(3,811 posts)Its guaranteed that a rugby party will be populated by aggressive drunks. There is a reasonable expectation that awful shit will happen at some point. To avoid aggressive drunks and the awful shit they do, stay away from rugby parties.
That said, society has an interest in not allowing aggressive drunks to avoid facing consequences for the awful shit they do. Turning a blind eye to the awful shit that happens at their get-togethers invites lawlessness to spill into the outside world.
For this reason, the football players who vandalized the other boy's body can be punished.
But the real lesson here is NEVER, NEVER, EVER pass out drunk around drunk football players, rugby players, sailors, marines, or at a frat house.
Avoid them entirely and the places they gather, or expect the worst.
