I'm sure there are some here who think this woman should go to jail.
To: Rodney King
Everybody knows in order to not get in trouble, you must stick to $20 football.

This is just sickening. Freedom has totally died in this country.
To: Rodney King
Not here. This is ludicrous. Hopefully the jury will throw the prosecutors out of the court bodily and tell them to do something useful

Let them speak up so we can ridicule and ostracize them.

"There's no way to rule innocent men.
The only power government has is the power to crack down on criminals.
When there aren't enough criminals, one makes them.
One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws."

"The charges stem from a Nov. 20 investigation by state Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control agents into an anonymous tip that lodge members bet on NFL games."
They need to find the bluenosed snitch and throw him out of the lodge...

Hell, we had a $100 per square deal on the OSU-Michigan game. $10000 at stake. Since the VP of Operations and the Director of Manufacturing both bought a square, we were safe.
No Feds, thankfully.

I've done this several times. I guess I should be doing life without parole.

Why are the police putting these fraternal organizations out of business?
What has our society come to? You can have a a bunch of perverts parading with police protection but get a few guys having a few beers and having a good time and all hell breaks loose.

Moral Absolutes Ping!
Oops. Not my ping list...
To: Rodney King
This couldn't have even cut into the local lotto or scratch off sales... /sarc
Why were "armed agents" not sent to secure our boarders instead. (That is not /sarc.)

The NCAA basketball tournament is coming up - if this were enforced uniformly it would shut down the American economy.

I really think it is because...

Time to turn illegal gambling over to the illegals so it would be OK.

I was always under the impression that pools were legal so long as the house didn't keep a portion of the proceeds - perhaps it depends on the state.

If a government has the time and money to spend resources on investigating and charging people running the local lodge's $50 football pool, that government is far, far too big and intrusive.
A whole lot of laws need to be repealed.
