he smashed a phone of someone taking pics of him at 5am.

Maybe not legal...but justified.

Justified would be walking away.

Justified would be calling the cops if somebody continued to harass you as you tried to walk away.

Justified would be if you felt your life was threatened, fighting back.

Choosing to stay and smash their phone makes it obvious that you didnt feel threatened, you just were annoyed and chose to damage their property.

UFC superstar Conor McGregor arrested on strong-arm robbery charge in Miami

MMA fighter Conor McGregor was arrested and charged with ‘strong-arm robbery’ in Miami Beach, Florida, after police said he slapped a cell phone out of a fan’s hand, stomped on it and left with it.

The fighter was leaving the Fontainebleau Miami Beach hotel after 5 a.m. on Monday when someone tried to take a photo of him with a cell phone, according to police. McGregor reacted by destroying the phone, then picking it up and walking away with it.

The 30-year-old MMA fighter was arrested Monday evening after a day-long investigation by Miami Beach police, who said the incident was captured on the resort’s surveillance cameras. McGregor was booked into a Miami-Dade county jail.

let's see the video .....a very very good chance it wasn't just some guy snapping one discrete picture.

It's clearly misleading to call this 'robbery'

In any logical world , It's destruction of property, not robbery. What McGregor carried away was a piece of worthless junk, since he had smashed it. No one trying to steal something for profit destroys it first.

If you shoot my dog with a bb gun and i come over and break the gun over my knee and walk away with it, is that robbery? I call it justified.

There's a limit to what you can do to a person and not be held accountable. You can be punched in the face and the person sho punched you is not liable for assault if you verbally provoked them in an extreme manner.

Should be the same way with the phone camera. If you get in my face and start aggressively filming me at 5am for no reason and don't stop when asked, you deserve to get the phone smashed. Unless Conor was committing a crime or something, there's absolutely no reason to be invading his privacy like that, even in public. Who knows what really happened, but there are many scenarios in which Conor's actions would be justified.

We need to revise our laws to provide at least some form of reasonable privacy protection in public.

Yes, that meets the definition of Rob 3 at least in my state. Besides destroying an object he deprived the owner of his personal property by taking it without permission, which constitutes Rob 3.

They really should deport him and revoke his visa. Then bar him from the USA for 10 years.

if you actually read the post your were responding to , you would have seen that I was saying it shouldn't be considered robbery, no that it wasn't in the eyes of the law.

good luck on the bar

When you deprive someone of their property, you are robbing them. Did he deprive someone of their property?

ok, so if i take a bubble gum wrapper from some one it is robbery?

Calling that robbery is another example of the perils of runaway lock-em-up, law-and-order, tough-on-crime hype. Simple minded idiot voters eat that stuff up and elect politicians who promise it. They're the ones should be locked up!

SCRAPPY DOO FOUND DEAD IN MIAMI

Thank You!!! This sh*t with cops getting involved with all this minor crap is getting ridiculous. Lt them handle it like men. Even if he punched him in the face it would have been JUSTIFIED... We are turning really into a society of weaklings!!! Smh at the utter law-enforcement-running-amok stupidity in the US of A.

He's in trouble again.

8:00 PM PT -- Conor posted bail and strolled out of the Miami-Dade County Jail a little while ago. He was totally reserved as someone escorted him to a waiting SUV.

Luckily, he finished his probation in the prior case just before.

Or maybe that's why he felt he could be a bit less restrained.

Pretty bold to call somebody out on reading comprehension in a post that looks like a series of addled texts
