This article is from ESPN news. Here is it, with my thoughts in CAPS:Buffalo Bills running back Marshawn Lynch pled guilty Thursday to a misdemeanor charge of carrying a firearm in his vehicle.
FUNNY HOW HE PLED GUILTY AND HE WASN'T EVEN THERE. HIS ATTORNEY PROBABLY TOLD HIM NOT TO BE THERE, BECAUSE USUALLY WHEN THESE CRAP-BAGS OF SOCIETY SHOW UP IN COURT THEY WEAR XXXXL WHITE T-SHIRTS, BLUE JEANS, AND THE TIMBERLAND BOOTS (WHICH IS CONSIDERED COURT ATTIRE FOR GANGBANGERS). GOOD MOVE BY THE DEFENSE.
Lynch was sentenced to 80 hours of community service and three years of probation.
AWESOME. THE 80 HOURS OF COMMUNITY SERVICE HE WILL PROBABLY BE ABLE TO COMPLETE THIS YEAR, BUT THE THREE YEARS OF PROBATION ... NOT A CHANCE.
Attorney Gerald Schwartzbach entered the plea for Lynch in a Los Angeles court Thursday. Two other gun charges were dismissed as part of a pre-arranged plea agreement. The 22-year-old Lynch was not present.
Lynch was arrested Feb. 11 after surburban Culver City Police smelled marijuana coming from a parked car and found a loaded gun and four marijuana cigarettes inside. No drug charges were filed.
FUNNY HOW THE SCUMBAG DEFENSE ATTORNEY STRIKES A DEAL WITH STATE PROSECUTORS TO DROP TWO GUN CHARGES AND POSSESSION OF MARIJUANA CHARGES IN EXCHANGE FOR A GUILTY PLEA FOR ONE GUN CHANGE. MAKES ME SICK. THE GUY BEATS TWO GUN CHARGES AND A DRUG CHARGE IN EXCHANGE FOR PLEADING GUILTY TO ONE GUN CHARGE AND GETS COMMUNITY SERVICE AND PROBATION AS A RESULT. SERIOUSLY! IF THAT WERE YOU, ME OR THE NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR, WE'D FACE ALL FOUR CHARGES - NO QUESTION.
"Today I pled guilty to a misdemeanor violation of having a firearm in a vehicle," Lynch said in a statement. "I am embarrassed by my recent arrest and conviction. I deeply regret that I placed myself in this situation."
SURE YOU ARE. THIS STATEMENT WAS PREPARED BY HIS ATTORNEY AND ALL LYNCH DID WAS SIGN OFF ON IT. I AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF THIS TACTIC. WHY NOT HOLD A LIVE PRESS CONFERENCE AND DELIVER THE STATEMENT FROM YOUR HEART? LOOK AT HOW HE IS SURE TO STATE THAT IT IS A MISDEMEANOR VIOLATION AND NOT A FELONY ... AND FOR "HAVING A FIREARM IN A VEHICLE." REALLY IT WAS FOR CARRYING A CONCEALED WEAPON. THIS CRIMINAL PROBABLY HAD THE GUN IN THE FIRST PLACE BECAUSE HE WENT OUT WITH HIS "HOMIES" TO PURCHASE THE DRUGS FROM A DEALER. SO THE GUN WAS FOR PROTECTION BECAUSE HE WAS GOING TO MEET UP WITH PEOPLE WHO SLANG DOPE AND ROB PEOPLE FOR A LIVING.
AND IS HE REALLY "EMBARRASSED," OR IS HE HAVING HIS ATTORNEY PACKAGE TOGETHER ALL THESE WORDS ("REGRET") IN AN EFFORT TO LESSEN THE PENALTY HANDED DOWN BY THE NFL?
"I have made mistakes in the past. Although I have learned many lessons over recent years, I obviously had not learned enough. I apologize to my family, the Buffalo Bills organization, my teammates, the Buffalo community, and Commissioner [Roger] Goodell. I have already learned from this recent mistake and am sincerely committed to being a more responsible citizen and better representative of the NFL."
I'M SORRY, BUT WORDS LIKE "LEARNED," "APOLOGIZE," "COMMUNITY," "MISTAKE," "SINCERELY," "RESPONSIBLE," "CITIZEN," AND "REPRESENTATIVE," ARE NOT IN MARSHAWN LYNCH'S VOCABULARY.
Schwartzbach said Lynch could have pleased no contest but chose to plead guilty.
WOW, REALLY?! HE ALSO COULD HAVE ELECTED TO PLEAD INNOCENT. BUT IF HE HAD PLED INNOCENT OR NO CONTEST, HE WOULD HAVE FACED FOUR CHARGES INSTEAD OF ONE.
ALL THE STATE ATTORNEYS WANT IS A CONVICTION. AND IF THEY CAN GET ANYONE TO PLEAD GUILTY TO A CHARGE, THEY WILL DO ALL THEY CAN TO STRIKE SOME KIND OF DEAL. SO SCHWARTZBACH'S STATEMENT OF HOW LYNCH COULD HAVE PLEADED NO CONTEST IS JUST ANOTHER LOW-BALL ATTEMPT TO MAKE HIS CLIENT LOOK BETTER THAN HE ACTUALLY IS IN THE FACE OF THE PUBLIC.
THE FIRST THING LYNCH NEEDS TO DO IS UPDATE HIS NFL PROFILE PIC. BECAUSE THAT THING MAKES HIM LOOK LIKE THE DYSFUNCTIONAL MEMBER OF SOCIETY THAT HE IS.
RIGHT NOW, IN MY EYES AND PROBABLY IN MANY OTHERS', LYNCH IS NO DIFFERNET THAN ALL THE POOR THUGS WHO SPEND THEIR MONEY ON MATERIAL THINGS LIKE (AS I SAID IN THE EARLIER POST ON THIS MATTER) CARS SITTING ON A SET OF $20,000 RIMS, DRUGS AND GUNS, AND IF THEY ARE LUCKY, MAYBE A MANSION OR TWO ... OH YEAH, AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN CHILD SUPPORT.
TO QUOTE MY PREVIOUS POST:
"SO MAYBE IF THEIR PRIORITIES WERE STRAIGHT THEY WOULDN'T BE CAUGHT IN THE SITUATIONS THEY ARE SO FREQUENTLY BEING CAUGHT IN. I MEAN, IS IT REALLY NECESSARY FOR A MILLIONAIRE TO HANG OUT AT A DINGY STRIP CLUB AT 3 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING?"
OR DRIVE AROUND THE TOWN WITH GUNS AND DRUGS IN YOUR CAR, TOKING IT UP?
"WHY NOT THROW A POLE OR TWO IN YOUR MANSION AND HAVE THE GUYS OVER, HIRE SOME DANCERS, THEN DRINK YOUR LIQUOR," SMOKE YOUR POT, "AND HAVE YOUR LAP DANCES IN-HOUSE?
"THAT'D BE MUCH SMARTER THAN BEE-BOPPIN' UP AND DOWN THE STREETS LIKE THE 'BANGERS WEARING BLACK HOODIES WITH THEIR PANTS SAGGIN HALFWAY DOWN THEIR ASSES SLANGING ROCKS AND BREAKING INTO CARS."
I'M DISGUSTED.
