Reply to comment by Low-iq-haikou in Police: Tide star provided gun used in shooting. by PrincessBananas85

It clearly intends to communicate a much heavier implication than what’s actually happening in order to get people to either click on the article or jump to conclusions.

He brought a gun to a party for his friend AND boxed in the car of the victims party so they couldn't leave. You implying this guy did nothing wrong is absolutely laughable. He shouldn't play another minute for Alabama.

Funny that you think you know more than the police and detectives closest to the situation enough to condemn him.

This is my problem with everyone's reaction to this news. If Brandon had in fact done everything to the extent that everyone here claims, he would 100% be convicted as an accomplice. He wasn't convicted, and has fully cooperated with police in the process. Clearly the situation is bad, but it's not nearly as bad as everyone seems to be putting on.

Let the professionals figure it out, THEN we can react

Right. You got people jumping at a grabby headline, trying to condemn a kid for something that the police clearly don’t feel is worth condemnation, presumably because they don’t like the basketball uniform he wears.

Investigators know more than we do. Police know more than we do. Nate Oats knows more than we do. The district attorney knows more than we do. We have an article that most won’t even read past the headline before they’ve decided he should spend his life behind bars.

What I gathered from the title is that an Alabama player provided someone a gun that was later used in a shooting

Yep, and now you click on the article expecting that he is being charged with a crime. My first instinct upon reading that headline is to click on the article to see if he’s facing charges, too. They give you half of the story so you’ll click on it because “Alabama F Brandon Miller Not Facing Charges for Providing Murder Weapon” is something you read once then keep scrolling.

Oh he should be charged especially after he used his car to block others from getting away.

The newsworthy part is that he hasn't been charged, which was the point of the article. Almost every other person in his situation would've been.
