Let's hope these three young men learn to listen to Amherst police the way they probably do their football coach.

In Eastern Hampshire District Court yesterday all three took the standard diversion deal offered by the District Attorney's office: Pay the $300 town noise bylaw fine and stay out of trouble for the rest of the semester.
The 4th individual on the list had charges dropped because his name was not on the lease as a resident of the apartment.
All seven arrests by APD over the long weekend involved alcohol and most of them were UMass students. UMPD, by contrast, had zero arrests.
Sorry, where does it states they play football?
ReplyDeleteI believe the Gazette mentioned it.
ReplyDeleteAnd if you can't trust the Gazette who can you trust?
Don't get me started on the Gas-ette!
DeleteDidn't see the article anywhere. Either reference it or I'll assume you just make a racist remark.
ReplyDeleteOooo. That hoits.
DeletePretty quick to play that card.
ReplyDeleteWell, then cite the article. I just think you made an assumption here. So, simply cite it.
ReplyDeleteThe assumption of racism by you is what bothers me.
DeleteGazette article as well as Collegian mention that 3 are on the football roster at Umass.
ReplyDeleteUm, football is not a race, it's a disease. Hee, hee!
ReplyDeleteThe actual racism is that these four won't face the sanctions that White UM students would.
ReplyDeleteEnku, we both know that this is true....
Be interesting to see the result. If it's anything like the racist disciplinary non-policy in our schools...
DeleteThrow the book at the bums. It will interesting to see if the coach takes any
ReplyDeleteaction on this one.

Agreed.
Call me "old fashioned", but athletes used to be held to a higher standard...
just sayin'.....
Wow loud music and all the yahoos want to throw the book at them. No wonder Amherst is stuck in the 60's. WYB...
ReplyDeleteYahoos? Really. Gotta call names?
DeleteWoW-These gentlemen puke-ups must be the ilk that toss empties at pedestrians on Frat Row,etc, then you get the "Burd" for legally walking 13 minutes to use a crosswalk-or some'Savy rednecker" will attemept to kill you ? YOUR priorities as a puke-up-are NOT my PEROGATIVE with My life-must be a puke-up thing..I don't have to understand-Get It ??
ReplyDeletePEROGATIVE? Puke-up thing? Savy? Ignorant or just a poor typist?
DeleteSo they had a party. Big deal. Nobody got hurt. Seems ridiculous to arrest them for it, should be a civil infraction and a ticket.
ReplyDeleteVery tired of living in a police state and it is only getting worse.
BTW white homeowner here, 30 year and current Amherst resident. People need to lighten up.
What are the police supposed to do? Ignore a complaint?
Delete"These gentlemen puke-ups..."
ReplyDeleteHuh? These are just young people that had a loud party. What's your problem?
Bust up the party and send everybody home. Done.
ReplyDeleteFYI....

Of course the real story is the shakeup in the UM School of Education -- which is tied to the Amherst schools in many ways...
