Jasper Howard Dies After Stabbing

What ever happened to just getting into a fistfight? A bloody nose or a black eye and you just shake it off and move on?:dunno:

Yes I saw this.....what a shame. Yeah....when I was a kid, we'd meet after school and duke it out and then go about our business. Now, you get stabbed to death.

I'm truly glad to be an old fuck....no way would I want to be a young kid today.

Too many pussies in society today, they need guns and knives before they can get in a fight. I pray that God gives his family the strength to move on. RIP.

It was gang violence, he was a Jet and there were Sharks at the dance.

All jokling aside, it's a shame. Really just punch him in the nose and guess what he got the message, no your more than likley going to go to jail over something that could have been solved with fist.

It is really a shame to hear about that his teammates seemed to speak very highly of him R.I.P.

I cant believe people think fistfighting is an acceptable way to settle differences! Jesus...When will we all evolve into a real intelligent life-form?:dunno:

That's not at all what we are saying. Like it has been posted before, when we had fights at school we didn't use gun or knives. The typical bloody nose or Black eye was as far as it ever got.maybe a broken finger or two but a better alternative to stabbing someone or shooting them out of aggression instead of self defense.

Here's an update from ESPN.com. They have arrested 3 and are charging one with the murder.

I liked how this weekend every game in the Big East had a moment of silence for Jasper and the entire teams walked to midfield and shook hands. Also when UCONN came out aganist WVU the huskies got a standing ovation from the crowd. Truly a class act in college football.

I was glad to see that as well. Its good to recognize tragic events like this in a positive light, for the family players and true fans alike. I hope the murder gets rightful justice.
