Amerikanskt lagförslag kan sätta stop för strypningar i MMA

Märkligare förslag på ändring av lag får man leta efter. En advokat i Illinois, Amerika, vill nämligen förbjuda användningen av ”rear-naked-chokes” i MMA, då ungdomar kan se hur man gör och strypa folk till döds.

Så här skrevs det via ”wjol.com”:

On Monday afternoon Adam Landerman was found guilty for his role in the murders of Terrence Rankins and Eric Glover on Hickory Street in January of 2013. Landerman, along with Joshua Miner, were accused of strangling Glover and Rankins by using choke holds.

Glasgow says that there is already legislation banning police from using choke holds, but he thinks the ban could go further.  He believes athletic competition situations like the MMA should ban the practice as well, because youngsters see it on television and learn to use it.  He believes that’s what happened in the Rankins and Glover murders.

Proposed legislation in Springfield would ban the move from being used in MMA competition within the state of Illinois. The State’s Attorney said he can’t believe the move is even allowed in competition, due to the danger of the tactic.
