Ha! I am now thinking about dropping my subscription because who in hell wants to be an Athletic supporter?

I'm not quite sure what you are getting at. I think our wires may be crossed here. What I was getting at is I don't believe a 21 year old should be cut from a team for a text message he sent when he was 20....even if he did use the N word. Unless it was in a violent manner like "I hate N" or something worse. It's a word. A distasteful word that should not be used but these "gotcha" moments are getting out of hand.

Here it is...LaGarrette Blount. Sucker punched a white player. Look at the caption....people found this funny! 800 and something people liked it and 100 something didn't. Read the comments. But people are crying that Frohm should be black balled! LOL The comments were under this video. My bad.

LOL...yes, that's it!

Correct. On all accounts. I'm getting at what the poster said that I quoted. Are we seriously debating on a text message like this should ruin a career? Even if he did drop an N-bomb? When he was a 20 year old? If that's the case I wonder how people feel about giving people a second chance when they did something that actually hurt someone? Say a 20 year old punches another and breaks their jaw? Should he be forgiven? Who was that college player years ago...I think a running back, that sucker punched the player at the end of a game? (BTW, he was a black player and sucker punched a white player) I do believe he went on an played in the NFL. Shoukd he have not been allowed to play pro football?

He should not be forgiven and should be cut. Just a question....are you of the opinion that if someone does a stint in jail for a crime they "did their time" and we should move on?

Why on God's green earth would anyone want to do all that and then put up with the bull#### out there? Let me ask you this....how would any of those mandates have stopped what happened in Minneapolis? Honestly, I hope all those radical ideas you are throwing out actually come to fruition. It will be amazingly entertaining to watch the big cities crumble.

That's also a wicked stretch. I mean, they didn't recklessly use the sidewalk to injure him.

Correct. The only subdivision under Felony Assault that is not with intent is to recklessly cause serious physical injury with a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument. The dangerous instrument, which I suspect they were charged under, is a STRETCH of epic proportions. He was pushed back with a riot stick, which is what they are made for. If this is truly a crime, lets say the old man didn't fall. Would those officers have been charged? Of course not! Would the DA have charged them with attempted Assault 2nd Degree? Of course not! And, lets be honest, I watched that and my stomach turned because it was a 75 year old man. Taking emotions out of it, would we be having this conversation if the man was in his 30's, 40's or even 50's? I think we can all say no. The age of the man is the reasonn we are here, as well as what happened in Minneapolis. Nowhere in the statutes that covers this is age a reason to charge. Only if intent can be shown and I'm pretty damned sure we can all agree gbere was no intent to injure. The man got pushed back, lost his balance, and hit his head. He made the concsious decision to approach those officers and impede them from moving forward. It's not like the officer took his riot stick and clubbed the man over the head with it. I suspect these officers will be indicted and then beat any and all charges at trial.

I can trll you right now that DA overcharged. IF any charge was appropriate it was Assault Third Degree. Again, IF.

That is 100 percent true. Imagine a privatized security/police? Call them and give your credit card information before they respond to take care of your problems. We are heading this way and I say awesome! We should also defund Welfare and social programs that drain our tax dollars. I'm also for defunding any and all tax payer money going to public colleges.

Has he been executed yet?

Yep! Imagine the boom in construction in the outlying areas as people flee these cities. The economy may actually sky-rocket!

All I can do is laugh!

Haha. You don’t know society very well. Wait until a volunteer policeman shoots an unarmed person. It will happen about 1000 times more than it does now.....and that is probably a very low estimate. Looking forward to it!

Right. Protect yourself. Throw the Criminal law books out the window. Every man for himself. Believe me, I’m ready for this. I’m not sure how long I will last but I’m more than ready for it to begin.

There you go. Volunteer police! Or arm yourself and take care you yourself. And, again, let everyone have their own tax money and decide where there own money goes to. Why do I need to give anything to the homeless? If you want to, you give it.

Believe me, I know what I am speaking of. It’s no straw man argument. Start over as a society. Get rid of publically funded police and let communities or individuals hire their own. You don’t want to pay for the privatized security, don’t. And you also don’t get any of their services. Start right in these cities that are yelling for it. Let it be a social experiment. Maybe it will work out for the best?

I support your message. Defund the Police. Handle crap on your own. Do away with jails, prisons, all that. And also do away with welfare while we are at it. Get rid of all these social programs. If people want security, hire privately or arm yourself. If people want to give to the poor, then give to the poor of your choice. Seriously, let’s start this in the major cities and see how it goes from there.

I am 100 percent behind defunding the police. I think the time has come for anarchy. I am also 100 percent for defunding Welfare and social programs. Lets start saving money and taking responsibility for ourselves. You want security, arm yourself or pay a private company. You want handouts, go beg on the street corner. Enough is enough.

LOL...I absolutely LOVE listening to people like you! It warms my heart! I am so looking forward to what is coming down the pike in this country! Better arm yourselves, boys and girls!

LOL....like those players would even give a crap about playing in the NCAA without the possibility of playing in the NFL.

You guys have no idea how much I want the Police abolished! I will sit back and giggle all the while loading up. Please God happen! I am young enough to more than handle myself. I may die but so be it to rid this country of Liberal scum.

I so ***** much hope police are defunded! I want the wild, wild west to return!!!! I know I am armed and ready! Hope you all are! Lawlessnes appeals to me so ***** much right now! Oh yeah,,, ***** the NFL and ***** the Pegula's! Today, I am officially done with pro sports! Goodell? Suck it! 34 years of serving my country and serving my community the best I possibly could, while breaking ***** bones and having my face slashed to shreds. See you guys around here but I will say it right now....I hope the NFL and pro sports fails. I know they won't but I sure do hope so!

No. I disagree. The officers in Minneapolis were NOT doing their jobs.
