have you ever called 911 in a city about a stranger (RS was a moving target- where would 911 look)? I have and they pretty much ignored me- I called about a well dressed clean person flat on his back near a major hospital.
Right!!! You typically don’t know you’ve had too much until you stand up.The floor usually doesn’t start spinning until after you get home.
I believe it did indeed go up in Riley's case. I think his friends thought he was ok to walk back to the hotel. Riley and a friend even spoke on the phone after Riley was booted out of the bar, Riley saying he was going back to the hotel.

That’s terrible that they ignored you. That person may have been trying to get themselves to the hospital for help.
I don't really understand why some people smile while relating something that involves a tragedy. I've noticed this before...eg. a neighbor talking about what they saw on the street where someone was shot, or died in a fire, a witness talking about a fatal car accident they saw, etc. I find it so inappropriate. Is it a nervous reaction or what? Bugs me so much.MAR 15, 2024
[...]Luke Bryan's bar claims they only served Riley Strain one drink, search still ongoing
Nashville police and Luke Bryan's bar have been trying to cobble together the last moments anyone saw Riley Strain in downtown last week.
However, a local couple who say they just might have been the last people to see him.
James Webb and Erica Hart said they will now never forget the walk back to their car last Friday night.
[...]
It was a surveillance video that caught their eye because it was one of the last pieces of footage of missing University of Missouri student Riley Strain and they were also in the video.
“We were just walking kind of up and down Broadway, 1st, 2nd, 3rd (Avenues) just throughout the night, and we just walked down 1st, where we parked our car and during that period saw him. But didn't even know about it until she saw the headline yesterday,” said Webb.
James and Erica say they simply glanced at Riley and his behavior didn't seem unusual but said he headed north on Gay Street.
The couple contacted police and now hope by sharing this more people in the area can review their cameras.

Yeah, I see that and it’s definitely irksome. I’ve seen it alot in various interviews about tragedies, and it’s likely a nervous and embarrassed reaction. But it comes across badly.
My husband’s best friend and his girlfriend got roofied at a well-known bar in New Orleans. Very much seemed to be a set-up for them to be robbed on their way home to their hotel (their theory) but they realized what was happening and were able to get back safely before they got sick/passed out. They felt lucky- it came over them so quickly.
Says "...he purchased and was served one alcoholic drink and two waters." What was the drink?
I mentioned Portland in my last post as we have numerous people always walking around that are loaded on something or the other. Not only should you not approach them, but calling 911 would amount to squat. We can’t even get legitimate emergency calls answered. We had a case a month or two ago where they had to resort to moving a person with chest pains to the hospital on a city bus, because there were no ambulances available.
Nashville is a very busy town, especially the tourists. Not uncommon to see drunk people wandering cause most of the strip is bars. People likely didn't give it a seconds thought. And tourists that may have seen something are probably long gone & not seen the news cause I don't believe its made national news or if so not much.
