I blame bullets.

You guys are crazy... its clearly the trigger's fault. If it wouldn't allow itself to be pulled, none of this would happen...

Difference between having weed and selling weed.

Plus the gun.

He probably gets a relative slap on the wrist, but the sad part for Andre Allen is that screw-ups like this show he is oblivious to the clout he would have with employers in this city if he only graduated and didn't get in trouble.

Why are you trying to hire whores when you are a Tiger basketball player?

Why are you failing drug tests during the final four when NOBODY fails drug tests in college?

Why are you selling weed when you are freakin' Andre Allen?

Bad parenting ?

I don't think bad parenting is to blame. I think it's just stupidity.

All I ever needed to know about Andre Allen I learned when he went to Lamar and tried to pay for it when he had been on campus for a year and was going to be playing on the Tiger basketball team in the upcoming season. The end of bench players have the cooze ooze, so why does a guy who was a Memphis high school basketball star and at one time the top prospect in his class need to be soliciting whores?

Andre Allen has had people get his back his whole life. All he had to do was graduate. Even after he was kicked off the team, I should RC Johnson would have found money to pay for his last year to get his degree. He would be taken care of by boosters. But some people just don't see the forest for the trees.

Actually I don't think there has been a good history of Tigers who got caught up in the drug game.

You can run up to Mapco and buy cartons of cigs and 100 beers if you want. Makes no sense that we live in a free country where you can't make that choice. Can't defend the stolen gun.

Harmless???

Hardly.

The Terrible Truth About Cannabis: Expert's devasting 20-year study finally demolishes claims that smoking pot is harmelss

And these stories have just come out in the past few weeks in mainstream news media, not just anti-marijuana rags

This is Political forum stuff, but the bigger point is marijuana is no more harmful than alcohol or tobacco and definitely not on the level of meth, cocaine, heroin, or some prescription drugs.

No no, you're all wrong. It's the person's fault that got shot. If they hadn't gotten in the way of a perfectly good bulled fired with a perfectly good trigger that came from a perfectly good gun, they wouldn't have gotten shot. I blame the victim.
