OT: The News Thread

Honest question - what happens to this crackstarter money if either of these two things occur...

1. The video is fake (very very unlikely)
2. They lose it, don't sell it, whatever.

Is there a refund policy?

selling weapons illegally is commonplace? really?

... and just a couple months ago, the NRA was shouting from the mountaintops that gun legislation won't stop criminals from having guns on the street because of so many illegal sales going on.
Besides, how does a picture on his phone of someone holding a gun, (even if it was his hand) say that there was an illegal gun sale? Does the picture prove him to be in the business of arms sales? If you believe that was his hand holding the gun, are you certain that was HIS gun, not somebody else's?
You're off your fvcking rocker again if you think that picture is proof of anything.
 
Saying Martin was a bad kid because of all this other stuff to take blame away from Zimmerman is like blaming rape victims for how they dress.

I don't care how "bad" a person is. You can't arm yourself and play cops and robbers.

Yep. Amazing logic. She deserved it because she wore a thong under her short skirt, and dropped her cell phone while walking in front of me.
But don't worry, her body has ways to "shut that all down."

Think they said that they will donate the money to a rehab centre if they don't verify that the video is real and/or the drug dealers are not reachable.
 
Apparently there is an issue with getting ahold of the dealers. Gawker has admitted they can't reach the guys...

Wouldn't be surprised to see them hold out for MORE money than the 200k. They hold all the power, afterall.
 
No concern on their part that they would just get arrested upon acquisition of the money? I mean, they are drug dealers - and high profile ones at that.

May have just been spooked. That, or the video really is BS.
 
Regardless of it being BS or not - Something is going on with Ford. He should have made a real statement about this 5 days ago.

it isn't even clear that those pictures will be admitted as evidence. this is just jury tampering and nothing more. jury selection is going to be a real mess now.
 
my boy wouldn't give me deets, but apparently the globe will drop a bomb on ford in the morning. can't wait.
 
This could be it....just popped up on the Globe&Mail website 15 minutes ago

This investigative report reveals that:

Doug Ford, Toronto Mayor Rob Ford’s brother, sold hashish for several years in the 1980s.
Another brother, Randy, was also involved in the drug trade and was once charged in relation to a drug-related kidnapping.
Their sister, Kathy, has been the victim of drug-related gun violence.

In the 1980s, anyone wanting to buy hashish had to know where to go. And in central Etobicoke, the wealthy Toronto suburb where Mayor Rob Ford grew up, one of those places was James Gardens. In the evening, the sports cars often wound along Edenbridge Drive, past the gated homes and the lawn-bowling pitches, until they reached the U-shaped parking lot. By nightfall, the public park was a hash drive-thru. One former street dealer, whom we will call “Justin,” described the scene as “an assembly line.”

This weekend, The Globe and Mail is publishing an extensive examination of the Toronto Ford family’s decades-old connection to illicit drugs. We are doing so with utmost caution, journalistic rigour and legal scrutiny – ultimately believing that Torontonians and, more broadly, Canadians need to understand the background of the most politically powerful family in the country’s biggest city.

An 18-month investigation by reporters Greg McArthur and Shannon Kari reveals that Toronto Mayor Rob Ford’s brother Doug sold hashish for several years in the 1980s, in the Toronto suburb of Etobicoke. Another brother, Randy, was also involved in the drug trade, and charged in relation to a drug-related kidnapping. Their sister, Kathy, has been the victim of drug-related gun violence.

Mr. McArthur, one of the country’s most respected investigative reporters, began work on this project in late 2011, in an attempt to detail the history of the Fords. Although Rob Ford had been well-documented as a councillor and mayor, little existed on the public record about his older brother Doug, who has emerged as a force in the mayor’s office and across the city.

We have approached Rob and Doug Ford several times to speak to the allegations. A senior Globe editor visited Doug Ford, privately, to explain the purpose of our research. Doug Ford rebuffed our entreaties, and aggressively threatened legal action.
