Katoa update

The Daily Camera has a story today about Lynn Katoa being arrested for failure to appear in court. Maybe more importantly, some of the front page crowd is on the comments section of the article trashing the football team and writing them all off as thugs.

Agreed, he doesn't represent the whole team (or the team at all really)

but I no longer have any sympathy at all for Katoa. Regardless of what did or did not happen in the original incident he was given an opportunity with the deferred sentence to have a clean record again if he just stayed out of trouble and followed the rules. Now he’ll undoubtedly do prison time and will be a convicted felon the rest of his life. I’m surprised he was still hanging around Boulder, particularly when the cops were looking for him. So, not only did he destroy his chance to play Big 12 football and get a free education, he didn’t take advantage of a second chance from the legal system and now his life is permanently f-ed up. Dumb…

He chose being a crip over getting a college degree and having a shot to play in the NFL. What’s tragic is that a teenager who had the world available to him made such a bad decision. I don’t pretend to understand it, he’s to blame for the situation he is in, but I still do feel somewhat sorry for him.
