it’s almost like these boys are cursed. i think these kids are going to get the “OJ treatment”. the law/media is going to hound them as much as possible to show just how “bad” they really are…poor things.

im sorry I should not have called him an idiot. Bell is only a child. What I meant to say was that he made a terrible discission along with many other terrible discissions that he made including taking part of the beating of those racist white kids. He is not going to play college football because he couldnt play high school football because he was locked up.
