Jun 24, 2015, 9:52 AM

see it. Lakip gets charged for a DUI 1st and a possession of cocaine 1st and every self righteous MFer comes out the woods to kick him while he's down. Let me applaud you POSs... I'm sure he's already embarrassed and concerned about it but what the heck, let's pile on. Let's plaster his personal business across the top page. After all, i'm sure none of you have ever done anything wrong your entire lives... Right?

This is nothing. VT had a kicker who was a home invader over a bad drug deal. He was on and off their team three or four times for them a few years ago. These things with kickers are clearly the fault of the little flags at the top of goal posts every bit as much as the flag in Columbia is for a shooting by a hate filled nut in Charleston. ;)

Judge not lest ye be judged is the most miss-quoted verse


Jun 24, 2015, 10:14 AM

Here is what Jesus actually said:

1“Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. 3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

We are free to judge as we please as long as we are willing to abide by the same standard!

So, have you said anything about the murderer


Jun 24, 2015, 10:20 AM

down in Charleston? Have you "judged" him?

No, you judged his actions. Same thing here. We can judge ACTIONS; generally, we know what is right and wrong based upon laws established. Lakip's actions were wrong.

However, the verse you are quoting has to do with final judgment, which we cannot do. Although I haven't read every post concerning Lakip, I don't anyone on here is condemning him to Hel!.

So, in summary, the context of the verse you are quoting allows judging of actions. Cut people some slack.

Hey, I have no problems with his recreational substance abuse per se. I just think depressants wiuld be better for his kicking game. The DUI is the only part I object to, and those laws are basically ######## too. Increasing the probability that you will unintentionally cause harm to another person should not be a crime until that harm actually happens.

On the money subject, even if it is from daddy, what do parents think a 19 year old with no responsibilities and a $1000 (coke is not cheap) a week allowance is going to do? Buy books?

He is either a victim of the college football $$$ and power complex (free drugs for the team!) or just another rich kid with no boundaries or moral compass. I feel bad for him if it is the former.

I suspect we have seen the last of him in a tiger uniform. Hopefully daddy has a good lawyer.

I remember a bunch of old white men, especially my dad telling me that I shouldn't listen to rock and roll, that you should always trust the government and that the Beatles were ruining our youth.

Now I'm listening to a bunch of old white men talking about how their "done" with this kid because he made a mistake. Sammy Watkins was caught with pot AND prescription drugs that were not his own.
He was given a 2nd chance and that seemed to have turned out well. Why is Lakip different? Because it's "Coke"! Statistically prescription drug abuse is a far worse problem in the U.S. than Cocaine. But it Coke! Hell in my 20's I tried to snort up Peru. I was young and foolish and I paid the price and people weren't "done" with me.

For all of you old sissy's that think Coke is the end all, be all of evil you should wake up. You can buy it at your local middle school. America's "drug war" has been an horrific waste of money and time. You try to help people with substance abuse problems not hang them or put them in prison.

And one final, very important point. Was it his coke or was it left in his car by a chick? But never mind the details.....crucify him!

He got into a car drunk (one), he had coke in there (two). That is not something you just start out with. The chances of this being a one time thing are minuscule. His warning came when he came to Clemson, and he decided to get in a car with no regard for his life or a family of 5 that he could have killed drunk, and drive with coke in there.

This is a lot different then your strawman argument that aligns cocaine use with owning the White Album.

While your spinning it, why stop at a family of 5? Why not use a school bus full of handicapped 2nd graders?

Unless you have never, ever had a drink of alcohol odds are you too could have blown over a 0.08 while driving.

Rock in roll is not illegal. Neither were the Beatles.

Dui is illegal and so is possession of cocaine. No one mentioned life sentences or the death penalty.


Do you suggest a time out? Ground him to his room?

Getting kicked off the football team is NOT capitol punishment.

Kelly was kicked off the team and he never broke any rules, especially any laws.

Hence, while cautiously avoiding condemnation, I believe it wiser to encourage all of our younger folks to consider consequences of alcohol and drug misuse or abuse.

I'm sure no one here could care a less about a coots point of view but I'll give it anyways. This is not getting caught with some weed or even a few prescription pills, he got caught with a narcotic in cocaine and was DUI to top it off. Now, should he be immediately kicked off the team? No, we should let the legal process take it's course but he should be suspended from all team activities until that happens. I can't just accept the excuse of him making a youthful mistake, this is not underage drinking or a small amount of weed or stealing crab legs (I had to throw that one in there) this is much more serious than that. I just hope that this young man gets the help he needs and not just kicked to the curb.

...but you have to know that all arrests are a matter of public record and will be reported in some manner. I would certainly expect this specific case involving a current CU football player to be reported on the front page of TNet, and then the forums will naturally go where they go for better or worse.

For the record, it seems fairly obvious to me that our placekicker made a stupendously dumb decision and will pay a heavy price for it. It will most likely not be swept under the rug nor be forgiven as a "1st time offense". The charges are serious. It's very sad for Ammon and, consequently, CU.

posting about it as others have. If you felt that way, you could just not post about it at all.

I'm not judging one way or the other, but I taught all of my kids to try and avoid making the HUGE mistakes. Some of those are:
- Don't drink and drive
- Don't do drugs

Wearing brown shoes with a black tux is bad enough, but it's an easy problem to fix. Just try and avoid those big problems that are extremely hard to fix. And yes - my daughter wore different colored socks to school with my permission. THAT was okay IMO.

Maybe Lakip's parents should have had similar discussions with him. Same goes for Sammy Watkins, etc. Someone did a poor job of parenting IMO.

Jun 25, 2015, 8:48 AM

strongly disagree with the general premise of your post. Not wanting him on the football team any longer has absolutely nothing to do with how i feel about him personally. I'm not going to judge him on a personal level. I hope that he uses this experience to become a better a man, and if he actually has a substance addition I hope that he finds the support necessary get clean and move on with his life.

That said, as a public figure and representative of Clemson University, he needs to pay the consequences for his actions, and if the people involved in making that decision deem that he should no longer represent the university I will back the decision 100%.

However, i do find it disturbing that many posts about this situation have referenced his on-field struggles as a reason that he should be dismissed. I trust that Lakip will receive the same treatment as ANYONE else on the football team would in a similar situation.

I don't disagree with anything in your post. He should


Jun 25, 2015, 9:05 AM

"pay the consequences" and the "people involved" should make the decision. It's for Dabo and company to decide... not the sanctimonious amongst TNet. Perhaps this runs deeper but from what was 'published', it was his first offense.
