Actually, he and another woman were beating the victim.


But hey, he apologized afterward.

Five star recruit? No biggie.

He apologized so let's move on.

We all know there's two systems of justice in this country.

One for the 'entitled' group (celebrities, professional athletes, and high profile college athletes), and the other for the rest of us poor schmucks.

It will be interesting to see if Mississippi State rescinds its offer.

5 star recruits are the best of the best. Since he is a SEC recruit I wonder if his scholarship gets pulled. Ah what am I talking about SEC schools take any criminal lol!!!

I did not see the footage of the alleged assault. I will wait until I see it, before I come to any conclusions.

Who knows what happened before this video started, and he's a kid right? Kids do stupid stuff all the time.

If the woman who appears to be the victim presses charges, then the kid should face civil/criminal charges, but this whole mindset that if someone makes a mistake in their personal time (especially at a young age) that they should be destroyed professionally is off the rails.

How many of you have Driven Drunk?

8.3% of us did in the last year.

How many of you have used illegal drugs?

8.9% of us did in the last year.

An 18 year old is not a 'kid.'

And when I was 18 years old, I certainly never dreamed of repeatedly punching a woman in the face as she's on the ground.

Assaulting a woman is not a 'mistake,' it's a criminal and reprehensible act.

Jail time?

Sure, unless you're a 5 star recruit.
I'm sure the colleges paying good money (under the table of course) are going to make sure he get's a slap on the wrist. They have billions they need to make off this kid in the next few years.
