I mean yea there’s a difference obviously but you’re still talking about a 21 year old college athlete potentially fighting his brother who’s a minor in his custody if IIRC. Not great.

That's not his son. It's his brother.

What's the universal older brother's solution to his little brother acting like an a-hole?

have none of you horse pussys ever been in a fist fight with your brother?

Got into it with my brothers plenty. Same with some friend groups. Never needed the cops called once, certainly not twice.

Even got into some arguments that escalated in college and beyond with cops called….never arrested

I’m not going to defend RaRa here. He clearly has an issue, needs more help and hope he gets a fresh start with his life

I feel like he gets some leeway if he is raising a family member while in College. I have no idea the situation or what happened?

I would like to know what happened. Everyone jumping to conclusions based on media clickbait headlines without any official details whatsoever. I beat the shite out of my little brother many times. Even when he grew up bigger than me, I could still whip his arse. I just want details.

After reading some of the comments I’m kind of backtracking on my statement if he does have a little brother juvenile who is an a-hole, which might be the case I wish there would be more if he suspended and definitely there may be more to the story if it is true, he is raising his little brother And his little brother is an a-hole. Imagine how RaRa feels knowing his little brother could have possibly just ruin his career and possibly his life

There was a story about his family situation but I can't find it. Does anyone remember it?

I can give him some grace, but he has to find another team. He isn't the only person this effects. .

I wonder if the false imprisonment charges were dropped the first time because he was just grounding his brother for being a shithead? In Georgia, isn't spanking your child legal? Maybe that's why the family violence charges were dropped?

Just asking questions, I have no idea of the facts.

GA law specifically allows for the reasonable corporal punishment of children.

Grounding a child would not result in a false imprisonment charge.

The victim in the false imprisonment charge in the prior arrest was his girlfriend who suffered physical injuries. The charge was dismissed due to his entering a diversion program.

On the Clarke County's Clerk of Superior COurt's case tracker, the first arrest involved some chick and not a little brother or family member or whatever. I googled her and she's half naked in 80 percent of her Instagram photos.

Not trying to directly compare situations or anything but did Adam Anderson ever officially get kicked off the team? IIRC he was suspended indefinitely and just kind of disappeared. I could see this playing out similarly, where he just is suspended indefinitely but is never publicly booted.

No sooner did I post this that I saw Radi say it was official that he’s off the team so that answers that. Lol
