I am a lurker and Pat's fan. That being said, the hit was dirty and if he is suspended for one or two games, I won't feel aggrieved. But, this is not a criminal matter. Thw only people calling for that option to be employed are, frankly, ignorant of the law and criminal procedure. Criminal law, and the process do not work the way some people think. Slow down. You and the fans, and the team have every right to be angry. A man was hurt, unfairly. But this was not a crime.
