So did anyone see the latest game by the Scarlet Knights? This is the college football team for Rutgers University. [I went there] It’s amazing. The team never could get past .600 when I went there. Every year there were exclamations about how the team could go the distance. Now, some 20 years later they are finally doing it. The team is now rated #6, which is a great thing. Now if the university administration could only improve. Last I heard being in undergrad there was still the old R U screw. I guess I can’t expect everything to improve at once.
Another odd item for this weekend was the fact that a suicide attempt sparked a bit of a fight. Now there is no question that kids in America are screwed up, in general. It seems that we are not alone in this aspect though. As a young woman was contemplating jumping of a roof in Germany, a group of teens were shouting for her to jump. Call it rude or whatever it’s just sad. Perhaps even worse is that the crowd that had over 100 people, including the teens, did nothing to stop the kids. The only ones to speak up were homeless people. I’ll say it again, only the homeless people bothered to try to correct the teens. Somehow this lead to a fight involving some 40 people. After the fight was over the woman was talked off the roof. Maybe the German teens thought this was part of filming of a European version of Jackass. I’m trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. I have no answer for the other adults in the crowd. Cheers to the homeless that chided them. The town this happened in should by them all a nice 3-course dinner for their efforts, at the least.
In the line of odd events here is something really rare and weird. 2 rappers actually had gun charges dropped. Yes they actually are not going to be charged with gun possession; though they were in a van with others that did possess loaded weapons. Of course David Brown does have a stabbing charge (that he plead no contest to) to his credit. Remember that he is part of G-Unit, how could you not expect them to have some kind of criminal arrest. I mean they couldn’t sell any records if they didn’t have a rap sheet (document of criminal record in police database – for the wannabe fans/criminals/rappers).
A weekend of surprises I must say.
This is what I think, what do you think?
