And a lesson for all involved in hazing. If you’re there when a hazing goes real wrong, your life goes REAL wrong. Bystander who did nothing to stop Robert Champion’s beating death now wants to be set free of felony charge. A lesson for bystanders everywhere. Assuming bystander/bandstander Ryan Dean’s claim is true. Uhhuh. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/breakingnews/os-famu-hazing-champion-ryan-dean-20121025,0,7391566.story
