College student left paralyzed after beating

Our prayers are with mike and his family.We wish
for the best to help Mike.Also the 3 that did this
should someday soon get it right back to them.They need to know how and what it feels like.
Can,t we walk anywhere or anytime without being
worried? Lets all support Mike and his family

To clear a few things up, I know the 3 men who assaulted the victim. Kevin Rowland was solely responsible for this tragedy, and if it wasn't for Michael Gunderman and Charlie Jordan who themselves would never hurt a fly, Bliss would of been dead. Gunderman and Jordan are straight edge college kids who aren't even in a fraternity. Charlie and Michael got themselves wrapped up in a mess for trying to get their friend off of Bliss. Don't get me wrong what happened was a tragedy, but Bliss was egging Kevin Rowland on and kept on provoking Rowland to the point that physical altercation was imminent. The one man who should pay is Kevin Rowland, the other two were innocent bystanders who did what anyone would do in the same situation of helping their friend, and tried to make him stop. My prayers are with all of the families, to the Bliss's and to the Gunderman's and Jordans.

Ok so what brought it on ??

was it gang related ?

no it was not gang related whatsoever and what brought it on was that Bliss was drunk out of his mind so was Rowland, Bliss kept on trying to fight Rowland and he completly lost control and in the end Jordan was trying to get him to stop and Gunderman needed to help Jordan to get him to stop... Same thing that goes on in every bar around the country unfortunatly

I stand behind the other anonymous post. I went to school with Charlie Jordan and Mike Gunderman. Nice, gentle guys. It was absolutely not gang related.

Thanks for the answer

that is what gangs do

Charlie and mike didn't do anything. if you believe the media and everything they are saying then i guess you believe in the easter bunny as well.

So I think it's interesting that this Kevin kid went crazy on Bliss and when two people try to stop Kevin they are seen as gang members, do you people honestly believe everything that is said on the news?

my brother is not a monster, he is not a fighter and I do not know why he would ever do anything like this . . . i do not know the full story at all but to all you people saying all this your wrong

Ya right. Wake up moron.

you guys say that those to didnt do anything. thats why hes left in icu paralized. my friend is a big kid and he could have taken that one kid how did he get knocked on the ground how was he getting kicked in the head and back and ribs at the same time. does the ONE kid have 3 legs. what gave those kids the right to kick when hes down and ruin his future. and then to have smerks during there mugshots and say there going to say there things to the officers in the police station. what gave them the right to do that. how lame do you have to be to kick when someone is face down on the ground. this last week has been the toughest thing for the whole family, sending there kid to college and getting a call that he was brutally beaten up. and seeing the look on his 8 year old sister who looks up to him. why why did this have to happen. these two kids your sticking up for know what that did and know that there not going to get off easy. there going to serve time no matter what. and i hope every day they sit in there they no how much they hurt the family. tell them they better not kick those guys in prison. Keep the PRAYS coming, thanks

No matter how people decide to cover the situation, the fact remain's you are the company that you keep. If a shoplifer lifts, and your with them, you are guilty as far as the law goes. If the convict all three a message would be sent out loud and clear. I advise that the parents take deep consideration into who are their children keeping company with. If they say so-n-so is a thief, or use to be in a gang, get your child away from that person no matter if the previous child is no longer gang banging. There are lot's of people to hang with than these poor excuses of a criminal mind and behavior. I hope the sentence can be reduced for the other two, but the fact remains they were participents and should be punished.

well unless your part of the jury it doesnt really matter what you say.

Get the soap on the rope ready. Big bubbas coming.

I find it hard to believe the police would arrest 2 people trying to "save" his life. If the other 2 didn't have anything to do with it, why wouldn't rowland, their roommate and "friend", clear them initially? it's not like his sentence would be any greater or lesser. To beat someone this severely is unimaginable... inhibited or not. How could anyone allow this to happen? Where were Mike's friends? From reports, his roommate was at the aftermath of the scene and was arrested for disorderly conduct.
My prayers are with the Bliss family.

Hey John Rowland - if this is what happened to your brother - he was severely beaten to being paralyzed - I'm sure you'd call the person who did it - a monster - and would want him punished. Your brother - ruined someones life - PARALYZED this kid - why, because he's tough?? people understand that fights happen - but to kick and stomp someone in the head while theyre down is not human!! He clearly has issues, drunk or not. He will go to jail, and I hope he stays there for a LONG time. And for the other two - they were clearly involved as well, reguardless of what their lawyer says. All three of them will be punished and hopefully will someday have remorse.

Learn the difference between there and their and they're. It strengthens your argument when you come across as an intelligent individual. Come to think of it, so does punctuation and spelling.

First off, being in a gang and "gang banging" are two entirely different things. Look it up. Also, these "kids" are in their 20's no parent has control over their "children" at this age.
Also, comparing this to shoplifting makes you look like a moron, so does calling this gang violence. It's a drunken bar fight.
