From another article on a different Dawgs site they gave a more detailed list of items….
"The items listed in the report as stolen and recovered were one bag of Totino's pizza rolls, one bag of Great Value brand granulated sugar, one loaf of Great Value brand bread, one eight-pack of Gatorade, one pack of Febreze bathroom air fresheners, five packs of Febreze plug-ins, one pack of Great Value brand 500-count napkins, one Great Value brand triple roll pack of paper towels, and one pack of Great Value brand foam plates. The total amount for the items in question adds up to $94."
Sounds like a couple of college kids that like to keep their room smelling clean and fresh!
Georgia also had two special teams players win national awards this week. The news about Thorson winning the Ray Guy award was posted quickly, but the story about Gardner winning the long snapper award took awhile to be posted.
Priorities in journalism. Hmm.
Not good. Makes no sense. Stupidity and immaturity if true. But also not major. Let it be a lesson learned well, either way.
I sense quite a bit of defending these kids actions!
They stole from the store.
Stealing is against the law.
They deserve punishment.
Hope they can play Jan 1!
stealing is pretty major in my opinion
I don't sense people defending anyone's actions, but rather searching for what actions took place. Once all facts are assembled and due process plays out, I don't think anyone's against holding guilty people accountable… or letting innocent people resume their lives. (And of course there's that pesky little assumption of innocent until proven guilty.) I read elsewhere that Walmart tried to put credit back onto the kids' charge cards for items that were "returned"… well if you insisted they were stolen, why are you giving credit back?! Just lots of confusion and half-baked reporting at this point. In the meantime, it's good to read in this thread of some positive things going on with our student athletes. Go Dawgs!
seriously?
I mean, handcuffs for pizza rolls and paper plates.
I get it, wrong is wrong and should treated justly, but handcuffs for $94 worth of this stuff. I’d be willing to believe the lax in scanning was an accident. These guys are so much larger than regular humans, they couldn’t be sneaky anywhere.
And I feel as tho if they were going to be nefarious, they probably go after crab legs ( ala James Winston). 😆
Either way, I’m sure Kirby got em straight. But for anyone to go off and say that the players are out of hand for whatever type of incident this was… that’d be a stretch.
Go dawgs!
College kids being college kids. Why was there such an effort made to "bust" these 2? And I would guess much more is stolen from WM daily. For the crap they stole, it seems a reprimand would have been sufficient. And I apply this approach to any student, give em a break - for small mistakes anyway. I never stole, but would've never made it through UGA if every time I made a **** mistake people wanted tar & feather me & run me out of town on a rail!
If anything, they should get in trouble for taking such junk!! If I shopped at Wal-Mart, I'd stop.
Thank you for that uplifting comment! So happy to see Devon get his degree, and move forward with his life after the disabling injury he suffered against our DAWGS. The part of the story i like most is UGA did all they could to help this young man lead as near a normal life as possible after his injury. I dont think many schools would've done that much to help a player from an opposing team..
Everyone was quick to say this was some sort of missing an item or two by mistake in scanning. "Everybody makes mistakes" and " no body's perfect" and "it wasn't like they robbed a bank" , sadly it's not like these guys don't have the money to pay and certainly looks like it was no accident.
Lack of judgement and lack of common sense. Paper Plates, Paper towels, and Febreze unreal. If anyone thinks differently, then think about this, these are kids and mistakes happen. Allow them to serve their punishment and move on, this is not a **** and grab, gang like incident. Based on the items, it really appears that these kids lost their train of thought.
I have to confess my own blunder in going through self-checkout at Walmart about a year ago. Among the items I purchased was an on sale key lime pie. After I returned home, I unpacked my groceries only to realize that though I paid for the bargain pie, I had left it on the check out top. Now that I have acknowledged this faux pas, I can only hope Walmart will not penalize my ability to shop there for the next two years.
These items added up to $100.00? They must've made at least 3 trips back and forth to get it all.
With as many people in need of a job there shouldn’t be a “self checkout”. How about some good ole customer service ? I mean I know WalMart is close to bankruptcy !! 🙄 Yes sarcasm.
