His frat “brothers” are going to have to live with this the rest of their lives. With friend like this…who needs enemies.
Guarantee you, most of them do not care. Most are probably only worried about themselves and considering a lawyer
This happens all too often by young college students drinking! Never leave alone and don’t let your fellow students leave alone! Protect each other.
disappearance happens to students NOT drinking also. drinking isnt the factor here, sick criminals are. The nearby illegal homeless encampment is whats suspect to me.
Better idea, stop being stupid & quit drinking 🫢
OR OR DONT go to BROADway BROAD is the path to destruction many on it, NARROW is the way to eternal life few find it -Jesus
@@detwalker7874 No, it was about getting drunk. There's no proof of "sick criminals," in this case. Homeless are more likely to be victims than commit crimes. Stop watching Faux News
@@joelm4847 Jesus in the Lowe's parking lot? Not sure how much he can help
That poor family. Can’t even imagine.
Me either
🌹🌹🌹🙏🇺🇸
His fraternity 'bothers' had NO decency
One of them could have accompanied him & walked him back to hotel to make sure he is safe
..or they were impaired and therfore not thinking
Yeah, that whole "fraternity brother" thing is just a total joke.
Truth. I was in one, and despite superficial support there's much more instances of disregard and a lack of support
Those frat brothers know something
EXACTLY!!
Clearly he would have called home by now. My Condolences!
It’s bad enough that his fraternity brothers let him go off on his own in that condition… but then not person thought to check on him when they got back? Disgusting.
Well, the sign behind him says those homeless camps have 24 hour police camera surveillance. If that's true, there should be 7 days worth of video to pore through.
If he fell into the river, they should be looking much further downstream. You know.....there is a current.
@MimiVerbana
If the current is 4 mph, then every 24 hours he could be floating 96 miles a day. Over 7 days that's almost 700 miles.
Or they can sink or (oftentimes) wash ashore.
Friend’s don’t let friends walk away alone ❤
And bars shouldn't separate and isolate you out a back door alone and kick you out alone not caring what happens to you after they over serve you
@@ItisMeMike This is very true 👍
@@connie9302 yea. This is just sad. He's a kid. I'm not sure what happened. Why he was kicked out for being drunk. He's only 22 . I don't know if he was up set. Humiliated or what. But he looks very up set. Walking and was turning around to go back . But then turns around and continued the wrong direction of the hotel. Very sad . I do think they should have got him a ride to the hotel or made the group leave together or at least one. Alcohol can be very serious even though its a legal drug. He was so bad he was falling and they let him walk off like that. They cared enough to kick him out. But didn't care what happened to him. That's just cruel imo. He's not some older man, local town drunk that causes problems there. He's a very young man who obviously needed help after being over served and they threw him out like trash out the back door alone
Answers from the bar don’t seem to add up
@@ItisMeMike
Riley was NOT isolated from his so-called friends who were very aware that he was asked to leave. Riley was ONLY served one drink at this particular bar. Riley’s friend went with him to leave but then decided to stay, most likely because he was told by Management that if he left with Riley then he could NOT return back inside (most likely due to overcrowding). As a result his so-called friend decided to “remain” inside (to continue his fun) and “left” Riley to go ahead “ALONE” in his most vulnerable and dangerous (drunken) state of mind. STOP blaming the bar. They throw drunks out all the time in order to protect their own business establishment.
BTW, my 22-year old college son was thrown out the bar while I was there in-town celebrating with him. He was thrown out because he kept nodding off. I immediately left with him although it spoiled my evening. I then stressed to my son to NEVER get so drunk (or high) that you lose yourself (or your composure) to the point that you become dependent on others to be responsible for your safety or life! My son eventually STOPPED drinking!
i pray they find him so the family can get answers soon 😓
Then they need to start looking downriver
I’ve been checking multiple times a day on updates for Riley this is unbearable! I feel horrible for his family and friends. 😭🙏🙏🙏🙏
Why do you care so much to check for regular updates? People go missing all the time. Find a hobby.
@@wjb4578you are cold hearted. They didn't say they don't check on others as well. Why are you so hateful? It's their time what do you care.. maybe, YOU are the one that needs a hobby AND a heart!
@@wjb4578you’re a miserable person, why does it matter why? If you were missing wouldnt you want people to pray for you? Even strangers?
@@wjb4578why do you come here if your not interested in what’s being talked about? Go text yourself ❤ this is a missing young man
Oh and on behalf of those that love and search for him.. are you responsible for him being missing? Tell us how it happened
Anyone else see that big red sign behind him.....Monitored 24 hour police video?????
Praying that this young man come home to his mother I can't imagine how she's feeling
If he's found dead will you admit that your prayers are worthless?
@@chuckhunter77you're disgusting
I will admit you are going to hell just for your comments
@@chuckhunter77 troll
@@uy7munir Weird how you don't answer the question either.
I thought fraternity brothers look after each other, i guess not. With brothers like this who needs enemies.
Fraternities and Sororities are filled with FAKE people. Trust me I know. They are NOT your friends, sisters or brothers. Most of them are extremely ENVIOUS and JEALOUS of you.
Prayers for Riley Strain to be found alive & strength for his family
I'm heartbroken for this young man and his family as well as friends. May God comfort them.
Heartbreaking. That kid, alone, way past inebriation. Surely anxiety set in while Riley was walking around those unknown streets. Saddened this happened, I’ve been thinking about this young man’s situation all week.
me too
Even though his friend’s had to pay their bar tab one of them should have been allowed to go with him and then that person could have paid whoever back ‼️ he was visiting being intoxicated he may have gotten lost especially because he didn’t live there I blame the guy’s who kicked him out not allowing at least one friend to go outside with him plus they over served him they should have known just by that he should have had someone with him‼️‼️
Bouncers don't remember every single ID to know if someone is from TN or not. The responsibility of drinking and getting booted out is his fault. Why blame the business? Riley could've stood outside and waited on his friends? Js Accountability ...
He was drugged those where no frat brothers. Who leaves their brother to wonder a unknown city drunk and druged.
I think he was drugged and he either got snatched up or fell in the river
Happens all the time man
Wait, what? A group of frat boys turned out to not be decent people? Wow, what a shocker! Who could have seen that coming? 😮
Alcohol is a hell of a drug!!!
@wadethompson2735 yeah but this kid obviously has some type of royalty blood that's why they're making it a big ordeal..
maybe he's like the son of a king in Europe
0r he was supposed to be like the next chosen president .. ?
I cant believe that these poor parents have to be the ones to search and possibly find their son either very seriously injured or even worse deceased. Very , very sad.😔
sorry but all the cities resources are being allocated to care for illegals XD
I hope this man, this father finds his baby…. the kid’s “friends” are real pieces of work
One drink will not make a person that intoxicated. Did someone drug him? Was he taking medication? Did the club tell the truth? What do the friends say regarding his consumption? And what was his unacceptable behavior he was asked to leave for?
Heartbreaking for his parents if they saw the video of him staggering and walking bent over!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I would of thought if he was that drunk, the people who threw him out would of called a cab. Seems irresponsible of the bar.
He was with his fellow frat boys . One of them chould have walked out with him but instead blaming the establishment saying they wouldn't leave with him . I wouldn't put it past them to be laughing as he was beening thrown out .
Every adult is responsible for themselves. 'It's always someone else's fault' is a mass mentality that is failing.
I’ve been drunk with friends at bars, clubs. There is always 1 person who doesn’t drink and watches out for us. I’ve had to hold my friends hand just to get them to the car safe. Do not just leave a friend to walk alone.
It's always some one eles is to blame
@@LCx829 maybe you should stop doing that if you that’s dangerous wild
I live literally next to city hall and the river. There are SO many unhinged crazy homeless men hanging out right here it’s nuts . No cops. Ever
And yet with all their drug abuse and alcoholism, you never hear about deceased homeless being found in the Cumberland River. Which makes it even more odd if this poor man is found there.
Someone on here said the same thing that Nashville is full or criminal homeless and that crime is happening at all times at night. Real crazy stuff.
The Cumberland is steep and slippery at the bank, and it is a fast deep and wide river. If he was intoxicated and visiting, he may have gotten too close to the edge and fallen in.
Yesterday in RUclips Channel: "The Pascal Show Clips", a lady named Sabrina said she works in a homeless shelter, and saw a homeless man wearing the shirt that Riley was wearing the nigth he disappeard. She said that the shirt was so clean . She called to a police line that is on the Big hoardings or announces on top buildings. (Just in case It could help).
It’s been debunked. It wasn’t his shirt they say ,
The bar mishandled this situation! Period! I’m praying for the family! This is absolutely heartbreaking!
Calm down. People get kicked out of bars everyday. He's an adult and should've known his limit.
Na, his friends could have helped him. That is how it is when you're a male in your early 20s people don't care how rough shape you get in no one looks out for you.
@@freee002 yea I was about to say I've been kicked out of places drunk dozens of times, rightly so. Never thought to blame other people for my poor decisions. I was lucky nothing too bad, not this bad at least, happened to me. I had God to thank for that. But yea this was unfortunate. Stay sober and vigilant!
Agreed. They over served him to the point that he couldn’t walk and then kicked him out.
No, they didn't. It's their job to cut drunk people off. It's not their responsibility what that person does after they've been cut off! What about Riley's so-called friends who let him leave the bar all alone when he was clearly extremely intoxicated???
Prayers up to and for this young man, and his family.
Ya know who really screwed up?? His friends for godsakes. Why wouldn't they leave with him?
Actually, it's the server and bartenders who allowed the kids to get that fucked up.
@@BOMBSHELLRELOADED2 100%.
I can't wait for the family to sue the bar that "over served" him and then kicked him out, putting him at risk. If he was THAT intoxicated they had to kick him out, why not call the police or ask his friends to put him in an uber.
He was a beanpole. And couldn’t handle his liquor. He likely went ok to hammered on his next drink.
@@oldironsides4107that’s the dumbest reply. Makes no sense.
You do know that that bar is also a restaurant? Look up Luke Byran's 32 Bridge .
Right!
@@mermaid-n-a-wineglass3689
He has no tolerance to alcohol. Many People get wasted with just one shot or drink.
It makes perfect sense if you partied when you were young
Luke Bryant's Bar is IN TROUBLE - to serve a man to that condition then kick him out???? NOT GOOD
Luke Bryan
I agree!
Agree pretty bad! Why can't they call a car???? Pretty sure they have the $$$$
Was he 21 yet? 😢
In the videos, he looks like something was wrong with him. He was sort of bobbing his head like if he was probably trying to get to where he was going and looked a bit disoriented.😢
Praying he will come home safe.
It is so hard knowing where he went with friends, but now
don't know where he is.
KIDS PLEASE, ALWAYS STAY TOGETHER!
NEVER EVER LET ANYONE LEAVE ON THEIR OWN.
NEVER!!!
Thinking of Riley and his family. 🙏❤️
Prayering for resolution for this family ❤
Sending Prayers 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Was kicked out while he was told he was overserved, bouncers knew he wasn't in any shape to find his way in unfamiliar town...Tragic.
Hopefully the homeless people can give them some help.
Did the Falcons know that he was unfamiliar with this town? How do you even know that?
You can always count on the homeless for accurate information.
@@sammyday3341 well, let's hope....not likely, if anything like the homeless in Portland Oregon
@@SharonBenson2674 funny
Nashville is such a beautiful city.
Prayers 🙏🏻
With a 16-hour delay between the disappearance and reporting the guy as missing, his body could have traveled 30 or more miles downstream in the Cumberland River at that point. In fact, he could be in the Ohio River by now.
oh my-- may never be found
The perils of excess alcohol 🤦🏽♀️ can be downright evil. 🙏🏽 Prayers for your miracle.
Prayers
I will pray for you. I hope you find him safe.🙏
So much for fraternity brotherhood
Why aren’t these college students aware of the danger they are in when they are partying in areas they are not familiar with? I just can’t understand why they can’t stay in groups for safety.
Luke Bryan's 32 Bridge is a Bar and Restaurant with live music . It's not some run down honky tonk bar .
My daughter is about to go to college and i tell her everyday to be careful. But we were all young and un experienced at one time
What if someone picked him up in a car or forced him into a car? Why are they so sure that didn't happen?
I think when he fell he hit his head. The footage of hi. Walking beside the building looks like he is holding his forehead... I think when he fell he got a concussion and that added to his confusion and disorienting state. Praying for a Miracle and for his family. Praying God will guide those searching for him and they will find him. In Jesus Name.
They need to check down river. However long it’d take a person to float in a day since his friends didn’t report him for 16 hours. Maybe the family should offer a reward just in case he’s hurt & someone is taking care of him. Even offer a reward for the recovery of Riley so more people help search for him! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I’ve been following Riley’s journey … with thoughts and prayers for him and his family and the recovery team’s. 🙏🙏🙏✌️✌️✌️✌️💜💜💜💜🇺🇸🇺🇸
My heart hurts for his family. Praying for his safe return🙏💙
Prayers for the the family of Family of Riley and that he he will be Found!
I hope the homeless helped him and did not harm him.
He'll show up in the river but not soon and in an area that was already searched. Happening in Chicago too.
A homeless guy showed up to a feed wearing his brand new shirt so he must be in the river. The current is strong there.
Buddy system for all~ male or female, young or old! Especially if on foot in an unfamiliar area. Prayers!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏
Something is very suspicious about this...makes no sense! Should hold the bartender responsible for neglecting proper procedure. Luke Bryan could be sued as well...🙏🏻
Did the bartender tell Riley to walk away from the bar before his friends could rejoin him?
Really! Jump to conclusions much. He probably drank before going to Luke's bar. He only had o e drink.
Why was Riley asked to leave?
Yes, agree...Prayers 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Praying that they find him 🙏
Anything can be possible, but I’m hoping for the best outcome for Riley that he’s found safe and can be back to his family again soon! The poor family praying for them🙏🏻
Why is only on TT account showing the video of him having a scuffle in front of a white truck before he ran to the sign and hit his head? Tons of men have been robbed and given something at bars it’s all over the net! Who was he scuffling with!
TT ?
Sad part is they are only going this hard because it was Luke's bar. 😢 My heart aches for them . 💔
I don’t think that’s the reason. This is young man authorities will take care of this whether it’s Luke’s bar or not.
@SharonBenson2674 The searching is intensifying for this young man ... yet the Sébastien Roger's search has been scaled way back. 🤔
Has a dive team searched the river?
I can't believe his fraternity "brothers" let him leave the bar unaccompanied in the condition he was in. They should be ashamed.
Riley’s friend(s) was very aware that he was asked to leave by Management. Riley was ONLY served one(1) drink at this particular bar. Riley’s friend went with him to leave but then decided to stay, most likely because he was told by Management that if he left with Riley then he could NOT return back inside (most likely due to overcrowding). As a result his so-called friend decided to “remain” inside (to continue his fun) and “left” Riley to go ahead “ALONE” in his most vulnerable and dangerous (drunken) state of mind. STOP blaming the bar. They throw drunks out all the time in order to protect their own business establishment.
BTW, my 22-year old college son was thrown out the bar while I was there in-town celebrating with him. He was thrown out because he kept nodding off. I immediately left with him although it spoiled my evening. I then stressed to my son to NEVER get so drunk (or high) that you lose yourself, or your composure to the point that you become dependent on others to be responsible for your safety or life! My son eventually STOPPED drinking!
I pray for Riley’s family.
Someone from Nashville on RUclips said that the city is full of crime non stop at night time sounds dangerous to be in that city.
Heartbreaking 💔 😢 In my military days we always had to use the buddy system no if ands or but. Prayers, comfort and healing for family, friends classmates ❤
sign right behind father say that the area has 24 hr surveillance, so what is the problem?
I think Riley is near construction and water. He's Covered.. just listened alot from the very beginning, if I was in his shoes, would've looked for shelter after falling, mat have a concussion, he was hurt, he was really struggling, plus was already overserved or drink was spiced. Point is, he was exhausted and hurt. Maybe cold, being covered in a strange area, he had no idea where he was, it's dark, cover feels safe or secure maybe because he feels so lost and confused also.
That's possible 😢
Source?
Covered?
He was scuffling with someone before he ran and hit that sign. Why aren’t they showing that footage!? It’s on TT! Doing time with Lindsey is the only one showing it
@@tula1433sorry that’s the name of the RUclips channel? I couldn’t find it
So tragic
Put that bar in check they should of gotten him a ride and let a friend go with him for safety! He could of been drugged without his knowledge.
Why would someone in the bar stop a friend from leaving to go help him? That is odd to me. Not being allowed to leave....
The boys from that fraternity FAILED HIM. YOU COME TOGETHER, YOU STAY TOGETHER!
It's OBVIOUS HE WAS SERVED TO MUCH LIQUOR, EHY RLSE WOULD THEY HAVE PUT HIM OUT OF THE BAR. THATS BS. The video footage of the bar should have been obtained immediately, THEY HAVE ERRASED IT BY NOW.
ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO PASSED HIM IN THE STREET FAILED HIM. It was obvious this young man was in a bad way, SOMEONE SHOULD HAVE APPROACHED HIM AND ASK IF HE WAS OK?
DEAR GOD, PLEAAAASSEEE, Help them find your child safe and unharmed. PLEASE GOD😢
Damn! This is horrible
The sign right over the left shoulder of Riley's father says "Area Monitored 24 Hour Police Video Camera." So how would that not have picked up anything that could have occurred to Riley in that area? Prayers🙏for Riley❤to be located alive and well asap.
There should have that river investigated from the BEGINNING!
"Is he with a homeless person who's taking care of him?"
HOMELESS PERSON _TAKING_ _CARE_ _OF_ _HIM_ ?!?!?!?!?
That's NOT what homeless people do.
Praying you find him and he is ok😮 one drink doesnt do that much harm. He looked drugged.
Do they have any dogs searching?
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
This is Tragic!
So tragic! Off for a fun filled wkend & possibly will never come back😢
A Nashville fireman told me a couple of years ago there is a community that lives in the sewage storm drain system complete with a heigharchy and two different warring factions with brutal leaders. They fight with machetes and axes and hack up each other all the time. Him being cared for by the homeless is the best scenario for him being alive at this point.
Listen kids. Its ok to quit young. You don't have to go through years of partying before you grow up and quit. You're not missing the best years of your life if you quit partying young.
I believe he went into the river someway, praying for a safe return.......
Those are not friends. Hope they feel guilty forever.
Way to be strong fam. Hang in there. Keep it up. You all are is voice, let this spread like wildfire.
I can’t imagine the anguish.
He’s 6’7 how could they have not found him yet? He has to have been put in a vehicle and taken somewhere much further.
😢
Did I hear right, the frat brothers didn't call 911 till the next day?
I'm a bartender and I would have not served him if he was that messed up and would call him a cab , the bartender should have called a cab , this is sad , 1 call to a cab that's all you have to do how hard is that
Alcohol. Be careful with it.
Sadly I fear a homeless person harmed this young man 😢
Probably took his shirt and money and pushed him in the water.
Reminds us of an Ohio State University Medical student whose story was similar. They never found him after being in the Ugly Tuna restaurant across from campus.
Same thing here with a 18 year old Michigan State University student they found him under a pile of debris in the Lansing river in 2022 very suspicious too.
I hope he’s ok
,🙏🙏🙏
Why did the bar over serve him, then kicked him out of bar? Why did all his friends desert him? Head injury? Foul play?
He could easily have decided to sleep it off. Inside ir outside.
Stay hopeful!
One drink and two waters does not make you drunk enough to be ejected from a bar!
Bet he fell in that lake/river behind him
Its the Cumberland River nits.
@@kbrewski1
Nits?
That still doesn’t answer as to why he was headed in the opposite direction of his hotel and towards the bridge & river, when his hotel is walking distance from the bar.
@str8904
He was plastered, confused and further disoriented when he hit his head and fell.
See something say something.
