I saw some of that in the other thread.

I just expect all the top recruits to go to SC. Sucks. Would be nice to start winning some recruiting battles against them. LSU seems way more fun when they are winning, but I’m bias.

I guess the folks on here calling for her torture got what they wanted.

I don't care about any of that. They cut up an innocent girl with a box cutter? and she crushed her skull with a chunk of cement. Cannot imagine the terror that girl went through.

I don't care about torture, but why should she exist after that? That should be forfeiting your existence away.

In 2001, Christa was charged with the attempted murder of a fellow inmate and sentenced to an additional 25 years.

It's really easy not to kill someone in this life. It's even more disturbing a woman could carry this crap out. This isn't some spur of the moment thing. They lured her and had a lookout. They smashed her skull like an egg.

How do people just forget about the actual victim? Now they claim she's the victim, because she had some troubled childhood. Many have troubled childhoods and are raped and they don't go out killing teenage girls like that. Now Christina is the "victim." It's so disgusting to me.

All these people defending her like how about you have your 16 year old killed by an 18 year old girl in the same manner. This isn't some "typical" murder. Some say her execution won't bring peace to the actual victim's mother, but this is what she wants. She wants the last image Christina sees is a picture of the daughter whose life she took. Seems like seeing this through is very important to her.

According to the teen girl who was the lookout she thought they were just going to beat her up. Again, not right, but more understandable given this type of environment.

Fear and Freezing Up During the Attack
Once they reached the isolated area on the University of Tennessee agricultural campus and the brutal assault began, Peterson claimed she became paralyzed by fear. She testified that she did not physically participate in the beating, slashing, or the final killing blows dealt by Pike and Shipp. Instead, she stood by and acted as a lookout because she was terrified of what Pike—who was acting with extreme, volatile violence—might do to her if she tried to intervene or run away.

quote:

"The idea that Slemmer wanted to "steal" Shipp was a false rumor that Christa Pike manufactured in her own mind. Slemmer's friends and family explicitly stated that she had absolutely no interest in Shipp and was merely trying to complete her computer technology training at the Job Corps."

Christina comes across as a liar. I listen to her to this day and still feel that she is a liar. I'm currently watching the doc on this that is clearly slanted to be anti death penalty and pro Christina Pike is a victim and it's disgusting. Never once does she even show any remorse. She just says she was a dumb teen. Maybe she has shown remorse before, but if a doc is being made she should should have a point to say how horrible she was and how terrible she felt for what she did. I never saw her mention anything about the victim or her family.

It's wild to me if someone saw this going down and shot her dead nobody would have a problem with putting her down, but now she's being made out to be a victim and people feel some kind of way for her.

People against the death penalty also want to argue it's so much worse to sit there in prison, but she gets to have friends and even some outreach programs. She gets to have pen pals willing to try and help bust her out as well as one of the guards she befriended. Christa Pike was the target of a foiled prison escape plot in March 2012." All of life's needs are provided to her. It's not luxury, but it's better than many people that have to worry about how their needs are going to get met. My thing is this judge in the doc was trying to make her out to be some victim due to her upbringing and young age says it's not her fault, but then she says it's so much worse for her to sit in prison reflecting on it. If she is some victim then why does she want her to suffer so much if being in prison is so much worse? It's also interesting how Pike was terrified of being put down, but she doesn't appear to have any remorse towards the life she ended.

Seems like they've had some really awful defenses. Hard to overcome no matter who you are.

So tired of this.

He was at Ole Miss for like 5 or 6 years.

Absolutely not. That's not that brutal.

quote:

---

Didn’t know he was born in BR.

His dad was a Center for Ole Miss too. I love how thankful his dad is.

I've seen a few articles about his dad being proud of his son like this one from his time in High School.

quote:

---

His father, Daverin Geralds, shared his pride in his son and his story as he choked back tears of joy.

"He's become... I'm super proud of the man he's becoming and growing to be. He has a very unique story. Story of adversity. Story of overcoming and finding a deeper, stronger power from within," his father said.

His father said Deuce’s work ethic and drive to uplift others have always set him apart.

"Everything that's been laid in front of him, he's approached it with a relentless effort, with a relentless pursuit. His desire to be great. His desire is to make everyone around him better. It's unmatched," he said.

Author: Akilah Winters credit. Awesome stuff.

Why do the refs hate the Saints so much. Obvious missed hold in the middle of the play and that would likely make this a FG possession.

Clark has great energy

Surprised they called holding as well.

Yup. He ran all over LSU. Could not stop him previously.

His accuracy is so bad though.

Their QB is really bad
