Hodge arrested for stealing moped

[Harlan Huckleby]

So, what you are saying is, if the DA files charges, it is a conviction.

You've lost your perspective. If a player screws up, say, he cheats on his exams, the DA doesn't even file charges. Yet the coach might choose to suspend the player.

If a kid does something so obnoxious that a DA files charges, then an immediate suspension ought to be automatic. A coach (or parent) doesn't need the same level of proof as a court of law before disiplining somebody! Coach SHOULD take guilty until proven innocent stance in this case: "You better have a damn good story about why you were caught riding a stolen moped, or your ass is grass."

You shut your stinking trap Harlan!! I am positive you stole shit while in college but you never got kicked off the dance team.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Actually, I did spend a night in jail. Did I tell you that story about the insulation at the building site?

But it's inappropriate to get lectures about theft from one of you people. Different value systems.

Yes you did tell me but unlike you I keep things people tell me to themselves. But now that you have openly admitted it...

When Harlan was in college him and a friend got drunk and stole house insulation. I dont recall why but he spent the night in jail (probably the front desk not a real cell) and was released. No punishment, no fine, nothing. Yet he has the nerve to point his snooty nose down on others when he is a petty thief. Not a very good either. Who gets caught stealing insulation? What the hell was he gonna do with it? Hahaha, moron!

[Harlan Huckleby]

We were not drunk! We were stoned.

We were building a walk-in freezer for a co-op. And I did get punished, had to go to first offenders school with a bunch of shop-lifters.

(ha ha! And police didn't realize we made-off with a whole pickup truck of insulation, which now lives-on as rabbit hutches out at a friend's farm.)

[MadtownPacker]

Whatever!! Point is you are a scumbag. Case closed. Now get off this guys back for jacking a moped. Uppity SOB!

[Tarlam!]

HH, Patler, not I have lost my perspective, but you both have.

Filing charges does not equate to proving guilt. I am surprized you need a Nazi like me to tell you this.

Cheating on an exam should be dealt with in a manner that is fair. Is it fair to bann the cheater from playing football? Only, if EVERY student is a football player, or on some type of scholarship.

You holier-than-thou pussies really get up my nostrils.

I'm on their side of this discussion T. I'd only consider your position if I considered playing football a right. It's not a right. It's a privledge.

So - you agree w/ my points then - despite our misunderstanding.

[Tarlam!]

Fosco, I don't know. I was trying hard to understand what your point was, but I didn't really get it.

My point is innocent until proven guilty seems to be a myth. Dual standards, seems to be daily life.

If Hodge was named Podge, would it have even made this forum? No.

Kinda sucks right there, doesn't it?

And Patler, of course he has a right to play football. He has a right to eat pizza, too. It's called freedom of choice.

The coaches are also free to choose if he plays or not, but that should be according to his ability and not charges made.

It's Scott, but that's ok - I'm flattered. He may have the right or freedom of choice to play football - by himself or with his friends. He has no right to play football at UW. He has no right to eat Pizza at Godfathers either. Business can tell people to leave without reason, as long as they are not discriminating based on protected status of race, creed, gender, etc.....

[Tarlam!]

Scott, he can eat pizza and play football. Where he does it is another thing altogether.

My point is, if Godfathers says he can't eat pizza cause he allegedly stole a moped, that simply is pathetic.

Twist it anyway you want, innocent until proven guilty is what I am arguing and you mythically believe is in your system.

Innocent until proven guilty is a standard used in a court of law. It doen't always apply outside a court of law. Our system as you refer to it is the legal system. The system in this moped case is the UW Athletics system. They are two seperate systems.

Godfathers can say he can't eat pizza there because they don't like how he looked at the cashier, or how he is dressed. Legally, they need no reason to kick him out. It's their right to refuse service, as long as it's not based on one of the protected statuses.

But enough with Civics. It's Football Sunday!
