Christian Schools are dangerous




Just ask Michael Buster. Mikey was visiting Charleston Southern University earlier in the month when he was robbed at gun point TWICE in three days. The second incident involved four CSU football players who have since been charged in connection with the armed robbery.

Buster was seated in the car with Riana Bishop, waiting for Andrew Hall, the owner of the car, to finish class. All of sudden, two men got into the back seat of the car. One of them, Ronald Blander, who was wearing a ski mask, allegedly demanded cash, while the other Samuel Baptiste held a gun to Buster’s head. The pair then forced Buster to drive to the nearby Atlantic Palms apartments where they made off with about $30. Seriously, you’re going to get your ass thrown in prison for 10-15 over $30 in cash. Dude, you could have robbed some kid at the ATM with a Butterfinger and gotten more than $30!

Oh wait, maybe you already robbed some kids at the ATM two days before. You see the first incident for Buster happened when he was sitting in the exact same car with Andrew Hall. (You know the guy he was waiting for during the second attack.) Seems two men knocked on their window and demanded the pair drive them to an ATM. When they got there, the two soon to be convicts robbed Buster and Hall and took off.

Students at the Christian school aren’t particularly shocked by the news, especially since this isn’t the first armed robbery on campus this semester.

"It's not really surprising, a lot of people might think it's surprising because it's a Christian school, oh, they're protected from all that stuff, but I mean, we're still in the world like everybody else," Bentley Christmas, a CSU student athlete said.

Earlier in the year, a student was robbed at gunpoint in his Russell Mills dormitory. The alleged perpetrator was a former student.

CSU’s football coach Jay Mills said he was very disappointed in his players, who have since been suspended by the school.

Two other football players, Zachery Hillery and Tyrone Lattimore are said to have been involved with the on campus robbery.

Remind me to avoid North Charleston.

Watch out Sammy, Ronnie, Zach and Ty, because the popo are on your tail!
