    i made a post yesterday about being conscious of the reality that the shooting of blake and the actions of the 17 yo shooter will continue play out facts/spin-wise over time, and the inevitable course of the evidence and analysis taking time to evolve and get all the loose stuff tight
     
    that's not becuase i think there's that much to doubt about the basic culpability of each party and how the individual transgressions are not all 'equal' or legally justified with each actor involved in both matters, even at this time
     
    it's becuase the game of arguing your pov using specific details that may soon get muddied, or shown to be misleading or erroneous, undermines the position taken even if it's still fundamentally valid overall and who wants even a marginally weakened stance? :) 
     
     
    to that point, this morning smerconish interviewed a times journalist from a team of reporters focused solely on assimilating all the existing video and audio evidence on the 17 yo's actions, specifically and all those who interacted with him during his time there, cops and civilians (very good stuff)
     
    and they show a lot that supports what most of us think from what we've seen already, as the 17 yo basically being a 'bad guy', but there is enough other stuff to keep this from being some glaringly obvious slam dunk in court or even in the broad media arena...there are a number of things that will need to be sorted in seeking all the facts and many details will get exaggerated or  misrepresented by humans in highly emotional and very serious opposition with each other
     
    some work will have to be done to prosecute the case on the 17 yo, given a highly skilled attorney already has enough to make a play to the camera and public opinion as much as to a judge.... having some kind of grounds for a public campaign to make the guy a 'hero' or poster-boy (hitler youth?) or at least a sympathetic and 'innocent' person, is a big goal for the right wing here
     
    at this point i still see the 17 yo as fully culpable myself, but you will see all these details argued over and amplified...i plan to judge them all on merit, naturally, tho i acknowledge my bottom line on 'things that are the most wrong in our society when it comes to racism' remains as it has been...logically/rationally and emotionally
     

    at least its white on white violence. can i get an amen

    I will say this also, and then let it rest, because I don’t like that I have been forced into a position of defending Dan Snyder. He deserves a lot of criticism.   
     

    Joe Gibbs always speaks highly of him.  Joe Gibbs helped him hire Rivera last Winter.


    I doubt anybody here wants to question Joe Gibbs integrity.

    Its the only amazon review i need on the guy.

     

    Dan will hopefully find the right captains(that can deal with him too)

    Also, pending some idea that Rivera is involved, anyone trying to throw him under the buss can go kick rocks. 
     

    he’s been thrown to the wolves for something he presumably had nothing to do with. With no executive support because the positions are empty except for the one filled by the empty suit. 
     

    it takes great courage, resolve and character to stand up and take charge in a position like that. And I’m not even a Rivera fan. 
     

    there’s enough people to throw stones at right now we don’t need to manufacture reasons to add Rivera to the lineup. 

    Ron is gibbs 3.0 so far. I do hate the negative headline with a ron picture

    Want to know something that accelerated this culture and behavior by the franchise? 

     

    Redskins Front office: https://www.redskins.com/team/front-office-roster/ - 0 women listed. 

     

    Eagles Front office: https://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/team/front-office/ - I lost count after 30. 

     

    I know I'll get some hate for this post, but we have zero women in our Front Office as far as I know. At least women that are listed. The only one I even know of is Jennifer King, but she's on the coaching staff. We have to do better, this doesn't seem like organization is actually hiring on an equal playing field. 

    Still living on Bruce time.

    He said in that article that he wasn't aware but the article did say he didnt pause when they asked him if he regretted taking the job.

     

    We'll see, Dan should have told him, I would be pissed if I was Ron, being hung out to dry like he was.

     

    How do you fix culture when you're not made aware of the negative situations that created the culture problem?

    The cheerleader thing was public before he took the job wasnt it? cant remember

    The woman on WTOP after the story broke worked for the Redskins or as a media person covering the Redskins in the 80’s and said it was going on then too. Even Cooke did things to her. 
     

    but she said it was the 80’s. Today is different and I think she’s right. 
     

    who gives a **** what happened with Cerrato and Gibbs. Can’t do anything about it. But this is now and something can be done. 

    Just saying you cant blame Dan like hes the one that did it...what so many here want to do
