I think the University will remove them from school. And I've got a feeling the last person they want to look in the eye is CNS. I really hate it for the victims and CNS. Coach poors everything he's got into these kids.

Re: Four Bama football players arrested - was progress of Eddie Williams & B. Callowa
William, that era (2000-2006) was not really a great era in UA football, particularly in the discipline area. I'd hoped we'd put most of that kind of thing behind us. Welcome to the real world. I feel like Williams' statement about not paying, going to his trunk and it's turning out that he had heat in there, goes far beyond bravado. I'm just so happy the gun was gone when all this went down yesterday...

Thus far, however, I'd be lying if I said that they haven't put one heckuva damper on it.
If only temporarily...
Most importantly, as you say, I pray for the victim(s) here...
I'm trying, aj, I'm trying.

If one of these kids had died from the blows to the head or been paralyzed by the kicks to the body would you consider them thugs then?:BigA:
Re: Four Bama football players arrested - was progress of Eddie Williams & B. Callowa
Look up Thug and you'll see it being mentioned as repeated violence act.
Re: Four Bama football players arrested - was progress of Eddie Williams & B. Callowa
My daughter is in grad school at the Capstone right now...if she had been one of the victims...God help those 3 as they probably wouldn't have been around much longer and it wouldn't have been just me! She has a very protective Uncle who is a former US Marine! Praying for the victims & their families.They should of course go to prison. They have laid their hands on people and beat them in such a way that they may have permanently been injured or killed them. They can just take a great sign of relief it was not my daughter or son. But then again the relatives or friends of the students may think the way I do. Watch your backs boys.:BigA::BigA:
Re: Four Bama football players arrested - was progress of Eddie Williams & B. Callowa
Well, they've done it twice. How many times is required to be thug certified?
Four Bama football players arrested...
They'll be gone soon and we'll be talking about gunning for 16! Seems to me anyway...

They repeatedly hit them in the head and kicked them. Two different incidences. That's repeating. These are the times they have been caught. And your OK with it being your Mom or Daughter?
Re: Four Bama football players arrested...
It seems the older I become, the more difficult it is to be surprised by practically anything. So, while dismayed I cannot claim to be shocked by the criminal behavior of these young men.
As the two parent family continues to be a thing of the past and pop culture glorifies violence it's actually surprising we don't see more of this happening. I'm not saying having both parents solves all ills but a stable upbringing while taking considerable effort, at least gives children the chance to learn right from wrong and the fact we are all responsible for both our actions and inaction in life.

I don't feel sorry for these idiot thugs. I feel sorry for their victims. These former players deserve no sympathy regardless if they wore crimson or played for the Barn. If they did this at least twice there is no telling how many other times they may of done it, or worse. These clowns deserve to be behind bars along with the rest of our societies criminals.
Getting kicked off the team is the least of their worries. Some are looking at a Class B felony. Good luck with that and good riddance.

good people make bad decisions (ex. late for curfew, miss class, post crap on twitter) all the time and most learn their lesson after getting caught or called out on it.
good people don't go around beating the crap out of someone and stealing from them. that is what a bad person does. whether you want to classify them as a thug or not they are considered a bad person.

Re: Four Bama football players arrested - was progress of Eddie Williams & B. Callowa
I just don't understand what these players were thinking..Throwing away the golden opportunity to set up the rest of their lives either with a career in the NFL or in the business world with a diploma from The University Of Alabama..An opportunity the rest of us can only dream about..What ticks me off..Is the fact it happened right after signing day..We turned away some mighty good players who wanted to come to Alabama & we simply didn't have room for them..They would have been more than happy to take these 4 players spot..

They are Thugs, though not in the historical sense.
Re: Four Bama football players arrested - was progress of Eddie Williams & B. Callowa
I agree....if any variation of these charges are accurate, they sailed past thugdom without looking, skidding right into felony land.
Re: Four Bama football players arrested - was progress of Eddie Williams & B. Callowa
Let me make a point which has not been made yet. When someone is beaten into a state of unconsciousness, it can't be ascertained if they are dead or not, except by checking for vital signs - breathing, pulse, etc. When these thugs left their victims, so far as they knew, they were murderers. That is, unless, unless you want to believe that they were tender and caring enough to lean down and check for breathing, check the wrist for pulse, etc. That's heavy. It would have been capital (death penalty) murder. I believe that, if Williams hadn't had his gun confiscated the day before, we would have been looking at a murder charge, judging from the ferocity and violence of the attack. In fact, the more I've thought about it, in Williams' case, I think that he wasn't looking for a few bucks from a vending machine so much as looking for someone to punish...

Two incidents so close together, it definitely looks like something set him off. It's a completely inappropriate response, but unless there were smaller problems over the year, it seems a weird "jumping off point." OTOH, I find it hard to believe this was a first incident considering the apparent ferocity of the assault.
Re: Four Bama football players arrested - was progress of Eddie Williams & B. Callowa
What have we come to when University of Alabama students need protection from the school's football players. Nick Saban should have swiftly dismissed all but Calloway from the team.

His "indefinite suspensions" have turned out to be dismissal in every case...
