Former CB Cissoko arrested on armed robbery charges

So you read through my member page and look at all of my posts. Creepy. Do I need an MGoRestraining order?

So you don't like the tone of my posts. Fine.

I come across are whiny and authoritative to you. Fine

Clearly my posts bother you. Sooooooooo...maybe you should just quit reading them?

See how easy that is? So much easier than starting useless arguments about why you don't like me, or how I'm this or I'm that. If I put you in such a tizzy every time you read anything I write, then maybe the simplest solution is just stop reading.

Do you think so highly of yourself that you can point out a few things that you, the all-mighty Geaux_Blue, find annoying about the way I post, and I will magically change to suit your every whim?

Is the irony of you calling me too authoritative sounding, while at the same time telling me to go to law school on another thread because I clearly don't know as much about you, lost on you? Or, do you just prefer to continue doing mental gymnastics?

To summarize what I have posted before...

You need to get over whatever fictional/kindergarten beef you have with me and just let it go.

If I'm so "tired," and you get so "tired" of responding to all of my posts, then just let it go.

If you really are tired of it, then just scroll over my posts, and quit responding to them.

Your actions don't match up with your rhetoric. You're tired of me, and yet you continue to seek out my posts (and apparently read through my member log) and comment on them, hoping to provoke a response.

You are contrary for the sake of being contrary, and often times your responses to my posts have nothing to do with the thread, and are simply just you, being a douche bag.

I'm sorry that if me conveying my thoughts in a confident manner seems too authoritative to you.

Ill try to put it like this. Do I feel sad that BC will be punished and dealt with accordingly for his actions? No. Am I sad to see a 19 year old kid given a big opportunity and it blowing up in his face? Yes.

Its possible to feel bad about the situation without feeling that way about how the kid acted. Theres a big difference that blows my mind that people can't see both ways.

It isn't just "OMG hes a fucking scumbag" or "He was unfairly accused and he's a saint!". Its a two way street.

see above

He is a habitual offender, and now he will likely go to jail. Maybe he will learn his lesson, maybe not.

That being said, I do hope he can get his life in order so he doesn't turn into a career criminal. We have enough of those in society.

If you don't think it's too bad/a shame (called "sad" by some people) that a gifted athlete and young kid squandered a great opportunity, good for you. It's not unreasonable that people wish things had gone differently for him.

He's going to jail for this, he deserves to go to jail for this, I'm glad that he's going to jail since it seems like he's becoming an increasingly serious danger to society. I was a pizza guy! But "Fuck him?" You don't know this guy. My guess is he probably wishes he had your life.

I hope your kids never head down a bad path and you have to watch as the Zekes of the world explain what pieces of shit they are.

Pointing what looks like a real gun at someone to induce them to give you money is armed robbery in my book (not claiming that is the letter of the law). You can be sure is to the victim who was fearing for their life.

the article said that Cissoko pointed a pellet gun at the cab driver. That is definitely armed robbery. You don't even need to have a weapon in your possession to be charged with armed robbery, sticking your hand in your jacket and pointing it to make the victim think you have a gun is sufficient.

Ok, this was fail on my part. I completely missed the part where he used a pellet gun. The second half of my comment still stands.

Boubacar Cissoko, 20, who was kicked off the team in October, was arraigned this afternoon at the Washtenaw County Jail on a charge of assault with intent to rob while armed and two counts of larceny from a person.

this sure as shit looks like armed robbery

For clarification, the bad influences he ended up living with in ypsilanti were his "peers" from Detroit. I wasn't trying to blame location in any way there, sorry if that came off wrong. I'm also not making excuses for him, he made the choice to do what he did. I just wanted to say something to attest to his character (or at least what WAS his character), and that he wasn't a malicious person.

"Attempted armed robbery" isn't just another little bump in the road of life that most people encounter. If you have the opportunities that he had, and your life ends up like this, you deserve some ridicule.

I have seen the word sad used to describe Boubacar's downfall and I think disappointing is the word you are looking for. Sad is losing your mother or someone else you love and disappointing is when someone or something falls short of your expectations. I take no great joy in kicking a man when he is down nor do I waste my time feeling sorry for him either. He was given many chances and was never able to take advantage of them. For his sake and those that love him I hope he gets his life together.

Michigan State is just glad that they had the brawl before the bowl season or they'd have ran away with it.

Strong men....also....cry.

and let's not think David Brandon is naive: he probably understands the fact that RR correctly booted one of his 7 scholarship D-backs from the roster most likely cost the team bowl eligibility.

RR did the right thing. That thing cost Michigan in the short term, but proves his principles / m.o. for the long term.

will be how RR didn't take Dantonio's approach of trying to mentor him after his mistakes. there will STILL be a way to blame him for this.
