WILKES-BARRE, Pa. -A student at a northeastern Pennsylvania Roman Catholic college has apologized for urinating on a public nativity scene. The student, 22, said Monday he "was being a drunken idiot" a day earlier when he urinated on the nativity scene in Wilkes-Barre's public square.

He was charged with public drunkenness, indecent exposure, open lewdness and desecration of venerated objects. He said he plans to plead guilty at a Jan. 20 preliminary hearing.

The student met with officials King's College in Wilkes-Barre on Monday. A school spokesman said he faces punishment ranging from a warning to expulsion.

He has vowed to quit drinking.

What the hell is wrong with kids these days? I've done some pretty drunken and pretty sacrilegious things in my day but I stopped short at peeing on a nativity scene. Of course the only nativity scene I know of is the live one at my church and I don't think the wise men and shepherds would stand still during that. They don;t have that kind of dedication not to break character. Maybe the donkey would.

So this kid screwed up but that's no reason to quit the game of drink. What you did was bad kid but I've seen worse. Heck, the guy in the manger that you peed on has seen a lot worse. Dahmer ate people. All you did was pee on some plastic statues. Chin up.
