No idea what dox means.
But there was a plan. Someone came up with dumb idea, right? And then you were told to find the kid's locker, right? And then you did. That's premeditation. In laymen's terms, that's a plan.
That's completely different from some kid going postal spontaneously without informing anyone. [Reply]

Sounds like Discuss Thrower is still pissed of that he got expelled in high school and missed the Spanish Club’s end of year party and his Lambda Lambda Lambda chapter wasn’t allowed to participate in the Greek Games with the Omega Moos. [Reply]

Back when I played they made the rest of us do extra conditioning when a kid on the team fucked up by getting detention/suspension or when someone got a D or F. I can kind of understand that. This was a criminal act by a dumbass that just lost his mind. There's no lesson to be learned here by the rest of the players.
Exactly. The kid's in jail, pretty sure he's not thinking, damn, my actions had consequences for the entire team!. [Reply]

Does that need to be the backstory to have relevance to individuals who might find themselves in a similar situation in the future? Or might a reasonable person conclude that when your teammate assaults a ref because of a bad call that the consequences go beyond that individual's ejection and a simple 15yd penalty? And might a reasonable person be marginally more inclined to intervene? [Reply]

I’ve seen some lose the privilege of playing because a few players violated zero tolerance alcohol policies. This is a far more egregious offense. [Reply]
