BF2S Forums Why the hell is Marion Barry not in prison?

Barry was arrested in 2002 when traces of marijuana and cocaine were found in his car after he was stopped in the Buzzard Point area of Southwest D.C. No charges were filed, and Barry claimed that the drugs were planted.

And in 2006, Park Police officers stopped him for driving too slowly, prompting him to accuse authorities of targeting him. Barry had been on probation since 2005 for not filing or paying income taxes for several years.

I see where he would be going with this.

This idiot needs to be assassinated or just drop dead.

On July 4, the U.S. Park Police arrested Barry and charged him with misdemeanor stalking.

Wait until he is convicted before calling for his death, geez.

You haven't had to live in a city that's been detrimented by his existence for 15 years.

True, and this seems really suspicious:

Last year he again failed to file a tax return, and his probation was extended to May 2011, according to the Washington City Paper.

Break the law, so your probation is extended?

At the risk of sounding absurd; part of The Plot involves people being so disillusioned with authority figures that we welcome The New World Order.



That's right. I just said he is not in jail because the puppet masters want us pissed and at the edge of riot.

I'd say it's not even most of DC, it's only in that "far" Southeast portion that keeps voting him in. Look at other majority black areas (northeast, southwest, some portions of northwest) I can't see many of the black folks there supporting him. It's the bass-ackwards areas in his council district that keep that fuckup around.

Hence my 'blow the bridges' idea

Srsly, Southeast is a shithole. I say retrocede it back to Maryland and give the rest of DC statehood.

Don't give my wonderful state (well wonderful sans Bodymore) DC's problem. We already have to deal with PG county and bodymore as it is

Heh. Luckily Virginia got Alexandria and Arlington. I'd say they got the best of that deal.

If I move to the DC area after college I'm probably gonna live in Alexandria or Arlington or Falls Church or Vienna or Fairfax. Or maybe Springfield. NoVa has great restaurants, great neighborhoods, low crime and VA has good gun laws.

Just a word of advise. If you have to make a daily commute into DC it's a bitch trying to get into the city from Franconia/Springfield. I've mentioned on here before that I made the commute from that station (and Van Dorn) to American and Cleveland Park. It's taken up to 2 hrs to get back and forth.

If you have to go to the American U. area I'd live in Rockville or Bethesda (if you can afford it), or anywhere on the Orange Line in VA if you go to GW or Georgetown.

I was working in Virginia at Belvoir and going to school at the same time which was a major PITA. I really feel for the sorry fuckers that had to go anywhere in Prince William or Fauquier to DC and back.


And re: the gun issue. Fairfax county is safe enough that you don't need to worry about owning a firearm anywhere in the area. As you've noted, crime is basically a non-issue most places in NOVA. There is a slim area along the Rt. 1 corridor that has some blight and Springfield is has some issues, but that's mostly idle teens looking for trouble.

If I could live anywhere in NOVA it'd be Rosslyn, Courthouse, or Falls Church. Those seem to be the best areas for young professionals/military/college students.

Why isn't Marion Kerry in prison?

People!  Remember, politicians are above the law! /sarcasm...maybe

Because his cousin was the mayor of DC?

How many times did Barry get arrested for having 'rock'?

Once while mayor and was sent to prison then was reelected before saner heads prevailed.

Then, as a council member he was found to have marijuana and cocaine in his system at the mandatory drug testing for a hearing on an IRS investigation.

EDIT: This post makes Baby English Language cry, but I don't feel like cleaning it up.
