    Similar story out of Boston about 15 years ago. Rogers Clemens gave something hard to a 15-year old.

    Boooooooo!



    Seriously, I think this is an honest mistake. Although the teacher is pretty much a fucking dumbass for not knowing the product. And, what did the other folks in section 114 think when they saw a 7-year old hammering a Hard Lemonade? They get a little blame here, too.

    Man, where was that security guard when some guy in the bleachers at Fenway passed me a joint with a fucking seed in it back in 1987? Damn thing popped right when I was pulling on it and distracted me so much that I missed seeing Todd Benzinger hit a double. More vice cops in the stands, I say.

    You saw Todd Benzinger hit a double?
    Damn. Sure you weren't stoned?
    (In the Sox media guide one year, TB listed as the "Historical Event You'd Most Like To Have Seen" the Monterey Pop Festival, a great answer surpassed only by Oil Can Boyd's desire to see "the parting of the Red Sea.")

    Given the guy's academic credentials, his story is plausible and its ridiculous to subject him to this course of actions.

    People need to have some discretion and exercise it wisely. Its all about passing the buck right now. Meanwhile a father is roasted. Ridiculous.

    Actually, IJAG, he wasn't.

    From the story: "But an ER resident who drew Leo's blood less than 90 minutes after he and his father were escorted from their seats detected no trace of alcohol."


    What's sad is this: that the security guard's supervisor insisted on calling child services, even though the guard thought it was an accident.

    And when child services got there, they thought it was an accident AND thought it was stupid that they were called.

    That supervisor probably helped bogged down an overtaxed child services department with this, when they could have actually been out on real, more dangerous cases.
