Everything you’re saying is true. Here’s the other side what I said in my previous post could be true too. Now I want to add if it is he’s entitled to that too. Here’s the thing, we’re Moosehead fans and we look highly on the team as a whole. That’s what fans do. However we’re talking about teenagers and they are entitled to ask for trades because it’s their life they need to live. If I was in his shoes 10 years from now will I be losing sleep on how things played out in Halifax. Other than the DUI probably not.
We often as fans of our team forget a few things. One these are teenagers and they don’t have much of a say. It’s not like the NHL where they can just sign to a different team after a season or 2 (depending on contract). The teams have all the power here. 2nd thing to think of is they are teenagers and teenagers have vastly different lives than us adults talking on this Chat board. Think about it girl problems? Math tests! The few that are from Quebec or Europe learning English. It’s a lot that I’m guessing 90% of us on this board can’t relate too. 3rd I personally don’t care that he asked for a trade, if it’s true( for what it worth I think he did). He’s entitled to it. He and his family are allowed to make those type of decisions for their own good.
Now in saying all that, You really can’t say he’s a class act with the DUI part. Once again 2 sides to that. 1 innocent till proven guilty, and I truly believe in that. 2 I’ve said it like 10 times, he’s a teenager and they make brain dead mistakes. However in today age with all the ride shares and that age group being very into that stuff, IMO there’s no excuse. Just IMO.
There’s no excuse for getting a DUI but I do also wonder if he was over the legal limit or does he have a restriction on his license? Where maybe he wouldn’t have blown over the legal limit with a full license but because of the restrictions, the tolerance is 0.
At the end of the day, the law is still the same but there’s a difference in my opinion (from a moral perspective) between a person having 1 beer and blowing under a .08 but because of their license restriction, it’s going to be classified as a DUI vs a person blowing over the legal limit. Some people never get the N removed, you could be 50 driving for 30+ years and still get hit with a DUI if you had one beer.
The legal side will all play itself out and in my eyes it should always be innocent until proven guilty but the court of public opinion doesn’t care about that unfortunately.
According to police, they noticed signs of impairment....that's why he was stopped. Do you think one beer does that? Even if that were the case, wouldn't you think that a young person would be more aware of this? There's a reason why they have restrictions on new drivers. One of those reason is that most teenagers don't have the same tolerance level for alcohol consumption as most adults.
