I like it pan seared in a little clarified butter... It's a great starter for a fine steak dinner. :)<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p></o:p>

I believe in forgiveness. I believe in mercy. I believe in "second chances" where such can and reasonably should be given. Some "second chances" don't meet my personal, and notably narrow, criteria for when such should be provided. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
That a person may become more remorseful, grow more mature, find religion, or complete any other positive life-altering progression is both notable and commendable. However, the heinous nature of some acts prevents the provision of a "second chance". <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Some Examples:<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
· I don't think that a pedophile should be allowed to work in any occupation requiring their involvement with children. Ever.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
· It would be foolish to date OJ Simpson, and hope to see other people. Or next year. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
· That a governor would pardon and commute the sentence of a convicted inmate because the victim expressed her/his forgiveness of the original criminal act. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Unfortunately, these are neither extreme nor overly-exaggerated examples, but rather, quite apt ones in comparison to the case of Daniel Hood. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
I personally believe it reasonable to assume that your involvement in the act of rape - especially with a 13-year old victim - should prevent your ability to serve as a representative of the University of Tennessee, in any regard, including that which is automatically bestowed to you as a member of its football team. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Apparently others more qualified than I, disagree with my assessment. That's ok. While I think it is a mistake, I can see where they believe themselves right in moving forward. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Final Thoughts:<o:p></o:p>
For anyone who read the court transcripts, if I am not mistaken (99.9% sure), it was Hood's father who failed to provide the only adult supervision which was available at the time the act occurred (he was sleeping in his bedroom). Double-check if you’d like, and correct me if I am wrong, but I think that this is correct.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
The victim’s statement sounds to me as being, well, heavily scripted. I wonder how much coaxing / pressure she received from fellow family members to write it, if any?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Just my $0.02<o:p></o:p>

Hood's situation is not in any way comparable to your examples. He is not a murderer and was not an adult at the time of this crime. Try again.

How is helping someone duct tape one of your female relatives, then assisting in the rape and torture ( and don't tell me being forcibly raped with a toilet plunger is NOT torture ) of that person, not considered comparable to the examples he gave??

It is a mistake. He should not represent our school.

The entertainment value in this thread is golden. It's amusing and sad to see adults defend at all costs the most important thing in their life. God. No. Family. No. Career. No. UT Football? Bingo. :lolabove:

So far, there's been

+ you don't know how to spell
+ nice grammar
+ your logic is twisted for even worrying about it
+ cops are generally worthless, especially if they don't support Hood
+ this used to be a great place

Hope you're not a cop? :eek:lol: :rock:

One of his examples was murder, pretty sure that is not comparable.

The first one has to do with being an adult, which Hood was not. If you cannot understand the difference between the way a 13 year old views the world and the way an adult views the world, then I cannot help you with that.


Did you ever restrain someone against their will when you were under 18? I know I did. The plunger stuff is pretty bad, no argument there. But not sure he understood completely where the restraining part was going. I know I goofed around and have restrained someone against their will as a youth. Certainly did not go this far, but I've done it.
