Not the full story, no.

So what do you think he did?

 

[PantherCyclone]

I have spent most of my adult life hoping and wishing the media would not insert their personal bias into the news and let me decide what I find important. Cancel culture has to stop. You guys need to grow up. Never met him, but I'm with Quinn on this issue.

I think it is cute that you call it cancel culture. You know what I call it? CONSEQUENCE CULTURE. Actions, inactions, and words have consequences.

 

[WooBadger18]

He ruined his victim's life. If he didn't want to deal with the consequences, he shouldn't have done the action.

Also, what is "ruining his life" in this context? There can be a conversation about rehabilitation and when the consequences are overkill (e.g. are colleges refusing to admit him, are trade programs not accepting him, are jobs not hiring him, etc.), but I don't think we are anywhere near that point yet.

Sweet.

Jesus. The kid made a mistake, move on. We shouldn’t be ruining peoples lives before they turned 18. Unless if they killed some one or something like that.

Your definition of "mistake" is all fouled up.

 

[TitanClone]

I’m mixed. What he did was 100% wrong, no doubts. No gray area there


. I do know I don’t know all of it just like 99.9% of the people commenting. I believe it was tried in juvi court so we won’t know what their rulings and punishments were.

So I don’t know what I would do calling a meet with him, and I used to call HS meets.

It's cut and dry. I can name a handful of dips***s who didn't do anything close to what Kade did but deserved some punishment. It's not boys being boys, the only argument for redemption is "his parent's f'ed up along the way, blame them" and that's weak. The callers should show some stones and just say nah, not doing this.

SHOCKING!!!!!!!!!

let's play a game - a fellow student forcibly shoves something into your son's butthole, you good with that?

Don't forget: Then bullies the kid repeatedly after said episode forcing the kid to transfer schools.

Sexual assault another student. Has he charged?

Made a mistake? Just like what Ray Rice did to his girlfriend on the elevator. I guess that was a mistake too. Got it. BTW has Rice played in the NFL since?

 

[Rabbuk]

If your ideology has you sticking up for a rapist you might want to rethink it.

I think BC was right that he was charged as a juvenile

Edit: turns out he was charged as an adult and then a plea was reached to change it to a juvenile charge

 

[JP4CY]

Charged as adult, reached a juvi plea deal IIRC.

Yeah, that's right, I just looked it up

Got it, so I’m sure he’s had to do community service and take classes on sexual assault. He’s face consequences, you can argue it’s not enough I guess.

So do you want to walk back your post or are you still sticking with that angle?

Me? No. He faced consequences from the legal system. Complaining about him online after facing said consequences doesn’t nothing productive

You ever complain about a game after it's happened? A meal you ate? A flight you took?

 

[bozclone]

Seems to me the Story County prosecutors office dropped the ball.

I guess this is a take.

But how are we ruining his life? Because I’m not seeing it. And you left an exception for heinous crimes, why does a sexual assault like this not count under that exception?

Jesus. The kid made a mistake, move on. We shouldn’t be ruining peoples lives before they turned 18. Unless if they killed some one or something like that.

So first we were ruining his life and now its just complaining? Had there been no general public outcry from the get-go, he would have wrestled last year. Story City tried to sweep it under the rug.
