Shaun Daigle]

Assault is not battery. It means he said something threatening, he didn't hit anyone. And he was only charged, not convicted.

Assault in the Criminal Code of Canada refers to any unwanted physical contact.

Saying something threatening is called, believe it or not, Uttering Threats.

You're right about there being no conviction yet.

Finally some habs prospects with a little truculence and pugnacity... and it runs in the family too!

 

[KingGallagherXI]

Finally someone with a mean streak

"Mean streak" is like Larry Robinson or Chris Chelios, not criminal violence

 

[Wats]

Underrated fighter.

 

[deandebean]

I want the whole story, not just some police report junk.

 

[DekeLikeYouMeanIt]

Finally we get a brawler

 

[hototogisu]

Hope it's nothing serious, the article makes it sound like it could be...

 

[ROEN]

No accusations and not charged as per Monday night ... All of a sudden twitter is saying Beaulieu Senior has been charged. A bit confused.

[Toro]

there is not much info to go on here...

sounds like over blown bs to me

 

[beowulf]

Meh why speculate I'll wait and see where this ends up going.

 

[Stoneburg]

FYI, Patrick Ducharme is a top criminal defense lawyer in Windsor. They picked a good lawyer to represent them.

 

[MSLs absurd thighs]

Well... there goes the speculation on how the hell Beaulieu learned to fight like a mad man. He's got some good paternal behaviour influencing him apparently

well still I hope they go in jail if they did commit a crime.

What's the worst that could happen if Nathan is charged? Community service?

The worst is a criminal record which would be serious as he might not be allowed into the US. He would hope, if guilty, to get it into an Adult Diversion program ( Crown has discretion ) which takes it out of the criminal system and so no record, or, to get what is called a Discharge through the court, which again results in no record. This assumes a simple assault, if its more serious then he has a problem.

That leads me to ask. Khabibulin did jail time in the summer like 3 years ago. Pavelec got caught drunk droving. Those guys have a criminal record for sure. There must be a way to pass around that because it's their job to go in the U.S.

Anyone could clarify that?

I don't think they sweat DUI convictions at the boarder, probably lose too much tourism. This is just US policy so Im guessing you can hire people, like a lawyer, to deal with US officials to see that he can get in and out. Also could depend on Khabibulins US immigration status, dual citizenship etc.

Here's a brief explanation:

If criminal = millionaire / famous then free pass

If criminal = regular Joe then do not pass go, do not collect 200$ and stay on your side of the ****ing border.

I would think it has more to do with not impeding the guy's right to make a living

Some of you kids on this site if moral code were followed 75 percent of nhl hall of famers would be de-listed?As for Nfl we have rapists murders bank robbers all at one time playing or still on rosters.It's always will be that's the culture of violent physical sports.These are tough people who in many cases lived tough lives as youth

Can someone change the title, please?

 

[ClasslessGuy]

IMO, as long as it doesn't affect his play on the ice, I don't care.

 

[holyhabs]

did he win the fight? important questions need to be answered here.

pobably fighted a non-fighter so the chance that he got a win are high. Like he does on the ice so every habs fan think he's the next Ali
