It shows special treatment to football players. Stolen items, shoot outs with BB guns, and more. You are correct d_r, the picture is pretty ugly. The two articles prove that there are two justice systems, one for the privileged and another for those not privileged. The second shows that the privileged escape easily, while others don't. How will the college town deal with this one? Penn State still plays football on a national level. I suspect that FSU will do the same.
