I kinda hope he doesn’t. This is gold and he’s more than screwed. Hence, why there are no hawk trolls in here defending him.
Sans the sexual assault allegations this whole thing is weak sauce. I don't think there's legs to that any way, no one wants to report anything now that the cops are investigating.
Yeah, some of these other former band members really lack perspective. They used to be a smaller minority, but perhaps it is a larger populace now.
No, a band going though a crowd of people can't force that crowd out of the way under the guise of formation
If you would bother to actually read the posts, most former marching band members are saying that the Iowa band's decision to try and force its way through the crowd was wrong. But, I guess we've just gotta hate for the sake of hating.
It is more than the decision by the band director. It is the behavior of the band members, which if you'd read, has been excused by a several posters.
85%+ of the band members can't even see any pushing going on at the front of the formation. They're just following the person behind them. They cannot see what's going on in front, because they are looking at the back of someone's head. They aren't looking at drone camera footage.

I've had it bookmarked waiting to go home and watch it all
If some moron band member came up behind a crowd with a swinging tuba and hit them, I’d count that as the assault.
JP and Barta were going to go with that approach until band members families started passing rumors into the press and Herrold got involved suggesting ISU had a bad program.
Telling JP he is running an unaccountable program is like killing John WIck's puppy.
That is a completely different contention than bringing up they are taught to stay in formation at all costs and alluding to a right to touch people in a crowd they're ramming though.They had no right to try and physically maintain formation.
As for those that did not have the knowledge, via visual or otherwise, that the band was trying to move through a crowd in formation, it is unlikely they are the members of the band we are speaking of. There is not much relevance other than saying not all band members were involved. Further, given the gradients of the exits at JTS, plus common sense, it likely a larger percentage than you realize at fault.
