Marshawn Lynch Felon

[BlueBrewer]

Marshawn was arrested for felony concealment of a handgun. What a bullet we dodged by not getting him. I was very upset when he was taken in front of us. Now it seems like a blessing in disguise. Now the only question is is this strike one or two, since he wasn't convicted of the hit and run last year.

Now, does he fall under the curse of Bretsky like Odell Thurman?

I like how everyone thinks the Packers dont draft any fuckups. Put lynch in GB and chances lessen he will have to carry a gat and get busted. Might even get off with a warning for being a Packer. Put Barnett in New York and he would likely be finishing up a 1 year suspension.

Also, gun laws vary drastically from state to state. If you get pulled over with a gun in Georgia, you just have to tell the officer when he asks to search the car. If it's not registered, they will just take the gun from you and in some cases, just give you a warning (you'll have a couple weeks to take the registration to court) to get it registered if it's A) not reported stolen and B) doesn't have a "kill" on it. A non story in this case.

This is the offseason, the incident happened in Culver City Cali not Buffalo. These guys are not under home city arrest with ankle bracelets. Nobody said the Pack doesn't draft f- ups, just that I'm glad they didn't take the guy that I and many of us wanted.

The Packers have their Johnny Jollys too. Not big time criminals, it seems, but naive, foolish or something.

Excuse me? "Have to carry". If the neighborhood is that bad, don't go. If his family is still there, maybe spend some of his signing bonus and move them to a better place. The opportunity to improve the situation is there. He has only to take advantage of it.

I thought this was a handgun charge against Lynch???

I think that even the people who wanted to draft him realized that he wasn't the smartest card in the failed metaphor. It was just the classic argument that "you don't need to be a brain wizard to run with the ball." Sometimes, football players do dumb things and Lynch is clear proof of that.

Though this isn't some "the Packers were brilliant for passing on this guy" since they didn't. Buffalo took him before we picked, taking the decision out of our hands.

The only real indictment here is "sometimes football fans on message boards don't make great personnel decisions", but that should be a surprise to no one.

You didn't check your Lynch arrest scorecard, P.

1. On January 25, 2007, Lynch was accused of sexual assault by his former girlfriend. The incident reportedly happened on December 13, 2006, outside the woman's home in Emeryville, California. On January 29, 2007, an Alameda County Deputy District Attorney who specializes in domestic violence cases declined to press charges, citing a lack of evidence and "grave inconsistencies" in the alleged victim's accusations. Lynch was never arrested or charged.

On March 3, 2007, an Alameda County judge threw out a restraining order that Lynch's ex-girlfriend had issued against him because it was obtained improperly.

2. During June 2008, Lynch was under investigation for his involvement in a hit and run accident that occurred in Buffalo on May 31, 2008. His 2008 Porsche SUV struck and injured a female pedestrian before leaving the scene. After the 27 day saga, on June 26, 2008, Lynch apologized and accepted a guilty plea to a single count of failure to exercise due care to avoid striking a pedestrian, a traffic violation. He was assessed a $100 fine, and his driver’s license and car registration were revoked. Because a Buffalo Police Officer gave testimony that the victim did not suffer "severe physical injury", Lynch avoided being criminally charged for the incident..

3. On February 11, 2009, Lynch was arrested on a felony weapon possession charge near Los Angeles, California. He was released after paying $35,000 bail.

Now you are up to date.

I knew about those.

To say that he "sexually assaults women in his car" based on something that was dropped by a prosecuter who specializes in sexual assault prosecutions due to problems with the accusers story is something I am not willing to do. Lynch was never arrested or charged. There are too many incidents of innocent people being convicted let alone arrested and charged for me to do that. In this instance the prosecuter was unwilling to do anything.

Are you willing to brand him for something he was never even charged for by a prosecuter who specializes in that type of crime? Chances are, if there was anything to it at all, he would have been charged even if there was problems with the evidence, and a plea deal would have been worked out.

[KYPack]

That first one is a very shaky case, to be sure. But he sure has been a busy guy in the last 13 months, I'll say that much.

The guy needs to stay out of court. I watched that Jets/Bills game on the Favre tribute thing they had on NFLN. Lynch is one tough ballplayer.

hmm, well i would still take lynch, over harrell
