A drunk woman was hitting him and shouting racial slurs at him.  He was a seventeen-year-old.  He made a mistake in the heat of the moment.  He was punished, he served his punishment, and he's been out of trouble for three years.  Everyone is so quick to take one moment out of someone's life and paint them with it forever.  However, it's also entirely possible that he did, in fact, learn something from the whole thing.  Like knowing when to walk away, for instance.  People can make huge mistakes and walk away from them as better people.  

If he is there in the second, you run to the podium.  I would absolutely take a chance with him.

Exactly.  I have more respect for him than pacman who is in his thirties getting drunk and wishing death on cops.  All this kid needs is some positive role models and hang out with the right people.
