I hope we don't see him at all. I hope they've already packed his locker up and removed him from the team. And I hope Gus continues to do this moving forward just like he did with Jovon. We are already widely known/thought of as a dirty program, keeping guys like this on the team doesn't help.

 

Oh good, your back and you brought your sunshine.

for running from the police when scared?

 

Yea ok...

 

I missed the part where this was acceptable behavior.

Apologies.  I've been on AL.com too long. 

No problem, With a name like Woodstock I figured you'd be a little more chill.

Let the court do its thing and then see where we are in process.  MY $.02.

When you fear for your life, you need to run

I'm just cranky this morning.  I loosen up after lunch!  (Tired of turning on the computer and seeing another negative story.  I could only imagine having to deal with all these kids regularly).

Oooooooh, the cops are evil thing.

 

Good luck not getting banned for that.

Back away from the bong.

I think that particular person needs to step towards it, actually

[Dual-Threat Rigby 8,992]

If he was at Alabama or FSU, this wouldn't be an issue 

Make the right decision here Gus....

Perhaps I should have said, stop doing meth.

It's interesting to me, how people are inclined to hold their own little online court in these situations. I'm not judging it, as it's clearly a popular pastime. Just interesting to me.

You haven't been watching the news on police killings of African Americans? my view on police will never match yours

I usually agree.

 

My problem is the simple brain function at play here. You're an Auburn football player, at college for free, starting in the SEC as a sophomore looking at a pro career if you do the right things- also on a team where previous players have died from guns.

 

SO at what point did any thoughts enter his brain? Before he rode with people with a gun? So maybe He didn't know the gun was there. OK. so then he decided that running from law enforcement was the RIGHT move? 

I just don't get it. I've messed up plenty of times and faced the music. He should do the same. Actions have consequences.

That's just what we do, unfortunately. Are you not entertained!?

That's borderline politics and frankly has no place in this forum.

 

19 posts in and making inflammatory remarks? Good start.

Agree...it was not police who shot three different young men in Auburn the last few years.....a few of them being football players.

I just re-read my post and realized how it came across. I was not suggesting "own little online court" as in "pitchforks and torches". I more meant discussing the specifics of the event- Was he driving? Where was the gun when he was pulled over? Did he exit the car? How? Like, it actually sounds a little like the DA and the defending attorney questioning witnesses and stuff. Except there are no witnesses here, lol. 

Definitely not defending the kid. Guns =/= weed. It would be very par for the course if the Auburn kid is used to send a message where the bama kids weren't, but I wouldn't argue against it.

In fact, I'm inclined to think that Aufamily needs to collectively take a step toward it.

I'm certainly guilty of what you are pointing regarding the details of such a case.  In my defense, I don't have patience to wait for a judge/jury.  Let's just hang em now and worry about the actual guilt/innocence later!  I got things to do man, places to be.  (Not really - I just like knowing specifics so I can opine on them ad nauseam.)

Anyway you are just fishing for an excuse and someone to blame. I hate that yet another one of our starters are being stupid and putting themselves in a position to be arrested. I am not saying he is guilty. I fought for this country so he would have the right to be Innocent until proven guilty. I am saying he was a knucklehead for even putting himself in that position. Its NOT THAT HARD to not get arrested...
