Nothing like seeing the youth of today learning from the mistakes of others. Three days after Sean Taylor was put in the ground after being murdered in a botched home invasion, we hear this uplifting news out of College Station, TX.
Two players for the Aggies, Yemi Babalola and Brandon Joiner were arrested for robbery. Babalola was charged with two aggravated robbery counts and one count of misdemeanor marijuana possession and Joiner was hit with three drug possession counts, one a felony.
One resident suffered minor injuries during the robbery attempt in which one of the two Aggies brandished a semiautomatic pistol. The drug charges came when the suspects’ homes were searched after the robbery.
Babalola is a junior offensive lineman who played in nine games this season and Joiner is a freshman defensive end who took a redshirt this year.
The robbery occurred on November 29th – two days after Taylor was shot. One can only imagine how stupid these kids have to be after seeing 48 hours of news coverage regarding this robbery gone wrong and a NFL superstar murdered.
Grabbing a gun and robbing someone’s home would be the last thing you’d expect a college football player on scholarship to do at at time like this. Especially at Texas A&M, where they’re supposedly stand up folks down there in College Station.
And yet the Canes are the thugs, right?
Since september 1st, football players from 25 different div 1-A schools have been arrested, with Penn State leading the way with 5 different players arrested. Yet I dont see anyone calling JoePa’s boys thugs.
We all know there is a double standard out there.
