WELL MY COMMENT IS THAT THESE GUYS PLAYED IN THE RAIN AND THEY GOT WET. NO DOUBT ABOUT IT THEY ARE WRONG NO MATTER HOW YOU SLICE THE PIE. YOU CANT MAKE ENOUGH EXCUSES FOR PEOPLE WHO DONT WANT TO WORK BUT YET WANT TO LIVE THE LIFESTYLE OF A WORKING MAN AND ARE ABLE TO SPEND THEIR DOPE MONEY AT THE SAME STORES AS A HONEST WORKING MAN DOES. ITS A SHAME THAT PEOPLE EVEN TRY TO TAKE UP FOR PEOPLE LIKE THIS.
