Longhorns' Taylor, suspended since March, arrested

The kid let his life choices effect his passion, free schooling and possible employment. I do not see how this is a ding on the University in as much as an example that should be used on how it all can come to a halt quickly for a student athlete making one wrong and illegal choice outside of the field of play.

Why? Dont you know what a townie is? people that work at the mcdonald's in the town where they graduated high school (in this case Belton) that are jealous of another person's fame (in this case RT) and they wanted to start a little squab, and it just escalated quickly and without warning.

Most of the people I see working at McDonald's could not qualify to be in the high order of "Redneck".
 
Sometimes , the term "Redneck" doesn't always mean "good ol' boy." Not to say there's not plenty of "good ol' boy rednecks." He's obviously talking about Belton locals who come from there and stayed there when he speaks of "townies."

I can tell you firsthand that these guys he speaks of don't mind scrapping. I came through that town once with a punk rock band and played a UMHB party. Didn't end too pretty. I fought alongside a few of 'em and fought against a lot more of 'em. And some of 'em were in fact, "rednecks."

The difference is we got the hell out of Dodge, er, Belton and didn't call any cops. Didn't threaten anybody. Also didn't carry anything stronger than Miller Lite.

Well, on a much lighter note...

KU just so happens to trump UT, OU, and TAMU.

There you have it. It was written on a message board so it must be true.
 
Well, it seems that he was not invited to the party, therefore he should not have gone to the party. It was on private property, therefore he was trespassing.

Sounds to me like he is now trying to play the race card to get him out of trouble. Sure, it is because of the racial slur that he had a bullet in his car and 5lbs of dope in his backpack in his backseat. Total BS from an idiot!

Also, UT-A should be investigated....how is it not a violation for a "friend" to "co-sign" for a vehicle that is for a UT-A football player?? Sounds like a "friend" of the program. That is where UT-A and the NCAA violations committee are spoke of together.

The co-signer is his friend's dad. (The QB at his high school.) His friend was even with him that night. The dad probably figured the kid would owe him a favor later on.

If the dad was connected to the UT Athletic Dept. in any way, the press would be all over this. Ain't happening. Mack Brown worked for Barry Switzer when he was giving out Z28's as signing incentives and just knows better.

Thtas the whole thing... it wasnt a private party... I was there and left before RT got there and I wasnt invited but me being white I dotn think that was a problem for them. I just want ya'll to know that RT isnt making up that part about him being jumped by these guys. I got all of this info from the person I went to the party with. He is from Belton and goes to UMHB with me. He's known RT since grade school, and wouldnt lie to me about anything like that.
 
So what does him getting jumped and being called a racial slur have ANYTHING to do with him having 4-5lbs of marijuama in his car?

Some people just want to scream victim when they are the one's at fault.

So if you weren't invited, how do you know it wasn't a private party?? Maybe a bunch of people were not supposed to be there...the AP said it was a private party for a person graduating from A&M. Maybe RT should not have gone to a party simply for that reason!! Maybe he should have been studying for his finals that he missed on Monday so that he could continue to get his grades in order and continue with his education.

He is 100% in the wrong, and the fact that he "walked away" does not justify everything else he did wrong! :chicken:

Out in the sticks, people just show up if they hear there's gonna be a big party. Anyone who's thrown a party knows people that they don't know (or like) will probably show up.

Funny thing about how fights happen...one party is hardly ever 100% right while the other is 100% wrong. I don't doubt that a racial slur was used in Belton, TX.

Sounds like the kid is mainly guilty of being a (suspended) Longhorn at this point. Any thing else is up to the jury.
 
It's his car, the drugs were found in his vehicle.....case closed! If you are at a party and you are sitting on a couch and two others are smoking pot, you will get busted too!

I can see it now. Taylor get's off....and Stewart gets charged with a hate crime because some of the 100 people at the party allegedly uttered a racial slur. His career will be over, and Taylor will be reinstated to the BongHorns!

LMAO!! :tease: :stirpot:
 
LMAO....don't forget he is also charged with possessing 5.3 lbs of marijuana!!!

That is possession with the intent to sell/distribute! So he is also being charged with being a dope dealer. How you LongHorn fans can even back this fool is embarrassing!!!

Innocent until proven guilty?? No, guilty until he proves his innocence!!

Kinda funny... when you're talking about Taylor, "case closed!"
When you talk about the racial slur it's "alleged."

Did his car window just "allegedly" break by itself?
Just call a spade a spade...you just want this guy to go up because he's a (suspended) Longhorn.
 
I just read the article ...... he got caught with 5 lbs of pot, right? Who gives a rip if someone used a racial slur as it pertains to the drug possession? Go arrest the guy who made the slur, prosecute him for a "hate" crime, and they can share a jail cell ....

Don't think that I'm "backing this guy." The kid did some really stupid stuff and he'll probably pay for it. He was a good athlete on a National Championship team and he blew it.

I just don't think it's too wise to proclaim guilt until a jury has had the chance.
 
This is sad to me no matter what team he played for, just a bunch of wasted talent down the drain. That is the real tragedy....unfortunately it is a story we hear way too often.
 
He brought up the racial slur after the cops busted him with 5 lbs of weed. So yes, the "racial slur" is heresay...the weed is hard core evidence.

My guess is that the window was broken during a drug deal gone bad.......he just went to the party to try and have someone else pay for the broken window. Unfortunately, he was too high to realize he called the cops about his broken window.....all the while he had a fat bag of weed in his back seat!

Do you know how much volume of weed it takes to make 5 lbs!? Ask HUGE to call Nate Newton!
 
I've never seen someone try so hard to discount one thing as "hearsay" while making up the rest of the story like they were there. It's also disappointing to see someone do so much revelling in another persons mistake - I don't disagree that he knew the consequences and should have used much better judgement, but you've got an extremely sick mind to take this much joy in another person ruining their life. Especially when all you are really focused on is another excuse to put down UT.
 
I assume that is targeted at me?? He is a grown man, he deserves what he gets. The "college kid" thing is overrated. I am just sick of all of these people saying there is another side to the story.....which of course is the racial slur. How does that discredit the fact that he had 5 lbs of weed in his possession??? The vehicle is his.....possession is 9/10ths the rule!

Will he blame the friend's dad that co-signed for the truck?? Will he blame the farm owner for someone throwing a brick at his truck (then tossing the bag of weed in the backpack in his backseat)?? No, he did it, he needs to take it!!

I do not need to do anything to shink the UT-A armour....they do a great job of it themselves!

I don't doubt that the weed is his and I agree he deserves any punishment he gets. I just think it's kind of lame when people are so quick to pass judgement when facts are still being disputed by both parties - and even worse to seem to take so much joy in him being sent to prison. There's plenty of people that I think deserved what they got, but there's no need to jump for joy during it.

And this isn't the first time your posts (in response to potential misconduct) have been guided by your hate for UT/A&M/USC etc.
 
UT/A&M/USC???

What are you talking about? Of course I do not like UT and A&M for SWC/UH reasons (even moreso for UT).....but USC?

Is OU not supposed to hate on UT fan?

It doesn't. The possession charge is what it is....

The racial slur is a separate issue. Just because he said it happened doesn't mean it didn't.

We know that people were hostile to his presence at the party. The broken window is proof. It definitely stands to reason that a racial slur was used. Having been to Belton, I can understand that aspect of the story.

The fact is there are more aspects to the story that we don't know yet. A lot of stuff that's in print still doesn't add up. His credibility may be in question because he was in possession....not because he's a Longhorn.
 
Well, if you are on my property "illegally" I can call you what I choose!!

If he would have crashed a graduation party at the Dairy Farm in Alvin, TX (near Froberg's Farm), he would have been lucky to leave there with only a racial slur being the offense!!!
 
Maybe it's just the way your post came across in the Bush / #5 thread. The "POS kid" remark caused me to lump the schools in together.

Why don't you target his University then? You've already condemned UT because of things players have done. Personally I don't think Mack Brown is in the loop about Ramonce's drug habits/dealings, but then again you never know.

I think once his grades slipped, Mack Brown was done with him. In December, he got in trouble with the law on 6th Street for fighting. That probably wasn't the first time he broke team rules either. He won't suit up for the Longhorns again.

Maybe he can step in once Bam Morris retires with the Katy Copperheads.
 
Lets weight the two issues:

Broken car window (with possible racial slur)

5lbs of Pot


Who cares about a broken window? Seriously. A racial slur is a no no, but compared to 5lbs of pot? Whats next lets go after the Jay-walker and not chase down murderers?
 
i Hate this, almost makes me cry.
but...
i will back my boy up
so let RT go with Community Service, and bring him back on the team

What do you have against people that smoke pot? I've met RT and he's a really nice person and honestly puts forth an effort to remember people that he meets and that are nice to him. I was really suprised he remembered my name the second time we hung out... But to say that those guys that were about to seriously beat RT into unconsciousness, merely based on his race are not subject to the same scrutiny of punishment that RT will recieve is just ignorant. Dont hate on people just because they smoke pot... if you had tried it you would prob like it anyway.
 
Umm...so how well do you actually know this guy? I've met a lot of people that seem like good guys but when you dig a little deeper, a lot of them have some pretty big skeletons in their closet. Five pounds isn't just lighting up a doobie now and then to relax - not to mention the ammunition found in his car. That usually spells dealer. It doesn't free the accusers from being racists or trash but it isn't that hard for there to be two criminals in some cases.
 
I'm not doubting that he may hang out w/ those people that do deal, because they mostly related to him. I was just wondering why a bigot is lower on his hate pole than a pot head.

And ts not like me and him are best friends, I met him through my roommate when he came and partied at our house in the last couple of weeks. So we got to know each other at least a little bit, and from what I got, he was a sincere nice person, that just wanted to have a good time. I wouldnt be suprised if one of the dude's he was with were the ones with all of the pot.

(and by the way there is no way that anyone could have not smelled that stuff in his car, it was 5lbs of some dank 'Dro, so RT prob knew it was there but didnt think it was enough to get that kind of charge, but let them search the vehicle anyway because he wanted to get those guys that messed with him and he wanted to cooperate as much as possible)
 
Walking around with 10 joints is a pothead. Driving around with 5lbs and live ammo is a dealer or a very close relation to a dealer.

What do I have against people that smoke pot? Well lets start with its illegal, contributes to the moral decline of our current society, and did I mention its illegal. Cheech and Chong didnt carry around 5lbs of pot for personal use. Unless someone else steps up and says it was their pot, he should be charged with it.

So your arguement is that his assualt, which never happened, should be attended to with same amount of merit as the 5lbs of hard evidence found in the car?

No they shouldn't. These are 2 separate issues. The "assualt" may or may not have happened. The broken window is evidence that it did.

.....there's more to this story than the property owner is letting on.

Think about it, if you were in RT's shoes it would be the same situation. He was with his family, guys his same age, they grew up together, like I said he prob knew there was something in his car, but to automaticly say that it was his is jumping the gun.... Just because the bag had BIG 12 CONFERENCE written on it, doesnt mean he didnt give that backpack to his family member as a gift. He wasnt alone in the vehicle, therefore everyone that was with him deserves the same amount of legal scutiny that RT got.

Have you seen where RT lives.... he lives in the ghetto as does his entire extended family... that gun he or one of the people he was with was carrying is prob. for protection if anything. If you think only drug dealers carry guns in the hood then you are gravely mistaken.

You sir are a pathetic individual....if it was a Cougar High player im sure you would feel very different. But then again, if it was a coug, it would take a lot more than 5lbs to make the papers. Maybe thats what you are really mad at. Maybe you just hate that UofH is the dog**** on the bottom of college football's shoe.

To find joy in the troubles of others is pathetic. Ever heard of karma? Remember this when something happens in your life. You should never revel in the pain of others...I dont care if it is a "rival".

And the same goes for UT fans who blast OU players who get in trouble, etc...

Laughing and being happy at mistakes on the football field is one thing, being happy about a young kid ruining his life is another. Trust me, I am happy everytime Adrian Peterson fumbles the football, but if I met him I would shake his hand and probably ask for an autograph. And I would be very sad for him if he did something to ruin his future. As far as I know you might be 12 yrs old, or 50, either way you have a lot of growing up to do.

Well, if his gun is for protection, maybe it should be registered. Maybe the 40 caliber bullet was for Raccoon patrol or shootin possums!

Yes, poor guy, he has 5lbs of weed on his property and yet HE is the victim! No matter where he went to school or what sport he plays, he is a POS!

Now then, if it comes out that someone stashed it in his vehicle without him knowing, then I will give a full apology.

As the evidence proves, 5 lbs is a lot of DOPE! "With intent to distribute" means he was planning on selling it (as the farm owner stated was happening).....therefore, yes, he is a POS because that is how I feel about all drug dealers! The are the dogpoo on the bottom of the human world!! Anyone that backs them is right on the same boat!!!!

And no, it would take one joint found on a UH player to make the Top Story on the Houston channels.......UH does something wrong, it is the top story...UT or A&M do something wrong, it is quickly hidden or the media is paid off to hide it. Too bad Baylor did not have the same PR people during the BB player murder!

While I think that might be a crack at me... I wont start a war of words with you. That would be childish... I respect your opinion about drug dealers...

However, knowing that someone that has 5lbs of drugs isnt ness. a dealer. (He does have access to alot of cash coming from the UT program)If it was his pot, he could very well have just bought all of that for him and his home boys, he does have quite a few of them. (highly unlikly, but I am sticking up for a person that has stuck up for me before so I this it is justifiable)
 
Be careful of the company you keep....just ask AI and Ray Lewis.....and your old buddy RT!

I am not saying he is or isn't a drug dealer, what I am saying is that 5lbs is a lot of weed for recreational use, and that the law deems that amount as "intent to distribute".......I guess that can be seen as distribute to "your boys" or distribute as a way to earn som caysh!
 
Its all good man... do you wanna know how loyal he and his family is? We had an xbox 360 stolen from our house without even knowing it and it just so happened that he took it to RT's cousin to sell it to them. He asked where they got it and when he found out he stole it from our house he made that little kid bring our xbox back to our house...

I'm not defending the drugs... I'm trying to defend his character... I know that in some of ya'lls eyes he is a bad person for having all of those drugs around him whether they are his or not, but I just want all of yall to know what a good person he is down at his core.
