Georgia wide receiver Rara Thomas arrested on multiple ‘family violence’ counts
Georgia wide receiver Rara Thomas was arrested on Friday morning on one count of cruelty to children, which is a felony, and two counts of battery, both of which are misdemeanors. All of the charges carry a “family violence” tag.
Comments
Other reports are saying he was "arrested July 26th at 3:20 AM for three counts of Cruelty to Children in the 2nd Degree, and three counts of Battery - FV."
This is now a trend. He was previously arrested for similar charges, but they were dropped. He needs to go ASAP.
Think we have seen and heard enough. Plenty of good, talented players on this roster. The job is there for the taking now, who will grab it?
He should be kicked off the team. Cruelty to anyone is unacceptable, but especially to children. That should be the least thing done to him.
Not the first time. He's gone.
Time to cut him loose. Not an acceptable violation
Oof. No more chances. Cut him.
IMO this is a good opportunity to show the team that there are consequences. No matter your position.
Bye
I hope Smart makes a decision today. The sooner the better.
No place in any football program for someone who take these actions against anyone, much less against a defenseless kid. But I'll guarantee you, sadly, some team will take him, and give him a 3rd chance. And I bet Thomas claims he's a "man"..he's far from being a man in my opinion.
Nobody wants our Dawgs to win and win it all more than me this year, but this is just another point on the graph that the team is out of control when not on campus. Ra Ra Thomas should be summarily dismissed from the team and sent packing back to Sippit. This is not his first arrest on the same crimes. We do not need this type of toxic publicity for our university. It destroys all the good that our football program has brought to the Bulldog Nation over the Kirby Smart era.
Off the team, try to get him some help. If he chooses to transfer and someone will take, don't stand in his way. Young man needs some help.
The only aspect of your post I disagree with is this is somehow within the control of UGA or the coaching staff. He was arrested in ACC which means he likely was in his regularly assigned housing. This weekend is the big BBQ event and fall camp starts next week I believe.
Anyway, it doesn't matter where he was. He's got an anger/violence issue and nothing UGA or Kirby can do to stop that or get it under control. If he's putting children in danger/harming children, he needs jail time and some serious counseling.
He needs to be kicked off the team immediately.. **** are these dudes in the program thinking… driving like fools and abusive behavior is and should never be tolerated… enough
