>Police say their actions posed a potential danger to anyone coming up the stairs, while also creating a hazardous condition by blocking the staircase.

Plus, you know, it damaged someone's wheelchair.

I hope this piece of garbage doesn't get harassed every time he goes to a party or bar. That would be terrible.

Plea deal incoming. Will be interesting to see if he gets probation or if that's only what the poors get. Probation may be what keeps him on the straight and narrow until his frontal lobes mature.

From the article:

> Police in Erie filed charges of criminal mischief, criminal conspiracy to commit mischief and disorderly conduct against Carson Briere, who completed his third hockey season at Mercyhurst. Patrick Carrozzi, listed as a senior member of the school’s lacrosse team, faces the same three charges, according to documents filed with District Judge Sue Mack.

It's actually worse if he is just ignored. If he gets harassed a lot of people in his position turns this into a "me against the world" situation. Ignoring is far more painful.

There's another option where this kid learns from his mistakes and actually it turns out to be okay. Let's hope for that one

Eh. Dude has fucked up several times and those front lines don't seem to active right now.

Alternatively, he could become a hero of the right, turn it into a speaking gig at CPAC, maybe get a show on Fox News…

"If the wheelchair was so important why didn't she take it with her? I'm just asking questions..." - Tucker Carlson, probably.

Dudes gonna get a fine and that's about it. His daddy will pay it and he'll learn nothing from this.

I was hoping that by, "charged," it meant from an electrical outlet.

It's super uncommon for anyone to get anything more than unsupervised probation for a misdemeanor, even poor people.

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.

Good you fuckin piece of shit

With daddy’s connections he probably had a shot of playing pro hockey at some level. With lady karma doing her thing, those chances hopefully went down the stairs too. I believe he will have his consequences.

TBF, it sorta is the world against him right now. I mean, rightfully so, but that’s what is lol. r/technicallythetruth

That'll be good too.

He’s not a child. He deserves extra innings.

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

This is what happens when you raise a kid to respect no one.

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

What a human piece of shit, rich snob.

That dude who wrote the book about Sandusky doing nothing wrong is probably in his dms

That’s charged under criminal mischief.

Of course he's the son of a Philadelphia Flyer. Apple doesn't fall from the tree

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.

I guess I'm the only one who thinks that he doesn't need to die if he pays for the damage he caused and did some community service?

BRUH you're screwed

Is it me or is it disgusting to read this asshole’s hockey stats at the end of the article?

As a kid we'd do shit like this all the times, crutches, wheelchair all the shit.

All in good humour.

People seem taking this waaay to serious. I mean who hasn't wanted to push a wheelchair down some stairs.

It's a shitty thing what the person did, but people are acting like he did something unforgivable here. Just a stupid college kid that hopefully learns from their mistakes.

I hope both of these young men get jail time Get kicked off their hockey and lacrossesteams and get kicked out of School that's what they deserve

> I mean who hasn't wanted to push a wheelchair down some stairs

People who aren't assholes.

Wheelchairs are often several thousands of dollars. Losing your wheelchair can completely destroy your livelihood. It's not a mistake.

The kid made a bad life choice. The supposed purpose of our justice system is to rehabilitate, nit destroy, lives. But he's the flyers gm's kid, so the pitchforks came out.

You’re alone.

You think he's a psychopath who set out to destroy someone's life on purpose?

Whoa. What bad seed did you ingest before posting?

Well he'll be punished accordingly, but he rightly won't have his future taken away from him like a lot of the people here want. If he shows no remorse and does something like that again then that's another story.

Wonder where he’s going next ,he Fucked up in AZ now he’s blown Erie . Wherever that is good riddance

"Bubba is a world class jerk, but check it out, he can put the puck in the net."

I don’t know anything abt this kid. This just seems like a dumb thing a kid does, is there a history?

One of my clearest recollections from being in college is that jocks are assholes who think they're God's gift to the world and they can do whatever they please. That's a generalization, but it's true more than not.

My daughter is 23 and graduated college last year so perhaps I feel closer to it than I should but I just can’t imagine trying to ruin this kid’s life like half of reddit is trying to do right now. There’s people in the thread on /r/news calling for felony charges, making death threats, trying to get his father fired, organizing campaigns to try to get him suspended and other ridiculous shit.

It’s kinda scary quite honestly.

All the guys I work with think the woman should be apologizing for getting too sensitive. What a world we live in where people think the victim is in the wrong

I'm pretty sure that they're being extremely sarcastic here...

Should have been made to push the person around for two months.

Too rational for Reddit

Released a fucking statement through the Flyers org, the franchise should've slapped daddy with a fine for that shit.

Let's find out why he was kicked out of ASU considering you really have to fuck up to get kicked out of there according to the ASU graduates I know.

What path he's built? He's a rich entitled kid living off daddy's money.

He probably wanted to have flyers fans harass the woman.

Hopefully the judge makes him do community service with disabled. Hes a young guy, drunk no doubt and he needs to learn its not the thing to do.

Feel the gritty end of the stick 🏒

People here think he is 19 or something. He is 23 years old which is very much an adult. Most people will have graduated college and started their career at this point. His actions should be evaluated fairly, taking his past behaviors into consideration.

[removed]

There has been pretty much non stop coverage of this "event" by local news. At least 10 updates by each station.

This is the same city where a literal 7 YO was shot in the head, and there was maybe 5 articles each about it.

he’s 23

Why punish disabled people for this guy's actions? They shouldn't have to spent time with someone who likely won't respect them so he can rehab his image, cuz that's all that would do. Give him a fine & a week in jail or whatever instead. Don't punish more disabled people.

No, but he clearly didn't give a fuck what danger he could've put others or the wheelchair owner in. She or others could've gotten seriously hurt. He shouldn't just get a warning over this.

Two out of three aint bad.

But who is that third guy?

So I'm guessing you think he should just get a warning then & be sent on his way.

Frankly, if this is the first charge filed against him, he will get fined and maybe restitution, plus 25 hours of community service. If he behaves for a certain amount of time, his record will be expunged. Not what everyone likes but fairly typical.

Hope he never ends up on my team. A lot of you are acting like he jaywalked or cheated on a test, instead of endangered lives. But it's usually still acceptable to fuck with disabled people or their medical property, so I understand why most of you don't care.

Sticking comes with a 5 minute major, plus probable suspension for 3 - 5 games.

His fellow drunks will hi-5 him every time they go out drinking.

He doesnt have a shot of playing pro hockey. Hes like 23 and not a star player at the college level. Chances are slim and none. Hes already near his peak

What do you want to happen?

Not cool

He’s 23 and was already kicked out of one college for partying too hard. He has already been given a second chance by his second college. I’m guessing since daddy is rich and famous he’ll get several more chances.

It is rather annoying that very little information was reported on the young woman, Sydney, and how the young men's actions effected and will affect Sydney's day to day life until she can get the wheelchair repaired and/or replaced. But we sure did learn a lot about Carson and his hockey career as well as dad's position with an NHL team.

Do you understand how evil and violating it is to take away a person’s wheelchair? Their means of getting around in the world? Their sense of independence? It’s absolutely reprehensible behavior. I can’t even think of a good analogy to convey to you how disgusting his actions were. I’ve known a lot of dumb kids and I’ve even been one myself and I’ve never ever seen any of them steal someone’s means of mobility and damage it.

Would like to know what rules he broke: “Carson Briere previously was dismissed from Arizona State’s hockey club in 2019 for what the school called a violation of team rules.”

I hope daddy flays his butt and cuts off his money.

It gives me Brock Turner vibes

Destroying a few thousand dollars worth of property is probably like a 3rd degree misdemeanor. This is a less serious crime than getting a DUI but due to the intersectional politics of the people involved Reddit wants nothing less than this kid’s head on a pike. 3/10 on the scale of college athlete misdeeds considering Aaron Hernandez probably murdered people while at Florida.

At first, I read it as people paying him to push their wheelchairs down stairs for them.

Apologize, pay for a new wheelchair, and then make him do community service somewhere that works with handicapped people. Hopefully it opens his mind up to how dumb his actions were and makes him a little more empathetic.

Why fine Danny Briere? Did you advocate for punishing Andy Reid when Britt Reid was caught dealing drugs, or any of his other law enforcement encounters?

I don't think his entire life should be destroyed but he's almost 24 -- not a kid.

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.

Are you kidding? There are far too many dude-bro guys who think what he did was hilarious. He's probably a celebrity among many, depending on the kinds of bars/parties he goes to.

From all accounts, this wasn't some one-off lapse of judgement. This one just got caught on camera

It's also worth noting you know how hard it is to get kicked out of ASU for partying? Like it is a party school according to people that I know who have gone there including my wife.

I wasn’t defending the dude, I also didn’t know where he got the wheelchair-it didn’t say he stole it from someone in yeah article. I was honestly looking for context because I have never heard of the kid before.

That’s a horrible thing to say about someone with no real justification

Brandon Miller wasn't charged for any crime , but he provided the gun his teammate used to commit a murder.

Kid is an asshole, and deserves his punishment in court, but I have to say that a lot of these comments seethe with bigotry and hatred against jocks, bros, the wealthy etc. High school must have been tough for a lot of yas

He was kicked off a team, not out of a school.

Wow, that's terrible! Pushing someone in a wheelchair down the stairs is not only dangerous, but it's also incredibly cruel. I hope justice is served and that Carson Briere is held accountable for their actions. No one deserves to be treated this way, especially someone who is already dealing with physical limitations.

Yeah I wonder why…also where’s the mugshot.

This won’t be the last time he gets himself into trouble.

He was only there to be on the team. You think he went to ASU for academics?

This is true but I just think if we're going to drag the kid when there's obvious things he did wrong that could be focused on.

I also think we should avoid tarnishing ASU's name by saying you can get kicked out for partying.

[deleted]

Because they released a statement from an NHL organization because some shitty kid did a shitty thing? Not saying to fine him just cuz. He used his position to try and give it weight and made himself, the org, and the NHL look like dumbasses. It was unrelated to the flyers and should've stayed that way.

There are disabled hockey leagues “sled-hockey” - I’ve volunteered to assist them before - that’s what this fu(k should be involved in
