You don't have a clue what his greatest sin is. Neither do I. I do know that running with idiots can sometimes turn you into one.
I've always looked at John as if he were probably a model citizen.
Flashing gang signs leads people to believe bad things. Makes you look foolish aswell. People don't get thrown from planes for no reason. Sit down and shut up. Millions or no millions.
I see nobody commented on the "if he were a former Cardinal" comment. It's spot on.
Some of you act as if he's your kin and you are taking up for him. Very bizare

And if someone in your travelling party gets in an argument on the plane and gets kicked, you may or may not get the option to stay on the plane, and if you get the option to stay on, you still might elect to stay back with your: idiot friend, screaming baby, pmsing wife, bratty kid, drunk coworker, or whomever else you decided to make the trip with that day.

You want to start talking about individual points that nobody addressed? You didn't address my Luke Bryan point, nor my personal responsibility point. Extend my earlier analogy to yourself. I'm going to assume you're a white male not in the prime of his life anymore. Call me crazy, but I bet you were friends with 1 or 2 guys in your early 20s who were capable of starting a ruckus. And I bet you anything that if you both went out one night, and he had a little too much to drink and started cussing out the bar manager, you'd resent being called a thug if you were nothing more than an observer.
And you're right that running with idiots can sometimes turn you into one, but unless you have a great reason to believe that this is one of those sometimes, why would you assume so? Again, unless you had some ulterior motive, like being a rival fan, or being a...
