...under a new felony hazing law.

Felony hazing? So a frat pledge got his ass spanked by a wooden paddle (the article fails to mention the extent of his 'injuries'), and these guys are now convicted felons?

Is there any doubt that our government wants to make us all criminals? What are the two things convicted felons can't do, boys and girls? Vote and own a gun, the only two ways to dispose corrupt politicians.

With each new law the politicians pass to make crimes felonies, they tighten their grip over us.

It does say that he passed out.

The local press covered this more extensively - the pledge needed surgery to repair the injuries he received from this "paddling." This went way beyond a hazing stunt, which is usually meant to be embarrassing and perhaps uncomfortable, but which should not be so bad that another person has to be standing by (as even this article mentions) to revive the pledge when he passes out from the pain. What is described here as "paddling" was clearly more on the order of one of the more gruesome punishments in the Muslim world, where people are literally caned to death.

CANES - not a paddle. Big difference. Caning is used as legal punishment in some Asian countries because it is like WHIPPING. The pledge in this case passed out from the pain. Just how hard do you think the caning was inflicted by these hazers?

Because the article does not describe the injuries therefore the government is out to get us?
