There were also a set of comments in support of Alvin Kamara as they wanted his side of the story to also come with a comment saying “Let’s wait for the full story before we rush to conclusions. But for real most don’t understand because most are keyboard warriors. You gotta whip some ass to protect yourself sometimes”

Another comment defending Alvin Kamara read “What did the investigation entail? Just someone at the hospital saying it was Alvin Kamara? Maybe the assailant was just someone who looked like Kamara, & the intoxicated victim made an assumption, or trying to get $$? We need more information before jumping to any conclusions”
