" This is why these things occur; there is no deterrence to the crime. Probation and fourteen days in jail? People spend more time in jail than that before even receiving formal charges. What's this say to the other punks on campus? Go ahead and do whatever you feel like doing, you'll probably get away with it and if you don't, the sentence will be light. These spoiled little brats are ruining our society. Young people blame everyone but themselves for their misdeeds and problems. If we're going to make any progress in the courts, we have to make an example of punks like this guy. Also, I guess the University didn't expel him either as it still says that he's a student... great. "

" (“I know what I did was wrong,” Bateman said, blaming the incident on his friends.) Now that's funny writing. "

" Don't be so nieve and believe that those kids in the apartment bldg. were sitting around on a weekend night playing checkers. Have you ever made a mistake in your life or are you in denial? This young man isn't in denial and admitted to his mistake and I believe Judge Dozier's sentencing was fair. "

" its not like you broke into a single family home and started attacking people for no reason. i am sure the fraternity provoked it and he just got in a group and made a stupid decision. I think his punishment is suffice. I imagine the people whose house he broke into would not even want him to go to jail for 6 years and ruin his life for making one stupid, relatively harmless mistake. "

" Students think they can get away with anything these days. Just go through campus on a weekend night, it's just a big sloppy drunken brawl. And there are no consequences for any of them, unless they happen to be unlucky enough to get caught. This is what we get when we allow practically anyone (whose mommy and daddy will write the check) into school here. Anyone remember the days when going to college was a PRIVELEGE, and you actually had to WORK to support yourself while going to school? These ungrateful kids now would pass out from shock at the thought of these principles. "

" If you want to know how to deal with drunken idiots who want to start fights at parties, I advocate pepper spray. Just shoot them in the eyes twice and call the cops on them. If people can't drink without having to hit other people, then they deserve it. Speaking of pepper spray, K's merchandise has canisters on sale for like $8 a piece. Anyone who is planning on having a party should have this stuff on hand. "

" DO the crime, and no need to worry about doin time "

" where did he admit to it to me he blamed his buddies on the whole thing and he was identified in an earlier incident so the punishment doesnt fit the crime he should have gotten time in prison. Accidents happen but sounds like they were up to no good anyways "

" To Just for Clarification: Yes, you will get probation, unless you have pot on you and then you'll get life in prison. Don't you know it's ok to harm others but not yourself? "

" So if I break into someone's home and attack them I can expect to get probation? "

" The young man made a mistake and admitted to it so why not let it go at that. After he does the 14 days he will not want a replay. And you think you have the answer but just try your answer to the problem and you'll get a real good jail sentense. And to candy. YOU MUST BE A BUSH AND CLENTON FAN! JUST PUT THEM IN JAIL NO TRAIL NO COUNSLE JUST LOCK EM UP. And you believe they are guilty just cause some over paid cop say's they are. And you should never alowed to serve on any kind nof jury. AND YOU MOST LIKELY WON'T. And people like you are the reason we have lost most of our rights and freedon in the USA! "

" The judges are not the ones doing it. It's the prosecutors who keep cutting sweet deals to people. "

" That is why there is so much crime.No punishment.They wouldn't have to worry about a trial if they would of broken into my place.Just a respectable funeral home.ha ha "

" 6 to 30 years would of been better. I know the courts are busy but they need to do away with all this negotiated plea agreement stuff. "
