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.

A normal citizen would be in federal fuck-me-in-the-ass prison for tax evasion. This fuck, and Obamas cabinet gets a free pass though because I don't even know why.

Obama's miles ahead of this fool

@Turq I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and yes, some people still have this idea that DC is unsafe and garbage. It really isn't. I'd feel safe walking around all of the Northwest quadrant, though some areas (mostly the nightlife areas) I wouldn't be out past 1AM. The Northeast quadrant is improving as is the Southwest quadrant. Even Southeast is showing some promise, though it has a LONG way to go.

And the metropolitan area is fantastic (sans some parts of PG county).

Yeah, Arlington is nice. I wouldn't mind living in any part of Virginia serviced by Metrorail. Old Town Alexandria would be the best though... so much to do, super nice, super clean.
