The attorney known as Terry Bankert wrote in part..."Mr.Graves feel free to call and talk about the fire response issue 9:20 would be a good time. Biggie9, sorry i don't talk to entities or big pink rabbits on the air."....
That's ok, Terry, I usually sleep in during Saturday morning and miss your program, though I will try to catch it sometime, I promise. if only to put a "voice' with the messages you post here. We already have your face. And I see your signs about town too, if ever I need a divorce [can't fathom it after nearly 32 years though].....
I encourage you get Capt Graves on the program if he hasn't already. I agree with your assessment, his postings were very complete, even handed, & informative. It would be a great thing to see such information from other officials. Alas, I fear they are not as knowledgeable, accessible or computer-literate as Capt. Graves appears to be. |

I don't have a problem with them playing, as they are allowed by the sentence to attend school-related functions. Sports may be the only thing keeping those kids in school.
the only thing I am sensitive too is the charge that they are receiving special treatment because they are "athletes". As long as it can be shown the process works the same and treatment is the same for other, "non-star athletes" then that charge can be shown baseless.
I think the reporting has made a mountain out of a molehill and has brought undue attention to two young people who really didn't deserve that amount of attention. far as I can tell, the system worked except the internal reporting process within the FCS system.
What we do not know is the response of the victim and the convicted two students. It'd be reassuring to know that they are indeed contrite and perhaps scared straight from the jail experience. And that the victim's understand and support the sentence. |

Did you see the document that was signed by the judge? Neither did I. All we have to go on is hearsay and what we can find at michiganlegislature.org about the Holmes Youthful Trainee program. When I looked there it didn't say "school-related functions" it said "...court may authorize work release or release for
educational purposes
." |

Terry:
How about the Michigan School Safety Laws? Aren't they applicable, I would hope that how big Flint is that they would have an agreement between local law enforcement...........opinion? Can ya tell I can't source it correctly....sheesh!! 
380.1308 Statewide school safety information policy.
Sec. 1308.
subsection #
(5) If provided in the statewide school safety information policy under this section, the prosecuting
attorney of a county shall notify a school district located in whole or in part in that county of any criminal or
juvenile court action initiated or taken against a pupil of the school district, including, but not limited to,
convictions, adjudications, and dispositions. This notification shall be made to either the school district
superintendent or to the intermediate superintendent of the intermediate school district in which the county is
located, as provided in the policy or by local agreement. If the notification is made to the intermediate
superintendent, the intermediate superintendent shall forward the information to the superintendent of the
school district in which the pupil is enrolled. Upon receipt of information under this subsection, a school
district superintendent shall share the information with appropriate school building personnel.
Edited to Add: Please don't tell me that this would be exempt under the Holmes Youthful Thingamajig Act.
For some reason, the image of the Movie "My Cousin Vinnie" comes into play, where Joe Pesci talks in his Bronx accent to Lurch, the judge......."The two 'yoots." "What?!" "Oh, excuse me the two yoooooouuuuttttthhhhs." |

Does anybody else find it slightly hypocritical that in the sports section of today's Flint Journal, Rickey Hamptom complains that the future of the SWA football players will be ruined because employers can "google" their names.
I mean: doesn't Rickey and his reporter colleauges benefit on a daily basis from the concept of a "Free Press" and the Freedom of Information act?
You can't have it both ways Rickey. Pick your poison: either the flow of information is universally available, or we'll deal with the slippery slope of censorship and live in a world where somebody picks and chooses what is "safe" for you to digest.
SURELY you learned this concept in Journalism 101. ? |

| It is simply amazing the way the Flint Journal has gone about the business of trying to destroy any decent future these two young men may have and now they're after one of the moms. I understand she said she'd never been contacted about the suspensions from the school board or the superintendent and the FJ calls her questioning outrageous!!!!!! I hope the citizens who went to the meeting take rightful offense to being called "wrongheaded gaggle" by this racist newspaper. FJ has a lock on its ability to spew hatred by using it's editorial section, yet demeans ordinary citizens who exercise their right to use the process to question and express their concerns, which just happens to be the opposite of the FJ opinion. At one point I classified the FJ as being one notch above the National Enquirer....after this fiasco, they are certainly not worthy of being on the same newsstand as the other rag. Get a new story FJ....you've worn this one out! |
