Robert Champion, a 26 year old student at FAMU, died after a hazing on a band bus. Charges are to be filed on Wednesday. The ritual hazing consisted of the pledges trying to run from the front of the bus to the back of the bus while being punched, kicked, and assaulted by seniors. He died within an hour of the hazing due to multiple blunt traumas to his body.
I think the band members that assaulted this guy should be severely punished. They should definitely be kicked out of school and put in jail. I also think the students that sat by and watched the whole thing happen. I'm sure that out of the 100 band members on the bus, one of them was friends with this student, and they didn't say anything to stop the brutality. You hear about things like this happening in sororities and fraternities, but people don't expect things like this to happen with band students. This just kind of showed me that there can be cruel people in any clique or group.
