So do you have an answer to my question or just the typical liberal response when proven wrong?

But I would like to answer your genius question right there with one of my own:, do you really not see a difference in someone overdosing on heroin in their home and someone endangering lives by driving drunk?
Do you see a difference in a local television news station running a story from starting a thread on a very high volume nationally read message board?
I was not a Sigma Chi but my brother was and many of my friends were and none of them are happy about this and pretty much are in line with Jim Rockfords thoughts on the scenario.

You have become a reasonable, well thought grown up man. It happens and it is a good thing. As I become older naturally I become more cynical so to see a few on this board that are levelheaded and have common sense makes me realize not all is lost. We haven't lost. And actually it is more than a few bright guys here.

All the news reports about Len Bias were directly responsible for me never trying coke. Before that, I kind of wanted to but could not yet afford it. The Bias stories made me scratch that off the list.

The Basketball Diaries is what did it for me. When he started sucking dick for heroin, I was like hell no. They should probably make the book required reading in high school, much more graphic than the movie. Also, Requiem for a Dream made it clear I wasn't ever going to inject something, anything.

WAFB exploiting death of Sigma Chi
quote:
In 1985/86 I was a Lambda Chi at LSU. We had a "pledge" named Chuck, a troubled kid. Before he was initiated, he took a shotgun, and blew his head off in a Tiger Plaza Apartment. We were all shocked.
A few weeks later, the Baton Rouge Advocate ran a front page Sunday edition, above-the-fold human interest piece (two more FULL pages on pages 8 and 9 etc) that basically blamed the fraternity for his death. How he was just a poor working class kid from Morgan City suddenly placed in harm's way by the rich (lol) Frat stars who mocked him and drove him to suicide. I had like $14 to my name and the same for most of the guys who were all typical S Louisiana kids.
In 1987 someone burned the house down while we were in it. The media and all the campus SJW-types (Jerry Schumacher and those " lives of quiet desperation"failed at life guys) made a big deal that we had a random black lawn jockey on the house. And thus essentially deserved our rich white guy fates.
Yesterday America watched the media roll out a prepackaged Narrative that fit their agenda. It was about the 10,000th display of the same thing. The lesson is that the last people to really examine the TRUTH of any particular thing are journalists. And they approach stories as moral crusaders and project their mediocrity upon the stories they present. Never getting within a mile of THE TRUTH, and not giving a shite.
Chuck Kelly - lived across the hall from me - I saw him laying there - that image never went away. I loaned him a shotgun several times to go hunting - He was good friends with my room mate..... saw him out the night right before... next day when I'm coming home - cops and firetrucks every where - someone blurted out chuck shot himself - i grabbed first cop i saw and asked if used an remington 1100 - cop grabbed me and brought me in apt to see supervisor - unfortunately i saw more than I ever wanted to see... also briefly saw notes he had written - no mention of fraternity...... I sure as frick wish that cop hadn't drug me in that apt. though.....january 86......... felt real guilty for a loooooonggggg time about loaning him the gun.... till I learned how in insidious and vile depression can be..... can still picture that wall... 30 years later.... from my knowledge his suicide had absolutely nothing to do with the fraternity
30 years ago today.......
