Joseph Randle's father: 'My son is not a thief' [Cowboy's RB]

He was a good boy;
He was just misunderstood;
Society let him down;
My son is not [fill in the blank]
.... It is NEVER because the perp is a criminal, thug, etc. it is ALWAYS someone else's fault.

There must be a template somewhere that the perp's parents are given to select whomever's fault their kid is a criminal (and it is NEVER poor upbringing).

[Organic Panic]

Use the Sandy Burger defense.

“He just was sitting at the table and papers fell in to his socks.”

OR.

My baby din do nuffin’

[AppyPappy]

His excuse was “He couldn’t be bothered”.

In reality, they steal because they feel they are entitled to the goods. Sticking it to the store is just their revenge for being bothered to have to lower themselves to make a purchase.
The Cowboys were paying him a huge amount of money to not steal things and he couldn’t abide by that.

[AppyPappy]

He was going back to school, supported his kids, aspiring rapper, bad friends, not his fault.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Ok, well he has his excuse, and he is a member of an officially recognized grievance group, so all is forgiven.

I bet he’s been coddled all his life because of being a star athlete.

A tester bottle of cologne? That’s a toughie to explain away.

[W.]

I’m sure the race-baiting poverty pimps are super-disappointed he didn’t get shot! Better luck next time...

[X-spurt]

So long as it bees whitey’s stuff it bees OK.

“Steal it?? Why, what do you think I am - a thief??... I just TOOK it!...Pretty good, ain’t I?”

~Larry Fine in “Whoops, I’m an Indian”

[dfwgator]

“I was just borrowing it.”

[dfwgator]

“When I want somethin’ man, I don’t wanna pay for it.”

[diogenes ghost]

"If the NFL wants to take criminal activity seriously, all types of criminal activity, this guy needs to be sanctioned in some way."

The interweb has a database that says no. Google 'NFL player arrests', there are several sources, USA Today has a good one.

Some teams seem to be better than others, but none what you would call intolerant.

[Above My Pay Grade]

If he only stole the tester bottle and not the underwear, he could have claimed, “How could I steal it...it’s free! I could have sprayed the whole bottle on myself in the store, and it wouldn’t be stealing.”

[Boogieman]

Oh yeah, there’s the other old standby:

“I forgot I had put that in my pocket.”

[Red Badger]

“How could I steal it...it’s free! I could have sprayed the whole bottle on myself in the store, and it wouldn’t be stealing.”

But it would be STINKING!.....................

[notdownwidems]

Well, they wouldn’t wait on him, so it was obviously racism.

[Red Badger]

Maybe the clerk was a Seahawks fan......................

[Red Badger]

He was taking it out to test!......................

[Georgia Girl 2]

LOL!
