    I was talking about McClain's gun incident in Oakland, wasn't aware he was arrested prior to that, and while Kirkpatrick was techically a student, he announced he was entering the draft and already agent'd up.

    Yeah that's similar to being finished with HS finals and knowing all grades are in/passing but not having had the Grad ceremony yet. Essentially, a gone pecon.

    Football players’ victim speaks out after arrests

    When Samuel Jurgens woke up on a sidewalk outside of Paty Hall shortly before 1 a.m. Monday morning, he thought he was dreaming. His face was numb, his headphones lay nearby, bloodied and broken, and he didn’t recognize where he was. His backpack, containing clothes, books and his Apple Macbook Pro, was gone.
    Jurgens struggled to get up, fading in and out of consciousness, and stumbled toward Blount Hall, where he had spent the night hanging out with friends.
    On his way across the parking lot between Paty and Blount, he placed a call to his friend, fellow sophomore Chris Burks.
    “I apparently called Chris while in that state,” Jurgens said in an interview with The Crimson White Tuesday night. “I don’t have a recollection of that, but I told him something. Something bad has happened to me, I remember thinking before I faded out again.”
    Burks, who had spent the evening with Jurgens, said Jurgens called him about 20 minutes after they had parted for the night. He sounded delirious, Burks said, and repeated “I don’t know what happened, I need your help,” multiple times. Burks and another friend, Anna Richardson, hurried to meet Jurgens at the front door of the dorm.
    “His left side of his face was gigantic,” Burks said. “The jacket he was wearing and his headphones were completely drenched in blood, the bottom half of his face was completely covered in blood; he was bleeding badly from his lip. He had clearly been badly beaten.”
    ...
    “He didn’t know what was going on. He couldn’t tell us what happened when we first sat him down,” Burks said. “We had been playing a game in my room about 15 minutes before it happened, and he was saying he thought that was days ago. He couldn’t remember anything.” Richardson said Jurgens’ headphones were completely shattered on the left side, the same side of his face that was swollen and lacerated. “We thought it must have been an object [that broke the headphones], but when we got a look at the guys who were arrested, it could have very well been their fists; they were huge,” Richardson said.

    ...

    Jurgens still cannot recall specifics from the attack itself, but remembers the moments leading up to it. Walking from Blount toward his home on Hackberry Lane, he was listening to music when he heard someone ask him a question.

    As he pulled his headphones off his ears, Jurgens saw someone approach from his left and ask if he had a lighter.
    Jurgens replied that he didn’t and replaced his headphones before hearing the man ask again. He replied the same and turned to walk away.
    “That’s when I guess something happened,” he said. “I woke up, my face was swollen, I had cuts, and I had a concussion. Police say that’s probably when they hit me; I just know right after that I lost consciousness and I regained consciousness on the sidewalk, staring at the sky.”
    Jurgens said he doesn’t remember being suspicious about the exchange before the attack.
    “He just was very nonchalant and asked for a light,” Jurgens said.
    ...
    “From what I’ve been told by the police of what they did to me, it could be much worse. I don’t have any hernia in my eyes, which my doctor was concerned about. Considering how athletic and strong they are, it could be a lot worse.”
    When asked if he believed his attackers used excessive force during the assault, Jurgens said he “definitely thinks so.”
    “The police report doesn’t say that they just punched me and robbed me,” he said. “They punched me, they kicked me in my back, in my ribs. I would definitely classify it as excessive.”
    ...
    “It’s almost like they were doing it for fun, because it seemed weird that they didn’t rob me of my wallet or phone or keys,” he said. “But, I just know they sure did an efficient job because I can’t recall parts of it even today.”

    I think this is an appropriate time to use the word Thugs.

    and that's just the first student they beat into unconsciousness that night. the other one was Caleb Lewis Paul, who they attacked at approximately 1:33am in a parking lot on the Alabama campus. according to the court documents, they "physically attacked him with punches to the head and face" and "Eddie Williams admitted to investigators that he physically assaulted Caleb L. Paul and rendered him unconscious. Williams admitted to taking his wallet"

    I completely ripped that off from someone in this thread.....but I like it too. My Bama friends do not.

    I keep saying to them, "Ol Honey Badger wasn't that bad of a guy after all, was he?"
