English 101.
The son of Barry Bonds does not hold the lifetime or single season home run record. Some might argue neither should Mr Bonds.

Steroids are wonderful things. Well except for the shrinking testicles and violent outbursts, but other than that.....

Sounds like a nice family. I guess all those partys with underage drinking didn't work out that well.

Interesting that some of the most violent crimes in MP happen from our own residents, contrary to those who think that "drive through" traffic is the problem.

Wow! This poor kid is a victim of the media. His father was villified and it clearly has rubbed off on him. Shame on the media.

Hey - I grew up in Los Altos Hills the daughter of a prominent Cardiologist. We had this kind of thing too and none of us were famous and none of us were involved with the media. This is a family issue and sometimes insane things happen with teenagers and hormones. Leave the family alone - it sounds like they have enough to sort out. Good for his mother for pressing charges and taking the tough love route!!!!

If you are a friend of the family, you should contact them to offer your support. If you're offended by the existence of this thread, don't open it. But don't come on here with the intent of preaching sanctimoniously to those of us who prefer to gossip. That's why this thread is here, so we can dissect and deplore the debauched lives of the somewhat famous.

Your comment made me laugh out loud! Very true. I get tired of reading the sanctimonious posts, intended to chastise those of us who aer critical about drunk drivers who die at the wheel, stupid, horrible violent crimes and plain stupid criminals.
