The Bodda Getta

What is the world coming to? 17 people shot.

Prediction: Someone from bama nation will assert that the shooter was somehow Auburn-affiliated. Although the two photos shown of the suspect are of poor quality, someone will see an ‘AU’ on the dark-colored hat or on the grey t-shirt.

My pessimistic, jaded prediction comes from too many self-inflicted wounds received from reading bama fan comments besmirching Auburn. The bit of optimism I hold leads me to hope like hell that someone will not verify my prediction as accurate.

I no longer read comments to Auburn and bama stories; it’s too painful to read that much hate and think of the quality of the persons that wrote them.

I hope for full and speedy recovery of the victims of this crime.

Fans look through the glasses of their favorite team far too often. This shooting probably has nothing to do with football, Alabama, Auburn, etc. It's scary that stuff like this can happen.

Hopefully you are correct but in the state of Alabama it appears that EVERTHING is about football and both sides have some real rabid nuts out there.
