dante3000 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 http://ncaafootball.fanhouse.com/2009/05/06/wheres-the-line-on-second-chances/ Not sure how I feel about this. It just seems like the kids has some "issues" that are bound to spring up later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtmanner Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 It definitely sounds like there are some issues there. It also sounds like the 17 year-old had a lot more to do with it than he did. Of course it doesn't mean that he's mentally sound, I just think a 13 year-old is pretty susceptible to the influence of an older teenager. I don't know, weird stuff.

I know the other dude seemed to have more to do with it and reading about it, it just sounds like some sort of weird prank that took a horrific turn. "Hey dude, let's get your cousin and tie her up." "Why?" "We'll blindfold her and pour kool-aid on her and say it's pee! It'll be soo funny" "HAHA, oh man, she'll be so embarrassed" "then we can duct tape her hands and stick the handle of a toilet plunger in her vagina!" "..." Who does that?

jesse Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 13 years old is way to old to be getting away with this shit. Think about yourself as a 13 year old, would you ever consider tying your cousin to a bed naked, and then raping her with a plunger? Or help someone else rape her with a plunger? The kid clearly doesn't have a learning disability. I don't see this as a practical joke gone wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vidvidalgo Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 In my opinion, what happened when he was 13 is irrelevant. A court heard the case and passed a verdict, and therefore, Daniel Hood shouldn't be held accountable by schools or the general public without regard to his trial. I'm not sure if he had to serve time for his crime or what, but either way he has paid his debt to society. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesse Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Hahaha, come on do you really believe that? This kid only got off easy because he was 13. Did you read the details of this? It's pretty reprehensible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew13 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 i did a ton of shit when i was 13 i couldn't believe i did now. when someone older you look up to is leading it on, you usually tend to follow. not sure about that far, but seems like the other kid could have had that idea all along and this one just followed along at first til it got out of hand.

dante3000 Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 I do agree that it's fucked up but it sounds much more like the older kid was running the show and he was just taking part. It doesn't excuse him but it doesn't seem like he's a violent psychopath. Still, it also sounds as if any issues he may have were minimally addressed, if addressed at all. The possibility of him doing something like this again doesn't seem altogether unlikely. The thing that bothers me the most is that if it was black kid (or any other marginalized group) he would never have received 1/2 the opportunities this kid has.

drabley Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Money makes the world go around. You're kidding yourself if it's about academics and character when the NCAA is involved. It's about what players give me the best chance to win. This doesn't surprise me at all. The NFL is full of thugs, so why not the Minor Leagues... I mean... the Colleges.
