How is this the same thing fukk boy?I just realised that @CrimsonTider is the WOAT constantly @ing me into shooting threads about how judges are too soft and violence needs stronger consequences. Straight up said, "And no I don’t give a fukk about black criminals. I care about the victims, their families and the neighborhoods."
He's seriously dumping all his principles solely because it's Alabama. All the sudden he don't give a shyt about the victims, he's just here to shout "Roll Tide!" cause Brandon Miller scored 40 in a sports game.
He’s a right wing, law and order zealot except when it comes to his team, just like a racist cac.I just realised that @CrimsonTider is the WOAT constantly @ing me into shooting threads about how judges are too soft and violence needs stronger consequences.

Those aren’t receipts…wtfDamn this nikka pulled out the receipts lol
You’re right wing for saying criminals need to be separated from societyHe’s a right wing, law and order zealot except when it comes to his team, just like a racist cac.
Miles texted Miller to bring his gun to where they were, according to police.When Miller got to the scene, Miles told Davis, “The heat is in the hat.” Det. Brandon Culpepper said that meant a gun was present.
Miles added, “There’s one in the head.” That, Culpepper said, meant a round was in the chamber.Miles moved his girlfriend back to get her out of line of fire, Culpepper added.
lol at "I need protection, but rather than just leaving the situation at 1:40am or going back to campus, I need you to drive over to bring me a loaded gun right here where the danger is."
That's some of the stupidest shyt I've heard. Instead of bringing his ass a gun, why not just tell him to LEAVE? Guns are offensive weapons, they don't block gunshots, how the fukk is a gun going to help him if he thinks someone about to do something? Why not just LEAVE the place where you think it will go down first? Go home and you can play with your gun from the safety of your home if you chickenshyt like that.
I don't like how they doin this kid. It's Alabama for 1. A pistol is like losing your wallet there. He returned it. I doubt the dude told him why he wanted it.
No. It's his property. My desire would be to get something like that back to him asap. Now I would tell him he buggin and make him leave with me. But if I couldn't, its not on me what he does with the gun. We holding him more accountable than the person who sold him the gunSo if the dude sent him a text at 1:30am telling him he wanted it cause he needed to settle some beef with someone, you would think different?
This dummy @Rhakim is claiming Miller should be suspended because he’s confusing the text conversation. No matter how many times I tell him he’s a dummy
This you?Oh look, you're lying again. That's what, the 7th time your side has lied in this conversation?
According to Miles’ defense attorney Mary Turner, Miles texted Miller at 1:38 a.m. the day of the shooting, saying “I need my joint [gun] a n****r rl jus got a fakin.”
Court hearing reveals Brandon Miller’s role in fatal shooting
An investigator said in a court hearing that Brandon Miller, a star player on Alabama’s men’s basketball team, was present at the scene of the fatal shooting that killed Jamea Harris on Jan. 15 and led to capital murder charges for his now-former teammate Darius Miles. Miles and Michael Davis...thecrimsonwhite.com
That is the exact text I have quoted over and over for the last five pages. I have never confused it once. Your side keeps distorting events and making up claims because you know how bad the actual sequence looks.
I didn't say he was a murderer, but he needs to be accountable. No one who takes a loaded gun to an angry friend at 1:30am should be able to duck responsibility for the results. Did he really say he left "one in the head"? And you don't think he had some idea of what it was there for?
It's fukking sick. Those same two posters are on record defending Alabama through absolutely anything but this is beyond standom.
At least not everyone in Alabama feels that way:
Roy S. Johnson: Why is Alabama still playing with its blood-stained basketball?
Every dribble, every shot, every Alabama basketball victory from here on this season is tainted by a death that is not deeply embedded in the Tide locker-room.www.al.com
We knew about that.
Those are Nate Oats’ words. His “unfortunate” words, by the Alabama basketball coach’s own description—though not descriptive enough.
Knew about what?
Knew freshman top dog Brandon Miller—according to law enforcement testimony regarding the tragic killing of young mother Jamea Harris early on a January Sunday morning—received a text from then-teammate Darius Miles saying: “I need my joint.” Meaning, I need my gun. The gun Tuscaloosa police say Michael “Buzz” Davis, Miles’ 20-year-old near-lifelong friend, used to kill Harris. Kill her because she was not interested in him, her boyfriend said, as per police. Kill her because the boyfriend told Davis to stop dancing in front of his car.
Knew another player, Jaden Bradley, was also there on that deadly night. In his own car, but there.
Knew Miles took the gun out of the back seat of Miller’s car, revealed also during a riveting and revelatory two hours of testimony by Det. Branden Culpepper on Tuesday, as reported by my colleague Carol Robinson.
Knew Miles allegedly told Davis, “The heat is in the hat.” Translation: The gun is here.
Knew Miles further said: “There’s one in the head.” Translation: A bullet’s in the chamber, making it an instrument of death.
Knew Miles, as Culpepper further testified, moved his own girlfriend out of the line of fire.
We knew about that.
“Can’t control everything everybody does outside of practice,” Oats said. “Nobody knew that was going to happen. College kids are out, Brandon hasn’t been in any type of trouble nor is he in any type of trouble in this case. Wrong spot at the wrong time.
Very unfortunate. Far worse than unfortunate. Unconscionable.
Neither Miller, nor Bradley, is yet charged with a crime.
Tuscaloosa attorney Jim Standridge wrote a statement to Tuscaloosa Patch that was confirmed by AL.com stating Miles asked Miller for a ride to the strip late that early Janury Saturday after Alabama’s Jwin over in LSU. Miles brought his “legal handgun”, the lawyer said, and left it in Miller’s vehicle. Miller “never saw the handgun or handled it,” according to the attorney, adding that he believed Miles concealed his gun under clothing in the back of Miller’s car.
“Brandon does not own a firearm and has never even handled a firearm,” the statement added. “Moreover, he had no knowledge of any intent to use any weapon.”
Here’s what I want to know:
Why is Alabama still playing basketball right now, with this tragic travesty far more embedded in the locker room than we knew? Now, dribbling a basketball stained with a young mother’s blood?
Why are Miller and Bradley playing basketball right now. Shamelessly playing—charged or not? As a family grieves?
What did athletic director Greg Byrne know? And when?
He shared it on the ESPN College Gameday podcast, hosted by Rece Davis and Pete Thamel. “It was ongoing from the get-go when the incident happened,” he said via the ESPN College Gameday podcast, hosted by Rece Davis and Pete Thamel. “It was conversation between myself, Nate Oats, conversation with myself and the president. We have legal counsel involved for the university. We have our different offices within the university that are at least aware of it. We had normal conversations like we do for other issues. That information was shared collectively and collectively we decided that Brandon was able to play.”
Ponder that image. All these men. These, yeah, white men. Collectively—Byrne’s word, remember—deciding what is best for... them? Them with the highest post-season basketball aspirations in decades?
For them and Miller? Them and a young Black man with NBA dreams that—as was collectively decided—should not be stifled or stymied by an early night in January when he transported a gun to a friend and then teammate? A gun used to kill a young Black mom?
We decided that Brandon was able to play.
Able, indeed. Should? No way in hell.
Even if just for a night. For a time. A time when a young man might learn accountbility—though that may too much to expect from the collective that deemed him able.
And deemed Oats able to coach. Coach a team that is now and henceforth this season dribbling a tainted ball—as a five-year-old Black boy cries for his mother.
This you?
The most sensible take.No. It's his property. My desire would be to get something like that back to him asap. Now I would tell him he buggin and make him leave with me. But if I couldn't, its not on me what he does with the gun. We holding him more accountable than the person who sold him the gun
