Dominic Bailey caught with weed

[Behr]

90% of campus isn't getting busted.

 

[hog88]

He was telling me the truth. He’s my son

My apologize for questioning. I'm glad to hear that.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

That's what I would do. I think it should be legal to own silencer without the Gov stamp but I've not been able to get the people voted in place yet. Maybe one day we can both get what we been voting for.

Yeah, voting works.

No problem at all, Hog.

How did the media find out?

Because they scower the paperwork and crime logs everyday to look for “newsworthy” arrests and cites of politicians, athletes, etc

But the headline is Bailey caught with weed. I doubt this is even brought up for a tail light and speeding incident.

All three are misdemeanors. It’s the media who is making the biggest deal and message boards who are talking about it.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Right. Because 90% of kids on campus aren’t doing the same thing.

90% ?, Lol! Maybe with the company some people keep but most people , not even close. More like <25%. Maybe even less than that.

Yes, a person can be an ass while doing their jobs. There is doing your job and using common sense and then there is being an ass and throwing common sense out the window.

Sure, but you weren't there so you don't know that he was. All you know is that he pulled someone over for a traffic violation, detected the use of an illegal substance, and made an arrest, or gave a citation - whatever the local law is. Based on that information you judged that he is an ass. So, my question still stands, the person is an ass for doing his job?

Sounds like you're upset, but taking it out on the wrong person. Bailey is an ass, in my judgement, for possibly jeopardizing his education & football career for weed, and above all - if you are going to smoke/carry weed, don't drive cars with broken tail lights, bad tags, don't run red lights or stop signs, don't speed, etc, etc, etc...

For the record, breathing smoke deliberatively is dumb as hell. Putting anything burning up to your lips and breathing it has been shown to be stupid on multiple levels.

What about a smokin' hot woman?......

Sha'Carri Richardson suspended for positive marijuana test, barred from signature race at Tokyo Olympics
Can't race in the Olympics, but at least she made a stand by smoking anyway............

And? Confiscate the weed, give a ticket for speeding, and call the coach. Keep it quite and let the coach run his a$$ until he pukes.

Issue solved and there are no headlines.

In a perfect world that’s what would happen, but getting the entire KPD to go along with it would be impossible. Some cops are ok guys but some are dicks that would arrest their mothers if they thought it would earn them some brownie points.

For those that say this doesn't happen in Alabama.....these are the results from a quick 5 minute Google search of Alabama Marijuana. All are within the past 10 years or so, most in the last 5. I would bet Saban has laid down the law on this, unlike our past coaches who really exercised no discipline at all. I would say that arrests occur in every SEC city, the biggest difference is, in most other cities, the local media doesn't hate the university there and look for ways to write disparaging stories.

Smoke it all the way down to the butt?

Asinine comment.

Such assumptive, judgmental, narrow-minded thinking. The whole “gateway drug” argument stemmed from the fact that a person who peddles one illegal thing is likely to peddle another. No other reason. Personally, I think you should KNOW what you’re talking about before you spout off in one direction or another. I use cannabis every single day of my life—while holding a highly lucrative job, staying in shape, and serving on the boards of two local nonprofits. The only reason I’m not outwardly vocal about marijuana is because I know how dimwitted, judgmental people will cast presumptions that I’d rather not deal with.

It’s called a gateway drug because decades of data showed that many people who were addicted to drugs like heroin, etc had started off just using marijuana.
You should try to have some clue what you are talking about before passing your own judgment on others.

So does he get the boot? Or is he at camp when it starts?

 

[0nelilreb]

We don't know if he was smoking it in the car or just had it with him.

Agree . I was just curious about the thoughts on it because that will have to be addressed. It was just a general question.

Should be at camp in my opinion.

The days of expecting special treatment of athletes are gone. Police Departments are under such intense scrutiny now that it isn’t done. The media, on the other hand, can choose to publicize, sensationalize or ignore at their whim. I would think that a lot would depend on the University’s relationship with them

 

[delvol]

I hope you're exaggerating. There is no way 9 out of 10 students are smoking weed.

Inclined to agree.

This all day. The stigma attached to marijuana is much worse than the substance itself.

I see it like this: if you want to use it, do so responsibly. Just like alcohol.

The problem is that some people have absolutely no idea what they’re talking about, but that doesn’t stop them from jumping in and vocalizing their ignorant opinions. Besides, if something helped alleviate your pain, gave you relief, or helped you relax (something natural, to boot), who am I to say you’re wrong for using it?

I’m not denying that it’s illegal, and that players with high athletic ceilings should think twice before subjecting themselves to a situation that could jeopardize their future.

Bad kid? No.
Bad decision? Yes.

I read this morning that U S sprinter, Sha'Carri Richardson, who won the U S 100 meters Olympic Trials, tested positive for marijuana and will be banned from the Olympics this year. She was expected to have competed for the Gold Medal. Another example of someone making a poor decision which ended up hurting her and the U S Olympic team. When will they ever learn?

 

[WestTennesseeVol]

Isn’t it pretty well known at this point that KPD will go out of their way to target UT players?
