Damn if they get kicked out of the school there goes their careers in aerospace!

Hate when that happens to potential aspiring rocket scientists ...

If reading Ct. statues correctly, anyone 15 years or older at time of commission of certain felonies (not sure what this would be called) may be transferred and tried in criminal court (vs. juvenile court). So in the eyes of Ct. criminal justice system 2 of the 3 at least can be legally considered to be tried as adults if so determined by the appropriate judge.

The kids aren’t being charged with the felonies referenced in the statute. They will remain in juvenile court.

A bad decision is a speeding ticket or getting caught with a beer or trying to bring a cow on the school bus or ordering Domino’s.

These are things where you can throw up your hands and exclaim, “Kids!”

Three kids jumping a guy in a parking lot and putting him in the hospital is not a bad decision.

 

[Scoe]

Don't wanna hear the excuse oh their just kids this is a criminal mentality and it is alarming. Kids should be penalized severely and be rehabilitated. What happened to just egging the guys car or even slashing his tires not saying it's right but it's way better then assault and battery which can also lead to murder.

No but it shouldn't ruin the rest of their life

Maybe! I will admit I don't know the circumstances other than what I read. However, ths man could have (maybe has been) seriously injured and damaged for the rest of HIS LIFE. What I do know, is that assaulting someone is never justified and,if that wasn't bad enough, having three punks join in the attack and sucker punching the coach from behind only tells you more about these morons. I don't wanna hear about what the coach may have done. If he did something grievable, take it to school officials or police. But if you are gonna "take matters into your own hands", then be a man and confront this guy "face to face" and "mano y mano". Let the victim decide what should happen to these wanna be gangsters.

They're kids.

You're a joke. Standing up for kids who sucker punch and kick a man on the ground. Disgusting

I'm standing up for no one. I'm waiting to hear the facts before I judge anyone

There are some terrible people out there coaching HS sports for all the wrong reasons.

Principals and ADs can be useless. There was a coach in my HS who did more than enough to be fired but he was friends with the AD and he protected him. No one ever attacked him but I wouldn't blame anyone if they had

They're kids.

 

[JMick]

And? What's your point? I said there's likely a reason, waiting to see what that reason was.

 

[Jerry1714]

And? What's your point? I said there's likely a reason, waiting to see what that reason was.

Exactly. I stand by my response. You're a joke.

 

[JMick]

Oh piss off. Are you the one they beat up? I can definitely see why, now

how is it going to ruin the rest of their lives??? they are juveniles the record will be sealed once they turn 18.

 

[ZOOCONN]

yea totally the coach may have said something so he totally deserved to get sucker punched, kicked, his head stomped on and SENT TO THE FREAKIN HOSPITAL. what is wrong with you people.

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

Possibly, but the juvenile pugilists and kick boxers may need to avoid getting arrested. Past performance may not be a guarantee of future results, but will these aspiring rocket scientists sail clean for a few years? TBD!

Keep this thread going.

Sorry but as a teen I never attacked my coach. I did stupid things, but attacking my coaches (football, baseball and basketball) I never did.

2)Those teens need help if they did it just because. A coach needs to be listened to and if they have issues with the coach, they should talk to their parents or guardians, so they can talk to the coach.

 

[HuskyDogArt]

So we should attack Geno if the women's team loses a game? You sound like you would be for attacking Randy Edsal because we didn't go undefeated.
Sorry, but those teens aren't getting a pass from me for attacking the coach.

Today, coaching is not a job I'd want. I was my son's lacrosse coach and I had parents calling me up after losses and telling me that if their son played we would have won. If their sons were NOT playing, I thought they weren't good enough to start or they kid around to much in practice. After 2 seasons, I stopped coaching.

 

[HuskyDogArt]

They're kids.

Sounds like some comments I hear when the local thugs moms get in front of a news microphone. He is a good boy and would never harm anyone when the 'boy' is 20, is a felon in possession of a gun and got arrested for homicide.

To me, they are thugs. My kids knows that the coach have the final say, but if the coach is being a jerk, talk to me or their mom (wife). Beating someone up is not the way to get a point across - unless the point you are trying to get across is jail time.

 

[Scoe]

Whatever happened to just a prank call maybe egg the guys car.

 

[noeynox]

You're being too nice. If the coach diddled one of the kids or their sister he deserved it.

Likelyhood of that are pretty miniscule, but like you said it should be investigated. I doubt three kids jumped the coach because he brought a stop and shop chicken to a pot luck. Whatever the reason, you hope the kids do better than assaulting someone, but once it happens it needs to be investigated.

 

[HuskyDogArt]

I know you did. However, I know - when I was coaching parents were calling me up to tell me to start their sons. I been threatened by parents and one kid wanted to hit me for not letting him start. He had potential, but he didn't take practice seriously. I told his mom and she said I should. That is when I decided to get out of coaching.

I don't know if the coach was a jerk or not, but the parents should have tell their kids if you have a problem with the coach - talk to him privately, if he can't or won't help, talk to the parents who can talk about their kids problems.
