Not everybody’s the perfect person in the world. I mean everyone kills people, murders people, steals from you, steals from me, whatever

 

[BW Lion]

I feel for the 23 yr old female victim and her family, but that’s me.

crying shame

I guess he was "Keeping it real"

Real Dumb

I see that the name of the victim is identified in the 8th paragraph of the attached article.

You can take the kid out of DC, but you can’t take the DC out of the kid.

Very sad occurrence. An innocent young woman apparently loses her life because she doesn’t want to talk with a young gun toting athlete on a college campus? Incredibly sad for her family and friends. So many trigger happy people these days. I know I think twice before showing any anger when some idiot tailgates or passes and honks in anger. There’s a time when I’d give the finger or something but not now. Last year on the turnpike not far from my house a woman returning home from work was shot and killed while driving. They caught the guy and he said he got mad because he thought she cut him off.

Yeah, it starts hitting home when you think you live in a nice safe community and then you start having gang action and retaliations maybe ten minutes away.

At stop lights these days and nights I just look straight ahead, never left or right.

Miller plays amid link to shooting, hits OT winner

Why shouldn’t he be allowed to play. Most times* people are innocent until proven guilty. So far as I heard on various sports talk shows today, Miller is not being sought as a suspect, isn’t being charged with any crime(s), and is being fully cooperative with the investigation. ON what grounds should he be punished (semi-rhetorical question)?





* the obvious exception being JoePa, CSS and our BOT, FactFreeh and Herr Emmett, but i digress

So clear this up for me…. Would the person be alive if he did not bring Darius Miles the gun? Part 2…so how is he not involved in the shooting?

 

[ValleyForgeLion]

Both their moms are police officers? SMH

Because playing basketball and representing a university is not a court of law. The concept of guilty until innocent only applies to court. I would hope Penn State would not turn a blind eye to a criminal later delivering a murder weapon.

Me too.

 

[LionJim]

Me too.

Sit the kid for one game and you’d have this story behind you. Say it’s out of respect for the victim, not a punishment.

I have no reason to think that Alabama MBB is a rouge program, but siting the kid is saying that they are NOT a rogue program. “We can do better.”

And, yeah, this poor young woman, her life stolen from her for no f’n reason.

Well, they are crimson.

Edited. The laugh made it worthwhile, though.

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Well, Miller did kill South Carolina last night all by himself…..thousands of witnesses!

 

[Midnighter]

So, Miller is texted by Miles to bring his ‘joint’ (gun) and Miller does. It’s then used to kill someone. Sit him a game??????

Yep classic scapegoating and CYA conduct.

Not a good look for Alabama, their AD or their basketball coach.

Miller’s entire two pronged defense is a) he didn’t know what the gun would be used for and/or b) he didn’t know that the gun was in the car.
