The two University of Michigan students accused of possessing Molotov cocktails on the night of the Michigan men’s basketball team’s national championship loss to Louisville are members of the wrestling team and have been indefinitely suspended.

Wrestlers Justin Dozier and Rosario Bruno, both 20, have been charged with two counts each of possessing/manufacturing explosives, a four-year felony, and were both arraigned on Wednesday in the 15th District Court.

I know it's a club sport, but Mr. Rager said wrestlers were the worst "group of athletes" on campus, so I thought a club sport might qualify.  

And i really disagree about your first point.  The rugby team is good and they aren't just a group of rich kids (though I'm sure some of them are both rich and good at rugby, like almost any sport).

I don't think this is a stupid college kid stunt. Stupid yes but they are old enough to reason. You don't make explosives for fun. These two idiots had bigger intentions. I hope they get the book thrown at them.

Really?  People make explosives for fun all the time.  And, there is nothing, other than the claim that these were Molotov cocktails to suggest that their intent was anything other than to burn shit in the middle of the street, but yeah that is similar to pressure cooker bombs laced with shrapnel set off in a crowd of people.

I also witnessed at least a couple instances of wrestlers acting like D-bags when I was in school.  Still remember my senior year walking down South U. and watching a car load of wrestlers hanging out the window making fun of a couple fat chicks.  Then a block up swerved into a puddle trying to soak a couple other people on the sidewalk.

I know anyone and not just wrestlers could have done these things, but in my own personal observations, the wrestlers were always the big mouths at the bars and parties around campus.  Thus this news didn't shock me in the least.

Really no excuse for it, sorry.  I'm in the "toss them out" crowd. 

 

Awhile back didn't some MSU people make a bomb?  This is similarly reckless and stupid.  Just no real excuse for making them, even if they were just laying around.  Just laying around until used for something.

Though I would assume they didn't mean any harm and were just acting immaturely, they need to be thrown out and punished or this. Just a stupid thing to do.
