The craziest thing in this article is it says the offending party (the perp) also declined to press charges. Charges for what? Did the white kid's face break his hand? This is complete insanity. And the assault victim should have pressed charges. People who get violent don't stop until someone stops them. They need to feel some pain too.

edit: I just read it again. The black kid got bumped by the white kid, who was leading the race, because he was on the track and wouldn't move. He wasn't even in the race. GEEZ!

I’m always perplexed as to why someone needs to press charges when a crime has been committed. Crimes aren't just personal - it's a crime against society and its rules. Hopefully the high school and athletics governing bodies do the right thing.

Well Smollet did press charges on Smollet, so by that logic it's cool...I guess?

In most cases I’m not so sure that I would want to bother pressing charges over being the victim of a minor assault where I sustained little to no injury.



Your talking about time out of your life to go to future court dates, etc……. And for what? So some guy who you will probably never see again gets a minor fine and a ding on his record

Because of forgiveness, leniency and grace. And freedom.

If charges were automatically pressed "by society", that would be totalitarian.

And it is also possible to settle outside of the judicial system.

Charges are pressed "by society" though, right. In my expert Law and Order watching, the cases were always "the people vs".

Maybe thas just for higher level crimes.

Yea, I’m not sure the cutoff. But a family can’t decline to press charges for murder. Not sure about attempted murder.

Can a bank not press charges for robbery? Not sure how the FBI would feel about that.

This has now piqued my interest and I will report back after some research.
