You would have to be living in a different world not to be aware of the murder of Jamae Jonae Harris. An innocent victim minding her own business, shot and killed because she refused to entertain advances of a thug.
Jamae was with her boyfriend when apparently a young thug made advances towards her. She declined and the end result was death.
She is the mother of a five-year-old son.
What did the University of Alabama due for her, her son and her family on Saturday when the Razorbacks played Alabama in basketball?
NOTHING !!!
The student section and adult fans cheered and displayed antics of a police pat down when Brandon Miller entered the court. SAY WHAT ?????
While Brandon Miller did not pull the trigger, he supplied the weapon. Now ask yourself this........If I gave a gun to you knowing full well you were drunk and not making good decisions, would I be in anyway responsible for your actions?
What about the bartender or liquor store that sold you all that booze, do they share in the crimes also?
Brandon Miller continues to live a life of freedom and basketball. Jamae's son lives a live without his mother. Jamae's mothers buried her daughter and will now raise her grandson.
Below is a brief narrative from the paper on the actions that occurred. For me, I believe that justice has not been served and that the University of Alabama should have to remove Brandon Miller from their team.
I didn't believe the entire program should be shut down, because I for one hated receiving group discipline for something I did not do. Now, after witnessing the display of the student body and fans, I now believe it should all be shut down.
It would have meant so much more if the University of Alabama acknowledged this horrific murder and ask for prayers and/or donations for Jamae's family.
Somewhere along the line coaches, students and fans have lost the ability to lead, care and demonstrate true compassion for others damaged by sports members.
Shame on Alabama, Alabama sports and their fans.

Miles admitted he contacted Miller and asked him to bring him his gun.
Around 1:30 a.m. the day of the shooting, the freshman allegedly brought his teammate the loaded handgun that was used to kill Harris. Dan Wetzel mused on Miller’s decision (via Yahoo):
“This was Miller getting a request to bring a weapon to someone he had to reasonably believe had been drinking, perhaps heavily, in a crowded college bar district and doing so rather than a) not doing it, b) telling his teammate to leave rather than escalate the situation, c) driving over unarmed and picking his teammate up or d) any number of other better options — namely, anything else. Even doing nothing would have been better.”
Culpepper said Miles told him where Davis could find the gun in Miller’s car. Meanwhile, police testified that the windshield on Miller’s Dodge Charger was later struck twice by gunfire in the shooting.
