I'm sure most are aware of Jayru Campbell the 4 Star QB from Cass Tech. Once committed to MSU, then arrested for assaulting a HS security guard. Since then he's also committed three other violations.
Check out the first video where he assaults the security guard. This guy could have been killed. He hits the floor hard, just lucky it wasn't his head hitting first.
In the second video he is at the back of the line shaking hands (he's #7) after a rare loss, and he punches a Det. Catholic Central player. His coach has to tackle him and restrain him. Reminds me a lot of some emotionally impaired kids I had to restrain. He literally looks as if he's lost his mind at that point. This kid doesn't need incarceration he needs mental health treatment. There's something seriously wrong with this kid.

He may certainly need mental health treatment, but he absolutely needs jail too. And a lot of it! He has been coddled because he is a star. Frankly, enabled. He will kill someone, unless he starts to see real consequences for his actions. He is mean spirited to the core, and a bully.
I thought he punched the guy during the post game handshake before he body slammed the security guard. Not that it really matters but I think an on field transgression like that should have cost him his senior season anyway.
He would have done well to do a prep school year and get treatment away from all of his other distractions. A big time program could've stashed him at the military academy in Virginia for the year and he'd be sitting pretty now. Couldn't be any worse than jail.
Is Cass Tech a PSL member? My goodness. The most disturbing part of that video is the students reaction, they seem to condone this type of behavior based on the language. Just awful.

Cass isn't your typical PSL school. Has a solid academic tradition and is an impressive facility. As for the reaction of the kids, every school has those fools. A lot of the kids who saw this were clearly appalled.

I hope for his sake, this kid can get his act cleaned up. If he is suffering from a mental disease, get him the help he needs.
When I heard about this dude beating up his girlfriend mere hours after getting out of jail, I couldn't believe it. What world do these people live in?
Its sad that his athletic abilities should give him an opportunity to go to school and potentially change his life with an education or who knows what else with football. But he obviously, just doesn't get it and never will.
What scares me is how guys like this seemingly often get off of these terrible things and just keep on doing them. I think that's the problem we have in our society. Top athletes are coddled through school and through being a decent human being and never learn that there are concequences to being a bad person.

Here's his problem. No school wants what he has to offer in spite of the fact he has a lot of talent to offer. So, what's that leave him? He's a well known coddled athlete with serious anger issues. Who will hire him? Who will recruit him?
He doesn't have a lot of options left, and you know where that usually leads.

Scary. A jurist who believes incarceration is the solution to all of society's ills.

....scarier: a neo-liberal, with no common sense or real life practical experience, professing more "do-gooder" philosophical "wisdom", like taking habitual violent assaulters, who are certain to repeat the same behavior even after passive corrective methods have failed, and "treating" them with "counseling", rather than punishing them for what they do. ......Then insulting someone for offering an opinion which happens to be based on actual experience dealing with juvenile offenders, mentally ill individuals, criminals, and all of the wide variety of corrective options available within the judicial systems.
The more you “offer”, Charm, the more obvious the chip on your shoulder becomes. Whatever issues you have had with the judicial process in the past, you need to move forward. I will continue to pray.
Save your prayers. Another thing we need less of: God-fearing jurists too intellectually limited and lazy to think of creative judicial solutions other than lock 'em up and throw the key away.
I'm pretty sure Campbell is going to get the incarceration time he deserves (though this being Detroit, he could easily just get double secret probation). I'm just disgusted by the usual "tough on crime" "lock 'em up for years, that'll teach him!" approach from conservative jurists.
Are you an elected or an appointed official?

I haven’t deleted anything.
Charm, arguing with you is like debating a sassy five year old. It is senseless. You have no perspective, and clearly you struggle intellectually. What did you think it meant when I said in my original post, "He may certainly need mental health treatment"? A guy who has repeatedly hurt people may need a little punishment. That is not a concept antagonistic to even the most liberal of my brethren colleagues on the bench; and incidentally, I don’t even hear any of our fellow Bronco Stampede members (most of whom have never been accused of being "John Burch" members) agreeing with you that this guy should not receive any jail for the things he did. Only you Bozo!
.....and I am an elected judge who was appointed to the bench by the most liberal governor Michigan has ever had. I have since run unopposed in two general elections (in a county which leans Democrat).

Is there a way I can petition to have Charm committed?

Something weird about you Charm. You have some crazy hatred of those who play by the rules, but you bend over sideways to excuse bad behavior.
