. And no mask. Click through to the thread to see a video of the interaction.
Exactly this. We don't know how it started and at the beginning of the video, the woman was cussing him out. Everybody was wrong in this situation imo. There is no excuse for how Charlie acted and he should be punished and have to personally apologize to those women. However, nobody needs to know the punishment that he receives except for Charlie, the coaching staff, and GT administration.
Nobody is perfect is correct. And children need to learn that ONE mistake can cost you almost everything. Hard lesson to learn but completely necessary. He should lose any scholarship he has, and removed from the team for one season. He is welcome to transfer or sit. But shouldn't be around the team for a year. Don't let *****s like this brush stuff under the rug and a slap on the wrist. This kid is most likely privileged knowing the high school he came from. Don't let mommy and daddy work his way out of this. I take ZERO tolerance to kids acting like brats. It usually transfers to a$$hole adults.
I appreciate the not rush to judgement but when you have a 5'11 man jump out and accost you in a drive through line in late at night, I would be a little agitated. I agree we didn't see what happened prior to this but in your comment - trying not to make an assumption - you say we don't know what happened before. Exactly, GT players hit the car and she got out, perhaps threw up her hands in frustration, maybe said something about paying attention and then Benson jumped out of the car and all hell broke loose. The problem here is that the players should have been the ones managing the situation and being well aware of how their actions reflected on themselves and their team.
Agree he should have to personally apologize to the women and GT baseball leadership should as well. From what I hear there is no punishment, he apologized to the team in a group meeting, GT wrote an apology and posted it on social media From what I read somewhere the apology wasn't sent to the women but just posted online.
Could not agree more with this. For someone to react this way and to this level of reaction, definitely doesn't deserve to be on the team. Someone said he should be off the team for a year or go play elsewhere for a year - juco and come back the next year.
Right. No matter how another party reacts you must ALWAYS remain composed. He lost it. He has no control over his anger. Wouldn't of been good if he reacted that way and the other person had a gun. We would now be talking about a possible death. Just another entitled angry white kid. And yes, I am white. I grew up with kids like this. I was friends with kids like this. I am no longer because they are toxic people. If she "started" the argument or raised voices then we obviously know this kid has NEVER held a customer service job. You politely offer to give insurance, and apologize whole heartedly. But it sounded like him and his buddy hit her and were trying to say there was no dent or scratch. By his actions and anger id also be led to believe he had be drinking where the driver probably had been too. Men ages 18-22 make dumb decisions. I made my fair share. Especially in college. All in all this kid needs a wakeup call and stop with the coddling BS. No slaps on the wrist. Take away stuff he cares about to show repercussions for his dumb actions.
