    Damn, they had the trial already? That's some fast justice making there.

    People arrest drug dealers at their place of business all the time. Why should radio announcers get a break?
     
  3. Cops must have been Purdue fans.

    Indiana University Police are Purdue fans?

    Given how they've tended to treat students, yeah, you might think that.

    I don't know, he is charged with a boatload of felonies. Lesser counts, maybe.

    Oh please. Leary's a semi-famous figure in the state with deep ties there. I'm sure they knew where he lives, where he goes, and most everything else about him. He wasn't gonna disappear if they didn't arrest him that very second.

    They chose to make the arrest in front of the Assembly Hall crowd right before he was supposed to go on the air broadcasting IU's biggest game of the year. Sure sounds like police grandstanding to me. I'm curious how the broadcast handled it.

    Maybe they were afraid he'd escape through a trap door behind the drummer.

    Who wants an orange whip? Orange whip? Orange whip? Three orange whips.

    I noticed Leary changed his shirt for the mugshot.

    My alma mater had one of its players get arrested AS HE WALKED OFF THE COURT after a road game at SIU-Edwardsville.

    Also: IU cops are pricks, by and large. But you'd be a prick, too, if you took the shit they take from students on a routine basis.
