I don't understand why we build entertainers up to be "important" people. This dude is literally a clown who exists for our amusement. Like any other clown, he should be put down if he causes trouble.

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.
His probation was in New York, not Miami. Different jurisdictions.

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.
The Irish get their visas revoked for much less than that.
Conor McGregor duped the dude whose phone he allegedly snatched and smashed in order to get to the goods ... so claims the guy who lost his phone. TMZ Sports spoke with Ahmed Abdirzak, a UK resident, who tells us he was vacationing in Miami before Monday's scuffle with the former UFC champ.
https://www.tmz.com/2019/03/12/conor-mcgregor-tricked-alleged-phone-handshake-robbery-arrest/Ahmed says he spotted Conor on their way out of the club as he waited for the valet to bring his ride around. Once he saw Conor, Ahmed tells us he pulled out his phone to snap a pic -- and then says Conor actually approached him and appeared to be offering a handshake.
Once he had a hold of his hand, Ahmed says Conor pulled him in and grabbed the phone out of his hand ... allegedly proceeding to stomp on it while his bodyguards blocked off Ahmed. Ahmed asked for the phone back, but to no avail.
He says Conor put it in his pocket, laughed and hopped into a waiting vehicle. Ahmed's pissed about his phone, 'cause he says there's precious content on there for him that he'll never get back.

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.

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.
Absolutely agree with this. It's complete BS that random strangers can film other people with no consequences and the person being filmed just has to take it. This crap has gone way too far and really needs to be stopped. And please don't whine to me regarding 'your freedom to take video' or whatever the hell. There are patently obvious differences between recording a public scene and singling out one individual.
The reason he was able to make $90M fighting Mayweather was because he became famous through his success in UFC and from self-promotion. Besides making a pile of money it's going to result in people recognizing him. He should accept that people are going to approach him and treat them with much respect as reasonably possible. The guy whose phone he broke could be one of the people who contributed to McGregor's wealth through PPV.
I don't follow UFC much, but isn't McGregor soon to be toast? He'll never beat that crazy guy he lost to and any boxer with some pop would knock him out in 1-2 rounds.

Went for a jog after he was released from jail lol
I cannot wait. Conor McGregor is like a dying fish out of water. He's flipping and flopping and swinging at everything. So far McGregor has not gotten his ass kicked on the street. If he keeps this up, McGregor is going to eventually pick a fight with the wrong guy. McGregor is going to eventually get his ass kicked on the street. He is not a big man.
He's now seeking unspecified damages north of $15,000.

If you are in a public place you can be singled out and filmed. Too bad if you don’t like it. It’s not touching you or impeding you. With that said, nobody wants to film your sorry a$$ so you don’t have anything to worry about.
