<p>Let’s just say that guy is better off in prison now.</p>
<p>On another note, this hurts the image of not only 'Bama fans, but of people in the state of Alabama as a whole. NOTE: It is not my intention to offend anyone from the state of Alabama with my following statement (after all, I DECIDED to come here and love this place - Auburn). </p>
<p>However, being an out-of-state student, I can honestly say that the stereotypes associated with the state of Alabama are not great as it is. Most people from other states already “know/think of” Alabama as the land of the hillbilly and the redneck. Unfortunately, barbaric acts such as the one performed by said 'Bama fan go a long way in reinforcing this erroneous way of thinking. “Only in Alabama are people crazy/stupid enough to do something like that, especially over a dumb school rivalry.”</p>
<p>While I understand/believe that this way of thinking is simply ridiculous, I can guarantee you there are a lot of people out there that feel this way.</p>
<p>Again, not my intention to offend anyone. I love Alabama and its people (especially the girls - so nice/friendly/beautiful). ;)</p>
