Can you really not remember being 17??? He is a young adult, perfectly capable of sound judgement and making correct choices. Just like many of you did when you were growing up. Jesus, Hem, get off the ******* soapbox. You yourself admitted to trespassing and abusing farm animals. You think those exhibited sound judgment and correct choices?? Pretty sure we all did stupid stuff at that age, some that would have been prosecutable if discovered ... If you want to nitpick over the severity of some of the stuff, fine, but let's not act like he was out committing armed robberies. He has exhibited some extraordinary bad judgment during this that could be attributed to maturity level ... and that age, you have a huge spectrum of maturity levels, from kid to geezer like. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't make a guess on how old you may be but it was not something I fully realized until I got older. When I look back on the things I said and did at that age I can only wince and wonder how I survived. Thank god there was no twitter around or god forbid reporters taking down my latest pearl of wisdom back then. 17 is not a kid, how old are you people??? Can you really not remember being 17??? He is a young adult, perfectly capable of sound judgement and making correct choices. Just like many of you did when you were growing up. In a few short months he can go off and fight for his country if he chose, he can drive, he can fly a plane, etc He is not a kid That being said, good luck to him wherever he lands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not armed robbery...but didn't he commit breaking & entering? That's not cow tipping. But, this story has likely outlived its usefulness, and now we hope Coach T lands a good QB later this season.

That's not cow tipping.I would place b&e between cow tipping and armed robbery ... and still within the stupid range of things that kids/young adults do at that age ... I know it falls within the range of stupid stuff I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
