we do draw a line here. and this guy crossed it!
O.K. so yesterday we posted a story that got us a couple of e-mails—how they got my email address I’ll never know but 3 e-mails came in. A highlight of one of the e-mails…
E-Mail
fucking moron.
Relax guy.
So here we are to redeem ourselves. Unlike yesterday’s story about innocent tobacco, alcohol and porn consumption this one is just sick…8 years is not enough.
CNN
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — A teenager shown on a video coaxing his 2- and 4-year-old nephews into smoking marijuana was sentenced Thursday to eight years in prison.
The video shows one teen lighting a marijuana cigarette in the 2-year-old’s mouth, then laughing as the toddler coughs. One teen then tells him to pass it to his brother, who also smokes it and coughs. Parts of the video showed someone calling the children “potheads” and asking if they “have the munchies.”
Drug tests showed the youngsters had marijuana and cocaine in their bodies. When the video was made, the children’s mother was sleeping in another room, police have said. She was not arrested.
The children, their mother, grandmother and McCoy lived together at the time. The children have since been placed in foster care.
Fort Worth police found the video while searching a house in connection with a burglary investigation in which McCoy also was charged. He pleaded guilty to two burglary charges and received eight-year sentences that he will served at the same time, the newspaper reported.
The co-defendant Vanswan Polty, 19, remains in jail awaiting trial. He faces two charges of injury to a child, three charges of burglary and one charge of failing to identify himself to a peace officer.
So we’re par for the course. Our good deed is done for at least a years time. Back to the regularly scheduled program.
Michael Vick Files for bankruptcy protection
This is all crazy to me because a judge allowed him to keep $17.5 million of his advance money even though the Falcons wanted it back. So where did that $17.5 million go? Don’t tell me this guy had $17.5 Million dollars in outstanding bills on top of what we learned today!
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Imprisoned quarterback Michael Vick filed for bankruptcy protection while serving time for federal dogfighting charges, saying he owes between $10 million and $50 million to creditors.
Vick filed Chapter 11 papers in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Newport News on Monday. The seven largest creditors listed in the court papers are owed a total of about $12.8 million.
Vick is serving a 23-month prison sentence at the U.S. Penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kan., after pleading guilty last year to bankrolling a dogfighting ring. He was subsequently suspended indefinitely without pay and lost all his major sponsors, including Nike. He also faces state charges related to dogfighting.
The suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback “will seek to rebuild his life and career” upon his release, according to the filings.
The debt includes part of a signing bonus that the Falcons are seeking to recover.
After the plea on dogfighting charges, the Falcons tried to recover about $20 million in bonuses Vick earned from 2004 to 2007. But a federal judge held that Vick is entitled to keep all but $3.75 million of the money paid to him for playing football through the 2014 season.
According to the filings, Vick’s other debts include $4.5 million owed to Richmond-based Joel Enterprises Inc., and $550,0000 owed to Radtke Sports Inc. for breach of contract.
In May, a federal judge ordered Vick to repay about $2.5 million to a Canadian bank for defaulting on a loan. The Royal Bank of Canada had sued Vick in September, arguing his guilty plea to a federal dogfighting charge — and the resulting impact on his career — prevented him from repaying the loan.
A default judgment for $1.08 million also was entered in January against Vick and a business partner in a lawsuit brought by Wachovia Bank over a loan for an Atlanta-area wine shop and restaurant.
Taking loans from Canadian banks? Is that normal? Or had he tapped out every American bank. Were the Canadians the only ones stupid enough to give him a loan based on future NFL contracts? Or did Vick take out the loan despite his HUGE NFL advance. Maybe he just “forgot” to pay it back.
Michael better be taking his weight conditioning seriously while in prison because an NFL backup career is probably his only shot at being able to live comfortably once again.
