On my phone so I can't C&P the full article, but here's the link. Details are still scarce. abc7.com/entertainment/sean-diddy-combs-arrested-for-assault-at-ucla/799762/

This gives the kombucha raid at Andrew Keegan's spiritual center some competition for an 'Only in L.A.' award, true crime category.

Whoah. I wonder what happened.

Lol, so true. Though Keegan still has the edge since he started his own cult religion.

I know zero details, but I'm inclined to blame CrossFit.

In all seriousness, we have kettlebells in our garage gym. I caught a guy trying to steal shit (I had run around the block, and the garage door was left open), and was reaching for a 26 pound bell (and cursing like a crazy person) when he decided he should probably turn around and leave. That shit could take someone's head off.

ETA:  Reminds me of the Friends episode where Joey almost drilled Chandler's head.  How do you *only* assault someone with a kettlebell?  How do you not kill someone?

Okay I missed something on Andrew Keegan, but back to this...

Kettlebells could kill someone. The only thing I heard was that the other person involved may have been a UCLA football coach.

Assault doesn't require actual contact, so Diddy could've swung and missed.

No baseball pun intended.

OK, I don't know all the details, but seriously - P. Diddy, a rich and famous American, gets pissed and a kettleball is used for a weapon and he gets a terrorist charge immediately, but that Dylann guy who killed 9 Black churchgoers at close range with a gun while spewing racists ish doesn't? 

No discrepancy here, right?  

Combs was arrested at about 12:30 p.m. at the Acosta Athletic Training Complex on campus. He was booked on three counts of assault with a deadly weapon, one count of making terrorist threats and one count of battery. No one was seriously injured.

In all fairness, Cali law and SC law won't be the same. That could easily be why they are different.

Take that, take that, take that

Also, terrorist threats is the incorrect terminology. CA changed it to "criminal threats" after 9/11. It has nothing to do with actual terrorism.

Um, this was posted on Lifestyle Media Company's twitter account.  Now I'm not so sure that this isn't a publicity stunt or someone got confused and thought this was a real story, OR if it is a real story and this photo is doctored.

Ahhh, but can we be sure that he isn't in an upcoming eps of Hawaii Five O and that this "arrest" wasn't part of a scene....... Duh, duh, duhhhhhhh.

I don't know how I feel about it. I grew up around the corner from the coach that he got angry at. He went to my elementary school and high school. He was not a nice guy at all. This was further shown by his Jets trip move and I believe he was also arrested for assault. I could see how Diddy would get annoyed at him...

But that was 20 years ago... But a kettle bell? Wtf?

This is what going paleio will do to people.

He was in an episode of Hawaii 5-0 a couple of years ago. I'm not sure if he was arrested in the show or not.
