Agree with everything you said.BBM
They may have had drinks before they left the hotel. We don't know. But the group also went to 4 bars-- RS had one alcoholic drink at the last bar--- Luke's. We know about the other bars from his family who have accessed his bank acct. I don't think we know how many alcoholic drinks he had in the other 3 bars. We do know RS face-timed with his mom at a bar earlier (before Luke's) around 7:30-8 pm. We also know he texted his mom about an alcoholic drink that "tasted funny, like barbeque" at one point. But according to the family, that wasn't while he was at Luke's. All those facts came out in the NewsNation appearance linked above (except for the face-timing. That was reported early on during the search.)
The other students may be worried they'll be blamed-- and they are probably right to worry. To some extent, they ARE being blamed. But RS was an adult. He was 22, probably one of the older people in the group. No one was forcing him to drink. And if the family can track where he went during the evening from looking at his bank acct, no one in the group was "giving him" those drinks.
MOO
What got me “in the feels” was the part of them going to their formal the following night while the parents were searching, and they saw them.
Honestly, if those kids stayed and searched, I don’t think the family would be questioning them as much as they are.
I think it’s the lack of social grace and perceived lack of empathy for their roommate that just gives me a bad ick.
I get that they are frat boys, but there should be some basic modicum of decorum.
