As someone who has worked in and seen the criminal justice system at its best and its worst, most people, even law abiding citizens, could not strictly live within the Conditions of Probation that are routinely given to criminals (at least in NJ). Does that excuse Dixie? Of course not, but trust me, VoP's (Violations of Probation) are very, very common. Ultimately, once you're in the system, the likelihood, one way or another, is you're going to stay in the system. Again, not excusing Dixie's behavior, just food for thought.
Changing the subject from the currently-incarcerated, my cousin just had a baby and is still in the hospital. I'm contemplating visiting her. We're not super close, but apparently her mom (my aunt) isn't going to visit her until she's home from the hospital. I have no idea why. I feel like I should go see her so at least SOMEONE from her family goes to check out her new kid. My question is, do I bring anything? Do I pick up a shitty bear from the gift shop or some flowers or something? Or do I just walk in and high-five people? Do I call before-hand or just show up? What's the protocol here?
What're old pennies made of? Dirty coppper! Yeah, well I was speaking from my orange jumpsuit and flip flops, making my one phone call to my college roommate level of experience. Have we ever had a "this one time, when I got arrested" thread before?
Or milkshake or some snack, if you feel like you have to take something. Everyone I've ever visited in the hospital - new moms, family, senior adults - always appreciates presence more than presents.
I wonder if he's already joined up to the Aryan brotherhood. How long does that usually take? Is there prison orientation where you could select from the group that you might be able to join?
I was thinking the same thing. Is it anything like rush week for fraternities? "OK, pledge, if you want to join the Aryans you have to take this poop smeared shiv I made from a toothbrush and shank that black guy. Oh, right, when you're done you're going to blow all of us." The Elephant Walk takes on a whole new meaning. Somehow, in prison... it's less dirty and gay. Christ. Is driving home from the bar really worth it? JUST WALK. FUCKING WALK.
My mistake. I apologize for making noise without the facts. Sooooo... is going out for smokes worth it? Please tell me he didn't get a drunk moving violation on foot, or on a bicycle. My friend's uncle went to the slammer for over a month because of a DUI on a bicycle. There are some things you don't live down.
You could bring a vacuum and a coat hanger and burst through the door and say, "Am I too late for the abortion?!" Poor Dixie, that really is shitty luck. But the what the fuck was he thinking with drinking at all? Christ with a .01 I would have just claimed I had some cough syrup or something. Poor bastard. Edit: The girl made homemade apple crisp.
Wow. So he planned on driving drunk at some point to an extent. I'm not going to say or act like I've never done that, but I've never had one DUI let alone 5. And how did he blow a .01? If you know you can't have any booze at all in your system why not just refuse and wait it out? Plus with the history we know, you've got to imagine he was either driving like an idiot or mouthed off to the cop. Who blows a .01 and has enough booze on their breath to even turn a ticket into a year in jail? Even on parole. Damn.
Bad luck Gravy buys a classroom poster poking fun at Jerry Falwell for having bigoted views towards gay people Has a gay student take offense because he can't read well enough to understand the poster The poster in question: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/literally
I'm starting to suspect these horrible song-videos are intentional, either that or rich teenagers are just really delusional/bored nowadays. And what is with the creepy black dude popping up in these things all the time at the, like, totally worst moments? I'm waiting for him to spring out from behind the bushes and taking one of the kids to Captain Tyrone's dark room of fun toys and gentle hands.
