Wow! Wonder what happened?

Most likely, the case was adjourned in contemplation of dismissal and as long as he didn’t get in any trouble for a year and met other requirements of the court (possibly anger management, community service, alcohol classes/rehab,etc) the charges would be dropped.

I'd forgotten about this. Not sure what set it off but I think he was drunk and belligerent with airport security after a Chiefs game.

Everyone should get a mulligan.

Otherwise, I think he's a great guy. Didn't he play with a high school or college band the next day, or something like that?

Though, this doesn't sound like a "fight" to me, as TMZ put it:

According to the ticket issued by officers, Carey "intentionally inflicted injury when he allegedly yelled a homophobic slur at the victim, saying 'You're a f*****g f****t'" while jabbing the man with two fingers.

Carey inflicted "injury" with two fingers? Come on.....

Plus, we don't see what the other dude did to instigate the "fight".

And a mullet.

A mulligan is a stew and a mullet is a fish. BTW.

Happy to read this.
Not a fan, but I’m in agreement.
Everyone deserves a second chance.
Hopefully lessons are learned and paths are altered.
Go in peace.

I heard he almost narrowly had to convert his 1st gen wavedrum into a toilet seat in prison but was rescued by Bill Bruford explaining the misunderstanding via utmost British wit to the police that he actually called them a cigarette...true story.

Speaking of Danny, he is the guest drummer on Late Night with Seth Meyer's this week. It looks like he is having fun playing some much more basic tunes with them. And I think he brought his Paiste snare?

Two finger jab ? those guys in the Five Finger Deathpunch band ought to mind their manners too .

Danny’s a big dude. His fingers are wider than some people’s arms. And I’m pretty sure they’re stronger too.

 

[s1212z]

Two fingers is the proper distance between an SM57 mic and snare head, that is what he was demonstrating…just a misunderstanding.

I hope he “upgrades “ his thinking .
Calling someone that is pretty bad ..

I’ve spent the last hour or so watching clips of Danny in different situations on YouTube and whenever he speaks he comes across as a really nice and humble guy, even kind of shy in a way that is very endearing. Not at all what I had expected.

The Iron Finger Kung Fu technique is not to be taken lightly.

Reminds me of my very first drumming instructor. Needless to say - which is why I almost feel obliged to say it - I went elsewhere for lessons after that.

Alcohol has a way of bringing out the worst in people
