And just when you thought it was safe to take the subway....

 I find it funny that this alleged "schizophrenic", was suppsoedly so "out of touch" with reality, that he didn't know it was wrong when he pushed two complete and total strangers infront of a oncoming train. Yet, if you watch the video taken of his arrest, he was coherant enough to first inform the police he was unarmed, and place his hands behind his back, before they even took him into custody. And naturally, it's up to the court to prove he doesn't hear voices.

 

 Great. Just great.

 

 Ten to one odds you see this guy in six months, at a subway platform near you.

 

 Oh well. At least you know what he looks like!

 It has to be EATING Lott up inside. When, after all his arrests, raids, and Nazi strongarm tactics, not ONE person would roll on Phelps. NOT ONE. Lott came off looking so bad over this, I think he should consider resigning. Seriously. Salvage what's left of his dignity, and just move on. When you upset that many lives, just for the sake of acquiring your own "15 minutes of fame", then obviously you're in law enforcement to gratify or inflate your own ego. Last I checked, that wasn't part of the vocation. Personally, I'd feel rather embarassed. Were I in his shoes. Or JACKBOOTS. As in his case.

.......YES. There apparently is no REAL crime going on in South Carolina.

 UBER hick Sheriff Leon Lott is quoted as saying, "I just don't think you can have something like this done, and publicized, and say "I'm sorry.", and expect us to forget about it. He broke the law.". Well THANK GOD Lott is on the case. We wouldn't want a double standard applied to Phelps, like they apply to some police forces all over North America. Some of which aren't even TESTING their officers from drugs anymore!

 

 It's interesting to note.....In the eight arrests that occured over the last few days, not ONE time police have actually inquired about the source of the pot in question. Everything they've asked about concerns Michael Phelps' identity on that tape. But remember: The M.O. of this whole scenario, supposedly involves taking down a potential drug dealer. So would logic not dictate you actually ASK questions about such? I've never been one to tell someone else how to do their job, but up to now, this whole scenairo is coming across more like THE worst case of celebrity voyerism I've ever seen, than anything resembling a police investigation.

 

 

......Meet Karo "The Heat" Parisian. Apparently, you two have alot in common!

 Maybe now the media will finally stop crucifing Jose Canseco, for being the only honest person in MLB. For years, Canseco was called a cheat, a liar, and was used by MLB as "patsy" for the issue of performance-enhancing drugs. Well, "Time, is the great equalizer." fellas. Now all you idiots that so boldly proclaimed, "A-Rod is my HERO! He'd NEVER use steriods!", or "Bonds is all natural!", have to STFU and eat crow. And while you're at it, maybe you should consider sending Jose an apology, for all the times you slandered his name at your 'local watering hole', while watching a ball game.

 

 Now the cat is completely out of the bag. One by one, the credibility of your heros is sinking faster than the Titanic. Maybe it's about time you pull your head out of the sand?

 

 

 

 

 I'm sure there will be alot of people who want this kid to have the books thrown at him....

 Well, I have news for you: I can totally empathize with him. Over two decades ago, I was in this kid's shoes. And just like this kid, the "safety net" that was supposed to protect me, comprised of teachers, councilors, and principles, did absolutely NOTHING to stem the relentless shit-kickings and verbal threats I took on a daily basis. "It's just kids being kids.", they told my mother. One principle even said,"He probably had it coming". Alleging that I had done something she wasn't aware of. And this is a person in charge of rearing young, influential minds. Scary.

 

 Some of the parental responses include...."As a parent I still can't justify having that type of behavior in school,". And "I know it's hard, it's a difficult age. But there's no excuse for bringing violent weapons to school."

 

 NEWS FLASH, people. What did you THINK was going to happen? This isn't some "garden variety" Jane-Finch pissant. A kid who's listened to one, too many Tupac albums. And decides he's going to go "off" one of his fellow students, for accidently scuffing his Puma in gym class. This is a kid, who was in genuine fear for his life. Some modern psychiatric studies find the kind of repeated psychological trauma experienced by this kid, ON PAR with that found on modern battlefields. DOESN'T THAT TELL YOU SOMETHING?

 

 The biggest irony of all, is that because of the incident, the kid won't be allowed to return to school. Which will actually be BETTER, for both his physical AND psychological health. The tragedy of it all, is that he was essentially strong armed into taking such a drastic step in the first place.

 

 

 Since when do we penalize our athletes for NON, performance-enhancing drugs?

 I'm not going to choke up this blog with a "laundry list" of professional atletes who have, or are currently "tapping the bong". But list ranges from pro ball players, to professional fighters, and everything in between. The fact that a South Carolina Sheriff's department is STILL considering pressing charges, based on a video of someone smoking pot , is laughable. Were this anyone else, I'm very much doubting they'd actually care. But I guess not much of criminal importance goes on in South Carolina. Certainly NOBODY smokes pot there, right Sheriff? Maybe I'm asking the wrong person. Are your kids available for comment?

 

 Listen, people. Michael Phelps is an "ATHETE". Not a "role model". He never asked to be. The media placed him on that pedestal, while his only concern was the first-place swimmer's podium. Stop looking to the "average joe" for role models, or you'll be disappointed every time. Phelps is a human being. He's fallible just like everyone else. In this case, his only real mistake, was being TAPED doing so. Had it not surfaced, would you have ever known from his behavior that he had ever done it? I didn't think so. Not to metion, pot convictions are being tossed out of courtrooms all over North America, like "salads in porno". So don't be a hypocrite. Because I'm fairly certain YOUR closet isn't exactly spotless. And you know damn-well his door will be the FIRST you go banging on, when you want another national gold medal. OR FOURTEEN, as the case may be.
