Phillip Nelson leaving Gophers

[FISHINGURU]

I must be Ol'School, if you sucker punch someone you deserve to get stomped. It's too bad he got that hurt and all that but when you sucker punch someone your asking for a fight.

[LMITOUT]

Yeah, must be a real tough guy to kick a person in the head after he's already unconscious.

Nobody deserves that.

I guess my old school ways tell me when someone is on the ground and defenseless he has lost the fight. Your old school ways would tell you to then kick them in the head? We went to different schools.

Nice try ladies, I never once said what Nelson did was right, I just don't feel this other tool that threw the sucker punch is much of a victim. If you throw sucker punches you better be ready to have your head bounced off the concrete is all I'm saying. I guess you guys think it's ok because he's the one that ended up getting hurt?

[Canon Guy]

Nice try lady.

[FISHINGURU]

You are definitely the queen of comebacks!!

Ouch! You really got me good.

Must be OL' school humor!

[FISHINGURU]

Not bad!! Took a few extra minutes and an edit but that's kinda funny!

Do you also tear up when someone breaking into a house gets hurt?

Only if they are executed.

You're in your early early 20's, after tossing back more than you should have (all been there) some dude cold cocks your buddy? Tough to say I wouldn't be leading with that right hook. I agree with you there GURU. The kick to the dome though is inexcusable. I knew of a guy who got like 8yrs after punching a guy who hit his head and died. This is a little different with the kick. I don't see Nelson getting off, he's spending time for sure.

I agree 100%. You pick a fight and throw a sucker punch (from behind) at a 6'3" 230 guy at 2:00 after bars close and you better be ready for any and all that you get in return. Nelson was walking away from the argument when he got hit from behind.

I went to the same school as you Guru...as did all my friends. Had Kolstad simply walked away as Nelson was, this whole thing would have been avoided.

Terrible outcome for all three involved...really, really sad.

Are you going to address the kick to the head while the guy was helpless?

[zepman]

I did...read back through my last post.

Not saying it was right...just saying it's a possible outcome when you pick a fight at 2:00 AM.

Also, Nelson will be held responsible for what he did...

Like I said...sad,sad, story all around.

[Canon Guy]

This is what matters.

[CaptainMusky]

Pretty sure the kick did little damage unless he was wearing steal toed shoes. My guess is the fractured skull happened after the initial punch and his head hit the ground.

Not saying what he did was right but I'm quite sure he would have broken bones in his foot before cracking a skull.

[LMITOUT]

As long as you're not wearing steel toe boots you're in the clear, apparently.

[CaptainMusky]

Lmt apparently you're obtuse. No shock there your posts prove it.

Shoes not boots. And I said it didn't mean he should get off Scott free just that the severe injuries he incurred were likely done as a result of the punch knocking him out and hitting the pavement.

It happened here in st cloud just a year ago. Guy gets hit, knocked out head hits pavement cracked skull and he ended up dying. Let's hope this guy recovers though.

[zepman]

Canon G...

We are all a very long way from determining what or how Kolstad sustained the injuries that finds him in the place he's at now. This is what we all know now...he sustained three "hits" to the head. The initial hit from Shelley apparently "knocked him out on his feet".

I'll wait to see how the medical evidence presents itself before I make a judgement on who did what in terms of his damage. Nelsons "kick" is reported to be on the left side of his head...Kolstad has a skull fractue on the left side of his head. We've yet to receive any info on where Shelleys initial punch landed. Nobody knows...and nobody knows how he landed on the concrete. That information has just not been released.

So, before we crucify any of them for what you may "think" caused his injuries...let's let this play out until we all hear further credible evidence.

you mean people on the internet and social media would rush to pass judgement before facts are known? #Sarc

Its a terrible tragedy that could have been avoided if ppl could handle their liquor.

Also wait for a giant lawsuit etc to any bar that served nelson for being underage.

[pushbutton]

Don't really think many were crucifying. Rather just calling him a DB because he had a chance to be a QB, but apparently thinks with his PP.

No doubt, if Kolstad didn't throw the sucker punch no one would be hurt or in trouble. It is sad, one minute your having a good time and seconds later your the one either hurt or running from the cops.

One dude is laid up in the hospital and two other guys are looking at serious charges all over some drunken testosterone moment. It's the exact reason I avoid the bars like the plague.

This is not only about what we "think" caused his injury. It's also about Nelson assaulting a defenseless person. That's what most people have a problem with.

Good grief. The level of stupidity never fails to disappoint.

Clearly! With each post you make it gets more entertaining.

"ob·tuse

adjective

adjective: obtuse

1.

annoyingly insensitive or slow to understand.

"he wondered if the doctor was being deliberately obtuse"

synonyms: stupid, slow-witted, slow, dull-witted, unintelligent, ignorant, simpleminded, witless;"

Seems to fit your retort LMT.

No doubt, if Nelson had not made the decision to break the law by entering a bar and by drinking underage, no one would be hurt or in trouble. Nelson started the terrible chain of events with multiple bad decisions.
