re: Tyler Taylor suspended

Lol.

what he did, but calling a kid you never met a thug is idiotic. I sure hope none of you ever have kids that make a poor decision so people like you can hide behind a keyboard and hurl insults like a bunch of adolescents. Just relax, and perhaps say a prayer that wherever this kid ends up in the next year or beyond, he’s moving in a positive direction.

He was part of a felony robbery and tried to come back and sweep things under the rug hoping it would magically disappear.

So not only is he a criminal thief that steals guns, he’s also a liar.

But sure, he’s not an idiot whatsoever.

Took three months to "find out this happened"

Just a few weeks ago everyone was praising this kid for visiting a dying tiger fan. Now everyone is ready to crucify him. I won’t defend what he did, but calling a kid you never met a thug is idiotic.

I’m with this. It may not be quite as bad as it seems on its face. Peer pressure could have landed him in a situation he wasn’t strong enough to stand up and get out of. I think he’s gotta be gone at LSU regardless, for not disclosing it. But even if it’s exactly what it looks like—he was part of the planning or even the mastermind—I hope he uses it as a very tough learning lesson and bounces back turns his life around. I’m just not too quick to completely throw away a 19-year-old kid forever because of 1 terrible decision sans murder/rape/hurting a child/etc...And I fricking hate thieves like nobody’s business. It’s not your shite. But I believe in both redemption and due process.

But due process is for the courts. He should be shite-canned from LSU regardless. Just to be clear.

Agree with this.

I’m from the area where we went to HS. I don’t know him or his mom, but whenever I speak to people who do (former coaches, teachers) they either say good things about him or nothing really at all. He never got in trouble at Lanier as far as I know.

It’s shocking to me because generally, kids around here don’t get into that kind of stuff. I mean, we occasionally have some idiot breaking into cars or someone getting busted for weed, meth or whatever else. But felony armed robbery and other gangster ish like that is really rare.

I want to believe that he had no idea what was going on until his buddies got back in the car, but even then, he (allegedly) decided to drive them away and conceal that information for months. I hate that for him but you can’t let that slide.

I hope he turns it around and doesn’t let this derail his life, but LSU has to move forward. Let’s see what we have in Queen and some of the other young guys.

He gone.

a lot of bama paranoia in this thread. maybe LSU should get its own house in order and not worry about what other schools are doing?

He committed felonies - stealing firearms for one. That's serious and there are no mitigating circumstances that can excuse these criminal acts. He needs to be gone.

I'd like to know who were the idiots that masterminded this pulled Taylor in. Those are the guys that need to be hit with maximum sentences and publicly shamed.
