John from Riverside Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I really hope it was not a bills fan that did this because of the game..... The players sold out in this one and played their @sses off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Exactly. This is just horribly bad taste. So much for supporting the team. They played their asses off last night and came up a point short against one of, if not the, best team in the league and that's the welcome home they get? Just sad. Well said. Given some of the vitriol that I have heard at both the stadium and have read on this board, I suppose this should not surprise me. I used to think that we had the best fans in the league until I heard fans cheering when one of our players got hurt some years ago at a home game. Nevertheless, I would like to think that we (Bills fans) are better than this. Those guys played their hearts out. There is no excuse for this sh*t.

Steely Dan Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 You are in need of a legal education. People who happen to step on your property aren't fair game for target practice. I think the communication problem here might be that you can't shoot them outside the house on your property, unless in self defense but once they come in you have greater latitude under the law.

loyal2dagame Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I assure you that a lot of players don't care about the past beyond the Sean Taylor thing. It's a simple question. If you were in his position, say it's McKelvin, and you came home after a bigtime play that led to to the loss of the game would you feel completely sure it was a one time prank?

If I see a bunch of guys running around my house passing near all my windows at night, I'm not going outside to give them a sophomoric wedgie.

BadDad Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I fully support Mitchell's stance that he has to take it as a threat and act accordingly to protect himself and his family. If only because when reading the above my first thought went to Sean Taylor. Although Sean Taylors was not targeted for a mistake on the field, I thought the same thing as soon as I read it.

The guy made an own goal and was murdered for it when he got back to Medellin. p.s. D.C. Tom what's wrong with my spelling of disappointment, it doesn't look right?

And per WGRZ, it was McKelvin: http://www.wgrz.com/news/local/story.aspx?...90&catid=37 One day after his fumble lead to a loss against the Patriots, the lawn belonging to Buffalo Bills cornerback Leodis McKelvin was spray painted. Hamburg Police were at McKelvin's home on Tuesday afternoon. They would not comment on the situation. You stay classy, (one idiot in) Hamburg.

If u show ur face on my prop Ill make sure I do everythin to keep my...Fam safe. So dont come around thinkin, oh we'll just leave a message on his lawn or wall, b/c Im goin to take it as a threat.

SouthGeorgiaBillsFan Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 In Toombs County Georgia, a man can shoot another man dead for trespassing without fear of legal ramification. I do not know whether that is a state wide law or a local law, but I do know that the law requires only that a no trespassing sign be posted and visible from the spot where the perpetrator was shot. This part of the law tends to be interpreted loosely, as well. It is well known in these parts that you do not going wandering around on someone else's property. I personally believe that every state should have a law like this. You would be surprised how little burglary and vandalism are perpetrated on private estates in Toombs County. It does happen - but it is almost always done by crack fiends who are jonesing so badly that the risk of death does not even register in their consciousness.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I'm a huge McKelvin fan; I'm over his fumbles from last night; and I think it was wrong (and lame) for someone to spray paint his lawn. But I still think Ka__Mitch's tweet is stupid. He's sounds like he's ready to fire a machine gun at the perps--who are, in all likelihood, drunk college students.
