Wait... we’re really wondering why someone who was sentenced to 5 years for stealing $120 would be afraid of standing trial for armed robbery?
Does not matter. The court wouldn’t accept the plea and then got a result it didn’t like from a jury. That should be the end of it. He should walk out of the court a free man. Instead, the judge threw a legal hissy fit and revoked his probation because the judge thought he deserved to be in jail for something.

No way! She didn’t even believe in her son!
How in the world did Sachiko from Erased not make the cut?
And if a fan yelled loud enough in center field for Adam Jones to hear the N-word, I guarantee you we would’ve heard and seen fans around on CNN on MSNBC, they would’ve found multiple fans to talk about what a racist piece of junk Boston is.
Okay, this guy is a tool AND he’s full of shit.

The guy had a point about rap lyrics. Some of those songs are pretty offensive. I heard on the other day where some dude was rapping about how he was so cool that he could just walk up to any woman and grab her by the pussy. That was a really fucked up rap song. Oh, wait. Nope. That was the President of The United…

What does “dressed like a gang member” even mean these days?
