You know how you can tell the rant doesn't really care

Exactly...If Miller's scoring average was 7ppg as Bradley's is, they and also the media wouldn't give a damn about the situation.

He is a great scapegoat for this entire mess. The rant wants him suspended so bad they can’t help themselves. It’s the only chance they have at beating us, we are pissed off and driven.

Hopefully this translates to the court going forward need to play much better than last night.

I really don’t know why we are so surprised at the venom being spewed. Alabama, because of football, is hated by probably 90% of the rest of CFB. Why? Success, specifically their jealousy and envy of it. Now add that Alabama is also on top of the CBB world, with star coach a star player, and it’s the cherry on top of their Haterade milkshake. They never respected Alabama in any way before this incident, so all this does is pour gas on their fire. I don’t know why anyone of us would expect anything different.

You can't take someone serious that starts off with "he provided the gun" instead of "he returned the gun owners gun when contacted". When someone distorts the story to create a slanted narrative they are no longer working for the truth of the matter and are counter productive at best, out right liar at worst.

A lot of the Miller narrative from fans and media hinges on Miller having precognition.

You are already driving picking up your buddy. You get a text message ~5 minutes before you arrive essentially saying he feels threatened by an individual and may need his gun.

What do you do?

Call the police when you’re a young black man and there is a significant, somewhat justified mistrust of law enforcement

OR

You continue to the pickup spot, hope he would jump into your car and let you drive off so he can be safe from this individual?

I think just about everyone his age - hell maybe even myself at twice his age - is picking the second option.

He would need precognition to know that Miles is going to choose to come to his car, extract his weapon on his own accord, and give it to another man who decides to fire an entire magazine into a car with multiple passengers.

I would like to see the percentage of them if Miller were their son, given the facts we have, would be so quick to turn their back on him.

But are we sure that’s happened? Did Miller go someplace to retrieve the gun, put in his car and deliver? Or was the gun already in the car?
There is a difference.
Most believe the former and also believe Miller blocked the vehicle the victim was in from escaping. An active participant in a crime. That’s why they’re lathered up about this and it’s all from incompetent and downright dishonest media.
Another thing, if this happened at Michigan, Duke, UCLA or OSU, would all the media be so filled with “righteous indignation”? I tend to think not.

Yep. Our is a society that has lost all sense of graciousness and exchanged it for sanctimonious moralism.

I would far rather live beneath the objective morality of God than the subjective and capricious morality of men who play god.

I haven’t defended Brandon Miller’s actions at all during this situation. I have tried to explain there numerous times why he hasn’t been charged with a crime from a legal perspective. Even an innocent legal explanation (and I’m explaining it as an actual lawyer) is looked down upon.
