 The jury of Diehard 

😄 well the jury of UteBird is going to leave it to an actual jury.

Ima bust that line out from now on during a discussion. Make me sound more official speaking in first person as an individual jury😊

I've clarified why I said awesome. Poor choice of words? Perhaps. It's impressive to me that a kid at his age could handle himself that well and not totally lose his crap when a mob was chasing him and attacking him. I've also clarified that when I said awesome it wasn't in regards to loss of life but he defended himself and I'm glad they were taken out instead of him. I'd love to get back to football and I don't know which of you started this in here but it shouldn't have been.

That was my point definitely a poor choice of words. Nothing about any of this is awesome. I'm not arguing how you feel about the situation and I don't care to argue it. It's all good man. I'm not going to attack you just the word "awesome" was a little unsettling and I'm sure you didn't mean it the way you did but, with everything going on it kind of got to me. I agree let's get back to football

I’m being serious cause i tried to find the other outside things associated with Blake. Not the incident where he was shot. I get that is the topic that is mainly at hand and that part I’ve read accounts of what happened and isn’t as unclear

however the secondary part of the story i am more cloudy on Cause there’s like 100 different stories all over Twitter and Facebook. Was there a warrant out for his arrest for raping a 14 year old girl? Also read he bailed on his court date, is that true? And when did he miss the court date If that occurred? Not that it mattered in the police shooting part As they didn’t know at the time of the shooting he had a warrant for his arrest from what i read. Yes i also read he supposedly may or may not had a knife. Just want a complete picture on the secondary story that’s accurate. Thanks in advance for those who answer 

As far as i have heard no knife was recovered at the scene, as of yet.

Also as far as i know all the other past stuff doesnt really matter in context as the cops didnt know who he was, they werent there because of him.

All that stuff is just a way to smear him and sway public opinion towards cops.

Same ole same ole. Somebody kills black dude media smears him and tells us how the dude was a thug and got a C- in geometry and smoked some weed once with his granny.

White dude walks into church murders 20 people including kids Media- he was a shy kid, mentally ill got good grades😒

Ill agree that the kid knows how to handle a weapon and himself. 

If he was as awesome as you think the most awesome thing to do is not incite a mob and find peaceful solutions to complex problems.

Maybe while hes in prison he can read some MLK or Ghandi instead of first instinct im gonna grab a gun i shouldnt even have in the first place and then be put in a situation where i kill 2 people.

I feel bad for the kid hes got his whole life ahead if him he should have never been there and hes going to have to libe the rest of his life knowing he took 2.

I feel worse for the dead, you calling them thugs doesnt portray that you arent happy they died. Words have power!✊

by definition a mob is already incited. 

 

Anyway... Im all for political discussion and social justice discussion in the blog at times. Though we have always historically agreed to keep religion and politics out of the blog mostly over the years we have proven to be able to handle such discussions civilly and as such this has been a much better plays to have those discussions than CVON.

However, tonight doesnt seem to be one of those times.

We have people calling for bannings. We have EMBs biggest snowflake calling someone a racist. We have another person saying F this kid... people are obviously way too heated and not handling this one well. 

Its time to drop this one or move it to CVON.

Well then I guess the kid is going to have to deal with a jury. We will see what crime if any he committed in regards to the weapons laws.

He did not have an Illinois FOID card.  It was illegal for him to own an AR-15, which he has pictures with in his social media accounts.

Which wide receivers will lead the Team in... 

1. Receptions? 
2. Receiving yards?

3. Receiving TDs. 
 

My guess... 

1. Reagor 

2. DJax 

3. Reagor

Which is fine. This is a heated discussion that never should have happened in here. We all fight, but I'm not some freaking heartless a-hole. I'm an a-hole, but this is just how I see it. I think it was self defense. You all think it was murder. We'll see. If I've upset any of you it wasn't my intention and honestly some of what I have said was misinterpreted. I believe strongly in self defense and you all feel strongly with your feelings. I see what I saw in the videos one way. You all disagree and that's fine. Be nice to get back to football.

By what week is Big Play Slay a disappointment? 

week 3 people are already gonna be pissed. Wont be popular opinion yet till around week 6. By week 12 he will be universally hated.

I love slay ever since a draft prospect. I was pretty happy with the trade too. Its just the way things usually go for Philly. Im kind of expecting it to be very honest.

It would be amazing if Reagor can lead in those categories without preseason games. I think he can

Well you know how this goes. A corner can't give up a single pass without getting trashed

More so he’ll lead because there’s no one else and Desean plays at most 10 full games.... 

Meanwhile, its looking more and more like Peters will be the LT, Pryor the RG, and Dillard will put on another 15 pounds of muscle next off season.  Easily the most disappointing part of TC is Dillard not being able to play.  If Joe O can bull rush him imagine what srarters will do.  I'm sad.  I was hopeful and now I'm not.

Very true lol. Still I think Reagor is a gamer and will be ready

I mean kind of matters as if the Guy raped a 14 year old girl and if he bailed on the court date he should have been arrested depending on how long ago he bailed. Again it’s not a he did meth or some type of drug crime. He raped and possibly destroyed a 14 year old child’s life and he is out here walking the streets after missing a court date for it like it’s no big deal. I’m sorry if that were my daughter I’d be pissed the F off 

just saying you should be as disgusted with the cops who shot him as you should at the legal system that allowed a rapist of a 14 year old to be walking the streets putting other women and children at risk. It’s why i asked if it were true. Now i don’t know if they are but if so that should strike you as just as disturbing. 

Frankly it is as disgusting as the cops who shot him. I’m appalled and disgusted by both incidents. the fact there’s a go fund me account for a 1 million dollars for him, i wish someone set up one for the child (if he did) he raped and ruined her life. That to me is just as bad as those cops Shooting him. Anyone should be appalled and disgusted at the handling of both.

I agree with other posters that said when you called the kid who shot two other people " Awesome" and called the killed " thugs" people are going to take notice.

Thugs is a buzzword it can be as incendiary as walking through a riot with an AR 15 or chasing someone with an AR.

Glad to know you arent heartless and youre the second poster to wear being an A hole as a badge of honor, not sure what thats about😳???

I didn't buy into all the trash thrown at Dillard last year and during camp this year. Now though I'm not so confident about him either.

Ertz 

Jackson (If healthy, if not the Reagor)

 Ertz

I just made a point in your post about "inciting a mob"  so you got quoted. Not singling you out to go to CVON. Anyone who wants to continue this discussion should. Blog didnt handle this one well. 

Outside of Fletcher Cox, who do you think will be the most impactful player on defense this season? 
 

I really want and we need it to be Barnett but I’m guessing McLeod.

Depending if he can heal properly and not play all year injured, Hargrave. I think he's going to be better than a pre-broken back Jernigan.

I'm actually leaning towards Mills. I think saftey is going to fit him well.

I really liked the Hargrave signing but ultimately he plays 50-60% of the snaps.
