Marshon Lattimore Arrested

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I guess we all should slow down a bit and let things play out. Likely Gotohell will come down on him like a ton of bricks, but maybe things won’t play out so bad....

I agree. Even if he’s guilty as long as it doesn’t affect his play I don’t care. Hopefully he realizes what happens when you don’t think about what happens when you don’t watch the company you keep. If it means he’s cheaper and he learns from it I’m ok with it.
When the dust settles and we find out there’s more too it I may change my mind but as of right now I’m keeping an open mind.

I took a chance and hired a kid who had recently been charged with a firearms violation of some sort. He was in a car with a guy who was a felon in possession of a gun. Can’t remember all the details but he was looking at jail time and the judge gave him diversion contingent on him keeping steady employment. He had no real direction and just needed a job, wasn’t thinking about a career. I hired him as a dishwasher and after 4 years he was managing the front of house. Never missed a day, never late, drawer never came up short. He later told me that working with me saved his life. Why? It wasn’t me, it was because of the culture I created in the place. He was surrounded by good employees who wanted him to succeed but would also hold him accountable. He quickly figured out that if he worked hard and bought into that culture he would have the same chance for advancement as everyone else.
He came in looking for a paycheck and left with all the skills he needed to have a great career. He’s now managing one of the more well known restaurants in the city.
Apples and oranges maybe, but experiences like this can change a person. I believe our locker room is the best place for him if he deserves a second chance.
