Heard a rumor

One more.

In our little area of the world, people find it hard to believe how rampant cocaine use is.
When I was younger, I never thought that cocaine was a big thing around here, but it is.

To all the young people who feel the need for [censored] like that; you don't need it, its not worth it.

yeah he is over 18

With all he has seen with the family.
I would have to wonder why he would do this if it is true.
Age wise, i was wondering if it is so, he may catch a break and get tried as a minor.
But not if he's 18 and knowing the family history.
I think it was an uncle or something that was arrested at one of the games last year for drugs.
If it is true then it was something stupid to do. I hope myself like Indian Dad. One of SWVA's other thousand rumors.

where are the people calling for his head? saying he's an immature little kid and will never amount to anything? where are those people...all i see are people rallying around him hoping it isnt true and some, even if true, wont "write him off"...dont get me wrong, im on his side, i hope he didnt do it and if he did then im not gonna crucify the kid...but the only reason we rally around people like him and not others who get in trouble is because we know them...and we're quick to judge others we do not even know

so what you are saying is if he wasn't a well known athlete and was jus some arbitrary cocaine convict then people would have a different perspective about the situation?

i personally think if he is guility he needs to be punished. eighteen is a VERY young age to be experimiting with cocaine. I mean weed and alcohol is one thing, but anyone tha knows anything about coke can tell u how dangerious it is.

**gcdevil22** · May 21st, 2006, 06:34 PM

not really as much of a well-known athlete, as in someone who isnt from this area whom none on this board actually "knows"

dont throw the kid (or anyone) under the bus, it would only compound the situation

**gcdevil22** · May 21st, 2006, 06:50 PM

go to any thread with his name in it and see for yourself...then compare to the responses here

...tell me im wrong...

I'm pretty sure that VA laws are strict in regards to drugs. As Biggin said if he had it in more than one bag thats automatic distribution right there. This area is bad for drugs and it's getting worse, from what I've seen Meth is starting to pick up around here and that stuff if used everday the user has an average lifespan of two years.

**imported_MoonlightGraham** · May 21st, 2006, 07:09 PM

oh i agree with what you are saying 100% vthokie22.

and as for pvfan, he is right as well when he says if you have two bags on you. also if they search you and you have more than fifty dollars on you, that is also noted.

I think some of the thinking on not crucifying him is he is a kid. Not in college.
Just barely out of highschool and i think that is today for Burton. Graudation that is.
Hard to imagine a kid graduating high school and going straight to 10 yrs at ROSP or WRSP. Think about it.
