I see. well, sounds like Rodgers just found himself in the wrong gang.

lol yep! garsh darn it........wrong place at the wrong time. Funny how that happens.

It's a charity event best described as a mass feeding frenzy. The brats are excellent, some people come with shopping bags and fill their freezes.

It's estimated that at the end of the long weekend, 28 tons of partially digested bratwurst will have accumulated in colons across Southern Wisconsin.

... and the average cholesterol level of a Wisconsinite creeps steadily higher!

This is what he gets for not being in GB doing Coach Mac's offseason training program like he was supposed to be...

i'm not sure if he was done with school or what not?

He was at the minicamps, so I'm assuming that all his school stuff is done.

It's not just the Packers:

Steelers rookie WR Holmes arrested

NFL.com wire reports

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (May 27, 2006) -- Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Santonio Holmes was arrested for disorderly conduct at a hotel in South Beach, police said.

Holmes was arrested Friday night. He was released from jail after he signed a promissory note to appear in court to be arraigned, Miami Beach police spokesman Bobby Hernandez said.

The events leading to Holmes' arrest weren't released by police.

Steelers spokesman Dave Lockett said he didn't know about the arrest and couldn't immediately comment on it. Holmes was the Steelers' first-round pick in April out of Ohio State.

What really burns my hide about the Rodgers incident, is that we did not take my buddy Hank Baskett with the pick. Hank was rated higher, was bigger, and would not have gotten into any shit. Plus now I have to like a player on the Eagles for crying out loud.

A young black man fires a gun in the air when attacked by gang members. He must be a gang-banger and a thug. Couldn't be self-defense, could it?

The assumptions being made here say a lot more about the posters than about Cory Rodgers.[/i]

An NFL draft pick who is carrying a loaded gun with him to late night parties is showing very little common sense or intelligence. I don't care what happened or who's fault it was. The kid has a lot to lose...and needs to wise up. I don't see how his actions are defensible.

Welcome Idle.

Why pull a gun? Did the "gang members" he was bumping heads with pull a gun? Why was he carrying a hot pistol? I know a lil something about gangs and while I have no proof I have a bad feeling about this one. Had it been legally owned was one thing but the pistol he had could have been used in a murder. Why carrying it?

Plus when I was young I was always told, you bring a weapon to a fight you better be ready to use it. Wouldn't you agree if you're doing battle with some gang bangers and you pull out a piece you are just asking for someone to get killed? Good damn thing that didn't happen. Ask Ray Lewis how cool it is for his hommies to carry knives. Fight erupts, guys die.

Thats what Im saying. Anytime you pull out a weapon or jump someone you know it aint gonna be the last time you deal with that person. So my question is why did he have the gun? Cuz he was ready to smoke somebody. Not good, not good at all.

I'm sure the outcome is similar to statistics about how many homeowners get shot with their own gun during robberies.

the guy was about to get the sh't beat out of him by a whole group of people for not buying them drinks. he had a gun on him for self defence and shot in into the air to stop what was about to happen. thats what hand guns are for i'm told by the NRA and the likes.

i do have a problem with him not having a permitt for it, but i can see how someone would want to protect themselves. i heard TCU has a gang problem on campus, maybe he had trouble with these guys before and needed to protect himself?

i can't help but think, if this was a white woman in texas that pulled a gun on a bunch of gang members that were threatening her, would this even be an issue? i don't think so

Welcome Red. Nice to see you here. Let me know if you need help setting up a avatar. Anyone else needing one too, PM or email me.

Now you make me think even worse by saying TCU has a campus gang problem.

He had a group of friends, they had a group of friends. SO far the report dont mention any other weapons involved. Why didnt he just fight? i wouldn't even trip if he had traded punches. Maybe even if the gun was legal. But the one he had wasnt and that sets off the warning light. What did he do to these guys if he felt he needed a gat to protect himself from them? Usually stolen guns are bought with the idea that your gonna blast someone and throw it away.

Where do you get the idea the gun wasn't legal? From what I read in the papers down there, it seemed that he was charged with a misdemeanor for unlawful discharge of a weapon (shooting into the air in the city), and there is a possible charge for it being concealed. Apparently in Texas, a permit is not needed as long as the weapon is in the open and visible. Since it may have been in the seat pocket of the car it may have violated that law. Sitting on the seat, it would be legal.

I haven't heard anything about it being stolen, or anything like that at all.

thanks mad, nice job with the site

i don't know about other weapons, but i did hear pool cues where invloved

i'm not sure how much you guys have heard about this.

heres a quick run down of what i've read

him and his friends were at a night club on or near campus. half of the campus and surrounding area has a problem with gangs, including this area. from what i've heard its actually kind of a nice hang out part of the city for everyone, not just college kids and gang members. the gang members came up to him and dememded autographs and for him to buy them drinks, and i think give them money. he refused, and they threatened to kick his ass and grabbed some pool cues. at some point he got a gun and fired it into the air, maybe while he was trying to leave, i don't know. the cops then showed up and had to taze the gang members because they would not cooperate. rodgers was found by the cops in the back of a car, and did do what the cops asked of him

thats pretty much all i've pieced together from other sites from what people have read and from people that know TCU
