Well done on the censorship once again. You're clearly meeting the needs and desires of your readers if you have to ALSO delete their comments... Your policy seems to be working well Tony.....

Where were these teachers when I was 15? All we had was a bunch of angry mastadons!

I wonder if the parents of the 15 year old keep track of him at 1:30 am. While some folks think they are well hidden in a car parked in an empty lot, it sure stands out when the patrol car comes by.

This should be interesting to follow for a while.

Comments regarding the teacher's appearance have been removed. Also - some comments that treat this situation lightly may technically fall within our conversation guidelines. However, I do hope that readers can react to this as a news story that has real implications for all of the people involved.

Cash - A similar article about the hearing was in the NY Times, but because it is behind the paywall, I did not link to it. Instead I picked this one, since it was free to view for anyone.

Who would you expect Rupert Murdoch's rag to blame?
