What an idiot. a pair of shoes which probably didn’t fit him anyway. maybe it’s better that something happened now rather than later when he’s making alot of money playing a game and thinks he’s above the law. Maybe just maybe he can learn from this act of stupidity and get another chance. But only one more chance!

If this were the first or even 2nd time Parr found himself in trouble, maybe I’d think diferently. But very simply, when is enough ENOUGH? Athletics in HS is a privilege, not a right. Why would that privilege even be offered again in this instance? To rehabilitate…not much of a chance there considering what has happened in the past. Unfortunately, I will be quite surprised if he is not back on the La Vega team “leading the way”. What in the world is that going to say to the rest of his teammates and community?

First of all, IF this is true, it is truly sad. Once again though, people are crucifying without all the facts…ALLEGEDLY, I believe it says. Although I am inclined to think it is true, I’d like to be certain before I condemn him. Is it unreasonable to think he has a target on him? Any number of people would love to see him fail and be locked up…especially given the history. I’d really love for them to prove it wasn’t true, that would really shock some people. Anyway, it is a very sad thing for ANY KID, let alone one with a lot of potential, but especially for the rest of the team, school and community. If he’s out, he’s out…rest of the team will just have to move on and get the job done. Go Pirates!

It would be sad and a dang shame if Parr even contributed to the team like all the other players do. It would be a dang shame if Parr actually attended all the practices and gave 100%. Last but not least it would be a dang shame if Parr actually put his awesome talent to use. Parr is a great athlete, but by no means a great student nor role model for any of the little fans who go out to support the Pirates each week. I sure hope Coach Williams does not allow this Parr to slip by and appear back on the Pirate scene. Now the team can actually be a team without anyone trying to be the STAR on the football team and I believe the Pirates can do it without Parr. I think the team can get the job done without him.. it might be a little harder, but it is possible!

Hey Keli, You are a perfect example of why La Vega is considered un educated thugs. If you are going to represent your school and put your name on something at least have a little pride in yourself and use correct grammer. Hopefully one day you’ll realize that you are making yourself and those around you look like lower class, uneducated, idiots by writing and talking like this. I’m sure there are many good students and adults in La Vega but unfortunately those who choose to talk and act this way overshadow the good ones.

Coach Williams I just hope you keep him off the field and kick him off the team, he’s a bad seed and will effect the whole team. Maybe if he had a job he wouldn’t have to steal from people, his parents must of taught him well. Lock him up with the rest of the thugs from Bellmud thats where he needs to be.

To “He can play for the Baylor Bears” I truly hope you are being sarcastic. I assume this to be true.

If he is in need of clothing, he can get a job. He’s old enough. My sons are still in high school and in order to buy the expensive Jordans, they work. There is no way I will pay that much for a pair of tennis shoes that, by their standards, will be out of style in a couple of months.

I have dealt with this kid directly, and I’m sorry to say this, but I’m not surprised at all. It’s a shame because he has all the talent in the world. People don’t need to make excuses for this young man. I tried to do just that for a long time, and soon realized that there were none. It is time that he stop being allowed to take advantage of the coaches and staff at LaVega that have bent over backwards to help him straighten his life out. Enough is enough. No amount of talent is worth allowing a kid like this to represent your school. It is a sad situation, but trust me, this kid does not want help. He’s been offered it too many times and continued with the same behavior.

As a former LaVega student I attended school with a number of members of the Parr family. Each possesed their own ability to break each and every satndard set forth by govrened society. In this case the suspect should not get another chance becasue it will just put another inncent victim at risk. Personally I think the entire family shold be indicted to save us all the trouble of arresting them as they commit their numerous crimes. For those who think I am being racist or profiling in any way I say to you, how many times were you robbed, thretned, or did you witness a member of this family violate the law because I personally have experienced these incidents first hand on over 10 occasions. So good luck on another stent in the big house chris, but make sure not to burn too many bridges because you will be back in a short time.

People need to stop making excuses for Chris Parr. I have dealt with this kid directly, and I tried over and over again to reach him and help him turn his life around, with no success. In fact, he was the most ungrateful child I have ever dealt with. It is time that he not be allowed to take further advantage of the coaches and staff at LaVega who have bent over backwards for him. Sometimes you just have to say enough is enough. It’s not that Chris Parr has never had a chance to learn right from wrong. I tried to teach him myself. It’s that he has never had to deal with the consequences of doing wrong, and it’s about time he does. No amount of talent is worth letting this kid represent your team and school.

I would like to say that I have seen first hand the talent that Chris has. He if he would pull his head out of his a** would be a tremendous benefit to any college. But, it seems that LaVega spells team ” PARR”. There are so many talented kids on that team with big dreams of making it big. To the rest of the young men on that team hold your head high and keep reaching for your dreams. If Coach Williams is to play Chris that would surely tell the community and the boys who work hard and give 100% that Coach Williams is only interested in Parr. I would like to wish the rest of the team the best of luck in this season and stay healthy and get your education not probation.

For the record, this is by far not the first mistake Chris Parr has ever made. This GROWN MAN, yes, grown man (he’s 18) has been in trouble with the police for years now. He has been a career criminal for alot longer than most of you know. Congratulations to Bellmead PD and Chief Harold for finally placing a publice nuisance where he belongs. Parr has been terrorizing the citizens of the east side of Bellmead for the past two years. Now we don’t have to worry about a “thug” running around sticking guns in our faces for our clothing. And the other students that posted comments on here are the reason that LaVega has the “uneducated thug” reputation that it has. Looks like Bellmead hasn’t changed a bit.

I think that this is a very unfortunate situation and I will first say that you are innocent until proven guilty. The alleged victim of this situation I will say if it actually happened Chris deserves exactly what he gets because it is wrong. I think that there is a bigger picture here and I think that Chris is also a victim because he is a outstanding football player and I don’t think that he is getting the guidance that he needs to deal with the notarity that he is getting. Alot of times athletes think that they can do what they want to do when they are “STARS” because “adults” allow them to feel as if they don’t have to pay for what they do. I think it is his responsibility to better his life and make good decisions but it is also the parents, the educators at the school, coaches, ministers, and the community as well should take responsibility as well. Last year you could not beat the community boosting Chris up because he was needed (no matter what you say now) to get to the playoffs and now that this alleged incident has happened then “everyone” listed above wants to throw him to the wolves. That’s the way it normally goes. I will say again that if he did this he is wrong and should pay for what he did but maybe this is a lesson learned not to just Chris but people that is involved in other athletes life who are troubled. “Chris” to you I say that if you are guilty then if you feel as if everyone else has failed you then when you have noone else you always have God. People are always subject to let you down but God will never fail you. May God Bless You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At CS, he would be a work horse and the white boys would get all the credit for it. I know for a fact at the state game last year a black senior did not play one minute of the game but had been in the paper before with an interception helping them get to state so he’d be better off getting out of jail and going back where he’d get credit for his work.

It is time for him to retire. It is also time the mayor and city manager look into cleaning up the problems of this area for all the good people who do live here.

No one thought it was fair but no one did anything about it because he was such a big football star. He has no respect for others and obviously no respect for himself. I’m really glad that he’s behind bars. It’s people like him that give LaVega the horrible reputation we have. I personaly he sorry for him. He had so much potentional. He could’ve went to any college he wanted for free but he threw that all away. Great job Coach Williams. You sure know how to keep your boys out of trouble. ha.

I would love to believe that Chris could change his ways if he were just given a chance, but I know personally that he has been given so many, and taken advantage of them all. This is a kid that brags about the horrible things he does. Maybe he wasn’t taught right from wrong at home, but he’s been in a school system FULL of people who have tried to teach him the difference, and he just doesn’t care. I used to believe that you could change every kid if you just loved them and showed them a better way, and unfortunately, Chris taught me different. Sometimes, people really just don’t want to do the right thing, even when they know full well what it is, and that, I’m afraid, is what we have in this young man. You can say “alleged” all day, but if you know Chris at all, you know this is all too familiar. I hate it. It’s a waste. It’s a sad, sad thing, but it is what it is, and it’s time he has to deal with it.

This just shows how ignorant once again how people can be! Why would someone with so much potential do something so stupid! And to top it off it would be the LV fans to be in denial about the whole thing! Im pretty sure ALL of BELLMEAD knows exactly how Parr is! Its not a big shock to me at all! Your football team is going to be just fine! And for whoever that was that said “keep thuggin”. You wonder why people prejudge you. Your just making yourself, community, and your school look very bad! Stop, Think, and Grow up! Theres a time to be serious and a time to goof off…This is not the time to say stuff like that! Because Parr has so much potential I really hope he learns from this situation! He could really make it big! Im really praying for him and his family!

Half you people should be arrested for using less than first grade language. It can’t be that cool being that STUPID!!!!!!

You are indeed a danger to society. Or at least a keyboard. Your teachers should be proud.

I think I just got dumber by reading some of these posts. I mean, some of them are so ridiculous I think they are plants. Seriously.

As for a 3.6 GPA….well, if they were teaching me my primary colors as a Senior in high school, I’d like to think I’d be doing pretty good as well! Obama in ‘08! Ha. What a joke.

Say bro.i dont know what to say man.you made a big mistake with this one. Don’t give up yet.the media is only telling so much. I wished they knew the facts.he does not deserve criticism like this. Real talk..whatever happened..happened. He made a mistake [[like who doesnt]], it just so happens he is a star athlete. Keep yo head up bro .prey for the best.and dont worry about all these fakes. They are a prime example of racial profiling. Chris might be a thug. that doesnt mean downgrade my bro like that…..

As a LV parent & fan this is very unfortunate for all parties involved. To my understanding there is a prior history with C.Parr, another family member & this victim. Nevertheless, we all have to take responsibilty for our OWN actions and choose wisely. My prayers are with the victim & his family, C.Parr & his family, and our LV football players & Coaches. With that said, the Beat Goes On. One monkey does not stop a show! There are several other really good football players on the team that can help us win STATE such as “AB” Aaron Brandon, an awesome runningback who gave us a taste of what he can do during both the CS & Gatesville scrimmage. To name a few more we have QB Danzel Wilson, middle linebacker “CJ” Willis, WR Daxton Swanson, CB Chad Ward & many others. We have to believe in ALL of the players b/c circumstances will come and we cannot afford to put our faith in only 1 player. It’s a TEAM! And it takes a TEAM to WIN. CALLING ALL PLAYERS & COACHES….KEEP YOUR HEAD UP, YOUNG MEN COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS BY WALKING IN YOUR CALLING. If you feel you were born to be a football player then Let’s play some ball! NOW MAKE IT HAPPEN! Love you guys, stay focus & believe it or not C.Parr would want you to continue on, it would make him proud. And to Coach Williams sometimes you just have to have tough love, for some this is the only way we learn. Be Stern, Be Fair & Be a Man of your Word by treating all of “your boys” as equals. In God’s eyes there are NO BIG I’s and little u’s. Much Love & Respect.

* TO ALL THE PREJUDICE OBVIOUSLY WHITE PEOPLE POSTING DUMBA$$ REMARKS: There are so many of you who act, dress, *try to talk, try to sing, try to rap, try to dance like BLACKS it’s unreal. I live in CS and guess what you all ride up & down the streets blasting rap & R&B all the time. So, tell me whose really a Thug? Just b/c you can hide behind your money or your parents money doesn’t mean your life isn’t as raggedy as the lower class blacks if not worse. And guess what else, your children are the most disrespectful children on earth. They talk to their parents as if they were absolutely nothing & to you all it’s okay. It’s not being dierespectful or thuggish, they’re just expressing themselves. “Way to go for freedom of speech” Whatever. Just keep your dumb comments b/c being a thug is not a race it’s a way of living that every race has an issue with.

I can’t understand why anyone would be shocked or surprised by typical Bellmead mentality. And hey Pirate Parent and Fan. You’re a bit too primed and ready to throw the race flag on this play. Nobody has yet to mention the tribal mentality that obviously over ruled common sense here.

This kid is a sad story. Hopefully he can get his life together. However, his football story is over. Hes going to jail, and he should. Hes a menace. Hopefully he can figure out something else to do with his life.
