]]> Tailgating at the USC-UCLA football game on Saturday provided something more then a loss for the Bruins. Police responded to a fight that broke out in the parking lot. Witnesses explained that the fight started because someone had thrown a football that unintentionally hit another group’s vehicle. The L.A. Times described that it took police officers 15 minutes to disperse the brawling crowd of less then 70 people. A man who was arrested on Saturday on suspicion of attempted murder was released yesterday. His three children however were arrested on Monday, while two men arrested on Saturday are still being held. One victim was stabbed seven times in the back and was sent to intensive care according to a witness. Another man was stabbed in the jaw, his brother explains that the tip of the knife is still in the wound. The only justification for hitting someone or using a knife on them is if you are acting in defense of yourself or others. The means you use to defend yourself must be reasonable. Generally, you cannot defend against someone using their fists with a gun. Police continue to investigate the incident. See, Penal Code Sections 664-187, 245(a)(1), 242, 240.

Play football

Paul Richardson, Shaquille Richardson and Josh Shirley were all set to play football for UCLA. Each was a regional star for his local high school. Paul Richardson was a wide receiver at Sierra High School in Gardena, Shaquille was a cornerback who attended Los Alamitos High School and Shirley was a linebacker from Kaiser High School in Fontana. Shirley was an especially desirable recruit who considered attending University of Southern California before signing on with the UCLA Bruins. The three are now facing potential charges for felony theft after allegedly stealing a student’s purse. The three were arrested on the UCLA Campus and booked at a Los Angeles County jail but released early the next day on bail. Police were not aware whether any of the three had hired an attorney.

The three athletes have been dismissed from the team by UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel. The coach said the three players might be able to return to the team in January should they meet unspecified requirements. Additionally, the three will not be allowed to continue at summer school or to enroll for fall quarter at UCLA. See, Penal Code Sections 487, 211.
