An example of what can or could happen when our past can come back to haunt us !

An eg of what can / could  happen when our past can come back to haunt us !

Imagine if a dumb high school prank got you arrested, with the threat of 70 criminal charges that could impose a lifetime of punishment.

That was the potential fate of Hunter Osborn, a 19-year-old high school student in Arizona. After a teammate dared Osborn to stick out the top of his penis during the yearbook football picture, Osborn did just that.

As Patrick Redford reported for Deadspin, mayhem ensued. Osborn was arrested and faced 70 charges: 69 misdemeanor charges for indecent exposure — one for each person in the photo — and one felony charge for "furnishing harmful items to minors" (for exposing himself), according to local news station KPHO. The charges could have landed Osborn in prison.

Well the charges were dropped so no big deal right? I think at 19 a dare is pretty childish.

I wonder how did they find out, it could have been anything in his waistband it would seem hard to tell what.

Fortunately for him , in this case, yes  the case was dropped.

It may depend on each of our view points as to how we consider the rights and wrongs or to what age may have been acceptable.

Maybe in terms of the Law ..depending which country..it may just be a case that if you do something questionable that it can be held against you if such incidents occur..even in some cases many years later..

but in certain countries it may just be seen as a bit of a light -hearted teenage joke.

In the eg posted though.. I find it really concerning as to what may have happened if it was taken seriously and had not been dropped.

I think virtually, We all do things or make mistakes in life when we are young or at any age..and we all vary in our Intelligence and standards of upbringing / common sense or morals...but at the time , we may not realise the consequences of some things we do. or the results and outcomes of our actions.

and to what degree can things come back to us ,if in the event a past action create future outcomes that may effect others..

I have had it happen to me,  where something that I did.. later effected others whom I did not even know... as it may have effected someone I did know many years ago.. but persons connected with that person ,came to haunt me for a past action that I did..some years later.. that I still do not know...and I also don't really know if I did wrong or not..(as far as I as concerned I reacted to something that seemed right to me at that time) (But today being older / wiser I may have reacted different and may even now think I may have acted wrong back then).

(Then there was things that just happen that one just seems to control our decisions or actions that we just seem to have to go along with at the time. That almost seems to trap us into situations..)

but I have had some persons accuse me of this or that and initially I would have said it was never anything to do with them..

But their actions on me, then created me problems...and I may want to take action against them..

so where may it end..

Does this sort of thing happen to us all at sometime in our lives where something hits us as being seen serious from a past action, or just a few !

Im just trying to give some egs of how ones actions can effect you later positively or negatively..but sometimes can end up some years later as being seen as possibly very serious when initially one may have not seen it that way..

it can become very complex sometimes trying to analyse the rights and wrongs about certain things...

Sometimes it can seem to start as a minor issue that later becomes a serious major issue..

maybe like a butterfly flaps its wings somewhere on Earth and the effects in the air later lead to a hurricane... That type of principle.

what can start out seeming trivial and a minor thing as viewed by some or even the majority of us...later becomes a serious major concerning situation that gets out of hand..

How do the so called Authoritarians view things...who dictate the laws or what they see as the rights and wrongs should things go on to becoming a legal issue or law suit...

we can see maybe one so called experts view on it..but then we see appeals and sometimes its then seen in a different way..


If one has had such experiences..
It can make one become paranoid on anything they do..

what is also scary , is that if someone who is less clever with poor upbringing etc has an incident with a clever well educated / well brought up person..and it leads to a serious incident...that often we will see the clever educated person be more believed as being right...and I think often many will support their version..should it ever go to court..

but sometimes such persons can be very deceitful and manipulating...but often get away with them being seen as the innocent in a court of Law.   How often does the courts take such things into consideration !

Other times there are issues created partly from both parties that lead to bad situations.

Well the charges were dropped so no big deal right? I think at 19 a dare is pretty childish.

I wonder how did they find out, it could have been anything in his waistband it would seem hard to tell what.

How the f**k did our society ever become so extremist and hateful towards minors? 

Kids do stupid things.  Why, why why are we so arrogant as to treat children as if they were an entirely new species we have never seen before and have no experience with?  That centuries of social evolution seemingly doesn't exist?
There truly is a race to ruin and incarcerate people in the US - an expensive and cruel catch-all for social/racial/youth-related problems.

In the article initially for some reason , I was thinking that the person involved had now been some years older and that the persons investigating were looking into it some years after the incident had happened... BUT it does not actually say when it happened or how long after that it was being investigated..

It maybe it had only happened a few weeks or months prior..which if it had..maybe seen a bit more of a reason to refer to it...

There does however seem to be quite a few incidents where the authorities are making examples of what to many may be seen as minor / un serious incidents..

As if they are trying to scare or warn people that they should not get out of line..
