Presumed Innocent?
There's really not a lot of information to go on here--are we sure that these people are really guilty of what the article says?
I've noticed this alot in postings here: that if a news article of whatever stripe accuses Greeks of wrongdoing, including hazing, they are automatically judged guilty before (a) the other side of the story is heard (b) NIC or school authorities have a chance to investigate and get the facts, including the ones that don't fit into sound bites and (c) any court of law has a say.
I'm thinking it might be wise to reserve judgement on who is "stupid" or "will they ever learn" or "what were they thinking" and see if they are really guilty. Otherwise, you might end up condemning people who are ultimately exhonorated. Who would be "stupid" then?
Any other thoughts?
