If an ex-boyfriend or girlfriend has stolen or will not release your property, you call the police to retrieve it. You don’t break into an apartment, trespass or forcibly enter the premises and take it back. Could lead to a potential assault charge, unclear if any weapons were displayed in process, any threats made, .. Now kid has lost his scholarship.
It wasn't even his situation. It was the female's ex-boyfriend. Incredibly poor judgment all around. At least no one was physically injured.
Seriously, this is what OJ was actually in prison for. Attempting to take back his own things by force and one of those with him had a gun.
I don’t know when the indifference our media, courts and schools show to bad behavior began in our our country, but it has led to accepting and even embracing things that were completely unacceptable a few decades ago. For instance: If a group of protesters decide to destroy other’s property, start fires in the street, curse law enforcement officers, etc, etc, they should be dealt with and the consequences should be significant. Just my opinion of course. As Wanne15 suggested, a good caning might be in order.
I bet that American kid who got caned in Indonesia for breaking mirrors off of cars learned his lesson. He probably doesn't even adjust the mirrors on his car, now.
There are over 10,000 D1 student athletes and we only hear about a handful (like this idiot) making poor decisions and getting into trouble with the law, which means that the overwhelming majority are good, law-abiding student-athletes. I’ll choose to look at the bright side of things and not the doom and gloom, “what’s wrong with American society?” approach.
It’s not students or athletes, it’s society as a whole. There’s no bright side to the crime rate in our country.
If you don't recognize that there is a societal issue in America with the hate and violence that we are experiencing in this era, then you just don't want to. The chronic shootings, alone, in clubs, schools, malls etc. that occur on a regular basis are enough to show that there's something wrong.
A knucklehead college athlete breaking into a house is just a knucklehead college athlete breaking into a house, I don't jump straight to rationalizing it as "There's a problem with American society." To each his own, I guess.
He had a gun, not a simple break in. This isn’t kids will be kids. That’s pretty bad shit and if you don’t think it’s a big deal, that’s the part of society that we are talking about being broken
