True dat and great point, Mike.
Hernandez will no doubt have his posse in the slammer.
When I see comments (for example on my Gator forum) that smoking pot or getting busted for stealing a scooter is no big deal, I know we are dealing with a breakdown of societal values. Those who make those comments have no moral compass and to think of how they are raising their kids is a bit disconcerting.
BTW, I try to remain optimistic that kids will ultimately find their own path to morality and hopefully be mentored by positive role models but then there are those (like the kid shooting wildlife in cages) whom I really have my doubts about.
And I realize smoking pot is legal now in some states but when you are in a sports program where taking drugs is forbidden and you still do it - you are in violation of program policy in addition to breaking a promise you made to the program. Not very honorable, IMHO.
