re: Did Lindsey know about the guns in his dorm?

If I had one of my children or grandchildren enrolled, I would want this kid permanently removed from the premises. Do people think that the coaches haven't talked to the players regarding this type of thing? No excuses, 2 murderers were on campus with assault rifles. If he is stupid enough to let them stay in his room, and he was, he should be gone. The next question is, did he have a roomate? My grandson is entering his freshaman year at another state school and freshman have to live on campus and have a roomate the first year.

This is the real story and it’s amazing so many rantards on here just don’t get it. This kid harbored two fugitives wanted for murder toting serious weaponry IN HIS DORM ROOM ON THE LSU CAMPUS. The wanted notices stated that they were considered “armed and dangerous,” and they were holed up for two weeks in a dorm room, I’m assuming at Nicholson Gateway.

Hell, I’m up in arms about it—pardon the pun—since I sometimes shop at that Matherne’s. I don’t suppose it’s far fetched to assume that those criminals could decide to take their AKs and JT’s student ID, hop down the elevator and perform a nice little armed robbery while I’m in there.

Every LSU parent should be outraged and screaming to administration about this kid recklessly putting every LSU student in potentially mortal danger. I’d be likely telling my kid—especially if they lived in Nicholson—“no ifs, ands, or buts, you’re transferring to the University of Texas.”

I don’t give a flying frick what JT Lindsey knew or when he knew it. He endangered every LSU student by harboring two armed and dangerous criminals on campus. For that, he should be kicked out of school so hard that you couldn’t pull the boot out of his arse with a backhoe. AND he should be banned from campus for life.

Think he had the permission of LSU admin?

RS 14:95.2(C) includes exceptions, one of which states that the prohibition on carrying firearms does not apply to: "A student who possesses a firearm in his dormitory room or while going to or from his vehicle or any other person with permission of the administration."

The word OR matters.

OR

any other person with permission of the administration.

Meaning campus police, or officers of the law who are on campus for any event, or if the administration allows someone else who is not a student to carry on campus for any reason.

and before you ask, no... the murderers aren't protected from those charges because, they aren't students, it wasn't their dorm, and they didn't have permission from administration. Lindsey would be protected if the guns are his because he was a student, and it was his dorm.

THIS

The nerve of the School Admin (not Athletic Admin) of not even releasing a statement on this is unacceptable. The powers that be thought they could just do a Friday afternoon news dump and let the outcry die over the weekend. This is bigger than an Athletic Department problem. The Dean of Students should have the kid in his office this morning.

If there is a provision that lets students keep guns in their dorm room, even though the campus is a gun free zone, that is absurd. However, I doubt that these guns were obtained legally. I could be wrong.

I’m pretty confident that the firearms were owned by JT. I can’t say this as a fact right now though. I’m sure we’ll find out for sure sooner or later.

How were the two teenage fugitives able to evade law enforcement for more than 2 months? That's my question.

They had other help obviously. They haven’t been in JTs apartment for two months becuase he hasn’t been there for two months. *Edit — Did JT report for summer workouts in June?

Ban bet on if these guns were legally obtained and registered or not?

They don’t have to be registered so that’s half your bet.

Wonder if duress/intimidation is a feasible defense in such a case?

It would be but it isn’t true.

Has it been substantiated that guns were his? Seems crazy he'd keep those weapons on campus if so. My quick search doesn't turn up much background info on the actual shooting and other circumstances in this case. I was surprised to find victim was also an ASH student. There weren't many bad neighborhoods zoned for that HS back in my day and recent zoning looks similar. Wonder if it is a case of middle class neighborhood kids trying to be hard (we had a few of those in my hood) or if they're actually from poor crime ridden part of town. Are more details about the shooting public yet? What's his relationship w the 2 involved and what was their role in the incident?
