Best friend’s son got himself a pretty stiff penalty.

Life is tough all over, much tougher when you're an idiot. Has your best friend, that's apparently not too bright himself, ever heard of this new thing we have called lawyers.

 

It sounds slightly irresponsible.

 

I hope the deputy was ok.

 

I’m going to assume he wasn’t sentenced to a full twenty-four month term for that, unless some additional acts of stupidity were left out.

Regardless, jail time can be exciting and filled with adventures.

 

That’s why I started drinking when I was 15.

I was very responsible by the time I turned 21.

 

Exactly!!!!

 

This sounds like the opening scene for battleship 2.

 

Well, the good news is that if he behaves, he probably won’t be in for anywhere near 2 years. That’s the impression I get, anyway. Is he an a-hole when he’s sober, too? Because that might be a problem.

 

Life holds a number of lessons growing up. Some much tougher than others. I’m assuming it was a felony. Not a great way to start your life.

Disclaimer: I should have been arrested several times in my youth, but never did anything THAT stupid.

 

If you’re gonna be dumb you gotta be tough.

Hope he likes this.
They serve this to morons.

 

The Joys of Alcohol.

 

That’s a sad story. I hope the guy gets out early.

 

Well, just off the top of my head, and just going by the details in your account, I see;
Drunk and disorderly,
Public intoxication,
Assault on a police officer,
Assault with a deadly weapon.

I’m sure I missed a couple, but stupid should hurt.

 

So, you’re using “exciting” as in, I was in a serious car accident and broke both arms and one leg. As the car was rolling over and over I found it very “exciting”.

 

Let’s hope so.

 

Really, you are friends with his dad, so you are looking at it from his side and with compassion. I get it. But as an outsider, I say f that guy. My thoughts go straight to the good deputy, who did nothing wrong, and had a bottle thrown at him. Put yourself in his shoes for a moment. He's just doing his incredibly difficult job. He just wants to make it home safe at the end of his shift. There is an incredible amount of tension out there, and officers are under attack. And some jerko has to throw a whiskey bottle at him?
