Why is the media making a mountain out of a molehill on this? I am NOT a Mooney fan, Evan though Mooney Championships bring a good light to Youngstown I can not be excited about a team everyone knows is the best team money can buy. Having said that the facts are none of those boys were drunk or out of control. I don’t think any of them were drinking. The cigars were just a silly prop. They did not put anyone in any danger. This was a victory party, let them have some fun. Don’t the media have something better to report? I’m sure the police have better things to do also
Every one of these boys is wrong. None of them are “thugs”.
The judge needs to make sure they know they embarrassed their schools, their principals, their parents and most importantly themselves. Personally, I feel they’ll all think before doing something stupid like this again and not do it (lesson learned). No jail or fines required.
Most importantly, though, he needs to make it clear that this is not to escalate. Their punishment as school leaders is to insure this. I would make it very clear that this incident would not hurt their future endeavors in any way unless this escalates into a full blow Mooney-Canfield fight.
Let’s face it. There were no guns, knives, or real malice in all this. Nobody got hurt. Keep it that way.
Cowardly! 12 Mooney boys show up to beat up one kid. Worse yet, they pulled him out of his house in front of his mother. Worse yet, they fail to put him down. Better bring another dozen next time. I retired from SOCOM. The last few years of my career I work with underprivileged (i.e. poor) kid to train them to become solders. I would have taken any of these men against these Mooney boys. Not in a fight, but in character, morals and honor. Oh, and since it will make a difference to these Mooney Students, If you would have come after 12 of my graduates, they would not have had to send police for you, but ambulances.

10 Mooney students charged in Canfield assault | AUDIO/VIDEO
I feel the Judge’s job is easy this afternoon.
