This is for Jeremy Beau and his recent comments directed toward the Notre Dame Security Police (NDSP). For those of you who missed his commentary, it boils down to this: he and some friends of his broke a bunch of rules set down by the University (and one local ordinance) and was irked by the audacity the NDSP showed in attempting to enforce these rules.

If your goal was to come off sounding like a spoiled, trust fund brat who requires that he get his way, then congratulations. You fit the mold. You did things you knew were wrong and were punished in not unexpected ways. I do not endorse the NDSP as the pinnacle of law enforcement, but this is not about them. It is about you, and your decision to consider yourself better than all those who follow simple rules, rules such as where you are permitted to park. The simple fact that you got not one, but three tickets for parking in a visitor's lot demonstrates that either you're not too bright, or you think you're important enough to park next to signs that, for you, read "Do Not Park Here Or You Will Get A Ticket."

You ought to work these things out for yourself and quit your whining.
