That woman should be in prison.
💯pct she should be, that blood is on her hands and hers only!
❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️
Agreed that death is on her hands
She's a woman so doesn't get the same treatment us men get.
She’s a snake frfr
How she’s not in jail for accessory to murder is beyond me
Accessory??? Nooo she’s the mastermind behind the attempt. She should also face charges for the guy that got killed tbh she should be away for life
I think it would be conspiracy to commit murder but im not a lawyer
@@epugh0468 shit im not either so fck it, give her all the above ^^
She was given immunity by working with the state against him. But she can be held liable in a civil case by the deceased’s family.
It’s mind-boggling a grown a** woman can set this up and get immunity but the 14 y/o girl who set up a kid to be k*lled on a bus is deemed a threat and is locked up.
This is America.
Can we please get this guy a Emmy nomination for journalism. You are one of the best journalists in all of sports. Standing ovation for your work
I agree 1000 percent. He is my go-to guy for sports information/history. I feel he is one of the best in the business.
For real. Rather see him on ESPN then Stephen A
If any youtuber should win an emmy it should be flem. His research, formatting, and delivery of information is top notch. Plus hes fun to listen to
If anyone deserves another chance in the NFL, it’s this guy. Regardless of whether he does or doesn’t get another shot, I will be rooting for this guy’s success and his family’s well being.
Hope Dolphins give him a tryout. Just like Chosen...Come on home
@@cliffhooper3558 He's better than Chase Claypool and the Fins gave him a chance. This guy deserves a chance at the practice squad at least!
I’m glad he’s innocent!!! That women needs to be held accountable
yeah not happening. court system protects females no matter what
@@shinski8114he already free
@@shinski8114 he's free now
@@shinski8114 it won’t protect them one lawlessness begins and it’s gonna happen.. she’s fair game after that
She definitely should be sitting behind bars. 😤😤😤
Happy to hear he was found innocent. I really feel for this dude. Great story as always Flemlo.
Is the girlfriend facing jailtime?
@@JordTheeNordain’t nun gon happen to that dusty bitch you know this bruh 🤣🤣🤣🤣💀
@@JordTheeNordcmon you know the answer to that
Appreciate ya
@@JordTheeNord nope she should as she lead them that situation
Oh my gosh, the story about his Father was so heart breaking. Clear, 100% case of self-defense. Shouldn't have even been a trial.
I actually think it's one of the few cases of our justice system getting right. Someone died, but we found as close to the truth as we possibly could.
@@tylerblalack6684he spent a year in jail and a year on house arrest for clear cut self defense while on trial. He had no right being charged with murder whatsoever.
Ive never been more happy to see someone found innocent. This man is a prime example of calm under pressure. He's an amazing young man and i hope the most for him and his family
That woman needs to be held accountable for her actions. If she didn’t send that text this would have never happened.
Women and accountability look bizarre in the same sentence together. Government and trust is more fitting in a sentence than that lol.
@@brianallison1913 unfortunately, when it comes to damn near anything related to the world of law, that is far more often the case than not 😞
It's straightforward conspiracy. How this woman is not facing decades of felonies is mind numbing, this country is nuts.
@bjnt92281 Pure facts
You know women never take accountability for there actions that's kryptonite for women accountability
She said out her mouth she was married also said its Travis fault cause he didnt ask if she was. This is important to the story cause it lets you know the chick is a POS. She needs to go to jail to think about her actions.
I agree wholeheartedly ✊🏿
Absolutely.
She was going around moving like she was single, yet blamed Travis for assuming she was single?
100% correct
It's disgusting that she was given Criminal Immunity to attempt to railroad her victim.
this dude experienced some of the worst things you can imagine in a 5-6 year stretch and stayed solid through it all. great end to a story and amazing video to cover it🙏🏼
Beyond upsetting at what she did. Smh, they need to press charges against her!!!
The jury made the right call. Travis wasn't the criminal, the 3 thugs who tried to kill him and his brother are the criminals.
4*
Politicians want to criminalize SELF DEFENSE.
His brother ain’t do shit
No the women was. None of it would’ve happened if she didn’t send the text or as flemlo said the many hours she had to text them sayin not to go through with it and she was acting out of anger. In my opinion her getting people to pull up to someone’s house with guns and clearly violent intent that’s basically the equivalent to hiring a hit man. All of it very illegal
@@Rhapbus1it already has been in states like Maryland. If a criminal gets hurt in your house here, you are liable. Its wild.
How does this man not have 1 million+ subscribers? I don’t even pay attention to the NFL outside of my favorite team but and I still tune in every time a video drops.
Right, because I love this channel and encourage others to watch it.
Dude I saw this, I thought Flemlo was like a 2-3 million guy!
He needs to be way past 1 mil at this point.
amen bro
I know man it's unbelievable. He'll definitely get there. He's gonna be huge and it'll be great because we need more content creators like him. I honestly can't imagine anyone telling this story and many others better than FR does.
She needs to be held accountable she set this series of events off
He showed incredible discipline and judgment. God bless him. Doubt many people could show that level of discipline in that scenario. He picked his life and his brother’s. Un freaking believable coverage as always by Flem. Amazing.
I remember the story of him having lunch, with the special needs kid. I’m not a FSU fan, or follow them (not a conference opponent). But I definitely cheered for Rudolph for the rest of his career, and was shocked when the allegations came out. This video is far deeper than I was anticipating. Thank you, Flemlo.
i remember that story but didn’t know it was travis. glad he was found innocent
I agree with you. The only crime he had was going to Florida State University. I am a die-hard Florida Gator fan from South Florida lol!
Ya.. I'm sure ESPN just showed up and he's the special needs lunch lady
@@tacotom3492of ALL THE FOOTBALL PLAYERS THAT WENT, WHY WAS RUDOLPH THE ONLY ONE BY THE KID? Usually if it was a stunt many players would be by him. This kind of thing does not happen anywhere near as often you're trying to insinuate.
As a firearms instructor Travis did everything we teach especially saying he feared for his life and his brother and always used to stop the threat
💯
And he went and made sure the gun was secured soon after the threat was gone! Responsible gun owner!
Not to mention his lawyer giving him the aly-oop asking questions that lead him to explaining why he didn't shoot until he did and why he didn't keep shooting after to show the jury that he had great restraint and only fired when he felt he was in danger, and didn't use the firearm as retaliation for having a firearm drawn on him. Great coaching from the lawyer and great execution by him. Idk why people have been having to fight these clear self defense cases
Travis Rudolph ain't serving no life in prison
Kind of an underrated part of this story, but I love the way the defense attorney was handling Travis’s testimony. Asking as many questions as possible and trying to get every single detail out on the table, but still letting Travis speak and tell the whole story. A really good job of getting his client’s story and all the details of it out there without it sounding rehearsed or planned.
That lawyer pulled out a very clear and consistent testimony that fully outlined a legit self defense claim. I am shocked he was even charged with anything.
Unfortunately he was charged because he shot as they were driving away. I'm glad they found him not guilty.
I disagree he was charged because the lead detective did a terrible job in her investigation. She had the mindset of believe all women so she discriminated against him because she thought he was a woman beater.
Tell him.
He was the wrong color for the stand your ground laws to apply.
@@wlane2384 George Zimmerman chased a teenager and killed him in the same state
Bro is the embodiment of what a gun owner should be and how they should act! God bless this man and his family
Definitely, there’s a huge difference between him and the people lately who have been firing at anyone who steps foot on their property. I wish they could’ve watched this testimony before needlessly taking lives.
@@PizzaHutCEOyou see how insanely he was grilled in a STAND YOUR GROUND STATE, when there are people getting away with shooting people because they looked scary?
@@ghostwalker89 yeah it’s messed up. From what I have gathered, dude did everything right.
@@PizzaHutCEOExactly. Even Firearms instructors have been coming out of the woodwork saying that he did everything the right way.
I really can’t believe he even got charged
The man got threatened.
Gets jumped by multiple guys
Almost gets run over
Has two guns pointed at him
And when he finally defends himself and his brother then he’s a murderer
Holy shit
This man shouldn’t have even been charged.
This video literally made me sick
What a waste of our justice system
They should have charged that woman and the guys that survived
VERY VERY CLEAR THAT THIS WAS SELF DEFENSE
Man my heart go out to him because his story definitely deserves more attention for real a lot of people would be a lot worse in his position keep on keeping on trav ✊🏽
I love how he tells the story in positive light before it gets dark, he shows and gives the subject a chance to demonstrate better times before trouble.
Thanks for keeping it real...
That's why flem is one of the UA-cam goats. He shows the positive and the negative and preaches forgiveness and preaches about how people deserve a chance for redemption.
Man what absolutely blows my mind is that she sat her ass up there knowing full well she caused this whole damn mess. Not even seeming to care she effected multiple lives in such drastic ways putting this into motion. No remorse, no give a shit, just a smug look.
She's gonna be out here doing the same💩 if D.A. don't charge her.
to be fair we only saw a few clips, unless you watched the whole trial yourself who knows if she shows regret or not, that wasn’t relevant to the story of the video so we don’t know. she should still be held accountable legally for setting this off though no doubt
@@blakeandrews9496 you dont need to watch the entire trial. Her reaction to questions she was asked are all you need to know.
@@blakeandrews9496 i watched the whole trial nd she definitely didnt care about the carnage she left behind
@@blakeandrews9496 I concur
I feel so bad for travis..
That situation with the kid and lunch just shows the kind of person he is.. its so unbelievably sad😔
I would have done exactly the same. Hope he gets his life back to normal and becomes a role model to his family and community.
Bruh! You're supposed to be a sports guy, but your breakdown of why that was a justified self defense shooting was awesome! And yeah, tears when you talked about how he lost his dad... This kid has been through SO much. I pray things turn around for him.
Same , Man that was tough to hear …
It's crazy that they charged him and used State resources to ruin his life after being attacked -- this happens daily in the U.S
I honestly felt like I was watching forensic files listening to you describe this. You are so good
Man I love Flemlo, I been watching his stories since Summer of 2018, and when I say that he is the fairest person ever, I mean that! He analyzes the story from every perspective and gives EVERYONE The benefit of the doubt. Keep it up Lo!!
Man, what a wild story. Shout out to Travis Rudolph for persevering through tough times.
What he did with that little boy goes a Long way! He won in my book as a person for doing that! Happy Justice made the right decision on this one
Travis' good character couldn’t be questioned because of who he was out of the courtroom.
@@MattHues21💯
Ur a real one bro. I can tell u don’t do this JUST for clicks. I can tell u really wanna tell people’s stories. I appreciate that and appreciate u and wish there were more UA-camrs who did the same.
I remembered the story of him having lunch with the student. Also, thank you for telling the story detail for detail. Now Travis can go and be a productive man in society.
The absolute worst part of this story is…. Him having to stand trial for this BS! Wasting his time, money, and good name. The nerve of these Prosecutors!!!
What’s even worse is that they are allowed to do this with impunity. Never being reprimanded for bringing BS Cases.
Thanks Flemlo!!!! You are Awesome.
Why is it bs? 99% of the time these people are guilty and it's gang related. Can't just say oh he Said it's self defense and he's Innocent .get over it
@@edwardcapobianco2975 I believe why it’s B.S. (at least in my opinion). Is that they came to Him Looking for trouble.
Not sure what scenario you are imagining in the gang related situation.
I also understand other people may have a different opinion. However, I believe that someone has an Absolute right to defend themselves and their home from all people whom may want to cause them harm.
I just think we as a society have whittled down people’s rights to defend themselves to such a degree that we see scenarios like (Kyle Rittenhouse). Which was BLATANTLY self defense!!!!
Of course these are all just my thoughts and opinions, and you are absolutely free to disagree with them!
Thank you so much for your feedback and your thoughts.
they had video and text message evidence that she was the aggressor. Not hard to figure out. And gangs typically don’t go to your house after your gf just got into an argument with you. C’mon man, y’all gotta stop tryna play devils advocate before this situation happens to you or your brother or uncle or even father
@@YoungTCash I believe you are absolutely correct!
There was too much evidence of all the things going on, that bringing charges was complete BS!
I am completely uncomfortable with the DA’s always “Monday morning quarterbacking” what you “should” have done!
Most of them live in wealthy communities where there is little potential for anything like that to happen….. then they have the AUDACITY to punish the people trying to simply LIVE!
Simply charging people with a crime is a form of punishment! I just think we need to get back to less questioning of the victims motives and more scrutiny on the perpetrator’s actions!
Again my thoughts! But bet if you come to my house, late at night, with 3 other people, looking for problems…. You have a lower likelihood of survival as well!
I live in Texas! I am armed!
Thanks for your comment @youngTCash
We all know why it went to trial. Black man shoots other black men and this took place in Florida. If Travis Rudolph was white. There never would have been a trial
How she didn't get charged for putting on a hit is beyond me.
@Shadow I found you, faker!
She can get it knocked down to a misdemeanour by saying it was nothing more then a passing comment.
@@Andrewlang90 that only works when no attempted murder occurs, if your acquaintances try to shoot a dude after you uttered desth threats, good luck getting that knocked down to a misdemeanor
That’s the part i don’t get! They literally have evidence of her placing a hit and she is walking free like nothing happened
@Shadow_Speed_01 @WolfHunner I think you’re the fake hedgehog around here.
As a man I can see exactly how your thinking and knowing any of us could be caught up in this exact situation and why I love your content! Thank you and keep them coming, justice and peace for Travis Rudolph
Thank you for covering this story in its entirety.
The way you examine every angle, and give everyone the benefit of the doubt is amazing. I wish journalists put half the effort into their work that you put into your videos.
Great video! That District Attorney’s Office should be ashamed to charge this man with anything. I’ve always hated the idea that criminals (people with criminal intent to harm) can do whatever to you, but your defense must be measured unless you face prison time. Either way, I’m happy that this innocent man was cleared.
Fax, that makes no sense smh
That type of DA is what we call a headhunter.
Those who see defendants as scalps for them to collect...possibly for a Career in politics.
He’s innocent and handled a crazy situation like a beast 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. Self defense to the tee
Super happy for Travis!! Respect to him for protecting himself and his people.
i’m impressed with some of the structural changes you’ve made over the years. most notably to me, i think it’s brilliant to mix in “react segments” as sort of a different type of content that still adds to the video. simple ofc but it adds to the video and i think it’s creative
She MUST be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Her lies caused this entire tragic incident. SMDH! Her family should also shun her.
Nah she started this so she should be dealt with in the streets
And she should get deported and lose citizenship and sent to a island castaway style with no wilson
And we as society we need to teach our women if a man is done with you. He is done with you. No need in causing more harm. Have someone pick you and be done
Your content is some of the best on the internet man. So genuine it's refreshing. Always well thought-out, insightful, empathetic & informative. I almost feel guilty watching it all for free. Any reason you don't have a patreon or paid subscription? Or did I miss it? I'm sure it'd do great. Keep on doing you man. We appreciate it.
Thank you 🙏🏾. No patrion as of now, but I appreciate you just watching the content.
@@FlemLoRaps bro you REALLY need to set up a Patreon, you're missing out on a lot of potential support and revenue to help make even better content (which, given how good it already is, I don't think you'll have much trouble getting supporters right away).
@@FlemLoRaps you ever think about getting into politics or current events? Either directly or through commentary? I know it's not as exciting as sports, but you've got a unique way of explaining situations objectively and with compassion that I think would really work there.
I am so glad you reported on this and gave his full story. What his ex did was very wrong, and it cost her not only her relationship, but the lives of others. I think we all as people need to take a step back and realize that our actions can be devistating, even one angry text message can ruin the lives of many. I hope she has some kind of accountibility in the courts, but even if she doesn't, I truly hope that Travis is better now and recovers from all of the negative moments in his life and finds peace.
You're a great narrator/story teller my man, been appreciating you for years.
Damn man. I hope he enjoys the rest of his life, whatever he does with it. And I hope she faces consequences of some sort. Great story and good work man.
One of your best, FlemLo. The fact that the woman was never indicted is a travesty. At least Travis walks free.
What’s the difference between what she did and mob boss calling a hit? Nothing. She’s just a woman
Your videos are better than anything on ESPN. I agree that Travis showed so much restraint at his home where his family were chilling. Dude should of never been charged, charge the woman who put it in motion.
I been watching your videos for year and I just wanna say thank you for everything you have done . ❤ it’s amazing how far you become 🎉
The sister is the reason all of this happened. There needs to be a law put in place for people like her. She needs to be charged with causing all of this.
SOOO happy he was found innocent! Great story but super tragic story for this young man! Sending prayers for the Rudolph family!
What an excellent video. Thank you. My heart is broken for TR. He was a wonderful student athlete, and he deserved none of this. I hope he finds a way to make good out of something tragic. I'm so glad he had Dalvin at his side.
Flemlo, you did it again man. This is excellent commentary! I had the same thoughts about the stand your ground law when you mentioned it… unbelievable it even got to the point of him being charged for murder when this was all going down in FL at HIS residence!
An attorney named Legal Vices covered this trial live, glad you're also covering it. Absolutely wild. A deserved acquittal.
Prayers and thoughts to Travis and his family. I'm glad he was found not guilty... Hopefully he lands somewhere and flem can update this story with a more positive ending.
I just want to say God bless Travis in his brother and his mom. I hope they get through this. And I hope you have a great life. Also want to give my prayers to the guy who died in the guy who got shot. I know they did wrong but but I hate to see someone die so God bless them to
These kinds of stories are why FlemLo is the best!!
Man you were 1000% right on with your analogy of the situation. The jury thankfully got it right and i hope he gets another shot in football, whether it’s the nfl or cfl, xfl etc. I’m definitely rooting for him.
I agree, she should be in prison for solicitation of murder or intent to do extreme bodily harm. Travis should definitely file a civil suit against her.
FlemLo, kudos to you young blood! Your description and breakdown of so many videos and this one in particular is stellar! You have talent young Sir. Much appreciated!
Mad respect to this channel for its level of journalism. Very informative and well documented. I can dig it!!
I’ve been waiting on this one I know Flemlo don’t miss
He’s done this one before did h recreate it?
My boy FlemoLo went from Sports content to adding Murder Mystery content. A damn Legend! Beautifully video made!
Great reporting. Man you are one of the best reporter I've ever watch...
Thank you for sharing this, I never knew about this story and I'm glad that you shined the light on his life, you are an amazing guy and I love watching your videos and I love this guy, he was definitely being a responsible gun owner, like you said, professionals make mistakes too, I love this kid and if he gets a chance in either of the spring leagues please let us know, im definitely a fan of him now and I'm definitely a fan of yours, you have some awesome stories and that is why I watch you, may both of y'all have lots of success.
He definitely took that better than most people would. Awesome story brother.
Bruh you’re killing the game! You are deserving of a prime time show!
Great job by FlemLO escribing what happened. I didnt know all the details but i watched Travis play at FSU and knew enough about him to believe he didnt coimmit a crime. He was great on the stand. I also remember the accidental firearm discharge that killed his dad; this video helped me remember.
I'm 3 days late! 🏃🏾 Been waiting for you to cover this! Great work! Per usual... 🔥🔥🔥
This just proves that some people can see the facts as they are. It was clear to me that this was self defense and obviously the jury saw and heard the same thing. The lady involved will have to live with the fact that her actions resulted in someone losing their life because of her actions. Well done as usual Flemlo! 👍🏿😎
You know what, FlemLo, I absolutely love and respect highly you and the way you always seek to place value on life and on other people. You’re the man! You always have my love, respect, and support. This was an excellent video, bro. I’m so glad you take the time to do videos like this. This was so well put together. Thanks again, brother.
Great video. Glad the jurors saw the truth. Thanks for surfacing the whole story - front to back. So frequently we only hear of the violent acts, without the backstory. Thanks again.
Bro this is the best video I’ve seen and I’ve seen all of em! Keep doing ya thing bruv!
@FlemLo Raps, this is BY FAR the best "What happened to" video by you. Not only the order of the content, but your personal thoughts show empathy and critical judgement. Love it dude, absolutely love it!!
I get he wanted to end the situation and talk to those guys but man if your side piece says she will get you killed then 4-5 men show up DON’T GO OUTSIDE!! But I’m glad he was able to neutralize the threat and get off free.
I think it's very reasonable for a man to get the threat off his property of they're at the door in a threatening manner... When you look at all the circumstances surrounding the shooting, it wasn't murder.
Travis clearly wanted to talk this out. He was going to have to deal with her brother and his cohorts eventually or be looking over his shoulder every time he stepped outside.
Personally I’m calling the cops instead of answering the door but that’s just me
His brother had already went out and was arguing with the dudes. He woke up to the argument. He grabbed his shit put it by the door and came outside. He knows her brother. In his mind he probably thought he could talk with dude. They had a relationship. Once he went out it was a fight. Would you have left your brother outside?
@@metropcs1976 didn’t he say he woke up to them pounding on the door?
Great story. Told it like it was. I’m happy the way things turned out for Travis. His ex should be in jail for conspiracy to commit murder and premeditated assault. Again, awesome channel, great storytelling and loved every bit of it.
Thanks for the work on this
God be with this young man! If anyone needs a huge break it’s this man something truly great has gotta be in his future
Your commentary IS EVERYTHING!! The visuals in the story ON POINT AND FACTUAL !! You re-telling a story FREAKING FLAWLESS!!! Been watching you over 5 years APPLAUSE APPLAUSE FlemLo.
This soundtrack is on point!!! Great editing.
Great video thank you. You do an amazing job on all your videos. I enjoy your work thanks
I love this channel….there’s nothing like telling a story with nuance and deeper perspectives….much respect to you bro
facts
My man did what he supposed to do, i even think he held more restraint then most ppl in that situation would. He defended himself which is not only legal but our god given right. God Bless this man and hopefully he gains the strength to overcome.
Your new production
I pray that many blessings come this Brother's way. Keep up the great work Flemlo.
I've been subscribed for about two years now, I just felt the need to say that you're my favorite creator on the platform. You always portray these stories objectively but you never fail to take an empathetic approach to telling them. You have a gift man!!
Sounds like he did what most of us would do. Hope he can find a place on a team and move forward with his life.
Great video. This is an example of what can happen when you hang around with the wrong people even if you are basically a good guy.
Best video you made yet and you made some good ones props bro big props
Your one of my favorite creators of all time. Better breakdowns than tv reporters! Keep up the good work, look forward to every post. Thank you for sharing these powerful stories.
I haven't watched your videos in a long time my man and the quality of videos have always been super high and well respected to the people involved. I'm glad to hear he's innocent over defending himself. I feel for him going forward and hope that peace comes his way sooner than later
Great work as always.💯
Always nicely done brother
I dont wish bad on anyone, but its AMAZING and crazy how this woman did not get any time.
Don’t think you could’ve delivered this one any better. I was rived, perfectly narrated, U knew when to shut up and let the story play out in the courtroom. Totally agree with your take on this one. One of your best videos.
Your speaking for many, Sir... Thanks for the detailed news on this matter.
She should be held accountable, but b/c no money was exchanged, she’ll get off free. She won’t even get a slap on the wrist. It’s not considered a “hit” unless money was transferred. Great job Flem, keep up the awesome work!!! And to Travis, I hope success finds you. Watched you at FSU, you deserve another chance. 🤘
