[Can you dig it?]

The kid got what he deserved and I think he should never be allowed to step on a football field ever again as a player. He also should have been made to go through couseling for this act. He obviously has issues. He is and was an embarassment to his school,team and family. Bravo to the court system.

That might be a bit much. Thinking back to age 15-17, I can understand how something like this might have been thought of as a harmless prank. It isn't, but it's not like he poked everyone with a used hypodermic needle. I think the punishment fit the crime and will hopefully cause him to rethink his actions in the future. Like Blau said, he's lucky he didn't get a can of whoop-ass opened on him right on the spot.
