[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a huge problem now.

No camera recording.  Defendant is a famous, rich white guy whose reputation cannot be sullied by a plea bargain because sponsors are not going to like that.

And, they overcharged him.  Including a felony.  That makes it very political.  The Republicans are pushing “felony charge is hold to deport” as their cornerstone immigration issue.  Well - Sheppler just showed how trumped up that crap can be.

Why doesn't he just come clean and admit he screwed up and violated traffic laws because he didn't feel like waiting in traffic (which was backed up for a roadway fatality)? He stepped in it, bottom line. It's not cool to violate traffic laws around such a hectic and busy sporting event, as evident by a traffic fatality he was trying to go around.[/quote]

Because he doesn't think he did anything wrong. Would you admit to doing something you didn't do?[/quote]

And how wrong was he?  Arrested at about 6:10 am.  He was back at the golf course in time to make a 10:06 am tee time (with a warm up).

Still charged by the police wit a felony and a misdemeanor.  [b]Does that sound like what would happen if he were a Hispanic guy working on the grounds crew?  [/b]

Grounds crew probably wouldn't be waved through the traffic the same way a player would be. But you knew that. Also, the fact that Scottie isn't brown is relevant as a commentary on the racial tension in our country (and in that city in particular) but has no bearing on whether or not what Scottie did was wrong. Stop conflating the two things to make a point. This isn't the guy you want to make an example out of. [/quote]
