Chung cocaine indictment?

Joker said:

What? Chung arrested for ? cocaine on a table?? KILL HIM!!! STRING HIM UP!!! I, Social Justice Warrior-ker, demand swift and SEVERE punishment.Guys like this will RUIN the game!!! Ain't that right, Hollywood Henderson?

meanwhile, in the real world, I just wanna smash every single stupid azzed media punk that cannot STFU about what amounts to a "who gives a ****" off the field incident in June. It's as if these media punk shytheads on EEI and the Sports Rub never heard of freakin' Lawrence Taylor, never mind 50% of the NY Jete roster the past decade. Little freakin' breathless girls trapped in men's bodies. So sick of these whiny jerkoffs and their "hot takes".

You have to realize a large part of the media are incompetent people who have nothing to say that will get anyone’s attention. So they sit in edit of something that is negative about a well known person that they can sensationalize to get someone to listen.

That’s not good. Hoe did they threaten the jury?

The district attorney (paraphrasing) said if you don’t think he’s guilty, you’re going against the police (because you think he was set up). You’d have to hear how he said it, but it sounded like a pretty clear threat.

It’s a powerful card to play. It manifests with the military as well.

People can respect (in the macro sense) both groups of people while also realizing that at the micro scale, both groups of people contain individuals unworthy of respect or admiration.

Nuance is gone. Broad strokes only need apply.

As I’ve said before here on more than one occasion, there’s a reason cops (even in a friend/off duty context) aren’t allowed in my house.

If I call them for help or they have a warrant, sure. Otherwise, Team Drewski is all set.

More so the case with opiods, meth, and cheap heroin, if you truly mean "everyone" as a slice of society.

Was visiting our old home town in NH recently and bumped into an old friend who has adopted a heroin baby simply because there were more of them born (to addicted Moms) in that particularly town than non addicted Moms.

I am assuming you were 21 by then. The question was in comparison to everyone breaking the law, making it ok to do so. And while this is true for college goers, and no cops are arresting anyone in college for being in possession of alcohol, we’re definitely not there yet with cocaine. With marijuana actually we might get there as more states legalize it though it remains illegal at federal level.

Maybe I am misreading that, and I can't speak for everyone, but Amherst cops absolutely arrest UMass students for being in possession of alcohol (assuming you are underage).

Do you think cops break up parties and just let everyone go home?

Federal prosecutors win about 97% of the time because they will throw multiple charges at a defendant and they choose to take a plea for one of the lesser charges rather than risk a millennium in jail.

Yeah, no. I'm not saying they don't overcharge, but that happens in state court too. I've tried criminal cases in various Superior Courts in Georgia and I've tried criminal cases in the Northern District of Georgia. They are worlds apart. When you're in federal court the assistant US attorneys all graduated near the top of their law school classes and the main witnesses may be FBI special agents. The witnesses from the FBI crime lab are top notch. They have unlimited resources to throw at you and meticulously prepare their cases. Contrast that with state court where the ADAs are overworked and underpaid, and the cops are a quantum leap down from the FBI. It's a different world. It's really, really difficult to win a case in federal court. In the state courts it's more of a fair fight.

Yeah, but that rate of victory is a little disturbing. The Chinese would be impressed.

PittPatriot said:

Hypothetical:
So if he has a little vial of the powdery substance (the kind finance guys have in their suit pockets at parties) sitting on his kitchen counter when the police showed up to answer the tripped alarm, it qualifies for “possession of an illegal substance- felony, possible 3 years in jail????”

Has any of the Chung reporting mentioned quantity size?

I'm old enough that the drinking age was 18 back then and the breweries brought beer trucks onto campus to give out free beer*. Obviously there wasn't the awareness of binge drinking that there is today.................

*If you consider Genessee beer ......

Maybe I'm being naive, but it would be disappointing for a family man with an inquisitive 8 year old son running around poking through things to have coke laying around, that wouldn't be a very good example for his son. I am hopeful that this is a case of Chung giving some friends a stay at the beach house who brought something they shouldn't that was discovered by police when the security alarm went off. One can only hope.

That's a nice straw man.

Never took a prescription? Those damn things are often times worse than "drugs".

Just a random question that one would think would have been asked by now. Anyone figure out WHY the alarm went off?????

Just sayin'

Not even the greatest gateway drug of them all, alcohol?
