Thread: Big red from bb.com arrested

that sucks but any good dealer knows not to keep that kind of stash in your own house...that's what storage units are for !

that does suck, but it's cool that he is wearing his bb.com t-shirt in court!

LOL, I was thinking the same thing.

Yeah, it does blow, but the shirt rocks.

Just wearing that shirt to court is freaking epic!!

Best of luck to him.

That sucks...That poor guy. Keep us posted on the results of this if you can

Wonder how many thousands of $$ were spent to arrest/convict this guy... gee it's such a shame that some guy around the block just sold some crack to a 12 year old.... priorities.... blah blah blah

Cool shirt though

Since when does Rhode Island have a southern part? Last I checked you could walk across the state in 15 minutes.

Sucks for him, though.

there definetly was no South Rhode Island when I lived there ! lol

Poor guy, he is screwed. I read the other day that in Rhode Island, it is a FELONY to possess just ONE syringe/needle without a script. "He's a big fish in a little pond ... ". You can say that again. My backyard is bigger then southern RI.

My favorite part... "detectives recovered thousands of different colored pills, many suspected to be steroids, and valued between $3,000 to $4,000." So they don't know if they are steroids, or if they are, what kind, but they can value them at $3-4 grand.

They were talking about 1000's of little blue tabs they think are viagra...I bet they are the tiny IP winny tabs.

his parents are gonna be pissed.

seriously though - i hope it doesn't turn out as bad as it seems like it will for the poor guy.

well, with the current "crackdown" on steroids I would not be surprised if he gets at least 10 years.

i agree - it does seem that way.

and it's not as if anyone will sleep more soundly knowing he's "off the streets"

Damn...now I remember why I've been sticking to PHs...I did my share of recreational drug slining at his age, and don't ever want to deal with paranoia again, even if the gov't rationale is B.S. It's called the chilling effect.

I'm no expert, but he'll be EXTREMELY lucky to get anything less than 10 years.

Imagine facing this at 22...he hasn't even finished school yet...damn...I feel bad for him, because jail sucks, and you're never as carefree after you've spent time in jail as you were before.

Then again, if he had $29,000 just at home, maybe he can get a good lawyer...but if he's seriously is the states biggest supplier, the DA is going to go pitbull on him, the jury will convict, and the judge will recommend maximum sentence...so I think he's f'd.

that cash would be confiscated and he would not get it back since they can assume it was "drug money".

but, yeah this is exactly why I stick to legal PS/PH's, it's just not worth getting caught.

I have friends who go to URI. I wonder if any know him. Scary shit!

I don't mean to sound like a jerk but why are you all calling him poor guy and what not? I mean it's not like hes innocent, he knew the risks and what he was doing was illegal; he decided to take his chances and got busted for it. I'm probably gonna get flamed for this. :x

He knew the risks, and he made a mistake by dealing locally - but it still sucks that he has to go through this.

I think he's getting sympathy because most here dont agree with the current laws making steroids an illegal substance, not because anyone thinks he's innocent.

I agree, I do not feel sorry for him that he got busted, although I completely disagree with the laws on steroid use, but it is sad that is life is really gonna be screwed at such a young age.

But you're correct, he knew the consequences and decided to take the risk.

As someone mentioned, he should have been a bit smarter and stashed the drugs and money somewhere else.

I went to prison at his age for another reason, and I spent almost 3 years there. I'll tell you this: he will do way more time than most child molesters and armed robbers. Yes, he was very careless. But he will get much more time than the crime deserves. He should have had that $29K on retainer with a really good lawyer. Then he could have some future. Hopefully, his parents are rich.

I agree that for whatever reason, crimes of drugs and property seem to get people more jail time than crimes against humans...I also did some time, nothing serious, but in the state where I lived, any theft or property destruction over $100 is an immediate FELONY; I could punch a random stranger, or beat my girlfriend two times before I would face a felony...I never understood this...I also believe there are misdemeanors for sexual improprieties...and pirate's comment about the $ is very true, unfortuneately...all you haev to do is watch the news to see famous people buying their way out of ridiculous circumstances that would ruin any of us here...for instance, in my hometown, there are VIDEOS of R. Kelly with young teens doing shit that's just wrong, yet he STILL hasn't gone to court over it, and will most definitely get off.

I don't fell sorry that he got caught making bad decisions...I do feel sorry that he is facing such a serious situation at such a young age.

On the other hand, if he was sitting on $29k, he was no small player, so it's not like a buddy who buys a little extra and distributes...Mr. Red was most likely in this game at a very foundational level, and that means increased heat and jailtime...I swear, keep it simple, make your money on the up and up, and you can deal just about anything here and there without much trouble...I personally think greed drives people to take risks they know they shouldn't.

Damn.

that's exactly how I feel...especially when there are people out there who don't even get 10 years for aggravated manslaughter...

Hope all works out for him man.
