I didn't intend to suggest that he may commit this particular violation all the time. It's the FACT that there are other violations from which to choose, along with the little fed. inv. thingy. Dude seems to find trouble, that's all.

Other than traffic violations and being questioned but not charged by the feds, what else is there? I want solid proof, facts as you put it, not hearsay.

Here's the point some are missing...

Bonnette said the Saturday afternoon incident was a catalyst for the suspension of the highly recruited player but not the only reason.
“He (Miles) weighs every situation differently and he made the decision,” Bonnette said. “It had to do with a combination of things.”

It's not just this incident, which is a minor offense by itself. Lots goes on behind the scenes that none of us know about. We have no clue about that stuff, but Miles does.

For us to say what the penalty should be is crazy. We don't know all of it. All we know is that this was the incident that triggered the suspension.

You are right. But I want to hear it from CLM, not Bonnette. Bonnette has been known to change his story. No knock on him personally, but he just says what the LSU PR people tell him to.

Don't forget the current issue. I never said that ANY of these things were felonies. I did, however, say that there is a pattern of stupidity. I haven't offered up any heresay. But that's three seperate "little" things, only counting the traffic violations as one thing.

A few comments:

1. Perrilloux received a misdemeanor summons. A ticket. He never saw a cell. This is petty, victimless crime that most of us didn't know existed. Hell, I've been in many a bar as an underaged teenager and got told to hit the street sometimes, but I never knew I could be ticketed for it.

2. Perrilloux rates his suspension for once again embarassing LSU in the media. He should probably sit out game one.

3. Perrilloux doesn't rate dismissal for such a minor incident. If every school in the SEC dismissed players for petty misdemeanors like speeding, passing bad checks, fights, noise code violations, etc., all the teams would lose a lot of players. Les quickly dismisssed players for commiting felonies involving victims, which is commendable and important. It is equally important to recognize that a non-violent misdemeanor is quite different.

4. Perrilloux was one of many dozens of potential witnesses to a suspected counterfeiting ring. Interviewing with investigators is not a crime nor an indication of involvement in a crime. Perrilloux was not charged with a crime and the matter is over as far as anyone can tell. That is all that is on the record. Rumors that make any more of this can't seem to document them with a source on the record.

5. Perrilloux is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. After bringing LSU nothing but bad press and being unable to pass Russell or Flynn to make a significant contribution to the team, . . . you'd think a fellow would be smart enough to keep his nose clean. He made himself a high-profile player and he is going to get a lot of media attention. He better damn well start delivering some positive press and spectacular football to remain an asset to the team. That is the message I suspect Les is giving him.

I totally support what CLM does. He knows the whole story and RP's heart. If he's not getting the message CLM will know and take appropriate action for the team and University.

red,

If entering a casino under the age of 21 was a victimless crime, why did the security officers Not let him on the boat? They should have let him waltz on in and do what he please, right?

Hm, maybe because the casino would be fined for allowing someone under 21 onto their boat.

Seems like there is a victim to me if they would have to pay a fine.

You must understand what a victim is, amigo.

Victim noun

One who is harmed by or made to suffer from an act, circumstance, agency, or condition

In common usage, victimless crime refers to behavior that is illegal but does not violate or threaten the rights of anyone and may be associated with the implication that the behavior should therefore not be illegal.

Passing a fake ID creates no victim. The guards cannot be considered to be victims if they got fired for failing to follow their own rules. That would be a result of their acts, not Perrilloux's.

What's the record for postings on a thread in 24hours? I'm assuming it had to be about Saban.

Casinos are never the victims. :nope: They make tens of millions of dollars a month by making their very own guests the victims. If you are feeling sorry for the casino, brother you got it all wrong.
