How in the HELL have we not heard about Brandon Miller's involvement before today? The Bammer fan-boy "journalists" evidently cover crap up just like the "Not A Fan" crew in Oxford.
Sorry in advance for the long post.
I’m unsure if journalists or any LEO’s were asked to keep a lid on any of this tragedy or not. But I can tell you, I’ve heard stories for over 20 years about how on-campus incidents and incidents involving athletes gets kept from the light of day in Tuscaloosa. I’ve heard from several independent and reliable sources about the structure and protection of drug and human trafficking here. The network in Oxford only wishes it could approach the efficiency levels of this machine.
A young man was hit by a train on campus a few years ago. His tox screen showed he was loaded with some nasty chemicals. His family was adamant he never did drugs and wanted a thorough investigation. I don’t know what happend to that young man. What I do know is that even if there was an investigation, it’s findings never saw public light. This is a consistent pattern for on-campus life here.
I saw the UA police interview videos of a female student who alleged she was drugged and raped a couple of years ago by a spoiled shitstain offspring of a very influential family in Tusc. I’m acquainted with the predatory tactics of this particular douche, as he and I have been in the same watering hole and I’ve seen it many times. Little alleged against him would shock me, but that is neither here nor there.
Anywho, UA police and Tuscaloosa Law enforcement, on video, talked that young lady in circles and made sure she knew right away how difficult it would be to prosecute. No rape kit was even performed. Evidence arising later did in fact reveal some strange circumstances surrounding her claims, but investigators never even attempted to look that far. That young lady dropped out of school and later commuted suicide. I have no idea what actually happened in that case, but UA authorities were very clear from the start they weren’t even going to consider pursuing an indictment. As a father of a daughter around her age, I’d dissuade any young lady I cared for going to UA or mingling in the bar scene in Tusc. If something goes wrong, and you’re a female alleging something against old money or an athlete, you won’t find many friends.
UA tentacles stretch far into the TPD and Tusc News. The only thing Oxford has remotely comparable to UA has is the slanted rag that spews it’s propaganda. Cecil Hurt was a good reporter and a decent human, but the rest of that paper is a hive mind of UA kissasses. Flock them.
FWIW, football players were warned for years about venturing across the river to unfriendly jurisdictions in Northport. Nothing on the south side of the river surprises me.
