We have serious bike thieves here. Almost a currency. And a person riding a bike down the street carrying another bike is immediately suspect. We don’t shoot them, though. The cops would come for THAT.
BREAKING: Blume Expelled - Kicked out of school

to be fair seeing someone with what might be stolen property is different than an armed person trying to steal your vehicle. One is a lethal force allowable situation in most states ( in Pa. it is) the other isn't. Suspicion of stolen property is a call the cops. If however someone attempts to forcibly take your bicycle lethal force might be applicable.
But it is quite difficult to comfortably conceal carry wearing bike shorts, especially considering the 'comfort' of a bike seat.
Aren't you from Portland?? Is there even any law enforcement left there?
Completely different situations. 20 years ago I was in a place I should not have been and the next morning found out that there was a car jacking where the driver was shot and killed and left in the street where I had been 5 minutes earlier. Not sure if I could have fired before the car jacker but you can bet that I am not the only one going down if I have a say.
For those who are interested. There are several misconceptions posted on this thread.

I hope that the victim files a civil suit against the two perpetrators and includes a request for punitive damages based upon willful and wanton misconduct. Punitive damages are not dischargeable in a bankruptcy proceeding and the victim can pursue enforcement of the judgment by registering the judgment in any county where the perpetrators live and attempt to garnish wages or collect against bank accounts. While the victim will almost certainly never collect the full amount of the judgment, it would ensure that these two little a$$wipes never forget their criminal act.
As for @HawkMachine feeling like Blume is some type of victim in this situation . . . shaking my head. JFC. His use of the phrase "sharpening a pencil" makes it seem as if . . . well, reach your own conclusion.
Seems like what happened was reported correctly.
Also looks like the school had an easy way out of this
There are several provisions in the Student Handbook that apply to the complained of conduct and anyone suggesting that the District's hands were somehow tied unless and until the criminal process wrapped up is ill-informed in those suggestions.
School can basically do whatever the hell they want with extra curricular sports I have had several wrestlers get good conduct violations over the years .This was an absolute joke on Roland Story and pathetic this kid ever stepped in the mat this year.
You might want to review the actual contents of the Student Handbook before calling anyone a "hero" in this situation.
When I get curious why I have someone on ignore it’s always reinforced after reading the previously hidden post.
Your punishment from home sounds in line with what my parents would have done. Making me responsible for my actions. They would have told me had you not put yourself in the position you did, the rest of this wouldn’t have happened.
It’s an admirable way to raise your children.
The family of a former Roland-Story student has filed a complaint with the Iowa Civil Rights Commission against the school district following a felony assault that occurred in January of 2022.
“In the state of Iowa, in order to bring a discrimination claim of any kind you have to bring a claim to the Iowa Civil Rights Commission first, allow them to go through their own investigation process and at the end they issue something that gives you the right to bring a lawsuit,”
I also found this little tidbit.
"In a separate statement, the district also addressed a rumor regarding Roland-Story High School cheerleaders. Allegedly, the cheer squad was told that, if they did not cheer for a wrestler they didn't support, they would be kicked off the team."

Sounds like the victim and his family are wiling to involve the court system to determine whether the Roland Story Community School District were actually "heroes" in this situation.

I very much try to be a "allegations are allegations" person but I'd agree that there is enough smoke here to think that it has the potential to get a bit ugly.
From what I can piece together (and it isn't based on the actual filing but on news reports - which can miss widely on the legal analysis), it appears that the victim is claiming that (a) he was sexually assaulted; (b) he and the family asked for accommodations; (c) the request for accommodations was denied; (d) he was given an ultimatum - either attend in-person school in the same classes as Blume or attend school virtually; and (e) if he had been a girl, his requests for accommodation would have been given different treatment. Hence, the ICRC complaint (disparate treatment based on sex).
In other words, the victim's lawyers will argue that the Roland Story School District would have reacted differently if Blume had sodomized a female with a pencil but, because the victim was a male, they minimized the situation and essentially forced the victim to modify his school attendance as opposed to forcing change on a two-time state wrestling champion.
If and when this case proceeds to a trial after the victim's attorneys receive a "right to sue" letter from the ICRC, they better hope that people like @HawkMachine (who apparently didn't feel like the "sharpening the pencil" incident was outrageous) don't serve on the jury.
That makes sense to me. The school appeared more concerned with appeasing the perps parents than accommodating the victim. And they don’t seem bright enough to realize the issue.
