This is an update to this thread. http://www.documentingreality.com/fo...s-shots-89210/


Earlier in October, Prep Rally brought you the story of a disturbed high school football player in Ohio, who pricked the hand of 28 opponents in the postgame handshake line following his team's victory, which he didn't play in.

Now the 16-year-old officially knows just how much trouble he's in … and it looks like it's a lot. According to the Associated Press, via the Washington Court House Record Herald, the teen in question is being charged with 27 counts of assault in connection with the puncturing of 28 players' hands. There was no explanation of why the now-former Washington Court House (Ohio) Washington High player was charged with 27 counts as opposed to 28.

According to the Record Herald, the teen -- who pricked the hands of opponents after his team's 26-0 victory against McLain (Ohio) High -- will receive the charges at a forthcoming hearing, where he can either admit to the alleged actions or deny them. If he admits to knowingly hurting his one-time opponents, the teen would be handed a sentence by Highland County (Ohio) Juvenile Court Judge Kevin Greer. If he denies the accusations, a pretrial hearing will be set at the arraignment.

Either way, the teen seems to be getting closer to receiving what is almost sure to be a significant punishment. According to the Record Herald he has already been kicked off the football team, though further disciplinary actions were not released per the Washington Court House School District's code of student discipline.

No explanation for the student's action has been given, though his mother hired legal representation for the teen shortly after the incident unfolded on Oct. 1. No matter what punishment the teen receives -- if he either pleads guilty or is eventually found guilty -- it won't take back the tetanus shots that were administered at the start of the month to the 28 players he pricked with what is believed to be a tack.

"They felt the pain of it when it occurred and they thought maybe they had hit a nerve or something. Then some of them immediately … looked at their hands and saw blood," said Dr. Dan Strain, McClain High School principal, told WCMH-TV shortly after the incident.

I'll say it again. Major over-reaction to a prank.

Purposely sticking someone with a unknown metal object that could be contaminated is no joke.

I used to have one of those joke packs of gum in high school, where someone asks you for gum and you hold it out to them and when they pull it out a mini mouse trap snaps their finger, but I unbent the end and snipped it so it would be sharp and stab people lol.

Seeing this story makes me very glad to have gone to a hick ass school where nobody knows what an attorney is.

Risk of HIV infection via needle prick: 0.3%


Risk of Hep B via needle prick: 6-30% (unless vaccinated, then 0%) and 95% of older children and adults clear the infection, fully recover and become immune

Risk of Hep C via needle prick: 1.8%. 50-75% clear the infection with treatment.

Now, factor in the chances of the kids having any of the above beforehand to pass it "down the line" and the chances of the kids getting sick drop off considerably.

So, my point is the chances of infection are small and the prognosis is good even if the kids do get infected.

The kid was not trying to kill people, it was a prank.

I wouldn't see it as a fucking joke at all, I would be thinking what if this dirt bag just gave me some disease that can't be cured, putting someone through that worry alone deserves a severe punishment, dumb fucking asshole should get a taste of incarceration for a while then he can worry too.

[Sharon]

Not a joke whatsoever, dumb bastard

Look at how much smarter he will be when this is over. He'll probably be a real drag at parties though.
