Surprisingly, This Judge Wasn’t Referring to Sean Avery

Assholes are a lot like douchebags–most don’t know the extent of their assholery, until that fateful day when someone summons up the cajones to tell said asshole just how big an asshole they are.


For junior hockey player Chris Doyle, today was that day.


Doyle, of Prince Edward Island, was on trial for assault, after he stormed an ex-girlfriend’s apartment and punched a door, breaking her roommate’s nose.  His defense was that it was an accident, and he didn’t know the woman was there.  Sounds plausible…but still, really a dick move when you think about it. When you think about it, drunken jealous rampages never end well.


Well, the judge, John Douglas, chief judge of the provincial court no less, agreed with Doyle’s explanation, and let him off–but not before taking a swipe at the defendant.

“If he was charged with being a colossal asshole, I would find him guilty,” said Douglas, chief judge of the provincial court.  Of assault causing bodily harm, I find him not guilty.”

Classic.  Absolutely classic
