CAN YOU BE CHARGED WITH A CRIME FOR WHAT YOU DO IN SPORTS❓.

By Editor


Yesterday, we asked you about Jackson who went to play soccer against the local village team. He did not appreciate the tackles he recieved and as a result decided to take out his anger on a fellow player. To cut the looong story short, Jackson had to be restrained as he was chocking the other player to death and the police has since then been looking for him for attempted murder. We asked you for your thoughts on whether there was any crime. Thank you for your comments. Now let us share our own thoughts as well.


As you may very well know, all sports events carry some level of risk. (Including chess by the way) For example if you participate in a boxing match, you are taken to have acknowledged that there is a risk that you could have a swollen eye, broken jaw etc. similarly in football, it is expected that there will be some kicks flying around and tackles. This may even result in broken bones among others. If you accept to take part in any of these sports with these known risks, the law says that you have voluntarily accepted and taken on those risks. (This is called voluntary assumption of risk).


However, it is not expected that you will be castrated by another plater or that a player will strangle you or slam you with a chair until your back or head is broken. If a player or person involved in the game does this, they will have stepped outside the rules and expected risks of the game and the law can now go after them for their criminal conduct. Therefore, in our case, Jackson can be reported to police for aggravated assault or even attempted murder because what he did, is not conducted that is expected to result from a football match. This is not even restricted to a player against another player, but against anyone who may be present. You cannot for instance kick a fan, or kick a referee in the head even if you are in disagreement with his decision.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

By Editor
The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent.  It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu".  We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service.  If you have not been denied registering your child i...

        President Museveni at the passout of police officers in Masindi Friday https://www.facebook.com/1829407613953796 President Museveni has praised his Special Forces Command [SFC] guards for properly and legally beating National Unity Platform [NUP] presidential flagbearer, Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine. “The other day, there was a fracas in West Nile where our young friend Bobi Wine was fighting security people,” Museveni said Friday while passing out police recruits at Kabalye Training School in Masindi district. “I think they beat him a bit and then they came and said a Member of Parliament has been beaten. I said let me study and see how he was beaten. I found the man had been beaten in the right way,” Museveni explained. “This was because…I think this was SFC people who are not police-minded. They are used to doing other things. But somehow they managed to act properly, I was surprised.” When they [SFC] went where this young man was in the room, he had ca...

Here is Why Our Utterances For Praying Jesus And God To Come Liberate Ugandans, May Be Misplaced. This Phrase is like inform of a Letter To Some Categorized Section Of Ugandans.

Last week of March, a friend told me to pray for Uganda.  I told him that he was an Idiot and we have prayed for too long and we are still hungry and sick and Jesus is not coming soon to liberate us. He then ignored the STUPID and sent me a picture we all now know.  It got me totally messed up.  This guy was telling me to pray then sends a picture of men bowing down in blood.  He might have meant guns but I blocked him because his utterances of praying for Uganda were misplaced. I unblocked him 3 weeks later and asked him about praying and assassinations.  His reply "eithrr prayers or guns or both". I hate violence with a passion.  So he is now blocked in like FOREVER. Do you feel safe?  Do not feel safe. Uganda regim...
