Good news is I have the Cubs to fall back on, they never let me down.

Thanks, I really needed that laugh right now!

Getting busted with some pot isn't the same as Intent to Distribute, though. IF, that's what's going on here.

We don't want to speculate too much, or this thread will go bye bye!!

Though on the other hand, there could be a difference in magnitude.

There is a big difference between rape and assault,
versus something like underage drinking or getting busted with pot.

I agree... but I don't want to start making excuses by saying, "well, at least they didn't rape or hurt anyone... at least they were just selling drugs. That's not too bad."

They got arrested, they broke the law, they are supposed to be role models for young Panther fans. I personally know a few young kids who adore Johnny Gray. Now their parents have to tell them why he isn't playing anymore. As a new parent myself, I understand now more than I used to how disappointing that is. Luckily, my baby doesn't understand yet that he was wearing Johnny's number every weekend.

Like Chippewa said, remember that they're only being investigated at this point.

Also, there's difference between possesion of drugs and dealing drugs (assuming that's what this is about). Smoking dope is stupid but not the same as dealing it.

That said, nobody really knows what's going on, so don't get too worked up about it right now...

IIRC, possession over a certain amount triggers an "intent" charge. Now if they were being investigated for dealing, that's a different story.

I know, its just a bummer.

You know that glimpse of the future we got in the 4th quarter last week? We may need some of those guys to step up sooner than we originally thought.

Maybe this will be a rallying point for the rest of the guys, and only add to the lore of the Panthers first national championship team.

I think they should just legalize that crap.
I don't have any first hand experience with it, but from second hand observations, it's certainly no worse than alcohol. Yet alcohol has widespread acceptance.

But that's a whole other matter.

You cannot replace experience.

No argument from me there.

I just simply don't think the sky is falling. My guess is that the big difference will be how much the starters (with the possible exception of Swift, Ruffin, and Lewis) will play this week and next.

Correct. It's like the difference between getting caught with a can of Bud(weiser) in your hand, and hosting a kegger.

I could not agree more. Plus it would take up less space in our prisons. People dealing pot get 20 years and that Heemstra guy who killed his neighbor got 6 or 7.

This country is messed up.

Yeah if you have over a certain amount of drugs you get intent to distribute. I have to wonder if the police had a warrant though, why they would just get posession. Usually a warrant means they have been investigating this thing for a while.

And who is to say that 'if' this is what was really going on it wasn't just one person in the house, but since they all live there they all get charged.

Who is to say it was only pot?

Just playing a little devils advocate here.

Do you suppose Johnny tried to spin away from the cops and then just fell down as he was cuffed?



















































Sorry...

Don't be sorry... I liked it.
