I think it is absurd that Michael Phelps is not being charged on account of "lack of evidence". They have a picture for petes sake showing him with the bong. The only reason he is not being charged is because he is an olympic gold medalist!
ReplyDeleteonly in america can a celebrity get off the hook because a photo of them doing something illegal is "insufficient evidence" That's sickening. -TJ-

ReplyDeleteits brian waltos!
that seton hill stand off was crazy!
i heard about it this morning, when my dad was talking about it.
some people are crazy haha
That is ridiculous that Michael Phelps will not face criminal charges. "We do not believe we have enough evidence to prosecute anyone." Honestly I think thepicture of him physically smoking out of a bong is enough evidence to face criminal charges.

ReplyDeleteI think that followers of Catholicism are so closed minded that they don't realize that the Church's doctrines keep changing. Besides what idiot would pay to have their sins forgiven. I think the Catholic Church personally should looking at what the Bible says concerning forgiveness and penence, since they do claim to be Christians.
Hey ms sebastianell its Zane. How's it going?
ReplyDeleteAbout the gaza strip issue, I don't care what some people think about not attacking and being more diplomatic, these people are shooting rockets at innocent civilians so why doesn't Israel just finish gaza and launch a massive invasion to stop it. These people are not diplomatic, they just want to cause terror for Israel. To a certain point, you can't sit down and talk to terrorists.
I honestly don't see why people are so outraged by Phelps getting off easy. I mean so he smoked some weed big deal most people do and if i were him and accomplished what he has i would party it up too. i just wouldn't take pictures.. =P as long as he dosn't plan on competing while hes doing drugs I wouldn't really care what he did.
ReplyDeletei think it is crazy that Michael Phelps did not face any kind of charge what so ever. The evidence shown was straight forward and easily searched.
