Wow.
We have players admitting to felonious criminal behavior... And people outright excusing it.
Nobody is excusing it. They should not have done this. Dumb decision and poor way to handle things.
I'm just not as upset/outraged about this as I would be about a more serious crime.

You have the reading comprehension of a god damned toddler. In what way is me saying I THOUGHT something was coming out of it the same as me still trying to hammer the point home?

bullshite. Nearly every single poster in here has the "it's just college kids being college kids, nothing to see here" mantra going.

No, I find it weird that an LSU player automatically gets the benefit of the doubt in a thread titled
Where he got the items, that he reported to police as stolen, should not be an issue. You are making that an issue because you are questioning how an LSU football player could possibly afford such stuff. What you didn’t care to learn first, was that not only do they receive legal free shite all the time, but it is also very likely his middle class working family purchased him stuff for college like any other middle class family with kids in college, especially on scholarship. You assumed that he had no family income/wealth. My point was you are a complete jackass for assuming that.
Also, regarding your comment about the title and posters defending him, people give him the benefit of the doubt because he has shown absolutely no character issues before this moment. Additionally, the circumstances surrounding the incident, especially regarding motive, are awfully easy to empathize with. Anthony has been nothing but a hardworking kid with great character on the field, off the field, and in the classroom in his time at LSU and I believe he has earned some “benefit of the doubt”. He is not some punk kid getting in fights and showing bad attitude in any way.
He should not have handled the situation like he did. It was a lapse in judgement. I think the mistake is forgivable. It was a college kid, in college campus living quarters, getting his stuff back that was stolen. Yes, he went about it the wrong way, but this is not on the level of beating women, dealing drugs, or having illegal weapons, etc.

This thread has gone to shite. Should we be expecting to see more players implicated?

I dont empathize with people who choose to commit a felony.

He chose to commit a felony...that isnt "great character" mo matter how hard you try and spin it.

Are you a cop? It will be reduced below a felony as it should be and they will barely be suspended. This isn't as black and white as you make it sound.

Benefit of the doubt regarding the circumstances.

A. He probably didn't know it was a felony. He already asked the cops for help and they didn't do shite.
B. It shouldn't be a felony if people use common sense, and it won't be after its reduced.

God damnit, no I fricking didnt. I assumed that he didnt get it from his family because MOST frickING PLAYERS DONT GET shite LIKE THAT FROM THEIR FAMILY. That was why I posted the Jefferson link. You made it about race when you posted
quote:
Why can his family not have money? They live in Marietta and seemed to be fine, normal people.
YOU made it about race, not me. When it went in that direction, I kinda took the "well, if you really want to go there" approach and went off on a tangent, but it was brought in that direction by YOU. You assumed I was implying race and income when I wasnt even thinking that.

breaking in a residence is a crime. Are you saying this smart kid of great character didnt know that breaking into someone else's home was a crime?

It had been 4 fricking days.

Let's say someone breaks into your home and threatens your wife. You ok with it if they were getting something that you had bought, not realizing it was stolen?

Well this scenario certainly has a lot to do with the situation in question. Good analogy bro.

Then why, at first, did you think his family probably didn't have the money to buy him a $400 PS4?

There is no situation where breaking into someone else's residence, threatening people, and stealing items is ok....
none.
even for a college kid.

You just proved my point that people should use common sense because every situation is different.
If you can't see how your hypothetical is different than college kids in college apartments getting their stolen shite back then I can't help you.

Crime =/= felony.

it's exactly the same.
under the law your campus residence is your HOME.
They broke into another person's HOME.
Then threatened a person there....then robbed the place.
These are INDISPUTABLE FACTS.
