>The Marvel star was arrested around 11:15 p.m. Saturday morning inside of an apartment near West 22nd Street and 8th Avenue in Chelsea after police responded to a 911 call.

11:15 p.m. Saturday morning?

There certainly are, they are the ones that make the titles as click-baity as possible regardless of the article text which they've ignored.

There is discrepancy between outlets coverage of this the the arraignment charges. Nearly all article have describe this as a strangulation (a felony) with the allege arrest charge being strangulation.

But the arraignment charges published on the public court date website shows the top charge he is facing is a misdemeanor assault charge.

TL:DR Arrest Charges and Arraingment charges are not the same thing and journalists should be better

I can explain the apparent discrepancy. ā€œChargingā€ is a two step process, and each step is done by a different agency. The first is the Police, who make the arrest. On the police paperwork they will put what they arrested you for. Now, generally, the police are going to put the highest charges they believe fit the facts of what they know right in the moment. Also, Police Officers are not attorneys.

After this we move to the second step, which involves the second agency: The District Attorneys Office. A prosecutor is assigned the case, and will interview both the police officers involved, and the victim. At this point, an actual lawyer reviews the facts, and makes the decision as to what appears on the document put before the judge.

So, what happened here (and this is all base speculation) is the police responded, they have a female complainant with visible injuries, and making statements. They arrest Mr Majors based on that and charge what they can in the moment. Once the case got the the DA office (probably between 6-10 hours later), a lawyer took a look at what they had, and reduced the charges accordingly.

This isnā€™t meant to be an apologetic for the system, but this is how both of those statements you identified can be true.

I hope she's fine and he gets help. Plenty of actors in this town that can keep their hands to themselves.

So she caught him texting / doing something with another woman and went ballistic. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned - I have no idea why a large physically strong masculine man needs to manhandle a female so assuming the allegations are correct he is as we say toast! Warning for the boys out there - if a woman catches you mucking around - donā€™t argue just run. Nothing good comes of confronting a woman for everyoneā€™s sake.

Those women who date male celebrities are so stupid. Those men are never faithful. They need to accept non-monogamy for the lifestyle or get a job like the rest of us.

It's the other way around: Famous Actors should realize how random strange can be hazardous to their careers; either do not say you are exclusive or stay monogamous. Avoid crazy people (hard for crazy people not to date crazy people, but there you go).

It's better to stay with someone who knew you before you became big then to chase a bunch of starf*ckers and catch a stupid charge or get divorced or what-have-you.

Especially if you have a temper.

Therapy is really, really important. It will save you millions of dollars and leave you with your reputation intact.

If you are having frequent disagreements and cannot disengage for any reason, please find a therapist and unload. Please!

Woody Allen needed therapy. Charlie Sheen needs therapy. Robert Downey Jr needed therapy.

We all need therapy.

I hope Jonathan Majors can find peace along with the woman to whom he directed his anger. It's not okay.

Nor am I willing to dismiss this actor. He should have the privacy to find peace.

This is not the Will Smith slap. Dismissing the incident won't serve Mr. Majors

I do hope, growth and learning is on the agenda.

I am shocked by the accusation by not quite willing to dismiss a growing career.

Please see a therapist. Please publicly apologize to this woman.
