Face-off: Should you be arrested for giving alcohol to a minor?
Former Northwestern student Alexander Krzyston appears in court next week on charges that he gave alcohol to Matthew Sunshine on the night the SESP freshman died.
We asked students at Norris whether they thought a student should be held responsible if they provide alcohol to a minor who later dies.

Krzyston deserves a medal for helping out a kid who needed to get wasted

If you yourself have ever purchased or drunk alcohol while underage, then to say that he should be arrested is to say that you and the person who supplied you should also be arrested. In fact, you become an accessory to crime merely by witnessing underage drinking, whether you’ve had anything to drink yourself or not. What Krzyston did is no different from what 85% of students here do every weekend (and week days as well). There is no reason why he should be singled out solely because of Sunshine’s irresponsible actions. To claim otherwise is nothing short of flat-out hypocrisy.

Anonymous–just saw your comment: “Krzyston deserves a medal for helping out a kid who needed to get wasted.” Do you mean he ‘needed’ to get drunk or to die? But I guess it doesn’t matter–because tragically he did die and there are consequences for people who ‘helped’ him do so.
