I'm sure there's no shortage of work there. There's got to be plenty of cases for a lawyer.LJ;1358679 wrote:No lawyer worth a shit wants to practice law in Steubenville
A friend of mine is a lawyer, born and raised in Steubenville. He does SS Disability law. He refuses to do any work in Jefferson county. Not for friends. Not for family. Nothing. Says it is corrupt as shit.sherm03;1358689 wrote:I'm sure there's no shortage of work there. There's got to be plenty of cases for a lawyer.
The downside, though, is that it's all pro-bono work for the Big Red athletes when they fuck up.
yeah, I think anyone that has grown up in that area, knows how that town is. I grew up about 20 mins from there.LJ;1358691 wrote:A friend of mine is a lawyer, born and raised in Steubenville.

Anecdotal? Yes. Believeable? Extremely.

While I commend you for at least having the correct opinion, this type of situation only happens when good people turn a blind eye to this type of thing. I'm sure the majority of Steubenville is full of good and decent people. But they are just as reprehensible if they knew what was going on for months/years and did nothing.ThePatriot;1358147 wrote:As a Steubenville resident and follower of the football program here for the last decade or so:
1) I don't think two ADULTS in positions of prestige could have embarrassed the city (when they, in fact, had the power to the exact opposite and exhibit some dignity in spite of this event) more than Lord Reno and Sherriff Fred.
2) As someone who heard of this rape very soon after, along with everyone else in Steubenville I was and still am under the impression (and I'm pretty sure, just based on context clues) that "dead body" is not some code that existed before that night. It was in reference to the Nodianos video where he uses it and the rest of them think it's hysterical. So he says it, tweets it and then his friends who witnessed his "hilarious" video rant pick up the term and use it too. Zwick is correct in my opinion.
But I do believe these idiots raped before (see the claims from a victim in April of '12 who says she was raped by members of the baseball team.
3) hopefully Lord Reno is truly stepping aside on Monday as has been rumored and the school can start fresh. The good people of the school/ innocent students, good folks behind the scenes of the football program, etc. deserve it. Big Red's fb program and the University here really are the only things Steubenville has going for it and there are a ton of good, hard-working people here. Unfortunately, they aren't represented by the minority who post as SHS fans on these message boards and have to be represented by FWK. ThinThick, etc.

"There's nothing I could have done about it" has been an excuse for far too long. Good people HAVE to turn a blind eye for corruption to happen. I don't accept the excuse that there's nothing anyone could do.Curly J;1358761 wrote:I agree...but your last read few words should be could do nothing. I FIFY.

Agree and Reps. My County went through that many years ago and kept electing the same Sheriff...until someone ran against him and won.Mooney44Cards;1358767 wrote:"There's nothing I could have done about it" has been an excuse for far too long.

I see your point I just don't agree. Corruption only exists when good people tell themselves theres nothing they could do, even if that's not the case.

There was a big write up a few days ago about the Spot Bar. That's where the Sheriff and Reno meet and talk. Also where drugs are sold to people including football players. It is all on the Anon's leak page. They were just reminding people at the protest for those that were not aware.friendfromlowry;1358799 wrote:For those following Anonymous on Twiiter, they tweeted several times about the sheriff and the Spot bar a few hours ago.
