re: Jeremy Hill pleads Guilty to Simple Battery (updated with video)

he got more than extra probation. and he still hasnt gotten his football punishment. you think the kid belongs in jail? do you understand how many prisons would need to be built if parking lot bar fights put kids in jail (even kids who were already on probation for unrelated acts).

im not sure you really understand the real world to be honest.

I think we should get rid of probation as a punishment if it means nothing when you get arrested again. I am well aware of jail overcrowding.

Think about this "punishment" in terms of how Hill perceives it. He was charged with sexual assault, then they plead it down for him and he gets probation and a curfew that gives him an exception for football. Now, he gets arrested again while on probation and he gets the same thing, even though he had been warned that any further arrests would revoke his probation. Hill thinks he owns Baton Rouge now. Hell I would think the same thing if I was a star athlete and the judge let me off twice.
