Mr. WEO Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 If the facts meet what Marshawn's lawyer says i highly doubt the DA will try to prosecute. LA cops are notoriously corrupt and if the cops were white will want to avoid the racial boundries. I have no idea why Marshawn was in Culver City but it isn't a great area. I think Marshawn needs to see a Therapist 3 times a week to try and figure out how he puts himself in these situations. This diagnosis from his therapist: "typical pro athlete thug poseur: punk subtype". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All things nobody knows but the authorities at this point, and all very important questions. Why were they approached by police? Why was their vehicle searched? Did they find anything else?

Trader Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 No traffic ticket here, no easy outs. Felony charges are serious and will draw major heat from the league. The Bills speak of character players and draft a thug, the exact reason we need a real front office, we keep getting mixed messages. Our goals will be mediocrity, expect less. He is getting suspended. Last year he got some slack for the traffic incident. With luck it's 4 games but after the Burris gun thing I would not be shocked if he is gone for the year.

BuffaloBill Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 The message board over at buffalobills.com says there is a rumor that Marshawn Lynch was arrested for possession of a firemarm in Culver City. I REALLY hope this is not true!!! Please don't shoot the messanger if this proves to be false. http://bearinsider.com/forums/showthread.p...0222#post100222 This is just plain stupid of Marshawn... maybe you foorgive and forget the issues last offseason as a kid who made a serious mistake. This is just plain stupid ... why does he need a loaded gun? What was he planning to use it for? If he does not feel safe find some new friends and new places to hang out.

jahnyc Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I have no idea what happens here. Even if the charges are dropped or Lynch pleads to a misdemeanor, it is conceivable that he will be subject to suspension under the NFL conduct policy. In the event that he is suspended for four games, I do not see how the Bills go into the season (and for the first four games) with only Fred Jackson and the back-ups we had last year. I really like Freddy, but I can see how this scenario could result in a poor start for the team, which would be devastating with the tough schedule in 2009. Under all scenarios, I think the Bills will be forced to either pick up another RB in free agency or use a draft pick in rounds 2-4 on a RB. We need to hope that the charges are dropped and that the NFL does not suspend Lynch. Even if this happens, the question will remain as to whether the Bills need to make contingency plans given Lynch's problems in only his first two years with the Bills.

Ramius Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I don't recall any of the Levy/Polian era guys getting into trouble with the law as much as recent Bills have. If football character were the prevailing wisdom (of which I'm sure every team subscribes to) why in the heck was McCargo drafted. This whole thing demonstrates that all teams take risks and ultimately bend their rules in the interest of acquiring talented football players. Was your head lodged in your ass during the super bowl years? Bills not getting in trouble? Or is it that the Bills were winning games back then so no one cared? Or is it that you are willing to dig into anything and everything to take a shot at Levy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millbank Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 California Firearms Law HANDGUNS California Penal Code section 12025 does not prevent a citizen of the United States over 18 years of age who is not lawfully prohibited from firearm possession, and who resides or is temporarily in California, from transporting by motor vehicle any pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed upon the person provided the firearm is unloaded and stored in a locked container. The term "locked container" means a secure container which is fully enclosed and locked by a padlock, key lock, combination lock, or similar locking device. This includes the trunk of a motor vehicle, but does not include the utility or glove compartment. For more information, refer to California Penal Code Section 12026.1. Would appear if reports are correct he had gun in trunk, he may have been within his rights... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thurman#1 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Was it loaded or unloaded? According to the above code, if the weapon is unloaded and in the truck, then he is in compliance.

Offside Number 76 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Has it occurred to anyone that the reason the Culver City police didn't publicize this* was because someone there realized that there might not have been any good reason for the search to begin with? Has it occurred to anyone that the same PD may have charged everyone in the car with "possession" of the same weapon, which was in the trunk? More importantly, and I direct this to the Americans on this board, which should be the majority (non-Americans, you may well have a very different standard where you live), what the hell happened to the God-given right of reasonable freedom from police intrusion? Has anyone given any decent explanation for why this car was pulled over? What happened to the gun nuts (I did see a very well-articulated comment earlier in the thread about how gun freedom is protected if you're white) who should be screaming about Lynch's right to bear arms? What happened to the presumption of innocence? Some of the comments I've read suggest that there's a fair amount of self-examination due for some of our so-called "patriots" on this board. The absolute worst came from a poster who suggested that Lynch "was trouble" the moment he was drafted. The press on Lynch after the draft was all about how he bought a suburban WNY house for his mother and brother, to get them out of the rougher area in which he grew up, and to keep them close to him. He was lauded for his family commitment and his desire to see his little brother succeed. There was no mention of any trouble when Lynch was drafted, and of course, when I challenged said poster to come forward with something, anything, well, there was nothing. A lot of what I'm reading early this morning (on Presidents' Day, of course) is bigoted or ignorant at best, anti-American at worst, and completely not helpful at all. Despite what Lynch did last year on Chippewa Street (and I believe that he did what he is purported to have done), there's no reason to some of what I've read here. Even if the facts eventually prove those posters to be correct, there's no reason to those posts, at this point. * I saw Tim Graham's earlier comment on this board, and in this thread, about how the media wouldn't necessarily have picked up on this quickly, because they may not have known that the man arrested was an NFL player, because, in turn, the police may not have known. With due respect, I think that's unlikely. At the station, Question 2 should have been, "So, what do you do for a living, Mr. Lynch?" (Right after Question 1, "What brings you to Culver City?") I understand, but do not believe, that Lynch may not have answered the questions. It's become normal for PDs across the country to publicize celebrity arrests before any determination of whether prosecution is proper, unfortunately, and I think it's no accident that this arrest was buried. But it was nice of Mr. Graham to post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to see Marshawn on opening day wooooo BEASTMODE!!!! You may have to wait til game five for that. True. Burress got a long suspension...oh wait what? Burress wasn't suspended? Linkage TAMPA - Plaxico Burress is likely still facing an NFL suspension, but the commissioner is in no rush to judge him because this was the troubled receiver's first offense. That's what Roger Goodell said Friday, in his first public comments on the Burress incident. Asked why the NFL hasn't punished Burress yet, even though it has been two months since the receiver shot himself in the thigh in a Manhattan nightclub and earned himself a suspension from the Giants, Goodell said he prefers to let players have their day in court, unless the player is a repeat offender. "We're looking to deal with repeat offenders, and we may not wait for the legal process to conclude when we have repeat offenders," Goodell said. "You can have a false accusation once, maybe twice. When you start getting into multiple accusations, you're putting yourself in the wrong position, you're making the wrong decisions, you're in the wrong places. At that point in time, you're reflecting poorly on the NFL, yourself, your teammates. That does damage for all of us." In addition to it being Burress' first offense the Giants suspended him for the last four games themselves. This is Marshawn's second offense. Unless it's proven to be much ado about nothing he has a good chance of waiting til game 5 to suit up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
