I never suggested to hurt Izak, not to mentioned concuss him. "I do not believe I helped make any type of get in touch with in any way with Izak's head, neck or even leading of his shoulders, yet I accept that my bump induced his head to strike the ground, and because of that, this is classified as higher call.
