re: Report: Police search Jefferson's home

I could honestly GAF, since you like using acronyms so much. So calling you ericb's buddy is a personal attack?

Damn Eric, I wouldn't take that.

I'm sure there are investigations for every murder that are much more extensive than this.

Why? Why do you believe this? Have you seen anything to suggest that a search warrant is executed on someone's home for every drive by, nightclub shooting, and fatal hit and run?

JJ is in trouble , and all the sunshine pumpers need to accept the fact.

What the hell has that got to do with anything? This is about the BRPD, not Jefferson. Jefferson did not make them secure a search warrant five days after the incident. Jefferson did not make them cart out bags and bags of crap from his house.

Yeah, Jefferson is in trouble. No shite. Everyone knows that, and has shown absolutely zero problem accepting that fact. Why and to what extent he is in trouble is the matter under debate. And this particular part of that debate is why the BRPD is applying measures that no intelligent person would ever suggest they would ever apply to a suspect that wasn't getting them this kind of headlines. ANY other suspect for whom they had not been able to gather enough evidence for a conviction yet would have been dismissed and the case dropped at this point. And the fact that they are applying their police powers disproportionately against this suspect is likely a violation of his civil rights, even -- ironically enough -- if he is guilty.

BRPD just doing their job

I keep seeing people post this, but it is a complete and total LIE unless you genuinely believe that this is exactly the procedure and effort they put into every single allegation of battery that occurs in Baton Rouge. Maybe you're that dumb, but I suspect you're just spewing aphorisms to support a result that serves your true agenda against Jefferson, Miles, LSU, people accused of crimes, college athletes, QBs, people with double initials, guys who can't recognize Thomas Jefferson, or whatever it is.

So if that's the case, he could still have pretty permanent injuries that will require further treatment, but it's simply nothing that an ER can do for him other than make sure he's stabilized.

Not with a spinal injury. If it's a severe injury to the spine, they would not release him until he had had much more thorough treatment (or at least examinations) by specialists. Unless, that is, they want to take Jefferson's place at the head of the lawsuit line.

probably took all his shoes and some clothes. Not that hard to get 44 bags when each bag has one pair of shoes in it.

I sure JJ owns quite a few pairs of shoes.

I agree this is going beyond and above.

New Here, but I am catching on to the sarcasim

quote:

---

Most of you are mad that they are putting this much time and effort in this case, but your baseline is what is wrong

No, your assumption is what is wrong. What people are mad about is not that they are putting this much effort into it, it is why they are putting this much effort into it. Justice (and the police are part of the justice system in this country) is supposed to be blind. One victim is not supposed to merit any more or less vigorous protection and investigation than another. Likewise for the suspects. That is clearly not the case here.

Jefferson is being targeted for far more scrutiny than other suspects for similar crimes with similarly lacking evidence (if the evidence wasn't lacking, they would already have arrested him like they do the vast majority of bar fight suspects who get arrested; WITHOUT a search warrant!). The reason he is being targeted is because of his celebrity status, which many feel is entirely justified because they are petty and jealous of those who have made something meaningful and/or successful of their lives as compared to the miserable failure in which they have mired their own lives. Some of us feel differently. Some of us get offended when particular populations are targeted for unjust reasons for especially intense scrutiny.

But it seems some people are okay with that.

Dude, for real? It is called sarcasm.

You shouldnt be sacrastic about the military either

Kinda hard to work a scene when nobody "sees or knows" anything.

Yeah, I guess it's a shame to expect the police to find evidence on their own, with that -- what did you call it -- "investigation" thingy.

Excusing cops from investigating crimes just because witnesses won't come forward to do all the work for them is just . . . well, about what I've come to expect from some in this thread. I'd advise not joining the ranks leaping off the cliff of ignorance. Police screw shite up for very bad reasons all the time. There is far more credible reason to believe this is one of those times than there is so far to believe that Jefferson is guilty.

So a potential 2nd Degree battery isn't a real crime? A simple yes or no answer please.

---

Only incredibly ignorant jackasses or flat out liars insist on "a simple yes or no answer" when taking others words out of context like that. Which are you? (feel free to answer however you like)

To give a meaningful answer to the question, 2nd Degree battery can be a serious crime (the sense of "real" clearly intended by my statement), but not all of them are. Literally thousands of 2nd degree batteries have been committed by people who were literally playing a joke on someone that resulted in an unusually bad trip or fall. Clearly those are not serious crimes in the context of all criminal activity confronting the police and populace of Baton Rouge.
