DMN- Terry Glenn Cited for Public Intoxication

[Hostile]

The thing is the details are all pretty murky, at least what has been reported in the press. No one knows how close people were to the shots.

That is convoluted logic. If a weapon was fired, regardless of how close he came to hitting who he was aiming at, it should not matter.

 

[LaTunaNostra]

Cmon LTN, we all know about that time in college....

We don't wanna get into the dynamics of female relief, do we?

Let's just say it's another one of the great injustices of life that there are not just fewer women's rest rooms, but fewer stalls, and absolutely no resource to dumpsters bar indecent exposure.

Well, I'm pleased at least that Terry isn't being equated to Jack the Ripper here..and that Sean Taylor managed to get into the mix. LOL!

But I really am saddened he is off the wagon. He had alcoholism in his family, and when Bill mentioned just yesterday 'this one's had a tough life', that was a large part of it.

Someone else publically intoxicated and not driving, you could just laugh it off.

I am going to pray for him, melodramatic as it sounds. Poor baby.

I can't believe people are defending Glenn and cracking on the police....Glenn got exactly what he deserved.

Public, not private, Intoxication is a crime.
Urinating in public, which includes exposiing yourself in public, is a crime.

People arrested for public intoxication and urinating in public are taken to jail....there's only 1 way to go to jail, handcuffed...it's procedure and for everyone's safety. I'm sure Glenn was cuffed while being arrested, cited, questioned about his crime, and prepared to be taken to jail. When they discovered there was a sober adult friend and decided to release him in the friend's custody, I'm sure that's when the cuffs were removed.

No, it's not a huge deal compared to all the other things people do, including 30 year old WRs in the NFL with millions of dollars, but let's not pretend that it was nothing or that he deserved any better treatment than any of us would get if the police caught us drunk in public and pissing in a public restaurant parking lot against a dumpster.

He will go to court, pay a fine, and endure the embarrassment that a grown man his age should endure....end of story.

 

[Way 'nuff]

That is convoluted logic. If a weapon was fired, regardless of how close he came to hitting who he was aiming at, it should not matter.

So if he shot straight up in the air that'd be the same as a bullet barely missing someones shoulder?

 

[Tuna Helper]

This isn't so bad. I was drunk once at a high school party, and when I got home I whizzed on the neighbor's dog.

Public intoxication laws in Texas are silly.

Say hi to Sean "Grand Theft Auto" Taylor for me, k?

That picture just made my day.

 

[junk]

Pretty funny stuff.

A sure fire way to get in trouble when you've had a few is to piss somewhere you aren't supposed to.

Funniest story I have about that. New Years Eve. My friends are I are all under 21. We'd have a few and stopped at a convenience store to meet up with friends. I head inside to use the restrooms. My friends use the alley. As they are doing their business, a set of headlights come on and light them up. Guess who? The cops.

I was having a good laugh about it until my friends came into the convenience store with cops in tow and pointed me out as the third member of the party. Jerks.

Glenn will get way more attention than this deserves because of his fame. Worst case should be a slap on the wrist and a fine.

 

[iceberg]

Yup, we all do have 'stories' of mistreatment.

All of us, but are they based on race?

I vowed to myself long ago to be intellectually honest enough to admit that all my life I have benefited from white privilege..the open door policy that afford me so many commonplace dignities, whether they be never having my credit card signature checked, walking into a department store with a handbag large enough to stuff a 9 inch tv into and NOT being obviously followed by store ***** (as opposed to when I'm shopping with a black gf...we know she has to take a wallet that I can stash in my purse or it's constant gumshoe tracking), having folks automaticaly expect that I 'earned" my lot in life, or just listening to me as though I had something to say worth hearing.

White privilege. Nothing special.

No big deal.

Lest you don't have it.

And those shoes are the ones we should ALL experience walking in for a few days.

sorry, i won't focus or limit myself to the trials and tribulations of any ONE race. i hate racism and i hate ANYONE being singled out for their race to either punish them or praise them for what in the end is soley a fact of birth that you will be ONE race or another.

and yes, i've been threatened by blacks while in "their neighborhood" as a child in austin and told my "white a** better be gone before the sun goes down". also in austin i had a group of black kids take my basketball (i was more of an icecube at the time) and begin to kick my arse and my mom had to literally come over (we were in a public gym just playing with friends) and get me outta there cause i was getting stomped.

as you can see, that stays with you when you're a kid of 6-7 years old. now i can either spend my life demanding revenge for the unjust treatment or i can realize that's how life works and i need to take some steps to work past it even if i go at it alone.

then 3-4 years ago leaving deep ellum with friends we passed by a group of black people outside a clud and we heard one of 'em say "you be some brave white boys to be here..."

wow. i left liquid lounge to go back to my truck and i'm "brave"? and i used to work with a friend who had to go before HR because he was accused of being racist because he had to fire a black lady who was in the end NOT doing her job and had MORE warnings than i could get away with and HR realized that and in the end all was fine. but he still had to go through all that crap of being called racist and having to defend his actions.

but those are isolated incidents, latuna. i'm sure they have their reasons for it both when i was a child and then 3-4 years ago when i was a much older child. and i'm sure there are people who use their race one way or another to be basically lazy - yes. all that is life and a part of living, not to be called out at every opportunity and the one who's in the "majority" race punished or having to be "defensive".

i don't doubt you've gotten some breaks for being who you are. i don't doubt i have also. just as i don't doubt there are those out there who are flaming racist that makes it tough for all of us to just "get along".

but sooner or later we're going to need to quit "handicapping" races and people are going to have to quit expecting a + here and there because of their race and not what they do and how they do it.

if you really want racism to end you gotta quit seeing races. that's a lot to ask of people and in our lifetime it won't happen. so while i agree with you on a lot of things i disagree that simply reverting to the other extreme is "helpful" in the overall problem.

i don't deny it's tough being black in todays world. i'm sure it was a lot tougher 30-40 years ago and brutal before that. what history has done we can either work to undo and come together or we can keep seperating ourselves and expecting differences in treatment that in the beginning we hated - those differences in treatment.

i also don't deny it's tough being a woman at times. or chinese. or the fat kid, or the gay dude in gym class trying not to stare. is there anyone over 10 years old alive who's not felt like they didn't belong in many social and other situations?

God made us different for a reason. i can only hope one day we get smart enough to realize it should be a good thing, not additional reasons to fight.

and who give a damn where terry glenn had to peepee last night unless it was on my tire after a steely dan concert, then i'd just want his autograph when he was done. : )

 

[kmp77]

Would'nt pissing on a jack in the box dumpster in the ghetto be considered cleaning it?? He was doing them a favor....try to do something nice and get a ticket...sheesh...

When you gotta go...you gotta go....

And the fact that you guys are forced to.....*gulp*.....sit down on public toilets

 

[conner01]

i don't know about you guys but i feel much safer knowing they got this serial pisser off the streets..lol
if he was behind the dumpster thats not exactly in public.i really don't see the big deal here. the guy went behind a dumpster and took a whiz, god of all the crimes commited in dallas last night this is got to be the worst

 

[ODawg]

gO tERrY Go TeRrY gO

 

[Rack]

So he whizzed on a dumpster... what's the problem?


He did something that everyone and every living mammal on the planet has to do on a daily basis, but because it was outdoors, it's a big deal?


Sorry, don't see a problem.

And whizzing outdoors doesn't make someone any less "civilized" then someone who whizzes in a pretty porcelin (sp?) toilet. Sometimes you just CAN'T make it to the toilet anyway.

Now, the public intoxication (which can be anything from having drank two beers to having drank almost all beers) is disappointing.

Been There, Done That....next......

 

[Tobal]

I really consider myself a good guy, I also feel like I'm responsible. I could see myself doing the same thing Glenn did.

Tonight, New Years Eve I will probably get too intoxicated to drive, my friend, wife or a taxi will take us home we might stop at what-a-burger like the old college days and get something to eat. I look in the place it's got a line at both the counter and the bath room so I step behind the building to keep from pissing myself.

Since when did something like that become such a big deal. Maybe I'm just a hick from the farm, but I'm betting I don't know 5 guys who haven't taken a leak behind a building at one time or another.

 

[calico]

At least Terry waits for nightfall. My brother likes to get **** faced in the middle of the day and piss outside in the parking lots of nice restaurants...this is just harassment by the corrupt police.....err...not.

[jterrell]

I was a true freshman at Texas Tech, 18 years old. Was 2nd string at Free Safety.

I got caught by a campus cop peeing between two trucks after curfew--also very drunk after drinking free pitchers. He didn't arrest me or handcuff me but he took my name down and turned me in to Carlos Mainord who was our Defensive Coordinator. Bam Morris was the only guy who didnt high tail it into the dorm thus foreshadowing his later inability to avoid trouble but also my friednship to him.

The next day the coach didn't say much to me other than he had been visited by campus police. I went into the lockerroom and was 6th (last) on the dang depth chart. I never made it as high as 2nd again
