That may have been in his bookNot a source I would put a lot of faith in.

“Property”, lol.He brought Miles’ gun to Miles. And it appears that’s where is involvement ended.
Didn’t the prosecutor say there is nothing to charge him with?
So, what exactly do we want Miller suspended for and what does that accomplish? It doesn’t sound like he committed a crime. I don’t think the code of conduct would say, ‘don’t give somebody their own property and don’t be around if somebody gets shot.’

This is a little different than bringing him his phone charger or something.
Yes. You get a request to bring someone their gun, and you’re not asking any questions? Lol.It’s Alabama. Is it that different? For that matter, I don’t think a university would have a code of conduct that says don’t be around legally owned/registered firearms. I’d imagine there would be lawsuits if they did, regardless of the state.
He blocked the street too. I’d say there’s some questions that are unanswered.He brought Miles’ gun to Miles. And it appears that’s where is involvement ended.

Ridiculous statement. Do you see defenses abandoning all that space? You still have to cover: floaters and running bank shots from >10' feet out remain a staple of the game at high level varsity high school and up. Our own 2-3 zone is susceptible to foul line / midrange jumpers, and when we adjust to cover those we yield back cuts / short corner drop offs. Buddy went to the midrange turnaround multiple times every game. It's still there, just not as prevalent.And not for the better. The defense used to have to cover the whole forecourt, from 20 feet in. Now they just have to guard the arc and the paint.

This is unfortunately very true. It’s not just Alabama (or South Carolina). Lady Justice in America is definitely not blindfolded. Her eyes are wide open and she threw away the scales and has her hand in the deepest pockets she can find.After watching the Cocaine Cowboys and Murdaugh documentaries it would not surprise me at all if someone was paid off or purposely looking the other way here. The justice system tends to only apply to people who don’t have power until it‘s impossible to look the other way.
Why can’t they get their own gun?A request to bring somebody their own gun? Why would I ask questions? Why would I be obligated to ask questions? It’s their gun. And it sounds like Miller was already on his way to meet Miles. So what was he going to do? Turn around and tell Miles he can’t have his gun?

The article I read this morning said he was blocking the car. Maybe the piece I read this morning was an exaggeration then.He was parked on the side of the street and the victim pulled in behind him and parked on the side of the street.
I don’t think that equates to blocking the street.
You don’t think he had just an inkling that he was planning on using it?I don’t know. I don’t think that matters, though.
Did Miller go get the gun or was it already in the car?

That’s what his attorney is saying….I guess we’ll see.It was reported that way (blocking) initially. Articles in the last day or so have updated it, from what I’ve read.
There is supposedly pretty clear video of the entire scene. Supposedly.
He kind of left it in Millers car. Tough to retrieve without said car.Why can’t they get their own gun?
Which biased trash heap of a source did you find this ‘article?’The article I read this morning said he was blocking the car. Maybe the piece I read this morning was an exaggeration then.
I don’t think self defense will wait for someone else to bring you your weapon.Who knows. Based on the language of the text, it’s most likely he wanted to brandish it. Tough guy type stuff.
He could have wanted it for self defense. In that context, using the gun would be legal.
Most people assume their friends aren’t going to be involved in the murder of people. The language of the text didn’t indicate Miles was going to murder somebody or facilitate the murder of somebody.

Who was it who said nothing good happens after midnight? That should be in every teams code of conduct.
Yeah, as I’ve said before, way too many unknowns in this one for me to take a stand either way.Arguments at the club don’t always stay at the club. If your friend is coming to get you and you just got into a confrontation, it wouldn’t be weird to ask your friend to being your gun (or make sure the gun is still in their car). You never know if/when people you fight with are going to come get you. That’s not a world I live in but it is a world some people certainly live in.
It was ultimately the case that Miles and Davis were the problem. They were the bad guys. I just don’t see how or why Miller should be held accountable for any of it.
