backbreaker, AC/DC, I'm disappointed in both of you. I've been around a long time, and I'm surprised to see these comments coming from you two.
AC/DC-Well aren't you the big bad Alpha Male? Uh oh, don't look at his girl or he's gonna start fighting everybody! What a big strong man! You'd be proud to die "defending" your "baby" from guys she was flirting with? To actually die...for a woman? The only women I'd die defending are my mom and my sisters. THAT would be a noble sacrifice. But for a girl? I don't like to use the term AFC (or DJ for that matter) but damn, only a true chump could say something like that. I guess if she was being attacked, ok...but this girl wasn't being attacked, although she was being pounded. Have you ever heard the phrase "Love is the idea that one woman differs from another."? Know what you should do if someone touches your girl? GET A NEW AND BETTER ONE.
backbreaker-ugh, where do I begin? Nothing is life or death in regards to women. O'Leary's "AFCness" had nothing to do with his death. True, he sholdn't have gone to pick her hoe ass up, but being murdered shouldn't have crossed his mind as a risk. He's not the criminal here, but the victim. True, i wasn't there, so I don't know what O'Leary did to provoke the jocks...BUT COME ON.
You used this article to point out some wuss behavior. And we can learn a little bit from that. But come on, man-the guy got killed by some thugs. The girl, and the way O'leary behaved, have NOTHING in common with seduction. Being an AFC can't get you killed, except for the slow, miserable death an AFC life brings eventually.
You can do better. Think about it-do you really need to stretch a dating philosophy this far?
As for the situation, it sounds like Woods didn't actually kill O'Leary. it sounds like both guys were in the wrong place at the wrong time. The other guys did the killing (and they got light ass sentences too!) He did his time, he should be allowed to go to college on scholarship for football. However, give him this stipulation: he may never play professional football, in any way, shape or form, no matter how good he is. Missing out on that sounds fair to me.
And for those that say O'Leary did the right thing in picking her up, that say "it's part of a relationship": you're telling me that in a party full of people, that probably all drive nice cars, she couldn't find one person to give her a ride? That she had to pull this sorry kid's butt out of bed at 2 AM to pick her up from a party he wasn't invited to, full of athletic, masculine football players? DUH. That's a pretty one-sided relationship to me. And if she really wanted to see him because she was tired of getting hit on, why didn't she call him sooner? The girl was a straight-up slut. No question. Get a clue. If you want to believe otherwise, go give Dr. Phil a call.
