🏈 Ro's downward spiral saga continues...

[Sgt. Lincoln Osiris]

Sad.

Classic case of taking the kid out of the hood, but not being able to take the hood out of the kid.

 

[PCRammer]

Seems like his reason for not loving football at one time was because having a young sons changed his perspective on life. Buuut doing stupid shit like this is better for his sons? WTF Ro.

 

[BamaFan334]

Is he "allowed" around the program? I feel like those with the most success are always visiting practice, A-Day, Pro Days etc. This will most likely do it for him, but maybe getting him back to the peak of his success will atleast stop the fall.

 

[Tidestalker]

I hope he saved/invested/planned for a disaster. Don't know if he graduated but it appears that degree wouldn't be much help in jail. He was the most impressive LB I had watched in college football. Bummer

 

[planomateo]

The window tint excuse...sons of bitches. Hell, the way some of the cops are handling their business these days, he's lucky he didn't get shot.

:sarcasm:

 

[rueben]

He's dead to me.

 

[JoseyWalesTheOutlaw]

JMO but Ro has used up all his tokens at the Give a Shet Machine......sorry for the interruption

 

[T&B]

He's dead to me.

C'mon man. He's still young. Marijuana ? Firearms ? Government needs to stay out of both.

Let me know when he gets stoned, and pistol whips a cashier during an armed robbery.

"pulled over for window tint violation" Give me a fu@k!n# break.

Im far less worried about people driving with guns in their cars than I am cops who envision this country a police state.

If this was his first issue... yeah I agree.

But at this point, he should only be found outside on Thursday evenings walking from library to church for choir practice. I'm not worried about the specifics of weed and a pistol, as I am am the over all dumbassery of it all.

When he was living in Tuscaloosa, after the whole Baltimore retirement, he was around the program alot but I dont know about since then.

This...

I find it interesting that the same people that will make the argument about "gimme my guns!" will say things like "he's dead to me" when it comes to this stuff...

It's the law tho, and you have to abide by it or pay the consequences. I hope one day he can finally get right because I think he would be an amazing coach if he can ever get his mind right. His playing days are probably over, sadly.

 

[rueben]

As I said, if this was a first offense ( like Cam Rob) I would have been on his side. . Yeah, I'm pro gun, but then again I'm not registered in the EPIC data base either. I'm not even worried about his possession of weed. More about his aggravated stupidity and possession of ignorance with intent to distribute.

 

[XXL TideFan]

Should have never set foot back in the area except for a very brief visit to his mom or other family. I joined the Navy and left Gadsden for good. If I hadn't the ol' gang would have sucked me down with them.

Right on brother...we were all young and stupid once....but some grew up...
And moved on...aint about being black...or guns..or the cops...its just being stupid....

Or you could stop being so damn judgemental about the non-violent behavior of other people.

Maybe, just maybe, we should be more judgemental of the actual violence that occurred in this incident ... by the cops.

He has a long history of not obeying the law, and not following the conduct required of his employer. This isn't an isolated incident. Don't be high or drunk and carry, period. If your employer requires you to not test positive for drugs, either comply or go find a job that doesn't require it.

Ro should've cut off all ties with Decatur the day he signed with the Raiders. His continuing to go back and "hang with his boys" has been his downfall. He was running with the wrong crowd when HS football pulled him away and then Saban signed him to BAMA. If you go back and look, except for maybe one incident, all of his troubles stem from his being in Decatur. Best to cut ties from those that are more leech than friend. There comes a time when the light should've turned on and said, " I do things and the cops pull me over and arrest me! I need to stay away from here!" A lot like teachers that talk about the bad kids they have in class. The reputation follows the kid and that next teacher looks for every single thing to slam the kid on rather than give him a clean slate. Police are human too and will look for those with that reputation. "Window tint" was evidently enough for a cop to make that decision. While people will argue about "weed should be legal and the 2nd amendment and right to carry", right now, there are still laws that say otherwise.

My aunt used to always blame my cousins issues on his friends... How many times you heard someone is "hanging with the wrong crowd"?

At this point, it ain't Ro's friends bringing him down. He IS the wrong crowd.

We refer to that in the education field as..... the common denominator!

You're confirming my point: the reflex to criticize nonconformity, rather than questioning the requirement to conform. "Don't do this ... don't do that ... period." Like Pavlov's Dogs, just repeating what was beaten into you (metaphorically or possibly literally) without any critical thinking or curiously questioning the merits of the commands. In this thread we have posters heaping criticism on a guy who isn't [apparently] bothering or infringing on anyone else's rights. Yet only one poster (before me) expressed criticism of the cops. This is why we are losing freedom in this country. At the base of all our institutions and leaders are too many "good little citizens" who pile on offenders of [victimless] laws without first demanding a rationale for the laws. And if you agree that some laws are senseless and merely relics of an ignorant age, then you must expect people to break them. Hell, people already break useful laws as it is.
