The SGA / Enough Of This BS
« Last post by Snaggletiger on May 10, 2024, 10:54:13 AM »
A snippet from foxnews

A teenage anti-Israel agitator who police say defaced a World War I memorial in New York City earlier this week has been arrested and charged after his father turned him in to police Thursday night, the NYPD says.

The 16-year-old boy is accused of defacing the 107th United States Infantry monument, located along Central Park on the Upper East Side, by spray-painting "Gaza" in red across the base of the structure.                                                                 

NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Operations Kaz Daughtry, last night posted an image on X, formerly Twitter, of the young vandal in handcuffs sitting on a bench inside a police station.


BTW, they also said this SIXTEEN year old is a regular at all these protests. Looks like Dad finally had enough of his kid's bullshit, and made him actually face the consequences for his actions.

In the midst of all these protests and riots that are all to common in this country, we constantly hear how protesting is sewn into the fabric of our 1st Amendment rights. Okay, I get it, but "protests" these days have very little to do with an actual cause anymore, and more to do with a chance to destroy shit and show what an utter dumbass you can be.

The anti-Israel protests have been going on for some time, and the longer the they go, the more destruction and vandalism we see.  Some college campuses are basically shutting down activities like commencement ceremonies, or the school altogether.  Each day, we see interviews with some of the protesters, and I just have to shake my head at the thought of the future of this country.

 Oftentimes, we see that a lot of these idiots have no idea why they're out there, or what they're trying to accomplish.  And three times in the last week, I've seen these entitled pricks claiming the University is letting them down, because they're not providing food and water and basic necessities to the very assholes who have taken over the campus.

And speaking of accomplishments, what exactly have you accomplished?  Let's see.  You've shut down campuses.  Participated in blatant racism.  Vandalized property.  Taken over buildings. Shut down traffic.  Oh yeah, gotten hundreds of you arrested.  Have you changed one damn thing?  That would be a big, fat NOPE!

What did the George Floyd protests/riots accomplish? There were well over 500 of them across the nation, so they must have caused significant change, right?  Change to the tune of over $500 million in property damage, an estimated 60% of which was uninsured.  25 deaths and countless people's lives ruined. Well, I guess you can say there were a lot of cities who decided to defund their police departments and put more people out of work, and make those cities less safe.  Job well done.

How about the Ferguson "protests? In the Ferguson area alone, an estimated $4.6 million in damage to buildings and an estimated 17 businesses completely destroyed.  Why?  I'll never forget the live coverage and one reporter standing outside a burning building and saying, "This is no protest.  This is like a carnival atmosphere."

How about January 6th? Donald Trump told the crowd to march up to the Capitol and peacefully make your voices heard.  Idiots couldn't stop there, though.  They had to go next level and basically take over the building.  Damage was done and at least one life lost.  Did you accomplish a damn thing?  How bout', NOOOOOO......!

I get protesting.  I get making your voice heard.  But we're to the point that all too often, it morphs into nothing more than an opportunity to show what a brain dead moron you really are.  Time to start changing some laws.  You want to protest?  Fine.  You want to fuck things up?  Fine too, but you won't be doing it again.

I'm not so sold on Freeze just yet but I do think his approach and plan seems more in line with the CEO type that we have all wanted for Auburn for a very long time.
It looks sustainable.

But Darden absolutely sunk any slim chance they had. His blunders were inexplicable, most notably the "glove" experiment which backfired on him.

Clark and Darden had agreed to not have OJ put the glove on.  Then Cochrane told Darden that he didn't have a mouse's balls if he didn't have OJ try on the glove.  When Darden stands to tell Ito that they're going to try the glove, you can see Clark look up at him in shock.

I thought we established a standard here over the years concerning up and comers v. known quantities... re: loss of Hood/loss of Riley.


But thanks for catching me up on Spring practice notes because I did not know the kid was so highly coveted in the secondary.

All that said....think we are fine on both positions. Was worried about the DL until this recent import of portal additions. Every position seems to be in good shape right. Not huge huge depth at some but our starting 22 should be solid.

Not sure why we are worrying about it. 

According to the radio and al.communist? Bammer done won the next seven or ten nashnul champeenships.

Both will be top 10 preseason, so I can't wait for the media drivel come Oct/Nov.

If we pick up another couple of solid pieces, we could be top 5 preseason.

Went to a homicide class taught by a guy heavily involved in aftermath of the case. He was able to show stuff that was deemed inadmissible in court.

100000% percent, OJ did it. The lead detective was hot garbage as well as prosecutors.

Dude did it.

Agree....they go through a ton of that on the 30 for 30 K mentioned. I watched the whole thing and felt like I had exercised all day. It was exhausting to watch and relive it. Marcia Clark wasn't particularly bad, but Darden was. Clark had an uphill battle the whole way.....no way she was ever winning that case with the way everything was stacked and the ineptness of the detectives/LAPD. But Darden absolutely sunk any slim chance they had. His blunders were inexplicable, most notably the "glove" experiment which backfired on him.

No. Colton. Rod is his uncle. He was absolutely our nickelback and made huge strides this spring. #3 cb coming out of spring. Regularly held his own covering Coleman in spring practice.

Losing him this year hurt worse than if we had lost him last year. He was a key piece of the secondary this year. He was not last year.

Lot of that had to do with his growth in the off season and the departure of 3 CB’s in Pritchett, James and Simpson.

Not so worried as I am intrigued about CBP's knack for attracting talent at Auburn. We only lack about two pieces to make this a formidAUble  ("Buzz" word) lineup of veteran hoopsters on the Plains.


True, as it is written by aol.com scribes etc..  the mahty Tahd is flexing its blueblood status over all that would dare challenge its magnificence.


Auburn fans can however at least draw comfort knowing that our little program will be present and accounted for when March rolls around.
