Boone Vandalism Case

[bcoach]

Thanks for the copy/paste/google search lesson on our legal system...it fits perfectly on a message board.

This debate has slid into two corners:
Corner 1 - they don't have a criminal record...kids will be kids, it's no big deal. But if they do it again, then we'll reconsider.

Corner 2 - they have a history of bad behavior. They are 21+ year-old seniors and graduates who spray painted incendiary phrases on private businesses and government property. At least two of them have a long history of making false claims and acquisitions against members of the Appalachian community. Their behavior over multiple years is the reason I believe they should be expelled from App.

Does the university have legal grounds to do so...I don't know...will the leaders at App expel them? I doubt it.

But this isn't a political debate. It's a character debate.

Exactly! It is a character issue. It is an issue of the character of these women but also of the administration. Does the administration say no big deal girls will be girls or will they decide this is not the kind of behavior we want to represent our university. Are these the students we want to send into the classrooms representing this university. I know that to some I seem like a hard guy but if we continually accept bad behavior we will continue to get bad behavior. These girls do not deserve to hang a diploma from this university on the wall. I have the same question as Boone Goon. I don't know what legal grounds the university has.

I personally don't care whether the graffiti was anti-Trump or pro-Trump or pro-Hillary or anti-Hillary. The fact is they caused an estimated $10,000 worth of damage. If one of the spray paintings was a brick building, it could cost a ton more to sandblast the brick. The squad car can't be remedied by just washing off the spray paint. It appeared that it covered part of the police logo.Thanks to Fox News this is a national incident and puts a black mark on ASU. If Fox picked it up, surely other national media sources did likewise.

Fox picked it up because it fits their sensationalist "news" agenda. And no surprise that local, NC stations will post something about it. But no reputable national news services will pick this up because college kids spray painting stuff is just not that big of a story...

That's twice you've blown the Fox news whistle. Fox news is no more "sensationalist" than CNN, MSNBC or any other mainstream corporate media source.It's all heavily biased and more opinion than just reporting the news.Most people are intellectually lazy and just tune in to whatever fits their own bias. You have to dig and read several different sources to get a balanced perspective these days. I watch Fox news sometimes but I've also been a NYT subscriber for years. The truth is somewhere in the middle.

Right on, brother!

Article references a $1,500 threshold for felony charges related to vandalism.

Pitchfork still firmly in hand

LOL! ...shaking my head...oh well... if not this time I'm betting Grainger will have another crack at becoming a felon in the future if not now.

Probable Consequences:

ASU- Warning (Wink, Wink).

Legal System- Fine and Community Service. (May I suggest a field trip to the nearby back roads of TN and KY Appalachia, to lecture the families on their white privilege .)

Real World- On your application, please check the box "Have you ever been arrested?"

Did the Transsexual Transylvania house land in Boone recently?





Excuse me, but this thread is in serious need of some satire.

Two of these wonderful women were arrested again. Misdemeanor stalking this time.

Shocked face....not!

I just hope they keep their jobs and stay at App...they were just out having a good time, not meaning anything by it...

Looks like it took them a week from my post to get picked up again. Yes, I realize it's "just another misdemeanor", but I've still got my pitchfork.

I saw it on the App State subreddit today when I was checking to see if anyone was talking about the UNC series. Evidently someone is keeping a close eye on those chicks.

Good grief, that's quite a long police blotter for a small town. So much for people calling Boone a "quaint little town."

I think you should change your username to OldApp after that one.

I always pictured Cline strapped up to an oxygen tank in the computer lab of a nursing home dementia wing.

I didn't know that I was the only member who didn't know what a subreddit is. Thanks for telling me. Pardon the sarcasm.
