If anyone has a ticket they are willing to part with (for a nominal fee) please contact me via PM as soon as humanly possible. If not, I may just look at the box office. Either way, I'd love to make it down. You'll be able to get one from the BO or the parking lot..

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/loca...cher16mart.html Tacoma child-rape suspect jailed again By Seattle Times staff and news services A middle-school teacher previously reprimanded by the Tacoma School District for sexual misconduct is accused of having sex with a 14-year-old student. In Pierce County Superior Court on Tuesday, Nelson B. Hanton, 46, pleaded not guilty to three counts of third-degree child rape, and a count each of first-degree child molestation, second-degree burglary and tampering with evidence. He is in jail. He was arrested Friday and posted $20,000 bail later that day. Judge Lisa Worswick on Tuesday doubled that amount to $40,000 and ordered him not to have contact with juveniles, including his two minor children, if he posts bail again. He was reprimanded by the school district in May 1995 while he was a girls tennis coach for Lincoln High School in Tacoma. In that case, according to school documents, Hanton made sexual suggestions by commenting on a tennis player's breasts, and it was alleged that he inappropriately touched a student, according to school documents. He also drove players to and from tennis practice, called players at home to invite them to play tennis with him and took players separately and alone to a restaurant for dinner, according to the district. He denied any inappropriate behavior in a letter to the district. The recent criminal charges accuse him of having a monthlong sexual relationship with a student at Mason Middle School in the Proctor District, where he taught language arts. The relationship began in mid-May and involved kissing, oral sex and fondling, court documents allege. The girl told investigators she and Hanton would meet in his classroom, often during lunch, to have sex three or four times a week. After Hanton posted bail Friday, detectives said he violated terms of his leave by returning to the school to remove a vibrator the girl said they'd used. The device was discovered in a canvas bag in Hanton's car, court documents state. Hanton is mentioned in an online searchable database of coaches who had been disciplined for sexual misconduct that was a part of a Seattle Times investigative series published in December 2003. The series, "Coaches Who Prey," highlighted how numerous coaches kept their jobs or were able to get new coaching jobs at other schools and clubs after being disciplined for sexual misconduct. Documents relating to Hanton's previous case and the Times series can be read at www.seattletimes.com/coaches. A court hearing for Hanton has been set for July 5. He is on paid administrative leave. :headshake

Very few things in life piss me off more than people who will criticize weed and then go slam down some beers (not saying this is you). It's so hypocritical that it makes me sick to my stomach. I was slamming getting away with the usage of ILLEGAL substances.

Karma...

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 10:18 AM) Yea, and that's why attendance is such a problem right now. Like YOU have room to talk about the attendance..

One day an Irishman who had been stranded on a deserted island for over 10 years saw a speck on the horizon. He thought to himself, "It's certainly not a ship." And, as the speck got closer, he began to rule out the possibilities of a small boat and even a raft. Suddenly there emerged from the surf a figure clad in a wet suit and scuba gear. Putting aside the gear, and the hood of the wet suit stood a drop dead gorgeous blonde! The glamorous blonde strode up to the stunned Irishman and said "Tell me, how long has it been since you've had a cigarette?" Ten years, replied the amazed Irishman. With that, she reached over and unzipped a waterproofed pocket on the left sleeve of her wetsuit and pulled out a fresh pack of cigarettes. He took one, lit it and took a long drag. "Faith and begorrah", said the man. "that is so good I'd almost forgotten how great a smoke can be". "And how long has it been since you've had a dram of good ol' Irish whiskey?" asked the blonde. Trembling, the castaway replied "ten years". Hearing that, the blonde reached over to her right sleeve, unzipped a pocket and removed a flask and handed it to him. He opened the flask and took a long drink. "Tis nectar of the gods" stated the Irishman. "Tis truly fantastic!!" At this point the gorgeous blonde started to slowly unzip the long front of her wet suit, right down the middle. She looked at the trembling man and asked "And how long has it been since you've played around?" With tears in his eyes, the Irishman fell to his knees and sobbed "Sweet Jesus!! Don't tell me that you've got golf clubs in there!!"

Good grief.. sorry I even posted this. :headshake

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 10:13 AM) I misunderstood your initial response then... What's up with you guys today..

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 10:04 AM) Based on your first response in here it sounded like that was what you were saying. They shouldn't get punished because it would harm the team, when in fact regular people get punished for the samethings that athletes get away with everyday, no matter what harm it inflicts on their "team" (family, company. etc) Uh. no. That's not at all what I said. And correct me if I'm wrong but did the players involved in fact get punished..? I was referring to kap's "analogy" saying that fans still supported the team after the incident. Of course they did.. there are other players on that team that got them where they are today. Because of 3 or 4 idiots the fans should have stayed away...? So I suppose because of the 3 or 4 idiot fans that caused trouble at Comiskey the past 3 years all fans should stay away..? :rolly

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 09:57 AM) OK now why do athletes who committ assault and battery on a basketball court get a free pass over schmo's who committ it in a bar or similar place? Some would argue bar fights are just a part of the scene, just like a fight in a sporting event. Again Mike.. why are you asking me..? I don't agree with them getting a free pass.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 09:48 AM) You "I don't care" people... and I was joking. Pffttt... you better have been.

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 09:45 AM) Didn't they already have a movie like this with Julia Roberts? I guess hence why you put runaway bride 2...

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 09:47 AM) OK, how's this, we have drug taking (and I am sure dealing) athletes all over pro sports who are known by their teams to be using, and they don't get punished by the law, even though their drug use is public knowledge in many cases. Why is it different for them? Why the hell are you asking me...?? I think the assholes caught with coke, pot, meth, roids, etc, etc, etc.. should be IN JAIL.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 09:43 AM) See? And that's the problem with you people... Seriously, though, generally people who have criminal backgrounds people tend to look the other way. It's all about me getting my entertainment, not what's right or wrong or standing for a principle. I know that you would stand on principle, steff, when you felt like it was called for, but most in society don't. That's all I'm trying to say. The problem with what people...? For the record.. I have not bought music from the molesting duo of Kelly & Jackson for several years.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 09:42 AM) What happens to families when their breadwinner gets sent up the river because he was dealing? Doesn't that punish the whole family? How about a group like Arthur Andersen getting procecuted as a whole for the transgressions of a few people? It happens in the real world everyday. For whatever reason it is viewed as different when it happens to famous people. Ok.. if you want to take this further... let's at least try to keep the comparison's even. Don't try tossing in a drug dealer or a corporate rapist and comparing them to an idiot ball player who was joined by fans in a a&b altercation.
