Thread: Webb Arrested????

It's the charge reported about the controlled substance that was in question. Again, a legit concern if the dude was running around with freaking cocaine in his car. If you can't understand that, then you are more of a Webb slurper than I thought.

What's condescending about what I posted? Jesus Christ there are over 70 posts in this thread many of which got it wrong as did at least one radio report and all because of a rush to judgement. Read what I posted to 99. When the article was written I believed the punctuation was wrong and I said that right after it was posted.

Read this with and without the semi colon after the words "controlled substance" and it's misleading. The first way lists it as three separate items but the second uses a semi colon to separate the actual charge, which I believe was "possession of a controlled substance", from the "substances" themselves and that's the way I read it.

(without) Webb is charged with possession of controlled substance, cannabis and paraphernalia.

(with) Webb is charged with possession of controlled substance; cannabis and paraphernalia.

You've got posters who were talking about the need to sign a FA LT, draft a LT, cut his ass, etc. etc. etc. and yet nobody even had a clue as to what the real story was except the initial info which proved to be somewhat inaccurate. So there was a lot of over reaction to it. Don't say everyone knew it was nothing you'd cut a guy for. There a more than just one or two who say just that.

My post commented on those over reactions. That's not at all condescending. It's just poking a little fun at my fellow Bears fans for their "the sky is falling" behavior. I wasn't one of those saying we should dust him. I was saying it was no big deal and it wasn't.

Now you want to me to show you what condescending is? It's all of you who want to bring out a lynch mob to hang players over offenses your fucking neighbors, family members, friends and co-workers are guilty of every day of the year yet for some odd reason these guys who play football should be stripped of their rights and livelihood before they've even be convicted of a crime. I think Jimmors and I had that one out over Ogletree the other day and again to day another bunch wanted Webb crucified over charges that were dismissed before 24 hours had passed. NOW THAT'S CONDESCENSION CHI!

What I did was a little harmless lampooning of my friends. I'm not acting as judge and jury of a guy just because he's a football player. That up to the courts to do. Webb and Ogletree may both be careless and stupid but they're a long way from being hardened criminals. If we jailed people just for being dumb I'd have spent the last ten years in prison for some of my own stupidity.

So if you believe I was being a dick well that's your opinion and you're entitled to it. But that doesn't mean I have to wear that mantle just because you think I should.
