You didn't say attempted murder
You always say attempted murder in this rant
Please edit
OK, I will TRY to explain to you how it works. Pay attention please.
When you break any law (or they say you did) they try to find any other little thing they can to add to it, as in a traffic ticket, and if they can find any other thing they will add it to the list, that way they can offer to drop some of the charges IF you plead guilty to the one or two, or more------common if you haven't noticed. In a case like this, they charge all of them with attempted murder and let them plea bargain, also to get anyone not really involved to sing like a canary. Tried and true tactic, proven to work. Look at the list of charges against OJ in the Las Vegas case where they threw the book at him------probably delayed justice.
The reason I brought the attempted murder up to start with is in a local case two men kicked a man while down outside a casino AND it was caught on camera (don't know about Tennessee but surveillance cameras are required in bars here, interesting story about that but too long) AND the two men were charged with attempted murder------true story. Unfortunately in the Thug U case the OIC in charge "forgot" to check the film that night, and, lo and behold, it was defective in the morning. Coincidence or convenience? So poor Dooley couldn't tell who the real culprit was so he couldn't punish anyone, LOL, well he did suspend one for the 52-0 laugher, that'l learn em durn em.. Wonder why he didn't take them in one at a time and tell them they were off the team if they didn't talk, wonder how many of them would have covered for their teammate that some of them MIGHT have been ashamed of anyway------but then they were TU players. It was a 6' 5" 320# DT against a 5' 10" fatty to start with, you know, but being a TU player maybe he needed all that help, eight on one seems fair to some people------people known as thugs.
Then they repeated the scene against an off duty police officer on their way out. Funny, I thought policemen were supposed to prevent and punish crime, (they nailed me the other day for an "improper stop" at a stop sign, a ridiculous charge for someone that stopped with NO danger involved------of course they reduced it to a parking ticket, with the same fine of course) not laugh it off, but no charges, no lawsuit (by either party, in our sue crazy ambulance chasing society). Weird, unless there were other "compensations" like TU just awarded the other plaintiffs recently,, legal taxpayers cash in that case, but this would have to be jobs, cars, season tickets, etc etc. Maybe they were honored as fan of the month at a game, you know, taking one for the team. Funny, but in my officials association you were REQUIRED to press charges against any fan or coach that laid a hand on you, or you were kicked out of the association.
What makes the local case more noticeable is there were only two men involved, they weren't huge athletes, AND the victim required NO medical attention while the thugs victims went to the hospital, one with a concussion.
Amazing set of coincidences to see NO charges OR lawsuits by anybody, I think I will get a group together and go out and have some fun------but then I don't know any real thugs, and yours were probably amped up on steroids..
Thanks for the opportunity to elaborate, come play again, we don't want it to be forgotten.
