Does this constitute police brutality? Is THIS what Kaepernick is fighting against? Doesn't say if this oppression was against a minority or not...
Greg Hardy told police someone slipped cocaine in his wallet September 27, 2016by Steve DelVecchio Leave a Comment Greg Hardy Greg Hardy was arrested for possession of cocaine in Texas over the weekend, but the former Dallas Cowboys defensive end claims the drugs were not his. According to a police report obtained by NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth, officers discovered 0.7 grams of cocaine in a wallet in Hardy?s car after a routine traffic stop. Hardy admitted the wallet was his, which makes sense because it probably had his ID and credits cards inside. However, he claimed he had no idea the little baggy was in there. Hardy?s excuse? Someone must have slipped the coke in his wallet during a party. He told the officer that he didn?t know what the substance was and said he believed he got it while he was at a party Saturday night, according to police. Hardy said he passed his wallet around at the party because he was paying for everybody, and he said that must have been when someone put the substance in his wallet. We can file that one under ?Worst Excuses We?ve Ever Heard for Drug Possession.? Even if Hardy was being a nice guy and buying people stuff at the party, why on earth would he just let people pass his wallet around? He wouldn?t. Hardy was given a second chance with the Cowboys last season, and he blew it both on and off the field. In addition to being a headache in the locker room, the details that emerged about his domestic violence case made the 28-year-old virtually unemployable. Now that he also has a drug arrest on his record, Hardy can probably kiss any future he may have had in the NFL goodbye.
Greg Hardy gives dumbass's everywhere a bad name...He's in a league all his own. ...Plus, if I remember correctly, this is Hardy's second appearance on this thread, which speaks for itself... *CRAZY*
Based on a new report, Josh Gordon?s decision to enter rehab may not have been as innocent as it has been made to appear. According to Lane Adkins of Orange and Brown Report, the troubled Cleveland Browns receiver tried smuggling nearly a pound of marijuana onto a plane recently. ?According to sources, Gordon entered Cleveland Hopkins Airport via an underground entrance and was escorted to the upper level to pass through security for his flight. He was accompanied by a member of his security detail. A TSA representative on the upper level recognized Gordon and his security from the below ground level just moments prior. Due to the strange nature of Gordon being shuffled through the airport, the TSA pulled Gordon aside, checked baggage in the possession of he and his security and found what our source tells us was nearly one pound of pot in their possession.? Adkins further reports that Gordon immediately tried to blame his security detail, saying the weed was not his. The TSA is continuing to investigate this case and is reviewing video surveillance to determine the correct course of action going forward, per the report. Before this incident, Gordon was on his last leg with the NFL. He had been suspended the entire 2015 season and the first four games of 2016 after being conditionally reinstated this summer. If he is found to be culpable in this case, then Gordon is likely done as a potential NFL player. He already has his third strike, and the Browns are reportedly finished with him in light of his latest episode (more on that here). Even if Gordon was somehow given one more chance to play, via the NFL, it seems unlikely that any team would be interested in bringing him in. One of the most talented receivers we?ve seen in ages, Gordon?s off-field problems far outweigh his gift for playing the game. In addition to this serious issue, Gordon recently had a warrant out for his arrest in a paternity case.
A trip to one of the nation's natural wonders ended in a unnatural tragedy. A 23-year-old Oregon man essentially dissolved inside a hot spring at Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming after he accidentally fell into it. The bizarre incident happened back in June, when Colin Nathaniel Scott went to the park with his sister to find a place to "hot pot." According to a recently released report from park officials, Scott and his sister went to an unauthorized area near the Norris Geyser. "They were specifically moving in that area for a place that they could potentially get into and soak," Deputy Chief Ranger Lorant Veress told CNN affiliate KULR. "I think they call it hot potting." Scott had reached down to check the temperature of a spring when he slipped and fell into it. Rescuers later found Scott's body inside the pool, but couldn't retrieve it because of a lighting storm in the area. When they came back the next day, no remains were found beneath the spring's churning, acidic waters. "In a very short order, there was a significant amount of dissolving," Veress said. The parks' geyers and springs are acidic because they are fed by thermal water deep underground that picks up sulfuric acid as it rises to the surface. The sulfuric acid is produced by microorganisms that break down hydrogen sulfide in rocks and soil. Scott's sister was recording on her cell phone when he fell in, but the park service won't release the video. Veress stressed the importance for park visitors to obey all warning signs. "Because (Yellowstone) is wild and it hasn't been overly altered by people to make things a whole lot safer, it's got dangers," he said. "And a place like Yellowstone, which is set aside because of the incredible geothermal resources that are here, all the more so."
This happened a couple towns over from where I live...I'm going to step out on a limb and guess drugs were involved... http://www.tauntongazette.com/news/...time-for-trying-to-torch-ex-girlfriends-house
Cheetos.....both an accelerant AND a cure for the munchies. *HIGH* I learned way back when as a boy scout that you can use Doritos and Fritos corn chips as a fire starter. They burn like crazy with all the oil/fat in them. Doesn't say much for their nutritional value, though.
Thanks for adding to the thread Underdog. (Geez........sounds like something the damsel in distress always says after the superhero saves her life. Would have gotten away with it, too, if it hadn't been for those meddling kids.) *DRINK*
A 28-year-old South African endured a rare case of ?penile strangulation? after squeezing his wedding ring around his sex organ for ?erotic reasons,? according to the South African Medical Journal. The unnamed man was apparently attempting to use the wedding ring as a substitute cock ring ? a sex toy that holds blood in the penis to heighten sexual response. The ring caused the man?s penis to swell up so much that he was unable to remove it. When the patient?s mother brought him to a hospital in Limpopo four hours after, his penis was erect and blue, according to doctors. At first, doctors tried to cut the ring off with a tiny surgical saw, but that failed because the swelling made it difficult to get close to the ring without causing further injury, according to the paper. Doctors eventually made multiple puncture aspirations with a syringe and a pink needle to reduce the swelling. The patient was given antibiotics and pain killers, presumedly with a strong suggestion not to do this again. The journal noted: ?No proper guidelines exist for the treatment of this condition, so the ?best method? is the one with a successful outcome.?
A good Samaritan in Australia may be feeling like a boob after mistaking a jellyfish for a breast implant ? especially after he told police he believed the blob might be evidence of a murder. The concerned citizen showed up at the police station in Maroochydore, Queensland, with what he told authorities may be evidence of a possible homicide. He handed over a bag containing a round, slimy bubble that he had assumed was a breast implant from a female victim Officers, ?much to their initial alarm,? quickly got to work on the case, a statement on the police department?s website explained. It added: ?Investigations revealed what police suspected ? the item was indeed a jellyfish.? Colin Sparkes, of Surf Life Saving Queensland, told the BBC that the animal mistaken for a breast implant was probably a blubber jellyfish, a species commonly found in area waters with a sting that is irritating, but not dangerous. The ?tentacles have been knocked off by wave action or eaten by fish,? Sparkes said of the specimen given to the police.
Ah, T&A, two of my favorite things. Brought together here in surprising fashion DumbAss of the the Day, and Tits that point to possible murder.
More good times with Pacman: An attorney for Bengals cornerback Adam ?Pacman? Jones told a judge Tuesday he ?vehemently denies? an assault charge that led to his arrest earlier at a Downtown hotel. There are witnesses Jones intends to call in his own defense, public defender Lauren Staley told Hamilton County Municipal Judge Richard Bernat. Jones also intends to hire his own attorney now that he faces multiple charges that stemmed from the incident. Prosecutors say Jones was at the Millenium Hotel early Tuesday morning and was ?beating on different hotel room doors.? Hotel security came to investigate, and prosecutors say Jones pushed and poked a hotel security employee in the eye. Police were then called. While being arrested, court documents say Jones was ?head-butting? and ?kicking? at officers, trying to avoid being placed in a police vehicle. Later, at the Hamilton County jail, prosecutors said Jones spit on a jail nurse. Court documents also say Jones spit on a jail deputy. He faces a felony charge of harassment with a bodily substance. He is also charged with assault, disorderly conduct and obstructing police. Bernat set bonds totaling $37,500. The cornerback signed a three-year contract prior to this past season which just ended on Sunday against Baltimore. Jones stayed mostly out of trouble of late after a rash of incidents early in his 10-year NFL career. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this is probably not his first appearance on this thread....
For those that are keeping track at home: According to the USA Today NFL arrest database, Jones has been arrested for the following incidents: July, 2005: Assault and felony vandalism stemming from a nightclub altercation in Nashville, Tenn. Charges were dropped. February, 2006: Possession of marijuana, felony count of obstruction and two misdemeanors of obstructing police in Fayetteville, Ga. Jones pleaded no contest to obstructing police and received three years of probation and a $500 fine. August, 2006: Disorderly conduct and public intoxication in Murfreesboro, Tenn. Charges were dropped on the condition he stayed out trouble for six months. October, 2006: Misdemeanor assault in Nashville, Tenn. Charge dropped because of inconsistent testimony. July, 2011: Disorderly conduct and resisting arrest in Cincinnati. He pled guilty to the disorderly charge and placed on probation, but resisting arrest was dismissed. June, 2013: Assault in Cincinnati. He was found not guilty. Jones has been charged, but was not arrested, in other incidents. In June, 2007: Jones is charged with felony coercion for his alleged role in a Feb., 2007 strip club shooting in Las Vegas. In December, 2007, Jones pleaded no contest to a reduced misdemeanor charge of conspiracy to commit disorderly conduct for his role. His sentence of one year probation and community service is stayed until after his testimony. Those charges led to a civil lawsuit against Jones, and in January, 2015 the Nevada Supreme Court upheld a $12 million judgment against him for his role in injuries caused in the shooting. In 2013 Jones was charged with disorderly conduct by the Ohio State Highway Patrol and paid out a ticket. The beautiful mind of Pacman Jones As a guest on Beyond The Stripes on Dec. 20, Jones was asked if it is difficult to turn off the game day persona when out in every day life: ?Well it?s difficult if you don?t know how to handle it. I took me awhile to understand you gotta turn the switch off at a certain point. I used the expression sometimes, like I used to be ?Pacman Jones? at the stadium, at home; then you learn like hey, you can only be ?Pacman Jones? on Sunday. When you go home you gotta be Adam Jones. When you got into the community you gotta be Adam Jones. To your kids you gotta be daddy and Adam Jones. So it took me a little while to understand the balance and to learn how to turn the switch on and off. I just thank God that I?ve been able to last to have the chance to still learn to turn it on and off. Some guys don?t have the chance and it will be a little too late before they figure out. And I thank God every day for the blessings that I?ve had.
