Has Michael Jones been in trouble with the law before?

That video is just totally pathetic, Jersey. Unreal. I havent had time to read back through the earlier pages unfortunately.

It's horrible, isn't it? Well trust me when I say you should read up on what you missed. Gotta run. :seeya:

Bumping for PrairieWind & Elley...

I can't find any information on him.

jmo i think m jones is the smart one, he did'nt get a deal,but he was honest, - but he is called weak and a snitch? do we not want people to be honest.
i see edwards as the weakest, and he's taken everyone down with him including his family, his sister is not like him(I read her fb)
he's a 15 yr old kid, who is so needy for attention that he posts pics, words , vids that incriminate himself -and people he knows!. He is not very smart or worldly, theres nothing cool or gangsta about him. edwards is a kid that has done an adult crime, his life is done - just cause he wants to impress anonymous people on the internet.

I don't believe this is a racial crime, there are thugs of every race and every social standing. They are just inclined to hang with those of similar mindsets within in their community. And white kids call each other - hey my nxxxa- it means nothing it is just trendy to talk gangsta at this time. jmo

You may not. Juvenile records are usually sealed.

IMO Michael Jones is scared chitless and that's why he had that outburst when he heard how much time he's facing. Snitches...I'll bet his boys don't appreciate being ratted on. I'll bet they have friends in jail, several...and they'll stick up for those that didn't run their mouths. He specifically said, when referring to the bros in jail for armed robbery, that they'll kill him. It was their brother that he said they gave the gun to.

Now to research some more... :websleuther:

The link shows 404.

Having said that if Michael Jones was driving while they shot a helpless animal to death....

He made his choice. Do the crime, do the time. Or hit the brakes HARD and run for your life before your little gang banging homies start shooting at you (which they won't do cause they would be stunned).

If it turns out he saw an animal shot to death before they cruised for the human...hang him.

And thank you Jersey Girl...you are busy researching and it is VERY much appreciated!

This case is still all over the news here. It has certainly started a national dialogue here. We are being asked to consider the safety of the countries we choose to visit. We are being asked to check our government site for travel warnings and risks, as many of us already do before travelling to 3rd world and some other countries.

It is so hard for Aussies to accept that this kind of random act can happen. The worst that would have happened here is that the offenders would have yelled something derogatory at Chris. Maybe they would have thrown an empty drink can at him. Maybe a rock … but even that is doubtful.

There seems to be no fear of repercussions or consequences in these offenders. For some strange reason, it seems that the repercussions and consequences may even glorify them in the eyes of their direct peers. Something is very broken.

Yeah. About a year ago I was on a shuttle bus from the Los Angeles airport to a hotel. There was an Aussie couple in front of me.

After a bit of friendly chat I told them to watch out because certain areas of Los Angeles were dangerous. Told them be careful where they go, pay attention to their surroundings, if it seems bad get out. The male confidently said "All people are the same, just people, we will be fine" while the woman looked over at me and got the message.

All countries have crimes and it seems today that there is no place on earth that you are 100% safe. This crime however has drawn attention because of it's very nature. They very well may have thought, at the time, they were going to get away with it. Even if they were caught they'd be out by age 21. Hopefully that will never be the case. No one ever does something this horrendous without a reason. That is what we all want to know.....why? And how do we stop this from happening again. jmo

No country is 100% safe, but there are VAST differences.

I read the traveler warnings before I visited Iran. The main official U.S. warning said there were purse snatches reported on a specific road, and Americans should avoid any political demonstrations. No joke, official gov website, apparently a few purse snatchings is a major big deal and that was the top warning!

It made me think, if similar warnings were posted about traveling to the U.S....Lordy!

Why? Perhaps it is because they can.

Young males in the 15-25 year bracket are known to be generally high-adrenalin, high-testosterone risk takers. They often drive their cars too fast, drink too much, have unprotected sex, etc etc. They think they are infallible.

jmo .. australia - you are more likely to get a beat down or the dreaded king hit, - uk - the boot stomp and knives are quite popular - usa- guns. no country is without a violent preference of some sort. Gangs- the internet has given them a power of communication and coercion, which they did not have before and is very problematic. moo

In Oz they do that. In the U.S. some decide to shoot guys in the back for fun.

Big difference imo. And it isn't a gun problem.

 

[Jersey*Girl]

I can't find any information on him.

All I found was his Facebook that I posted yesterday. Usually I can mess around with coding to figure out aliases and hiding places on the net it haven't seen anything else yet. It doesn't make any sense to me bc his buddies were all over the net. It's bugging me. Can't put my finger on it.

No, it’s not a gun problem. IMO it is a gang problem, and a gun availability problem.

I have no idea why. Could it be bc I'm on an iPad so it's pulling mobile links? Are you guys on a pc or mac? If so, try taking the mobile digits off of the end of the link. I'll go back and look now & see if I can figure it out. All the links are working perfectly for me so it has to be something silly like that. Brb.

[Hopeful One]

I haven't been keeping up with this thread, sorry, but I have been looking for audio of the FULL 911 call. Anyone have a link? TIA

Iran is not a good example. Apparently if you report a crime as a victim you are the one who ends up in jail, at least if you are a woman. So each country does have their problems whether they publicize it or not. jmo
