Bills player home vandalized

[sweet baboo]

Leodis just became my favorite Bills. Overcome! He will achieve. Pro Bowl this yr. It's coming.

ok...now you just overreacted THE OTHER WAY

 

don't be ridiculous

[San Jose Bills Fan]

Times have changed. What was the name of that Bills field goal kicker in the 60's who got the crap beat out of him while walking down the steet after missing one to lose the game?

Booth Lusteg. I believe it happened outside the old Rockpile.

 

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.

Or possibly drunk high school students.

 

Now for the interesting part...I wonder what they wrote?

Looking at the pic in that story, it looks like something ending in "GAR" . I really hope it's not what I think it is.

[Sen. John Blutarsky]

"False indignation"? Really? So it's okay to go mess with someone's property because they made a play you didn't like in a freaking FOOTBALL GAME?!?!? Good grief.

It's not "Ok" but I think spray painting on grass is pretty low on the offensive totem pole. There's no permanent damage. It's costs zero dollars to fix, just let it grow out. When I hear "vandalism" I think spray paint on walls, broken windows, eggs, slashed tires, things on fire. Paint on your grass is about on par with TP in trees.

 

I admit I don't know what was written so if it was a threat or used the n-word that steps it up on the uncool meter but if it's basically "You Suck" I think Wittle Weeodis should gwow up a wittle and Kawika "The Invisible Man" Mitchell should pipe down a bit about protecting his family from the scourge of spray painted lawns.

 

Would it have been better or worse if the people lined up in the public road outside and booed him when he got back? That breaks no laws but I think it's a bit worse.

 

Well placed lawn fertilizer is much more effective and subtle than spray paint anyway.

The Bills have been making a mess on Erie County's lawn for 9 years now. Call it payback.

It's still invading someone's personal property over a bleeping GAME.

[Jim in Anchorage]

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.

I am as pro gun as anybody but that is a bit much. So if I catch someone on the back 40 wandering in my pine trees I can shoot him in the back?[Oh and hurry and nail up a no trespassing sign next to the corpse]

Thanks, Gene, but I know how the "n" word is spelled. My guess is that your run-of-the-mill Buffalo white trash - the type who probably did this - isn't down with Scripps.

Lori you are trying to reason with folks from the insane asylum. This board has become pathetic and this thread is a great example.

[Doc]

Classless.

 

That being said, I don't want McKelvin returning KO's anymore. That was 2 fumbles last night, with one of them being recovered by the Bills. Let him focus on CB.

I don't think the "vandalism" in question is ok by any stretch, but if you want to compensate me like Leodis is compensated, you can spary paint my lawn every week.

[ExiledInIllinois]

"False indignation"? Really? So it's okay to go mess with someone's property because they made a play you didn't like in a freaking FOOTBALL GAME?!?!? Good grief.

 

No. But this whole "classy" thing is a little overdone, don't you think? What do people want to do, live in a bubble. Sure it was a very non-class move by the perp and if caught should be punished... BUT ACCORDINGLY. To me it is a sign of the times that everybody wants to live in a bubble. I would never do it or condone doing such an act... But come on, let's throw the perp to Attica for 5-10.

 

Not saying that stuff like this did not happen years ago... It surely did. The problem is that everybody hears about it in this instant world... Doesn't matter what people think. If the person gets caught, their punishment should fit the crime. If what I heard was done, people are blowing this way out of proportion. Sure it was wrong, but it isn't like rolling a cabbie for 2 bucks.

 

What about the sign they put on Mularky's lawn... Oh my GOD! Blades of grass were painted... This can surely lead to murdering the guy!

 

Now what would have been funny is the grounds keeper when rightfully mowing the lawn, mowed "hold on to the ball" in a pattern... Reminds me of the time I mowed "Go Sabres" in the lawn at work back in 1999... We are on the east-west flight pattern into Midway, Chicago.

 

I guess that is a little more classy.

[Gene Frenkle]

Who here would be shocked if someone who would use that word would also misspell it?

Of course not, but I think you'd be hearing "hate crime" thrown about by now.

[ExiledInIllinois]

BINGO! AMEN! It is freakin' lawn people... Grass grows.

I'm not trying to slam you here, but your original statement was pretty speculative based on that picture.

[Lori]

Really? This thread is an example of Bills fans (or even society) in general, I think: the vast majority disapprove of the act, but as Bill Cosby once said,

What are you saying Gene? Can you not understand the implication of bills44's post? Or would you choose to ignore it?

 

Like I said, I hope it's some 16-17 year old(s) acting stupid. But if it a racial epithet, then that makes it quite a bit worse IMO.

 

Speaking of misspellings, anyone else notice the mistake in Channel 2s story?

What gives someone the right to kill someone else because he is standing in a certain spot as opposed to another? Exactly what has he done to the property "owner" to warrant death? People interpret property rights way to rigorously in many parts this country.

This thread has such a PPP feel to it.

[KOKBILLS]

Look I'm never in favor of vandalism or any kind of crime for that matter...

 

But can anyone tell me why the sub-title of this thread says "are you guys serious?"

 

Is someone assuming the vandal is here on TSW? You guys? I don't get it...For the record I was in Charlotte NC and had nothing to do with the crime...And I can produce witnesses...

 

Just saying...

[Lori]

Looking at it, I think that first letter is an E, and there are others on either side? "Learn," maybe.

 

And EII, you know that the for-sale sign on Mularkey's lawn was one of the things that convinced him to quit, right? Maybe it's because I deal with coaches and players (and the stuff they hear from the stands) on a regular basis, but how anyone can rationalize this is beyond me.

[firemedic]

NOT COOL, whoever did it.

You might disagree, but a for-sale sign on Mularkey's lawn is pretty funny. I never heard that before.

??

 

 

For an adult, yes. IMO, an adult who would do this is likely to be a fairly useless member of society, so their incarceration may serve the greater good.

 

For a kid, some community service, provided that it takes place in the inner city.

Yes, lock up all those deemed useless.

[The_Philster]

He's lucky his house was only vandalized...he deserves much worse

 

It's even more disturbing that Mitchell typed this himself. Isn't he a college grad? I know its only South Florida but damn. Are they actually teaching illiteracy in school these days?

 

 

it was on twitter so you can't really use much grammar...in his defense

 

 

I think it's a space to write thing.

140 characters per tweet...I'm anal about proper grammar myself but I've taken to using shorthand as well

 

I hope that it was a "harmless" prank and that the perpetrator(s) were just kids.

 

Vandalism is an act that occasionally can be forgiven of young people.

I hope they find them and throw the book at them...spray-painting the lawn or defacing the house...you're still doing something illegal to someone else's personal property and there's nothing cool about that

 

 

"False indignation"? Really? So it's okay to go mess with someone's property because they made a play you didn't like in a freaking FOOTBALL GAME?!?!? Good grief.

anyone who thinks it's ok should be thought of as a suspect, IMO. You have to be morally bankrupt to think something like this was ok

and see how much they like it when someone defaces their personal property

Who here would be shocked if someone who would use that word would also misspell it?

good point...anyone using that type of word has to be an idiot

[bills44]

Yes, lock up all those deemed useless.

 

if they commit a crime, yes.

[Gene Frenkle]

if they commit a crime, yes.

Spray painting grass.

[YellowLinesandArmadillos]

Then you go to jail. You cannot shoot someone for being on your property.

Ah... Yes you can if you can. Under the U.S. constitution you have an absolute right to defend your property. Case and point in DC a few years back there was a Reporter columnist who shot an guy on his porch. He was trying to break in and was shot and killed. The court ruled he had the right to protect his property and shoot the man. The gun was his son's who was on leave from the Navy and legal. I forget all the details

[bills44]

Spray painting grass.

 

trespass

 

disorderly conduct

 

that's just for starters
