He paid for his crime through the court system. I don't think the organization can just take something back just because they changed their minds about the recipient's moral character...unless some sort of contract was in place that stated the terms of the gift. If the charity owns the house that's one thing, but if le is in the soldier's name already, I don't see that they can just take it back.
Where's FWD when you need him?
lmao, I bet you laugh your ass off when ripe opportune posts like that come up.
Only half the time.
Good job reading the article a few of you. He did not sell weed. His friend brought it with him and they smoked it.
Be nice Bigzak.
This sucks.
That is what I would have said. There must have been a reason why he pleaded guilty. Those damn court appointed attorneys.
If you fight and lose you might end up with a huge sentence. If you plead guilty to a lesser charge you can negotiate the sentence. In his case he was a first time offender. In most states the first offense is typically probation. Especially for the small amount he had. Which is exactly how it ended up.
...pleaded guilty in December to a felony of possession with intent to distribute.
So all this because of a reporter, sounds like someone was jealous of not getting a free house of their own.
Good job not understanding the criminal justice system in the US. He copped a plea, he's guilty as charged.
In the new America, who isn't jealous of not getting a free home
It's a bit of green, for sake. Who cares? The "War on Drugs" is a freakin joke. Dope is no worse than alcohol, and to punish people for smoking it is a travesty.
It was the amount he had that enabled them to charge him with intent to sell. If it was a small amount he wouldn't have had to negotiate. But it varies from State to State.
I concur but it is the law.
Sounds a lot like that 2.5 pounds was for personal use; an over the top buy for someone who all of a sudden had $48,000/year (with no rent, no mortgage) burning a hole in his pocket. It's consistent with his other purchases (bigscreen tv, laptop, etc.). , the guy sacrificed his legs for the nation, so he's earned the right to sit around and smoke a grip of weed for a while.
Didn't I read that it wasn't even 2.5lbs, but like 12oz? Bummer.
The war on drugs is big to the same right-wingers who love this asinine war in Iraq.
Good catch. I skipped over the parenthesized part.
That is still 3/4 of a lb and enough to charge you with intent to sell.
I know it's still a lot, I'm more versed in these things than I ever cared to be ... but it's a little easier to believe that 12oz was for solely personal use than 2.5lbs would be.
I had a friend busted with <100grams who got charged with distribution based solely on the quan y.
Indeed. The same people who think that pot is the same as heroin or crack, and that MDMA is the same as ice. ing ignorant morons.
And I hate the "War On..." terminology - it's just bull dressed up to please hard right wingers who don't understand that the world is complex and full of shades of grey.
I don't support prohibition on heroin or coke either though. Way too much money to be made off it, which means way too much crime in bloody turf wars to get at those profits and way too many kids getting sucked into trying to make that quick dollar (even though it's worse than minimum wage for your typical scrub street dealer making his supplier rich).
