Yea... then everyone from here to Houston will know that you can get away with using a fake id at the casino and only get a warning! It's not just Fournette the casino has to worry about!

Finally someone who gets it.

A basic flowchart for the idiots that don't:

--Casinos make money. Lots of it.
--Casinos would like to continue making money.
--Casinos get in big trouble when they don't follow rules.
--Casinos are followed very closely by the state police.
--When some jackass underage person (not Lanard specificially, but any one) tries to break the rules, the casino must show that person and persons everywhere that they don't frick around with the rules and that there WILL be consequences.
--Casinos then can continue to make more money from lawful consumers.

These arrests probably happen more than you would think; the only reason it hit the papers was because it was an LSU athlete.

Hopefully Lanard learned a lesson and hopefully the public knows that casinos can't afford to "just give warnings" to underage gamblers.
