Coker the liberal.
The area around campus is a crime infested area. No surprise a violent incident happened.
They should just shut down the program for good. I bet most players on the team can't even spell their own names.
Then how do they sign the back of their checks?
Maybe they get direct deposit. Boosters are clever these days.
What a racket...
checks leave a paper trail back to the athletic department and boosters.
Envelopes of cash and gold chains don't.
Shame on some of you.
The area around campus happens to be coral gables...populated by wealthy people. Hardly a bad neighborhood.
The U of Miami also happens to have a high graduation rate. (Top 5 in the nation)
Again..Shame on some of you. This is a tragedy.
It isn't all that far to the bad sections.
It's still all CORAL GABLES around campus...if you think that 2 million dollar homes constitutes a bad neighborhood..then I guess I concede this point of debate.
Homicide is the act of killing a human being.
Determining that the decedent was shot to death by someone else - Relatively easy.
Determining that the deceased was a human - Also relatively easy.
I'd like to think that the reporter was the one who used such a useless phrase, not the PD's spokesman. /rant
Stupid reporting is one of my pet peeves, and could lead to lines reading, "His CAT was ruled a FELINE." /o.k. the rant is really over this time
X ?
I have been there plenty of times. There are shotgun shacks that abut the campus. All around Coconut Grove are some seriously nasty slums.
Well, the rats gaining the congress is ALOT worse news if you ask me.
Tomorrow I may feel a little more sympathetic.
Probably a drug deal gone bad. 10 to 1....
I'm sure it *was* the PD's spokesperson who said it (since that's who they quoted).
Until there are autopsy results and an investigation, the ME will issue a preliminary ruling that the death is either (1) a homicide; (2) a suicide; (3) from natural causes; or (4) of unknown or undetermined cause.
Not until the follow-up will those generic labels be fleshed out in more detail and sometimes changed.
You haven't been there. Shotgun shacks? Are you serious?
That would be tennis.
