Columbus, GA really is a tar pit of poverty. Whole lotta stupid down there. I'm interested to see who the people were in the car with him. I have a good idea though.

This article from last year came to mind. Should have listened to Jasper. blogs.ajc.com/uga-sports-blog/2011/09/01...-crowell-is-feeling/

“I know what he had to go through coming from Columbus, Ga. There’s a lifestyle down there in the inner city that you’re fighting. There’s a lot of demons that you’re fighting with. It’s a situation where it’s kind of hard to cut off some of these people you grew up with. But it’s for the best. It’s hard because you don’t want to be labeled as somebody who has changed or who has a big head. There are so many different elements involved that fans don’t see that he’s dealing with. And I know it because I’ve been there.”

I can understand that last thought to a degree. At the end of the day, you still have to be a man and do what is right. There are no excuses for his actions. Not saying your making one either. It seems he knowingly and willingly broke the laws. For that he should have the book thrown at him. He should go, not later. Now, and I mean right now.

You got that right, flyindawg. NOW. IMMEDIATELY.

There will be those who say we are rushing to judgement, who say that perhaps there is an innocent explanation - maybe, like me, he's an avid outdoorsman/sportsman, or maybe he just values his second amendment rights just like I do. However, I WAS FAST ASLEEP LAST NIGHT WHILE HE WAS BEING BOOKED. I don't know what is currently in season as far as hunting is concerned, but it's nothing I hunt, and even during DEER season, there's no reason to be up AT THAT hour.

Drugs. Punks. Thugs. Low Lifes.

Yes, I AM rushing to judgement. CMR, if you want to try to keep an ounce of that respect that is still left for you, DO THE RIGHT THING NOW!

{Edit: Just went back and re-read the article. He had an "altered ID" on his weapon. Anybody here hunt? Would you even LET someone "alter the ID" on your guns? Not over my dead body. Niiiiice, IC, really nice.]

[Edit again: After yet another read - story got updated - he was carrying a 9mm LUGER under the seat of his car?! Are you kidding me?! Not a RUGER? Because a 9mm LUGER with the original serial number intact would be quite a nice little collector's item. Filing THAT off shows even MORE stupidity. Somehow I have to believe it wasn't really a LUGER.]

It was a 9mm Luger. Altered ID means probably stolen. Bet it belonged to one of his "buddies" in the car.

I dont think CMR is going to have any say in this one........

Now we get to see where Adams, McGarity and Richt stand.

Mettenberger was allowed to crawl out of his hole, still have a great dislike for his attitude and actions. Same has to be said for IC.

I can appreciate where apollocrush is coming from. I lived in Columbus, Georgia through WWII and there was a lot going on then in Columbus and Phoenix City. Lots of young men at Ft. Benning coming off base and raising hell, fist fights and the like on a non-stop basis.

Have gone back over the years, have friends there but it is not fist fights anymore. Guns are the means of settling arguments now. So sad again, what was once a very important area to our country has lost that image.

Chief growl, it is getting old, remember how things were settled aboard ship . . . Bos'n Locker settled many arguments, however not with hand guns.

Rushing to judgement?

Hardly


This is what now.. strike 4? Like thriller noted and like my dad always said...

There's no reason to be out that late at night as out of the 10 possible things that
could come of it; 9 are bad. All the legal and wholesome stuff can usually be accomplished
between the hours of 6a/m and 9p/m.

I value my second amendment rights as well, but then again: my firearms don't have the
serial numbers filed down. I also don't know many that hunt with a 9mm Luger, Ruger or any other WHATEVer. It wasn't a hunting rifle, or a legal firearm.

It can turn out to be a borrowed car with a gun he didn't know was there and I'm still not
going to give him a pass because he's obviously still hanging out with and borrowing cars
from thugs. It could have belonged to another one of the passengers, but why is he hanging out with those sorts of people. Tooling around with a car full of buddies at 3:30 in the morning is about all I need to hear. This kid hasn't matured one bit, and it's time to cut bait.

Once again.. .I wish him no harm and I hope he gets his life together, but the UGA locker
room has already done it's time as the rehab center. Go get your life in order somewhere
else. I'm sure CMR will still be there for you off the field, but that's a key point..
off our field and away from our campus.
