Are you insinuating this makes him above the law?

I want to support OBJ, but he just operated with reckless abandon towards our program Monday night. So if his excuse is, he was inebriated, why can't he just come forward with a brief statement, "I never meant any harm to my beloved alma mater, LSU, and will make all efforts to rectify any consequences. I will support the student athletes in ways compliant with the NCAA, and embrace those that choose to turn pro. Love Purple, Live Gold."

You don't mess with Barney Fife.

Yes. Correct.

I’m absolutely ok with it. The NCAA won’t touch us. Please bookmark this and come back to me when this is nothing.

I think what he did to that security was put him in his place. Good.

I’m not gonna act like I give a shite about that dork. But I love Odell

I thought he acted accordingly. But it’s obvious your the kinda man that grew bitch tits too early

And what exactly are the facts? That you’re melting like a little bitch with skinned knees over Odell clowning that dork? Come on. Be a man, for once in your life.

You need to recognize what a melt is, son. Look up.

Clown bro

First...this rent a cop was a complete arse and way overstepped his power or authority. Its not a crime to smoke in the super dome. There is a regulation prohibiting smoking in the dome (because it’s state owned property), but it’s just that...regulation NOT punishable by arrest or even fine. This is not in the criminal code. Only thing this security guard has authority to do is to ask them to quit smoking. At most he can kick them out of the dome if they do not comply and that is ONLY IF the Louisiana Stadium and Exposition District passed a rule stating that this is what they want to happen. Not clear if this rule was actually passed, as this is a political subdivision, which requires them to follow the official rule making process applicable to political subdivisions. LINK to the law

But, let’s assume they’ve done that...at most the security guard can do is ask LSU to leave at that point. He has no arresting authority because he’s a security guard and he can’t even ask NOPD to arrest them since no criminal statute has been violated. He was a complete asshat and should lose his job. People defend him by saying he was just doing his job. No he wasn’t. He was on a power trip and way overstepped. 1. He is not a cop, so pretending he can arrest someone is inappropriate (and impersonating an officer is actually a crime as well). 2. Even if he was a cop, no crime was actually committed. You can’t arrest people if they have not committed a crime.

Second, OBJ was an arse hat and should be banned from LSU events. From the money, to the Neck debacle, to the arse slap in the locker room. He’s an embarrassment to himself and the program. His actions prompted an investigation into the program and resulted in an arrest warrant being issued to someone allowed into the locker room by the school. He should never be invited back to participate as a representative of the school.

First point and second point are not mutually exclusive.
