Who is Theodore Randall?
I'll tell you:
He's either:
1) A guy that got the crap beat out of him by someone unknown to all of us, and told the cops he thought it was Sam Maresh (who admits he was there). What are the cops supposed to do, not investigate Maresh?
or
2) He's a guy who got beat up BY SAM MARESH and told the cops who then rightly investigated, and the press found out.
He NOT:
1) A guy that knows he got beat up by someone other than Sam Maresh, and then just decided for the heck of it to implicate Maresh to the police. Thinks about it, that makes NO SENSE. You think he WANTS to get his name in the paper for getting his butt kicked? Highly doubtful.
The guy's either RIGHT, or he's MISTAKEN. Either way, the situation deserves investigation.
The speed with which folks here are so quick to blame this guy for something is really sick. The fact that someone starts a thread calling him out is repulsive. Remember, not one of us disputes he did get beaten, and NO ONE, not even Maresh, says this guy physically behaved in a way to justify the beating. Like it or not, you don't get to beat up people that piss you off. Tough guy stories of years gone by aside, that's the law. End of story. If you wanna stay out of jail, don't mess people up. If you're a Gopher football player, REALLY don't mess people up, because not only will you end up in jail, you'll end up in the news.
