Haven't seen this posted yet. Jackson in fight/shooting. Charged with criminal negligence after firing a gun in the air outside a strip club at 3am - all during the middle of training camp!
With previous charges from the Pistons saga, could be in a bit of strife.

Isnt it funny the difference between here and the US. If you did that while at any sporting club in Australia be it Basketball, Football, Soccer, whatever. You would have you butt kicked out of the club and no other team would touch you.

This is slightly new-er news in that Jackson has actually been charged, where as the police at the scene decided that he was the victim in all this and didn't arrest him.
The prosecuting district attourney in Indiana is facing re-election soon, so potentially stringing up one of the teams least popular players might help his cause.
Seems like Jax was abit more involved in the brawl that he first let out. Going to his car to retrieve a gun isn't a good move either.

MW might be a grouch, but I don't know that you can read attitude into "Look harder" - no fights, you two!

The trouble was with the title, thedoctor - I went for the sarcastic version when something like yours actually told readers what was going on. :)
Anyhoo, it looks like Mr Jackson's still in a world of trouble: latest happenings here.
Never a good sign if a story about you contains one or more of the following lines:
"was led away in handcuffs"
"already on probation"
"The criminal recklessness charge carries a prison term of six months to three years."

Jackson's club should sack him and refuse to pay him the rest of his contract ... then Jackson should retire ... he'll learn his lesson then.

I can see a new career on celebrity boxing for stephen Jackson, as long as he isn't allowed to bring a piece with him.
Maybe they will make him play in a russian develpment league for punishment, that would be hilarious
