Well that's just great
on the positive note....he
on the positive note....he should have some solid yac if a gate cant stop i dont see an 180 cb bringing him down
Looks like they tried to send him mail in Canton
He may well just not have been aware that he was receiving mail from the court...In any event, this is a fixable situation. People should read the whole article. This sounds a lot worse than it is, though it obviously needs to be resolved.

Its definitely fixable but
Its definitely fixable but why, why would someone allow it to snowball to this point? If you crash into something, doesn't rational thought lead one to the conclusion that payment for the damage is going to be necessary? Legal procedure be damned - if you break something that someone else owns, rectify the situation before you get sued and then service cannot be effected and then a warrant gets issued.

He's young and dumb
I'm sort of repeating myself here from the Mike Adams thread, but this just strikes me of the actions of a young and dumb guy* who thought he could somehow get out from under all this. Maybe he didn't know that he was being recorded (or that there was a witness or whatever). He should have handled things differently if he did indeed injure the gate (I love the use of the word "injure" in the statute), but the issuance of a bench warrant makes it sound like he's a danger the community, and there's no reason to believe that (as I realize you appreciate).

In light of recent incidents...

What recent incidents?
I have a feeling I'm about to feel dumb for posting that, though I assumed he was making a joke about EiD's statement.
Go Blue!
I hesitate to even say this, but...
The Trayvon Martin incident comes to mind. I think we were just talking past each other, though...We should none-the-less be more careful. This is almost exactly how WWI started. Somebody makes a gate joke, Franz Ferdinand is killed, and boom.

I agree about talking past
I agree about talking past each other, and I never would have thought about that case in relation to people's gates being broken. Apologies to anyone who made that connection, I assumed section38 was speaking about people with ownership interests in gates. In that light, it was very funny to me.
As far as WWI goes, we do need to be more aware of the impact of our MGoJokes. I wouldn't want the Austrian Arch-Duke paying for my idle jokes.
Go Blue!
FWIW
I took the comment to be about gates themselves, not anything else.

So many resources
I agree with you on that young and dumb comment. Its true. But I just cannot get over the fact that these athletes have a HUGE support network around them at all times. Especially football players with all the coaches, teachers, student support staff, teammates, etc. All the kid needs to do is ask someone for help, for advice and the situation is likely resolved quickly and easily. Maybe I'm just being unrealistic and kids will be kids. It just blows my mind that these athletes have lapses of judgment when so much is riding on them keeping their noses clean.

I worked as a valet parker with Victor Hobson
I worked as a valet parker with Victor Hobsonin in college, and he hit a construction barrier and just parked the car as if nothing was happened, walked back and sat down. Being too terrified / awestruck to actually ask him about it, I buffed as much of the scratch out of the car as I could (using my collared shirt) and also just proceeded as if nothing had happend.
YOUNG AND NOT UNDERSTANDING
Thus, we afford young men and women in college more leeway than we do all of us old farts over the age of 25.....
Well, he could have been
Well, he could have been waiting to hear what was up. That's reasonable enough. The court itself acknowledges he never got the followup mail about it. He may have thought they dropped it or were taking their sweet time.
Well
I bet the garage gate deserved it. Good for him.

I hear
that Meyer had cooled on that gate, anyway. If Ohio had wanted that gate, it would be in Columbus in the fall.
You are right, surveillance photo of the incident:
Unbelievable
Is that a great idea to break a parking garage gate under any reasonable circumstances?
Iv broken one.
I paid to get out of a parking ramp. The gate malfunctioned and the arm did not go up. I tried to lift the gate manually and the arm snapped.

Hey, aren't you a lawyer?
And yet you're asking this dude to incriminate himself . . . .

Hey, he can always refuse to incriminate himself. Of course, he'll still be prosecuted. (I assumed his situation had already been resolved and was interested in how it turned out. You know, in case I have to escape my parking garage after hours and not have a bench warrant for my arrest issued.)

My ummm "friend" broke one
My ummm "friend" broke one once. It was taking over an hour to get out a parking garage because they had a person literally quit and walk away from a valet at a Bar Mitzvah out East. The valet company therefore didn't have anybody within 50 minutes of the site who worked for them except this kid who was on the phone with someone telling him he's not allowed to give out keys. Their rule was if they parked it they have to get the car, which they put in a parking garage. So "this friend" grabbed the keys of the rental car off the rack, found the car, and went through the damn barrier, which didn't like break off or anything -- it just got pushed against its motor by the car until it was in its raised position. Some of the other guests of the Bar Mitzvah are probably still waiting for the damn valet guy.

Story of the year nominee
Right up there with your front page material!
It was in Wisconsin about 7 years ago.
Nothing ever happened. I had gotten a DUI 3 weeks prior to the incident. Since my licence plate was taken I had a paper plate in the tinted back window that the cameras couldn't see.

I agree, very fixable
At the very least he can go to court, will probably be fined, and be done with it.

If you're talking about the completely unsubstantiated rumors that CRAIG JAMES KILLED FIVE HOOKERS AT SMU, you're dead wrong. First of all, no one ever suggested CRAIG JAMES KILLED SIX HOOKERS AT SMU. Furthermore, there is no basis for the accusation that CRAIG JAMES KILLED HOOKERS at all.

You're alone in a parking
You're alone in a parking garage. There are no workers present.
It's late, you just want to get home, do a little studying and prepare for that Coral Reefs quiz in the morning.
You drive up to the gate, insert your ticket, and wait for the gate to open. It doesn't.
"Where are the gate operators?"
"Hello?"
"Help?"
Suddenly, the seriousness of your situation dawns on you. You panic. If you don't make a move now, you'll be a prisoner of the parking garage until morning.
A mix of determination, moxie, and sheer terror propel you to slam your foot onto the accelerator screaming, "No motherfucking gate can hold Jerald motherfucking Robinson in!"
You can feel the engine explode with power. The vehicle lurches forward, smashing your captor into fragments which spill onto the pavement.
The glorious roaring of the night air blasts your eardrums as you whizz toward home.
Freedom.

Jeraold Robinson had just spent an hour studying biology with his blonde, leggy, ex-volleyball player turned tutor in the football office. He just realized that his fiance's book club meeting has just ended, and he needs to be home now to keep the child support police from digging into his scholarship check.
He drive his harley up to the gate, insert his stained ticket, and wait for the gate to open. It doesn't.
"Where are the gate operators?"
"Hello?"
"Help?"
Suddenly, the seriousness of his situation dawns on him. He panicks. If he doesn't make a move now, he'll be a prisoner of the child support laws for 18 yrs.
A mix of determination, moxie, and sheer terror propel him to accelerate the harley toward the gate, "No motherfucking gate can hold Jerald motherfucking Robinson in!"
He felt the engine explode with power. The vehicle lurches forward, smashing his face into the gate, breaking it into fragments which spill onto the pavement.
Realizing what had happened, he called his tutor, who then arranged for a cover-up with a campus cop...
