1775 Football

I'd agree with the judge's decision...if they use the damned sprogs AS the football

I'm going to assume the judge is a football fan, which would lead him to put a mindless sport over the welfare of two people who were disabled by teenage athletes. 'Cause, you know, football ALWAYS trumps everything else, including sentencing.

Gee, I'm sure those football players are really remorseful and learned a lesson - NOT! It would have been a much better and more effective punishment if they were forced to sit out the season. For dog's sake, they DISABLED two people - who will never walk again, much less play football!

I have to fully agree with what the poster said. The judge knew he was doing the wrong thing, but yet did it anyway.

Did anyone read this? One person stated that they have a chance for scholarship potential. To quote:

"Both Campbell and Howard are standout Kenton High School athletes, and their coaches and assistant principal testified at Tuesday’s hearing that the kids deserve to stay on the field. Their attorneys argued that both boys have scholarship potential, and said taking away their chance at a future that includes college would continue to send them in the wrong direction"

"To the attorneys and the courtroom in general, he added: 'Denying him an opportunity to play football and denying him an opportunity to go to college isn’t in any way going to help the victims in this case or help society.'"

These boys denied a good life and college from the victims. Sure, I do believe in giving people second chances, but not in cases like these, since the boys knew they were doing wrong in the first place.

That fucking idiot of a judge needs removed by the state legislature. NOW.

I was just going to post this, but I see someone beat me to it. This teaches so much to children doesn't it? Sure, go ahead and pull a prank that ruins two innocent lives, but the judicial system will let you off with a slap on the wrist because you play football. Not only that, but count on a full scholarship to college, even though you failed all your classes. Totally unbelievable! I hope the judge gets booted over this! IDIOT!

I don't know how it works in the US, but wouldn't it be great if colleges or universities denied them scholarships and they'd be treated like the criminals they are?

It's cases like these that make me wish I went to law school and became a prosecutor. I fucking hate how much leniency is given to children today. A 15 year old, who definitely knows better (Don't fucking tell me a 15 year old doesn't know it's wrong to kill people), blows the head off of some old guy minding his own business. Because he's a damn minor, he gets a slap on the wrist.

Have these punks shown any remorse for what they have done? What makes the judge think they can be rehibilitated by playing football. Why should their lives be saved when two others' have been ruined?

Yeah, me too. I'd be the most harsh prosecutor.

The playing football will make them even more aggressive, and of course they are not going to learn their lesson. They're just glad their getting off easy. Dog damn judge. He better burn in hell. Sorry waste of human flesh.

Hey Everybody!

Does anyone know if there's a child-free group in that state who can organize an effort to get that judge pulled off the bench?

I absolutly hate the whole jock/teamplayer/sport shit with a ever-lovin passion. This just adds right to it. Our values are so twisted in the US. I just saw on the Net today, the fucking New York Yankees are getting a 1 BILLON dollar statium!!! Housing is so expensive for so many and these shits are getting a new statium.

I'm sure there are No Kidding! chapters in Ohio, but they are a non-political childfree social group.

Whoa, I'm a Yankees fan and had NO idea they were getting a new stadium.
