    Gee, I keep forgetting that JR is the final judge on what we get to talk about.

    Jesus, Hondo, we beat the shit out of this topic first time around.

    Guy was an idiot.

    Some rent-a-cop with compensation issues tasers him.

    The world is divided.

    Ho fucking hum.

    I merely posted a news story that he apologized to the university, which certainly is an indication to me that he won't sue. Very surprising.

    Ever think the university offered him cash to make him go away?

    So the university paid him off, yet he still apologized?

    Part of the deal possibly

    We pay you XXX, you get down on your knees, apologize and then STFU about it forever.

    It's like, "We'll pay you not to sue us but we'll humiliate you anyway".

    It's called bullying.

    Well, if the guy had so much courage in his convictions that he was willing to get physically subdued and tased for it, why is he folding like a cheap lawn chair now?

    Because nothing in JR world has to be remotely tied to facts. He just makes it up as he goes along.
