It's more than likely they won't, and probably never have shown him any discipline.
Saw an article after I commented that his $10,000 was posted that night. Years ago my cousin got into trouble. His Mother could not afford his bail and asked my parents to help out. My Dad said he would.... in the morning. My aunt was beside herself. My father her that she was free to have someone else do it. We bailed him out in the morning. I honestly don't know how much good it did, but it sure didn't  hurt.

He couldn't, he was ejected from the game for Unsportsmanlike Behavior.  He just felt like it was the thing to do, for whatever reason.
Yeah. That's why vengeance is a dish best served cold. I bagged one in college in an inter-mural game, took him off his feet and slid him a good 10 yards on the astroturf. Jerk had been ignoring violations by the other team (his dorm team).
I just said I was watching the play and coming in for the sack (another of our guys got the QB when I nailed him). "Sorry 'bout that...Here, let me help you up...." happy77 :whistle:

County police say jail officials alerted them of “disturbing behaviors” while screening inmates’ video visitation sessions on tablets.

Police say while talking to 27-year-old inmate Justin Henderson, 23-year-old Natika Maddox was partially nude and performing sex acts on camera while her 22-month-old child was present.  ...

(CNN)This week, the world was introduced to Tessica Brown, a young woman from Louisiana who made possibly the most unfortunate haircare mixup in history. Instead of using regular hairspray on her hair, she grabbed a can of Gorilla Glue spray adhesive and went to town.

The result was, well, exactly what you think would happen if you coated your head in industrial-strength glue.
Her hair became an impenetrable helmet, and as her social media videos about the incident racked up millions of views, people became obsessed with her predicament.
Do you roll your eyes at someone who's gotten themselves into such a situation? Do you feel bad?
Cynicism or empathy: It's a choice we often face as we observe an endless parade of online strangers whipping out their mistakes, poor decisions and unfortunate mishaps for all the world to see.

There's something very pathetic about people who share everything about their lives, even the most intimate and personal and nauseating stuff, on social media. Why are people so starved for attention? Why do college-age kids take dozens of photos of themselves every day and post them online, apparently hoping for "Oh, you're so beautiful" comments?  :shrug:

Bear Attacks Alaska Woman in Outhouse Toilet
by Bobby Burack
updated about an hour ago   

More bad news in America. While a woman was using an outhouse in the Alaska wilderness, a bear hiding in the toilet attacked her from behind and bit her butt.

“I got out there and sat down on the toilet, and immediately something bit my butt right as I sat down,” Shannon Stevens told AP.

“I jumped up, and I screamed when it happened.”

Awful, just awful.

Stevens’ brother heard her scream, ran to the outhouse, and lifted the toilet to see what had bitten her. It was a bear. ...  Outkick

I'm not sure the bear should be held liable. He was obviously there first.  Unless it's a two-seater, proper etiquette would be to wait your turn.

Well, technically that's not what we've learned... A bear may still sh*t in the woods...

Cannons explode all the time, and they always have all throughout history.
In this case, he had a 'ceremonial' cannon which was meant to make a big noise.
That is to say, it was not designed to fire a projectile.
It exploded because he stuffed it with confetti (or whatever) and caused a backfire.
Or, he got excited and wanted to impress the crowd so he went crazy with the gunpowder, or both.
Bottom line is, backyard cannons are great 99% of the time, like lawn darts or smoking at the gas station.
But that 1% of the time, is deadly.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

Handing out cigars with the appropriate label or ribbon them was healthier...
Smoking them was optional.

What ever happened to parents who wait until baby pops out to learn if it’s a boy or girl?

To know in advance is like kids who open their Christmas presents before Christmas and then rewrap them hoping their parents won’t notice.

I wouldn’t want to know if I was pregnant.....

WAS GAGA TARGETED? Lady Gaga cops probing whether dognapper shooting was ‘politically motivated’ after she sang at Biden’s inauguration
Exclusive

    Grant Hodgson, Mollie Mansfield, Teresa Roca and Jessica Kwong
    Feb 25 2021, 18:30 ETUpdated: Feb 26 2021, 0:50 ET

INVESTIGATORS are probing whether the kidnapping of Lady Gaga's bulldogs was politically motivated because she sang at President Joe Biden's inauguration.

FBI officials specialized in kidnapping and ransom cases
are working with Los Angeles Police Department detectives, The Sun learned on Thursday.

"Lady Gaga is high profile of course but she sang at President Biden's inauguration which takes this case to another level," one source said.

"The FBI wants to know exactly what motivated this incident."

An FBI spokesperson told The Sun: "While the Bureau provides resources if/where requested to our local partners, I would refer you to LAPD for comment as they are leading this investigation." ...
