Some comments on Yahoo News regarding Mr. Hightower are pretty funny:

"He probably misunderstood when his coach told him he would be the
team's shooting guard."

"He'll be transferring to Georgia State....penitentiary."

"His NBA Draft projection was improved by about 30 spots, after his Grandma
assured NBA general manager that 'he was a good boy'."

"Hightower and the victim were probably fighting for a cubicle at the university
library when things got out of hand."

"I'm SURE they were arguing about the efficiency and feasibility of Tesla (AC) vs.
Edison (DC) in modern municipal grids. Who hasn't gotten a little bit heated
during that discussion?"
