He's got that smirk on his face, you know, the kind where he know he has just struck gold . Now he just has to play the role all the way through until pay day! The trauma he has faced, I'm sure he will quickly forget cuz he is going to be one rich kid.

With his criminal ties and drug addiction, I only wonder how long it will be before he blows away his payout.

Sounds like you got the world figured out, what are you doing posting on this board.

Wait, he admitted to smoking weed, and they found drugs and ammunition. Are you telling me he has no ties to anything drug related? He is still probably guilty of his crimes, no?

I'm in San Diego too so after watching the TV news stories, it doesn't match what's being said on the news link. He never said in his press conference that he ate the glass. He did say that he tried to carve "I'm sorry mom" on his hand though.

If they found HIM with drugs and ammo, they would have arrested him, no?

Might as well lock up half the college population for smoking pot with friends (on 4/20 no less)

With all your worldly intelligence, one would think you'd be smart enough to realize how sensationalized the media is. Look at the Travon Martin case if your memory goes back that far. The media make up a fact one day and changes it the next. How about you just keep it simple and look at the facts--he was never arrested, and let's say that he was arrested, he was completely denied Due Process. And for him admitting to smoking weed, this has nothing to do with the story besides supporting your prejudice towards people who smoke pot.

Your argument already falls short when you start making assumptions. They fold guns and ammo and apparently ecstasy pills, whether those things belong to him has not been proven, he was over at someone else's place celebrating 420.

It's people like you that make me worry about our society--quick to jump to a biased conclusion without any credible backing or intelligence.

I also went ahead and post the wiki link to Due Process for you to read in case you missed out on learning about it in middle school American history. It may be too long of a read though, but you get the gist from reading the first paragraph.

He's a drug addict?

Didn't you learn from D.A.R.E everyone that uses drugs is an addict.

And people who use crossed out crosses as their avatars are put on ignore.

 

[ahenkel]

Awww myself and the members of Bad Religion are now upset. I know I'll go use drugs and cheer myself up.

I take it then that you're for nailing Jews to wood? That's curious stance to take, but I admire your unwillingness to conform to political correctness :^)

No, I just hate seeing that ugly hate symbol of his. I wonder how many atheists would be upset if I created an equally ugly "no atheists" avatar?

Curiously, since you've had your avatar for quite sometime Ive always wondered if it was you. So is it? :hmm:

No, that's Richard Stallman, founder of the GNU system, and the free software movement. My beard looked like his over the winter though :^D It's getting too hot for that now.

theres lots of things not adding up. regardless of whether he was guilty or not, you can't just lock someone up for 5 days and forget about them.

 

[dawp]

It's your tax-paying money that he is "winning"

I'm sure if this happened to you, you would just turn the other cheek and walk away.

He wont get all that; but he'll still, deservedly, net a whole lotta money.

Another problem with law enforcement dolling out 'punishment' is the number of dogs they kill. For many police 'stations' it's almost one dog per day.

Most don't believe this and think there'd be tons of documentation. However, even police killings of people don't get well documented historically.

The sad part is many people weren't even related to who they were looking for in anyway (wrong address usually). They've even killed dogs tied up and others just sitting wagging their tails.

There is currently a pretty big movement nationally to rectify this issue.

I also hate the dumbasses that say dumb shits like "it's your tax dollar he's winning." as if we pay less tax if he did not file the law suit. We pay the same amount of tax regardless of law suit or not you idiot.

DEA is about as corrupt as it gets. The FDA is right behind.

That isn't what that picture means. It's an anti-conformist statement more than anything. The members of Bad Religion have discussed this and stated that they are not anti-theist.

Now, whether you choose to see it that way or see it as the offensive anti-Christian symbol you originally did... the power is yours.

 

[frostedflakes]

Kind of makes you wonder what's more dangerous: Pot or the DEA? :hmm:

Messed up story.

Therefore he deserves to die without due process. Gotcha.

He also called crosses ugly.

 

[Anonemous]

kinda makes you wonder, how come no one filed a missing person's report? He was 'missing' for 5 days? And he missed his midterms, wouldn't a friend/family notice he's gone?

Comparing the dangers of pot to the damage the DEA does on a daily basis is kind of like comparing a kitten to the mafia.
