Rye man charged in Tulane hazing
A 20-year-old college student from Rye is at the center of a hazing scandal at Tulane University, among those accused of pouring scalding, pepper-laced water on two fraternity pledges who suffered second- and third-degree burns during a "hell night" ritual.
Joseph Lorono of 40 Sonn Drive is among 10 Tulane students facing felony battery charges for the April 25 incident in New Orleans, which occurred in the tarp-covered basement of Pi Kappa Alpha. One victim said he actually saw Lorono pouring the water on him from a gasoline canister, according to court papers....

First, kid looks like a dork from his picture. Second, LOL and
that they put his street address in the article. And reading this part made me really sad:
"
The pledges begged them to stop and tried to leave, but were ordered to stay and endure
hours of excruciating pain during the final stage of their initiation, one of the victims' lawyers told The Journal News yesterday."
And this made me really mad:
"Exacerbating the pain was some of the water being laced with cayenne and other spices in a southern "crab-boil," the lawyer said. "It's incredibly spicy, and sometimes just touching it to your fingers will burn you," lawyer Paul Hesse said. "Well, you can imagine if you've got open wounds. This went on for hours.
My client estimates that he must have sustained seven gallons of boiling water, which scalded him and caused burns to his back, neck, shoulders, arms, chest, buttocks. There really wasn't any part of him that was saved."
Unfathomable. Can you imagine the reaction of their parents? Someone doing this to their kid? Good god.
