The media never makes a mistake

Fear and Loathing.

He's swimming in cash, so I am suuuuuure justice will be served!!!

Awesome.

I never said I had any knowledge of the gang culture. I did ask you to share your extensive knowledge of said culture and how it follows someone after they've "escaped" that lifestyle. C'mon enlighten me, OG.

Wow, it sure would be nice if you could clone yourself to make the world a better place.

An arrest warrant has been issued a few hours ago.

Why would he destroy his security system, cell phone and hire a professional clean up company if there was nothing to hide?

I'd rather not, especially considering your condescending tone.

Sorry to hear that. I wasn't trying to make the argument that the police aren't sometimes corrupt, because I think everyone knows they are. It just seems Bump has a special kind of hate towards the police and I was just curious if it was driven by personal experience or media reports.

According the latest reports I've read, the police are preparing an arrest warrant.

How should I know?

That's fair. I was poking at you a little bit. IMO, I think we are quick to make excuses for other's bad behavior.

They showed it ive as state police went to his house with the warrant for obstruction of justice. It's why they took his video system and his busted cell phone as evidence and wNt to talk to the cleaning company.

But flight can be introduced as evidence of guilt. The law does adopt the idea that 'innocent people don't act this way' and have essentially codified it into the rules of evidence.

And yes, the justice system only works if people use their brains and adopt an acceptable definition of 'reasonable' doubt. Oftentimes that does require the use of inference and supposition.

If a prosecutor stood before and presented compelling evidence of what ABC News and others have reported, surely you'd be willing to convict on Obstruction and potentially as an accessory (after the fact, if nothing else). And no, we haven't had a prosecutor do such a thing, but I feel like there are enough independent sources leaking this information that we can certainly start to speculate on what it means.

If someone put a gun to my head right now and said "if you're wrong, you die", I'd say that Aaron Hernandez is absolutely an accomplice to murder and guilty of obstruction of justice. The End.

I don't see anything wrong with making those statements on a chat board, Twitter or facebook.

Wouldn't it. I'm not sure there would be enough Lynyrd Skynyrd T-shirts and Camaros to go around though.

Thank you. I'll make this brief. I'm personally not an expert on gang life but I have some fairly close friends that work in law enforcement in Los Angeles (one guy was formerly head of SWAT and now is a SWAT trainer). The stories I've heard, and I've heard a lot because I find it very interesting, are mind blowing.

I also have a close friend that did an award winning documentary on gangsters and gang life. I've met some of those guys and had conversations with them (the main character escaped the gang life and now works with urban youths to avoid gang life).

Gang life, much like life in the Mafia, is a complete sub-culture, with their own rules. It's all built on trust (which ironically is what brought the Italian mafia down when everyone starting turning on each other in the 90's).

That said, they are not rules nor is it a lifestyle that I'm familiar with because I grew up in a suburban Caucasian home. But through friends, meetings and acquaintances, I do have some understanding of how their lifestyle works.
