Star basketball player brings loaded weapon to the scene, with a teammate in tow...hands it off, and the receiver proceeds to let fly with bullets...killing a young woman right then and there, and injuring another target while putting a big smiley face of bullets into the target car.
Roll Tide Coach of #1 Alabama says 'nothing to see here, wrong place wrong time,' although he does moonwalk the statement after public outcry.
Hmmmn.
Your thoughts, please? Here's mine. If I'm A.D. or President, star player and teammate are thrown off the team and expelled from the university. Now. This isn't even a close call. The rest of us mortal morons would be charged as an accessory to murder.
Coach is suspended (I still don't know how long, 1 game or ... ?) with a press conference upon his return discussing the topic of why...he...is...colossally stupid.
Here's the most interesting of it all. You've got The Power of The Tide - and all of its branches - involved here. A #1 basketball team with a championship at stake. This university, athletic department, and boosters have about a gazillion dollars in which to play. You have power out the wazoo, and influence into the tiniest hidden corners of anything Alabama...including law enforcement, legislative factors, and judicial decisions.
Will Alabama do anything RIGHT in this situation??
