I don't know. Lehigh kids are typically pretty smart and well-off. That school costs a fortune.

Just seemed strange to me.

I dunno.

And the parents of the kids are the ones paying for it.

Here's the reason:

QuoteHogan, the son of a Baptist minister, was picked up at his fraternity house later that evening and charged with robbery, theft by unlawful taking and receiving stolen property.

What is the difference between "robbery" and "unlawful taking"?       ???

Robbery:is the crime of seizing property through violence or intimidation.

Unlawful Taking: Theft by unlawful taking or disposition.

    (a) Movable property.--A person is guilty of theft if he unlawfully takes, or exercises unlawful control over, movable property of another with intent to deprive him thereof.

    (b) Immovable property.--A person is guilty of theft if he unlawfully transfers, or exercises unlawful control over, immovable property of another or any interest therein with intent to benefit himself or another not entitled thereto.

I think the distinction is that the act is unlawful taking, and robbery is the means.
An ad hominem fallacy consists of asserting that someone's argument is wrong and/or he is wrong to argue at all purely because of something discreditable/not-authoritative about the person or those persons cited by him rather than addressing the soundness of the argument itself.
