Bryce Thompson out - potentially

From what I've read he didn't actually hit anyone. Not saying that what he did is excusable, but there could be a way back for him.
 
“Thompson was identified by a witness, who saw him yelling in the stairwell. He claimed to hear both alleged threats and heard "a loud crashing sound, presumably when the gate was ripped off," according to the arrest warrant.
Two other witnesses heard parts of the exchange, but could not see Thompson as the first witness impeded their view. Both stated "it was the same time and incident" that the first witness reported.”

Also it was 2 witnesses who heard him reference shooting up the school threat. Only one of the 2 in the back heard it but the guy who made the visual ID also heard him make both threats.
 
If the "shoot up the school" was stated to police and is confirmed in investigation your looking at a zero tolerance and the whole thing is escalated into protection of the school not just to the girl. Could you imagine the liability the school be taking on if he did assault or shoot someone on campus. Shut the doors football would be last of the fans worries.

Wow....Just a bunch of kids used as witnesses who were probably underage drinking.

An over-reactive police department investigating what could have or could not have been stated.

Sounds like drama because it is.

Volnation has intervened and is split with a 50% convicted and 50% innocent verdict. Debates on the coulda, shoulda and woulda on if the coach or university will kick Thompson off the team or discharge. Don't forget the response, "Didn't want him anyway" or "they are out to get us."

News Outlets running their normal headlines because it is Tennessee.

Thompson has been arrested based on assumptions/facts that need to be sorted out. Could be another AJ thing. Who knows at this point. Charge high bargain low...

Football players should not be allowed to date during the season and the only contact with women they should have is with their moms' sisters and Grandmothers. LOL

It's the normal initial OverReaction. A 360 circle. An OMG moment for some.

Didn't read that part. Might be best to wash our hands of this **** and send him on his way
 
Yeah. Because you have done so many of these investigations right?

Oh wait you haven’t. Do you know what happens when someone makes a threat against a school or anything else such as the President and so forth?

They are investigated, their families are interviewed, the subject is interviewed, etc. to see if the person actually has the motive, means, and ability to conduct said attack.

They are not instantly thrown in jail and they are not arrested. The only way to be arrested for that is for there to be probable cause that the individual actually had the means, motive, and ability to carry out the action.
Oh, hush. I’m fully aware it’s not instant and you need probable cause. Go back and read, I said if it was said. If he didn’t say it, no issue. Also, you don’t have to have the means to be charged with that (in most states, may not be the case for TN, but I’d doubt it) and after looking, you don’t need the means the threat alone is enough.

In the other reports it states that none of the witnesses visually saw him but later ID'd him.
