Martin Hall Inconsistencies

[zeppelincajun]

Well if people are trampling through your area and have no respect for your tent call it what you want. It would be like someone setting your house on fire and you saying I wasn’t forced to leave it was my choice to leave. The way it was described to me it was like animals corralled in a cattle pen.

Well I said my part. If you don’t know what is meant by it then you’ll just have to see for yourself. I understood exactly what he was saying.

So going off the context clues of him making the “dark” comment and you mentioning that the regular tailgaters are “middle class white kids,” am I correct that you are saying there were more black people at the tailgate than usual?

I’m still not sure on the reason for the indirectness. Is the boogeyman gonna jump up and snag us?

So you want the student TG to be a party zone and let kids be kids, but heads need to roll because your wife said it smelled like pot? And now circulating a rumor that a gun was pulled and an arrest was made?

What are you wanting? UP to check for student IDs at the entrance to the student tailgate? A metal detector? UP stopping and frisking for joints/vape pens?

No. As I stated my daughter who is not a student walked over by herself to meet her older siblings. She has been going to cajun field since before she could walk. For the first time in her life she felt it was unsafe to walk back by herself. I raise my kids to be aware of their surroundings.

You do know that pot is illegal in the state of Louisiana. Right. Rather you think it is a good law or bad law it is the law.

I never said that the typical tailgaters are any kind of kid. I just said a bunch were there that never go and didn’t go to the game. I did say that the kids that were forbidden to play beer pong are those that are in the Greek system with houses on the row. They are typically middle class white kids, although many of your historically white fraternities here are starting to become more diverse. There are different rules for frats on the row than there are for the general student. That is what I was pointing out. If PKT, Sigma NU or KA has people smoking pot under their tent they get kicked off campus. But for the ones that were smoking pot Saturday there was no consequences.

All this time, the reason for low attendance was the Devil's Lettuce. Who knew?

So is underaged drinking, but a lot of folks said we needed to lax up on that (you and I included) in order for fun to be had.

I keep typing and backspacing but I just don't feel like commenting on your story.

I stand corrected. Your comment on “middle class white kids” was in reference to Greeks and not the typical tailgaters. There still seems to be a racial context to what you are saying here.

Pot is illegal. So is underage drinking? Should the officers on site be Id’ing every kid they see with an alcoholic beverage?

[CajunVic]

. . . no, but they should be arresting everybody with pot . . .

[CajunNation]

. . . no, but they should be arresting everybody with pot . . .

Yep.

They have and do give MIP’s on a regular basis to minors with alcohol.

[CajunVic]

. . . note that for alcohol, MIP is not even supposed to be on the minor’s record and any minor can actually drink alcohol in Louisiana if they are in the presence of a parent . . . so, no, alcohol is not equal to weed . . .

Welcome to life. There are always double standards. I can tell you of a story when I was in college over 20 years ago when I got popped by ATF and given an underage drinking ticket when at the same time the Frats were doing more drinking than a little beer pong game. I was just with a couple friends minding our own business sitting on a tailgate.

Only concerning comment in this thread is the presence of a gun. I dont know the facts but I would hate for anyone to get shot at a family friendly event. Sad to say but that is the climate of the world we live in now. Sad to say but its really time to pass Constitutional Carry laws.

[ZoomZoom]

Double standards have always existed and will until the Earth is no more. Take your choice, all the way back to Cain and Abel or when 2 cavemen could dominate 1.

I was amazed the accident downtown was vaguely connected to the football game by KLFY. Yeah, they Lafayette'd in the article.
