Party bus-stop...

#1.4 Night Shift on 09/14/11 at 07:37 PM

Party bus for Gordon students to go to clubs in Atlanta and Griffin every thursday.One of the buses is sponsered by a local convicted Felon something bad is going to happen to these people children from riding a bus to Griffin and Atlanta.I have watched them buy liquor for their little "field trips" and I have also watched them walking back to campus sloppy drunk from the trips.

I have also saw the same thing.I have wondered to myself why does the Barneesville police and Lamar County Sheriff's department have not did something about this, but then I remember as long as the good ol boy gets a check on the side they are happy.It is illegal to have open containers on buses as well as cars but they dont care.

#1.4.1.1 Anonymous on 09/14/11 at 09:09 PM

Well this needs to be stopped ASAP. I guarantee you that 99.9% of the kids on the bus are under 21 and drinking illegally. PUT a stop to this no matter who is running the party bus!!!

Before you start running at the mouth again and making false accusations maybe you should learn a little about the Law. Quit hanging on the wrong shirt tails and maybe you will get off this kick of the "good ol boys". Just because you live a miserable life does not mean you have to make up all these lies. You are just a miserable person! You need to get out and make some real friends instead of hanging on the shirt tails of the ones who just tag you along because they feel sorry for you.

"these people children" are grown up adults who should have been raised to behave responsibly when the time came for them to go off to college.

The Barnesville PD and Sheriff's Dept don't have time to chase these idiots to Atlanta to stop their party bus for having open containers on the bus. I say it's a good thing that they are leaving Barnesville to go clubbing. Maybe all of the Crow's Nest patrons will soon board the bus and leave town along with them.

Some people don't have anything better to do than bash the police dept. and sheriff's dept. If you can do better, run for the office of Sheriff yourself and/or apply to the city for a position on the police force.

Why is it okay to let 18 year old college students drink and not get in trouble for it.If the police would do their job they could lock these students up and bring more money to the county and city by doing so.Also what does the Crows Nest has to do with this? That club has been here for years and is not going anywhere no matter how much you think you know about it.And these students come back to the Roses and get in their cars and drive home drunk.

I have a life, thank you very much. My life does not include being overly concerned with a buch of ADULTS who chose to get on a chartered bus and go clubbing in Alanta. I do not see where this is a problem the city of Barnesville police should be overly concerned about either. In my opinon, no crime has occurred unless and until the patrons of the bus get back to town and drive drunk or otherwise break the law.

College kids like to party. Big deal. It's a right of passage and the largest majority will partake in the partying. Even those kids who were raised in "good" homes will likely attend a party or club during their college years. I simply don't see the crime in this. I did it, enjoyed that time in my life, turned out to be responsible and successful and am now a 50 year old adult with college aged kids of my own. I sure hope the old geezers in the cities my kids go to college in have better things to do than worry about what the college kids are doing.

THE WHOLE POINT IS THAT THESE STUDENTS RETURN TO BARNESVILLE DRUNK AND DRIVE BACK HOME! THIS IS NOT A SCHOOL BUS SO IT DOES NOT TAKE THEM HOME!!IT JUST TAKES THEM TO ROSES!

#1.4.2.1.1.1.1 Anonymous on 09/16/11 at 05:10 PM

Instead of crying why not be a solution to the problem and volunteer your time to give them a ride home.

#1.4.2.1.1.1.2 Anonymous on 09/16/11 at 07:26 PM

My point is you want the police to get involved BEFORE a crime has been committed. Yippee if they arrest the partygoers for drunk driving after they return to Barnesville and get into their card and drive home under the influence. People need to mind their own business and stop looking to create a problem for other people who are not breaking the law by boarding a bus and going to Atlanta to a club. Stop ASSUMING that all the partygoers are going to drive drunk. How do you know they don't have designated drivers? If they don't, then they risk getting a DUI by the police AFTER they have committed the crime.

Why would you want to wait until a crime has been made? The crime could lead to the death of a person or even a child..There could be a loving mother getting off of work and get hit by these drunk idiots.Or a mother rushing to her parents house because her mom has gotten sick in the middle of the night with her kids in the back seat and BOOM one of these drunk college students hit them and kill everyone in the car instantly!

#1.4.2.1.1.1.2.1.1 Anonymous on 09/17/11 at 12:55 AM

I understand that the people on the bus COULD drive drunk and kill someone. The people leaving tonight's street dance COULD drive drunk and kill someone. Anyone who goes to eat dinner at El Durango and has a few drinks COULD drive drunk and kill someone. Anyone going to a Superbowl party and drinks a few beers COULD drive drunk and kill someone. Should the police target these events and establishments and shut them down because the ASSUMPTION is people are going to drive drunk afterward? No, because to do so infringes on people's rights and borders on harassment. I do not advocate driving drunk or otherwise breaking the law. I also don't advocate for police or busy bodies like yourself sticking their noses into the lives of other citizens because they THINK someone may do something wrong.

I am ashamed to get on here and see arguments like this.But im going to have to agree that the buses need to be stopped.I bet the same people that are for the bus is the main ones that was compllaing about the Crows Nest and what COULD be going on there but have never been in there a day in their life.So if you are going to complain about the Crows Nest then you should definetely not like this.

Do you think you can arrest someone before a crime has been committed? That would be awesome! What a lot of problems that would solve....to bad its NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN! You are stupid for even posting that nonsense.

It would be better if the list was always blank. Let's be serious and think positive.

At least they are not drinking and driving. As long as the bus driver is sober...let them have their fun.

#6 Anonymous on 09/16/11 at 06:19 AM

Sounds like this bus keeps people from drinking and driving so it sounds like a good thing to me. And if it is a party bus they are legally allowed to serve alcohol on it. As far as the drinking under age goes,no one has provided any evidence that suggest that.

#7 Anonymous on 09/16/11 at 03:45 PM

who is the one making sure the people who drive from roses back to the college or where ever they may stay in barnesville or surrounding are get home safe? i am 25 and have kids. if i were to happen to be driving thru town at the time one of these drunk drivers were on the road and got into an accident, who's gonna think it's okay to let the college kids have their fun? when they kill someone is it okay to let them have their fun? NO BECAUSE DRINKING AND DRIVING IS ILLEGAL AND SHOULD BE STOPPED. OPEN CONTAINER IS ALSO ILLEGAL. IT SHOULDN'T MATTER WHO IS DRUNK IN A MOVING VEHICLE. IF ALCOHOL IS BEING CONSUMED IN A MOVING VEHICLE SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT IT.

#7.1 Anonymous on 09/17/11 at 01:08 AM

have you been on the bus? how do you know there are open containers on the bus? Heresay or eye witness? Heresay is nothing more than gossip! If you are eye witness to open containers on the bus, then you must be guilty of being on the bus. If that's the case, then let the police start their arrests with you.

#7.2 Anonymous on 09/17/11 at 05:07 AM

It's a bus. The open container law does not apply to a bus. Also these people are responsible enough to let someone else drive, so what's the problem?

#7.3 Anonymous on 09/17/11 at 07:00 AM

I go to Georgia/Florida game every year and everyone is drunk on the bus from St Simons to Jacksonville and back. Go DAWGS!

the "Dawgs" loss should sober you up.....lol

#7.4 Anonymous on 09/20/11 at 12:49 PM

You are an idiot. Why dont you go hang out at Roses waiting on the party bus to come back into town. Make sure you trample on all of their rights by demanding they take a breathalizer test. Guess what...you cant do that. Its discrimination....its profiling...blah blah blah. Anyway, I heard there is going to be a party in town this week. Should I call the police and have them test everyone as they come in and out of the house?
