" There is your sports programs, have to recruit people from distant locations to compete. Remember the days when players came from around the area and so did the playes at other colleges. Different world today, but guess if people are willing to pay $35 to $350 for a set to see a big sports event while the participants get paid millions....., we simply have our priorities in a cluster mess ! Why not get real, educate the people; stop spending money on small time sports programs that could be spent on techincal, medical, and upcoming career opportunities. "

" There is NO defense. He'll act out again and again until someone dies. Color has nothing to do with his actions or the community reactions. Its just what some people use to hide behind.

If his victim was another color, why isn't this a Hate Crime??? Oh I forgot, that only works one way.

EAC should be ashamed of its sports program. Once again its bringing a bad image to our valley. "

" You all dont know this guy to be so harsh! And rational thought you need to keeps your rational thoughts to youself! But you are right looks can be deceiving, so who is anybody to be so judgemental, and who are you to bring his family into this? Do you know them?Have you met them? If not how do you know what they have or how they are living?Come on people just let it go and move on. Please dont get on here and make it look like we are ignorant! "

" Really who gets on the internet everyday and make ignorant comments such as these.These comments must be coming from those that have no life and nothing else better to do!! And you can tell its the same people over and over!And lets be for real how many of you even know this guy? Or his family personally to make these types of comment. These comments is just show how ignorant you all are. His family no matter what had nothing to do with it. And really and truly i hope the best for the victim and the suspect. "

" It's simple this person made a huge mistake. Is he a bad person? I don't know. But 20 is a adult and you need to act like one. You screw up take what is coming to you. College is not High School. As for the program at EAC it has always had problems form playes to coaches, yes even when Tidwell was in charge. Alot gets put to the side and no ones knows. "

" To get it right.. I didn't say anything about this young mans GPA, and his victim needs your prayers, not the guy who did the choking.
And role model he will be, who are you, Yoda?
Thats not the kind of role model I want my kids to look up to. "

" Don't bring Obama into this, By the way, you can't seal your birth records, that is just a right-wing internet lie.
As far as Livingston goes, he's from a poor family in a town in South Carolina. He has a thick accent which makes him appear to be ignorant. The judge couldn't even understand him when he said where he was from. People judge books by their cover unfortunately, and while he may be a nice guy, he looks rough. What he did to his victim, who is also black, deserves punishment. I hope he learns and can move forward. "

" Stop juding him. You people don't even know this young man or what happened before that lead to the incident. And him getting a haircut has nothing to do with this so "Jack" chill out. Find out the facts before you have something ignorant to say. "

" Well yeaaaa That's like some of you out there to cry about oooooh he's black, That has nothing to do with it, Shame on you. Did the other kid get choked because he was white?????????????? I am so sick of people crying about race, Those days are over............... Oh barack Obama he is half and half so now what do you have to say, who knows what else he is it's a secret. We the people know nothing about this man. except he went to Hawaii to have his records sealed. Why is that smarty pants......... Then grandma died. "

" If his GPA really is 3.4 it is a huge surprise. Most of the football players are at EAC because they couldn't make the grades to get into a D-1 school. Ask O'Mera how many of his players will make the grade. Answer, probably about 5 percent! "

The Bible says,"Judge not unless ye be judged."Judge yourself not others, because you have no idea!! And I do believe ALL THINGS,are possible through Christ!! All of you need to pray for these kids instead of being against them. People Really!! "

" He was just a few steps from murder!!!! Normal people have self control and do not choke each other ti the point of passing out. I resent that he is probably here on scholarship which, I am working hard to pay for, while he "MAKES MISTAKES"!!! "

" well the guy messed up and he should pay the consequences for the incident.just because he has a special talent such as playing football, why does he deserve special treatment? "

" Who do we think we are judging people we don't even know. Yes he did somethin wrong but who hasn't. We all know someone who has hit someone else or hurt someone else but did we treat them like we are treating Emmanuel. We don't even know this guy but just because he isn't from here we think he's a hoodlum. "




Disgusted wrote on Nov 12, 2008 3:26 PM:

" Eastern Arizona Courier should be ashamed of themselves. Since when do they EVER have a front page story with pictures of a person who has been charged with ONE count of aggravated assault? Never! Because this is an EAC athlete, this story is front page news. The truth is, this kid is a good kid that made a mistake and does not deserve to have his picture splashed on the front page like he is a murderer! There are many people trying to help him because they know him, and they aren't coaches!! "

" I just might be time for our community to unite against O'Mera if he is truly trying to get this one reinstated. Holt REALLY $2000 That's chump change!!! Is a persons safety worth so little. EVERYONE IN PRISON PROBABLY REGRETS THEIR BEHAVIOR, That doesn't mean it should go unpunished. Football at a 4yr college..On the government dime?..this young man is not exactly role model material!! "




Claire wrote on Nov 12, 2008 2:37 PM:

" These damned coaches care more about their stupid football than anything else. Football is not the most important thing in this world people, its pathetic that half the students dont even get passing grades but because they're in a sport they get to slide by, or if they are choking people to almost killing them these coaches still dont care, as long as the game goes on. There should be zero tolerance for this kind of behaviour, kick him out of school,,, "
