While I was not an asshole to this guys level, few are thank God, I was once a 20 year old knucklehead. Him facing fair and just consequences for his actions and learning from his mistakes is truly the ideal outcome.

Sometimes it’s important to remember this. I never did anything that bad but I’m not exactly proud of who I was when I was 20.

Agreed. I messed up so many times, let’s hope for the best.

Yeah I was self destructive, did my best to be an empath & show others kindness. Just built that way I think.

Way back in the 1980s, a medical college where I was a student had “stacks” This is where all the previous editions of all the medical journals were stored. There was a way to search by topic, but it didn’t pull up the whole article, just the journal and date of publication. So for research papers, you had to go and dig through these stacks. It was all very tight, minimal space to move around. The stairs were narrow. A couple male med students were caught placing 2-3 chairs at the top of the stacks area, so that if someone opened the door to enter the stacks, these chairs would tumble down, possibly injuring someone on their way up the stairs. Noone was seriously injured. When these guys were caught, there was a lot of debate about the appropriate punishment. Finally it was decided that the guys would lose a year. So if this happened during the spring of their third year of med school, they were out for the rest of spring semester, all of fall semester, then they could join in the class a year behind them when the following spring semester began. During their time out of school, they had to do community service, including tutoring undergrads in biology. I thought that was a fair punishment. Severe enough that they really paid for their youthful indiscretion, but not as severe as expulsion.
