You can do better Pepsi. Didn't take you for the mob mentality type.
I also like how I'm getting quoted but only selectively. No one actually wants to talk about mental health, they just want to continue with the rage. Why am I not surprised? |
You're better than this, too. The "mob mentality" or "eye for an eye" stuff is just nonsense. You've blown the issue up into some moral dilemma in your defence of Miller, and for what?
I went back and read every post. There were 3 (out of how many) that suggested anything close to how you've tried to paint the people you're arguing with, and one of those posts was walked back.
Whether it's wanting to see him meet up with Kane or Reaves on the ice, hoping he doesn't make the NHL, wishing the Coyotes hadn't drafted him, or wanting to see an apology to the victim, what exactly is wrong with any of the four? A guy does what he does, and the worst thing the majority are hoping for is... he doesn't make the show? And the worst thing people wished for (that didn't happen) was not getting drafted or a genuine apology? Really? That's what you're spending all this time fighting against?
This is rage to you, huh? This is the mob? Looking for an apology or otherwise hoping a 4th rounder doesn't make the NHL is the mob trying to take their blood? My god dude, what an embarrassingly high bar you've set for the conduct of people. The nerve of some people hoping someone with his history doesn't get the gift of 800k in his bank account for a few years. You're right man, we're the monsters here.
The main point of this is that this is not typical, this is not to be lumped in with everything else one might be ashamed about at 14. This is seven years of really really awful behaviour, and it should be viewed uniquely as such. The main disagreement is over that, over excusing this as among the type of behaviour we were all guilty of, because it's not. Nobody is asking to see his head smashed against a brick wall, nobody is asking that he go to jail forever, nobody is asking that he be forced to eat every urinal puck in every stadium he goes to. People are siding with the victim and asking for an apology, and putting the burden of proof on Miller.
Oh no, the mob wants Miller to apologize to the victim. The horror. The. Horror. Thankfully you're here to fight against it.
