RE: Little Story Has Big 'Legs'

[Dan Marshall]

OR even easier... Go to his coach and say... "Coach, my roommate stole
$2500 from me... Should I Tie him up, burn him with incense, and stab
his leg, or should I call the police?

I think Coach Huggins could have given him some direction on that
question!

I keep going back to the history of one Donald Little.  Again based on
his
past history do you feel, based on your scenario below, that this is how
Donald should of handled that situation?  If the guy did steal $2500
from
Donald, why did'nt Donald pick up his cell phone and call the police?

I don't care what scenario occurred, all I'm saying is given the number
of
times that Donald has been in trouble (alleged or proven)you'd think he
would do ANYTHING in his power not to get involved with situations like
this.  IMHO the door can not close fast enough on Donald (and oh by the
way
I hope it does hit his @#$ on the way out.  Maybe a blow to his head
would
set him in the right direction)

Sounds to me like this guy steals $2500 from his roomate, goes out and
blows
it, denies ever having seen any of it, Don confronts him and they get
into a
fight, so he makes up some wild-ass story to the police about torture
etc.
to try and get out of it.  Has any of the people who supposedly were at
the
scene when this happened actually made a statement, and if not, where is
all
this information coming from?  So far, I haven't seen or heard any
direct
quotes from people who actually saw all this take place.  I think this
gives
you some kind of idea of the type of things you read and see in the
media
every day.  And, by the way, has Hugg's sold his house yet, I mean he's
definitely going to W.V., right?
