Fucked up. It boggles the mind how dumb people can be.

Quote(CNN) -- Criminal charges are expected to be filed Wednesday in Orlando in the suspected hazing death of Florida A&M University drum major Robert Champion.

"We're announcing that charges will be filed against several people involved in the death," a law enforcement source close to the investigation said.

State Attorney Lawson Lamar of Orange and Osceola counties will hold a news conference Wednesday afternoon, his office said.

A spokeswoman for the university declined to comment on the news conference because the school did not have any details about it.

Some university band members have said Champion died after taking part in an annual rite of passage called "Crossing Bus C."

The ritual is an initiation process in which pledges attempt to run down the center aisle from the front door of the bus to the back while being punched, kicked and assaulted by senior members, according to band members.

Champion collapsed in Orlando on the bus, which was carrying members of FAMU's Marching 100 after a November football game that included a halftime performance by the group.

The medical examiner's office ruled his death a homicide and said he "collapsed and died within an hour of a hazing incident during which he suffered multiple blunt trauma blows to his body."

An autopsy found "extensive contusions of his chest, arms, shoulder and back," as well as "evidence of crushing of areas of subcutaneous fat," which is the fatty tissue directly under the skin.

The death prompted the university board of trustees to approve an anti-hazing plan that includes an independent panel of experts to investigate.

Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I wonder how many Languishites were in band in high school or middle school.

I never was in high/middle school, but I was in Air Force basic training...and only because someone thought I'd be big enough to carry the base drum.  :P

How'd that work anyway?  Did every <boot camp unit size: division/battalion/company whatever they called them there> have a dude banging away on a drum, or what?

Basically, at the time there were 5-6 training squadrons, divided up into flights.  All the flights in my squadron were "Band" flights.  Instead of doing drill/marching practice, we did band practice.  And when time game to graduate, our squadron's flight would be the Band flight for all the squadron flights graduating that week.

We only had a couple base drummers playing only cadence, and there were a bunch of guys with the smaller drums, and some brass instruments.

The big deal for band flights was the chance to go play in local, small Texas towns and enjoy some frills that other trainees were denied.

I was in the band.  I used to bang the 1st chair clarinetist with her panties in her mouth while her parents watched The PTL Club upstairs.

But that's how we sax players roll, daddyo.

Me do school activities? Pfft. They stole 6 hours of my day already, they weren't getting more.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

True.  But all our clarinet girls were ugly.  Also the Saxophone players started out as clarinets.

I guess that was just how it was at your school, Gay Ass McFaggot HS.
