Community Service Deadline For Korean Minor Leaguer who Killed Bird is Upheld by Judge |
Some people may recall the case of a Korean minor league player that was hurling balls at endangered birds and succeeded in blasting the nesting bird with fastball. Well, it seems that he is not completing his 100 hours of community service and has asked the judge for an extension. The judge refused and upheld the deadline set at the end of February 2004.
Here is a take on the story from sports talk guy Jim Rome:
Jae Kuk Ryu, a minor leaguer in the Chicago Cubs

system is going to have to perform 100 hours of community service, and is not going to be able to buy his way out of the punishment. Ryu was the clown who intentionally threw a baseball at an Osprey at the ballpark in Florida. The Osprey is a protected species and the guy was sentenced to 100 hours of community service as a punishment. His lawyer was hoping that Ryu could just pay a fine and not have to serve the time. Nope. The judge ruled that he needed to do the 100 hours and that he has to finish the time before the end of February.
He is in Korea, and the judge would not grant him an extension. If he doesn’t complete the time, the state can pursue additional penalties. Hey Ryu, I suggest you catch the next plane out of South Korea and get your ass to Florida. Go get your orange jumpsuit, your pointy stick and trash bag and start picking up garbage on the side of the road. Just because you are a ball player, that doesn’t give you a free pass to kill birds in your spare time.
And I would imagine that is an interesting conversation on the plane from Korea to Florida. ‘Going back to spring training?’ Nope, I’m headed back to fulfill my community service for killing a bird. I get to pick up trash for 100 hours.’ Well-played Ryu.

I concur. Shut up, stop throwing balls at endangered birds, stop giving your country a bad name, and do your community service. Jerk. |
