4 charged in beating death of two deer

AP/Houston Chronicle:

Four members of the Iraan High School football team accused in the beating deaths of two deer trapped on a baseball field will spend 88 days of the spring semester in an off-campus disciplinary program.

The school district's superintendent says the boys will be allowed to play football in the fall, when they are expected to return to normal student status.

After the deer were found dead on the baseball field earlier this month, each of the students was cited on a charge of hunting deer with illegal means and hunting deer in closed season since the beatings allegedly happened at night.

...

All face up to $500 fines on two Class C misdemeanor counts when they meet with Pecos County Justice of the Peace Cathy Ervine and Davis for a plea hearing Jan. 8, the Odessa American reported for its Saturday editions.

...

Iraan, a community of about 1,100, is about 115 miles southwest of San Angelo, just west of the Crockett County line.

The name of the town is pronounced Ira-Ann which comes from the first names of the couple who founded it. It sounds like they have some tough football players.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
