The victim is an outstanding member of his community....
Quote:
On the same morning the two football players made their first court appearance, their alleged victim was in another courtroom, in the same building, making his own appearance on charges in an unrelated matter.
According to court files and information from police, the alleged victim was charged July 18 with possession and trafficking of cocaine. That case, in which eight people are charged, is still before the courts.

None of you know the actual story here, and there is much more than meets the eye, so before you go knocking on these guys get some facts first. It's known in the community that there is a gang in Regina that initiates its members by trying to put a roughrider in the hospital. This is true. It happened to Craig Butler last season. This is just a case of someone from this gang trying to gain initiation by attempting to put one or both of these two in the hospital. He obviously picked the wrong two players, and well this is what has happened. Anyway now you know. This story will come out eventually, and that is why the Riders will play them both
