It's not so much that as it is the two guys that were actually in the car in a closed park (with which I am familiar) at night, with a stolen gun...are we seriously having this discussion?

Maybe the cops screwed up the case. Maybe they did it on purpose. Maybe there wasn't enough evidence. My point is that where there is smoke there is fire. You are living in a fantasy if you think otherwise.

Maybe your own desires cloud your judgement, but like I said...I don't care if the guys play.

I have no desires in the matter, personally. I'm just interested in the intensity of the blowback that suggests the reason given -- which is a cornerstone of our legal system and not an obscure technicality - can't be valid in this particular case.

(The "on purpose" angle supposes that 1) a Louisiana cop had a vested interest in protecting Bama players, even local ones; and 2) s/he knew their identities before s/he initiated the search. Seems iffy.)

Edit: And, yes, I understood what the thrust of your comment was, and I get that. But your reply touches on whether they're supporting felons or not rather than just berating them for getting so excited about football. It's a moot issue if no actual foundation for charges can be established.
