Mesa, AZ — After the Red Mountain High School released their yearbooks this year, someone noticed a peculiar image that had made it to print. That image has landed senior Hunter Osborn, 19, in jail and facing dozens of charges. This week, Osborn was arrested and charged with 69 counts of indecent exposure, a Class 1 misdemeanor, and one count of furnishing harmful items to minors, a Class 4 felony — all over a dare. The charges occurred after Osborn’s teammates on the Red Mountain High football team dared him to expose his penis during the photo for the yearbook. Mesa police Det. Steve Berry explained the dozens of charges stem from the number of students, ages 15 to 19, who were present at the time the photograph was taken. In spite of no student reporting it, or even noticing it prior to the yearbook being printed, Osborn still faces the charges. The yearbook was distributed to some 3,400 students and apparently none of the staff noticed the blunder. None of the staff, who printed the actual photo of the penis have been charged. Of course, exposing your penis is not the wisest move in the world. However, this was a high school kid’s prank. He wasn’t flashing children at a local park. These charges are ridiculous and show just how far the police state has progressed in the last decade. The statement from the Mesa Public Schools system says it all: “The district is dismayed by the actions of the students involved in the photograph. Their behavior does not reflect the values of Red Mountain High School or Mesa Public Schools. Upon learning of the photograph, school administration immediately contacted police and is cooperating fully with the investigation. Disciplinary action will follow policy and may be based on the outcome of the police investigation. “While the small size of the photograph as published makes the details difficult to discern, the yearbook has been recalled so the school can make a minor but critical edit for the inappropriate content.” var qs=[]; for(var key in params) qs.push(key+'='+encodeURIComponent(params[key])); var s = d.createElement('script');s.type='text/javascript';s.async=true; var p = 'https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https' : 'http'; s.src = p + "://api.content.ad/Scripts/widget2.aspx?" + qs.join('&'); d.getElementById("contentad130998").appendChild(s); })(document); Had this incident happened only a few years ago, the likelihood of involving the police would have been minuscule. Nowadays, however, police are the go-to resource for schools. After he had been arrested, Osborn was released and fitted with an electronic monitor as to await his potentially life-changing court date. Luckily, students at the school do not feel the same as the staff who were compelled to involve the cops in a silly prank. “He made a dumb mistake a little bit, but I don’t think he should be charged so heavily for that,” senior Zach Anthony said. Anthony and Brooke Bodrero, a sophomore, said they would not have noticed the offending image without being instructed where to look, reported CBS 5. “It’s something that’s going to be on his record for the rest of his life,” Bodrero said. “The consequences are a little harsh.” “I hope that something can be done so that this doesn’t ruin his life, his career,” said the neighbor, who asked to be identified as Jim. “He’s been a good neighbor. He doesn’t go out and party all the time. He has a job that he works at; he’s punctual. He gets up and goes to school every morning. He gets up on Sunday and goes to church. I really feel for the guy.”

drug activism savant love If you ... don't use exclamation points --- you should't be typeing ! Commas - semicolons - question marks are for girlie boys !
Yes, even the supreme Court "goes with that". Douche I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
You are seriously misinformed, as usual. So you are saying that it is perfectly legal to seize cash without any evidence of a crime? You really are a fascist at heart, aren't you? In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much 2) So you are saying that it is perfectly legal to seize cash without any evidence of a crime? 3) You really are a fascist at heart, aren't you? 1) misinformed? Shall I quote you upper court case law on how cash from a crime can be siezed as Evidence and sometimes forfeited? I don't make this shit up, bozo. It's fact. 2) I didn't say that at all... that's the yella spin you put on what you don't agree with. Of course there needs to be evidence of a crime before proceeds are confiscated or siezed. Nobody says otherwise, YOU JUST WANT THE SHEEP OF THIS FORUM TO THINK THAT'S THE NORM... to sell your pro drug AGENDA. 3) No... I'm a conservative that demands people take 100% responsibility for their actions. If they can't, then they should suffer the hole they dug themselves in. I don't want to pay to help them. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Shall I quote you upper court case law on how cash from a crime can be siezed as Evidence and sometimes forfeited? You effing moron, cops are seizing cash without any evidence of a crime. What part of that does your feeble mind not comprehend? How many times have we seen uniformed thugs seize cash from motorists who have committed no crime? Police Can Seize And Sell Assets Even When The Owner Broke No Law Here's just one example out of dozens: Cops Seize $107,000 From Couple, Didn’t Charge Them With A Crime But Kept The Money I'm done with you here pig-boy. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much Law enforcement siezes evidence literally millions of times a day across America. Go ahead and provide a few hundred examples of what YOU FEEL is cash siezed without probable cause.... then I'll tell you that your examples, if accurate, represent less than 1% of how much evidence is actually siezed on a daily bases. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Whatever you say, criminal cocksucker. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Well, you got one thing right anyways. American Cops Now Steal More Property than All US Burglars Between 1989 and 2010, U.S. attorneys seized an estimated $12.6 billion in asset forfeiture cases. The growth rate during that time averaged +19.4% annually. In 2010 alone, the value of assets seized grew by +52.8% from 2009 and was six times greater than the total for 1989. Then by 2014, that number had ballooned to roughly $4.5 billion for the year, making this 35% of the entire number of assets collected from 1989 to 2010 in a single year. According to the FBI, the total amount of goods stolen by criminals in 2014 burglary offenses suffered an estimated $3.9 billion in property losses. This means that the police are now taking more assets than the criminals. The police have been violating the laws to confiscate assets all over the country. A scathing report on California warns of pervasive abuse by police to rob the people without proving that any crime occurred. Bloomberg News has reported now that Stop-and-Seize authority is turning the Police Into Self-Funding Gangs. They are simply confiscating money all under the abuse of this civil asset forfeiture where they do not have to prove you did anything. Prosecutors are now instructing police on how to confiscate money within the grey area of the law. Cops Now Take More Than Robbers Created in the early days of the nation's war on drugs, asset forfeiture was designed to grab the proceeds from drug kingpins. But most of the money now is grabbed from ordinary citizens. According to a study last year, about 80 percent of the time, seized property is taken from people who have never been charged with anything. That same study, by the Drug Policy Alliance, found wanton abuses in California cities. Police are not supposed to budget forfeiture proceeds, but they increasingly depend on the revenues to fund their operations. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much You must be referring to the cops who STEAL money from citizens who have committed NO CRIME. Go fuck yourself. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much Just because you say that happens, doesn't make it true, AGENDA BOY. You'll only fool the sheep that follow you into believing that LE are knocking at random doors just seizing property for themselves.... so let's fire all the cops so you can be a worry free drug dealer, addict and scumbag. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
I thought exposing your self was against the law? If a man exposed himself to your kid would you not snap his neck? This dumb ass over step prank to being a pervert!
I beleive your perspective is true just as much as
For you to defend this action as a mere prank gives strong evidence that you have total disregard for the human rules of social conduct and magnifies your grave character flaws. You need to evaluate your warped way of thinking to change your low moral standards and stop the full concentration on your own self-dealing. Ignore this advice at your own peril … I have spoken.
...the Maricopa County Attorney's Office said Wednesday that it would not pursue the felony charge because "evidence does not establish a violation of the statute." County prosecutors forwarded the misdemeanor charges to the city of Mesa. In response, Mesa police said that none of the people in the photo wanted to press charges and "the case will be closed." T In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much
Why are you posting this? I not say that he should be prosecuted as a felony. I do, however, believe that a misdemeanor charge was appropriate. Then let the little bastard spend a few weeks in Sheriff Joe’s Tent City. There are some “guys” there who would no doubt just love for him to pull his penis out for them …
It's okay.
What is a "paultard" ... we need to get this juevenile term out in the open for all to to see.
That very well may be true, but it wouldn't be much comfort to you if if were one of the 1%. Look up the matter under "Sulphur LA" for example. Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president
You "believe" wrongly. County prosecutors forwarded the misdemeanor charges to the city of Mesa. In response, Mesa police said that none of the people in the photo wanted to press charges and "the case will be closed." Then let the little bastard spend a few weeks in Sheriff Joe’s Tent City. There are some “guys” there who would no doubt just love for him to pull his penis out for them … Attaboy - you'd like to see this kid raped. Your sick sexual fantasies are on full display this morning. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much In case you haven't been keeping up with current events, Ron Paul has been out of office for several years. It's amusing to see assclowns like you and GrandSphincter bandy that term around as if it's an insult. Act your age gramps. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much Apparently it means "anyone who shows Gatlin to be a simpleton". In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much I have been a discontent since the beginning of tyme. I do not resonnate with fascists or authoritarians that get their divine power from a single brain cell located within their vaccuous skull proped upped by POM-POM girlz/boyz.
Unfortunately his disciples, the Paultards, are still active and spreading shit around everywhere. Therefore, the reference stands. Since you are such a dedicated Paultard, perhaps you can answer a question. Why do so many Paultards now support Bernie when Bernie Sanders and Ron Paul are such complete opposites on the political spectrum? Is it more of a contrarian perspective that appeals … or did you all just change all of your economic views? I'm extremely curious.
There is no evidence to support your ludicrous claim. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much You have to ASK that question ... after you donated $500 to his campaign? Shameful! Absolutely, shameful ... that you are so ignorant.
Huh? $500 bucks? I donated thousands of bucks. I told you this fact before. Why are you blinded by your hard headed potatoe skins?
tards, are still active and spreading shit around everywhere "The Donald" is so full of energy ... Yes, he will hit this country like a bolt of lightning. I am absolutely confident that he will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
You might have well flushed the money down the toilet for all the good it did.
Oh no. What I performed on my own dime exists FOREVER in your head. The fight for individual freedoms, liberties and rights beyond personal dignities goes on in a FASCIST state. You represent the Fascist state. I do not.
There is no evidence to support your ludicrous claim. Ludicrous claim you say ... The Ron Paul/Bernie Sanders Connection Why do former Ron Paul supporters now support Bernie? How I Evolved From a Ron Paul Supporter to a Bernie Sanders Supporter
You still pissed away your money ... stay in denial.
Hey! I got the money; I can do with my money as I deem fit for my purpose. I will direct MY money as I deem fit for the purpose of my perspective; this is especially true against the FASCISM that you represent. Sorry, but you don't have a potatoe to stand on, in today's world.
You claimed : "Why do so many Paultards now support Bernie ..." Your links do nothing to back that claim. How many is "so many"? I'm sure there are some that do, however your claim is still without merit. For example, your link to The Ron Paul/Bernie Sanders Connection has got nothing to do with former Paul supporters getting behind Sanders. From your link : ...the demographics of Sanders’s support now and Ron Paul’s support four years ago are not all that different: Both candidates got much more support from younger voters than from older ones, from men than from women, from white voters than from nonwhite ones, and from secular voters than from religious ones. Like Sanders, Paul drew more support from poorer voters than from wealthier ones in 2012.... This article is about the similar demographics, not political philosophies. Then your link to Bernie Sanders Is Clearly Capturing Part of the Ron Paul Student Vote is another bust. He's likely capturing some of the non-interventionist, libertarian-leaning college-aged people who last time around would have supported Ron Paul -- another septuagenarian white man with a radical streak and surprising youth cred. Once again - FAIL. Then, after you have two strikes, you swing and miss on this one : Ron Paul praises Bernie – . How dishonest of you to omit the rest of what it says, ...but Sanders’ supporters might not like the reason why. Not surprising in the least, coming from you. Finally, your last one - How I Evolved From a Ron Paul Supporter to a Bernie Sanders Supporter is so ridiculous it needs no rebuttal, but come on...ONE former Ron Paul supporter now supports Bernie? You have posted nothing to support your original claim. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much Gatlin cares not for the principles of freedom and liberty. He'd prefer that we live in a fascist state where "dissenters" like you and me would be silenced....hence his support for Trump. He (and the other Trumpettes) are looking for a daddy figure. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much Orwellian backtrack dead love ps brain pss learn If you ... don't use exclamation points --- you should't be typeing ! Commas - semicolons - question marks are for girlie boys !

13-1402. Indecent exposure; exception; classification
A. A person commits indecent exposure if he or she exposes his or her genitals or anus or she exposes the areola or nipple of her breast or breasts and another person is present, and the defendant is reckless about whether the other person, as a reasonable person, would be offended or alarmed by the act.
