Jalen Arrested for Scooter Accident

[Waquoit]

One game is plenty. Maybe one game and he doesn't start Tuesday.

But he can't because he is a student....

But if he were at UNC he could do plus get 3 credits for a drivers education course - some grad student would clean up the mess

Good news! Looking forward to putting this behind us

So who needed assistance? Didn't the other vehicle owner know his name? Was anyone injured? Did any witness ask for his name?

Really if they were on bikes, the bulk of the issue would be that he was dumb to put himself or teammates at risk, especially right before the season. Let's not make the kid out to be Dillenger. He had an error in judgement and sat out a game.

Moving on...

I think you're missing the point of my posts. I'm not making it out to be more than it is. I said early on I thought a one game suspension was fair.

Upstater can't seem to grasp the fact that he actually did something wrong. Even illegal.

All of your questions can't be answered because we don't know. But obviously the cops thought it was worth taking 4(?) witness statements and tracking him down and arresting him.

I made the mistake of trying to rationalize with someone who I know won't accept the most logical answer if he disagrees with it. He even asked what the law is in Massachusetts. Totally irrelevant unless you're interested in making excuses for the kid. Ignorance of the law is not a defense.

Again, it's over, one game and we can move on. I appreciate him being available to the press afterwords, I think he handled that well, and we can chalk it up as a learning experience.

So if I bump my car into my wife’s car, in the street in front of my house, we need to call the cops and stay there? This is really none of the government’s business in my opinion. I see debris in the road all the time. Jalen has paid his dues already here

LOL, that's a terrible analogy and a weak straw man. To answer your question, no, you wouldn't. But that isn't remotely close to what happened.

For the 3rd or 4th time (and since the beginning) one game was fair.

I got a good laugh out of this.

I personally will not be comfortable until Chief is transporting the players from point to point on campus. He exists for a reason and it'd be silly not to use it to our advantage.

LOL - I actually started to delude myself into thinking my pep talk worked after-all.

Triple-double would be nice to start the journey.....you.....can.....do it!!!!

This is a nothing charge. Prosecutor will probably offer plea to creating public disturbance which is an infraction and pay a fine.

Sit him first half and only play him in second half if we are in jeopardy of losing.

Kudos to me. I called it

Kudos to me. I called it

Did you really. He was in street clothes...He wasn't playing in the second half no matter what.

I was talking about the plea

Um, you missed that, too.
