Aquille arrested

[First_Down]

First of all you totally missed my point but, based on how you responded, I'm can't say I'm surprised. Secondly, I haven't met the woman yet that I feel so threatened by that I would have to get physical with her. Third to every rule there is an exception. If my family was threatened, yes all bets are off and I as well as any man would take whatever steps necessary to portect them. Obviously you were the only one who missed the point. In the cases mentioned in the post none of this was at stake. We're talking about two sorry assed punks that basically beat up a woman.Real tough guys in my boo, and in the case of this other kid, he cried like a frikken little girl and fainted when he realized his sorry *** was about to go to jail. Lets see how tough he is once he has to deal with grown men and not the weaker sex.

Then pardon me for misunderstanding your statement of:

"Doesn't matter what the circumstance, there is no reason for a man to put your hands on a woman. Any man that does is a "PUNK" plain and simple. That's right, I said it."

"So it doesn't matter what the circumstance, there is no reason" means there are exceptions. My bad for misunderstanding your clear black and white blanket statement. Fellow, I missed no point with your statement. In fact, I expanded your statement to say that not only should a man not unlawfully strike a woman but I said the same applies to a man unlawfully striking another man. Assault laws were not just written for men striking women. So it's not me who missed the point. You have no point.

Tell you what pal. I'll end this discussion right now by invoking my personal mantra on you. "I refuse to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed man". Conversation is now over.

Again bud, I missed your point or shall I say non-point. I was unaware we were having a battle of wits. My bad! I thought we were merely dialoging about whether or not it was ever acceptible to strike a women or anyone for that matter. You sound frustrated or upset. My bad if I am the catalyst of this. FORE!!!!

Haven't bothered to read through all these posts, but I can unequivocally state that any HS student-athlete and basketball player the likes of this kid should, without any doubt, be denied the privilege of participating in athletics for the upcoming season. Discipline and Directness have been compromised for way too long now and the fault lies with the elders who unfortunately, have conveniently forgotten that the word ' Student ' is before ' Athlete. ' Such is the SAD WORLD we live in circa 2012.

I fully agree with you but I think even that would be a slap on the wrist

Circa 2012...!!!! Student-athletes have run afoul of the law ever since there was a "student-athlete." You just happen to live in the information age where 20-years ago, you may or may not have heard of most incidents. Students run afoul of the law and most pay the consequences of their transgressions. You folks think that "student-athletes" just have a free-for-all do whatever they want however they want life style cica 2012 and that is just not the case. I remember a football player from DeMatha some years back who went on to Pitt and was approached by his girlfriend who related she was pregnant. The fellow snapped and assaulted the young lady. Not only did he pay a price in the legal system which is likely to only have occured to any other non-athlete person, but that kid was removed from the team and since he was on athletic scholarship, you can easily guess the rest of the story.

Sure Carr is in a very bad position at this time but this matter is yet to be fully heard and you folks are already preping the electric chair. Care to even speculate how many other violent domestic matters took place in Baltimore City the same night of the Carr incident? Are you all just as upset with those perps and banging the pots and pants for their so-called "priviledges" to be denied! I say calm down, let matters take their due course, and you very well could have your off-with-his-head disposition in this case. And then you can use the outcome of his case to lay foundation of what should happen in the next incident we will dialog about in this message board, or will it be another exchange of wits...

This kid from Montgomery County (that no one wants to discuss) was able to rebound from an Armed Robbery conviction. He was allowed to play football his senior year at another school, and got a free ride to West Virginia. I wish the same for Aquile Carr. I pray for the kid, and hope he can get it together, but it does not look good for him.

Domestic assault charges against high school basketball standout Aquille Carr will be dropped if he completes a 22-week program with the House of Ruth, his attorney said.

Carr, a rising senior and one of the better known names in high school basketball for his electrifying play, appeared in court Wednesday morning to stand trial on charges that he struck the mother of his child during an argument last month.

But prosecutors agreed to place the case on the inactive docket on the condition that he complete a program with the House of Ruth, according to his attorney, Ivan J. Bates. He must attend 22 sessions that last about 90 minutes each, Bates said.

If he does not complete the program, prosecutors have the option of reinstating the charges.

Probably the best outcome for everyone involved.

And this is quite typical of the course of action is first time domestic matters. I would also expect Carr to pay for the program he is to complete and it not be a burden on the tax payers.

I noticed that she is now 20yrs old, not 26 as previously reported. I hope he follows through, completes the program and they both learn from the situation because a child is involved.
