Hold muh beer, and watch this ruling ...
I "see positive things about" removing a$$hole judges from the bench. I don't think the victims are going to be playing their favorite sports again EVER. But gosh, it would just be too harsh to keep these delinquent local football stars from playing for the rest of the season.
Oh deer!
If the judge didn't let the football players play, his high school football fantasy team would be worthless. - sarc
"Oh my, I see a deer, I guess I'll drive head on into this phone pole."
The judge must be a big fan of the local high school football team.
I like wrote the like 500-words essay for like you know these guys...Beavis and Butthead:
"Why I Should Think Before I Act."
And like I should think, you know, before I act, because like you know man, it’s like bad to act before you like think. I think acting before like thinking is like the wrong thing to do because it is like bad.
I think it is very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very bad because it is like really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really wrong. You know.
A judge decided two high school athletes can complete the football season this fall before they serve 60-day jail sentences for a car crash caused by a decoy deer placed in a country road. Two teens were injured.
Didn't anybody simply run the thing down?
"for a car crash caused by a decoy deer placed in a country road"
I have to laugh.
Golly, do jocks get away with things that would land normal people in prison? What a shock!
Ever notice who the press exalts football players and cheerleaders?
Headline: "Cheerleader killed in auto accident"
You never see "Math whiz killed in auto accident."
See this:

Or type "cheerleader killed" into google. Thousands of stories come up.
Hold muh deer alert...
These two jackasses should be made to pay for ALL the medical bills suffered as a result of their blatant stupidity, even if they spend the rest of their lives trying to pay those bills. And, in their spare time, they should do nursing duty for the injured people.
Because of the victims' lingering disabilities, Mary Roby said, it was especially hard for both families to listen as Juvenile Court Judge Gary McKinley approved special requests from three of the teenagers to play sports and attend athletic events.
"That bothers me a lot," Roby said. "This is just so awful. None of us, not one, should be in this situation."
Charged with felonious assault and vehicular vandalism and facing juvenile-delinquency counts of petty theft and criminal tools are: Dailyn Campbell, 15; Jesse Howard, 17; Joshua Lowe, 17; Corey Manns, 15; and Taylor Rogers, 17.
A Hardin County grand jury indicted them in February under Ohio's "serious youthful offender" law. That designation gives the judge the ability to create two sentences: one the teens would serve at a juvenile facility and one they could serve in an adult prison if they get into trouble again.
If the judge were to eventually impose an adult sentence, the maximum for all the charges would be 44 years.
Yesterday, McKinley agreed to let Campbell, Howard and Rogers lift weights together before school every morning.
He also granted Campbell permission to participate in track, and he said he may allow Rogers to play baseball once the season begins.
All of that was done over the objections of Hardin County Prosecutor Brad Bailey.
"We consider those luxuries, not necessities, and given the serious nature of these charges, we oppose it," he said.
Bailey asked for a 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. curfew for each of the teens. McKinley modified that request to 8 p.m., with allowances for work and the other activities.
Manns didn't enter his pleas yesterday because he must wait for a new judge, his third in the case.
The Ohio Supreme Court appointed McKinley, a retired Union County judge, to the cases after Hardin County Juvenile Court Judge James Rapp stepped off because he is acquainted with some of the families involved.
McKinley said yesterday that he knows Manns' grandfather, a Union County politician, so he, too, recused himself.
During the brief breaks yesterday between each teens' arraignment, the families of the two injured boys hugged and cried in the courtroom aisles.As the teens charged in her son's crash head off to weightlifting and track and baseball, Roby said, she must hire baby sitters for her 18-year-old son.
"I can't leave him home alone because he might fall," she said. "How is that fair?"
I guess this is a time when a civil lawsuit after the criminal trial would be a very good thing. (Unless of course they decide to sue the school district. No way the school is liable, but plaintiffs do tend to go after the deep pockets.)
60 days detention and an essay!! For breaking four bones of one person and braindamage to another!! Holy crap, I got that punishment for stealing a pack of smokes when I was a kid. Times have changed.
