I would recommend he contact the DA and request to speak to the Grand Jury (if this is allowed where he is). He can basically make the case that he was wrong but it would be an unnecessary cost to taxpayers to prosecute him for something like this. If he is proactive and contacts the District Attorney, he may be able to plea it down to not get an indictment, save him and the court a lot of money.

What does it matter if one can speak another language?

“You must be a juvenile. You argue like a liberal, attacking me for stating the truth and attempting to divert from the topic.”

I guess that I would treat my friends differently - so my original point stands.

how many languages can you speak ?

Three, if you include English and bad English ;-)

You need to realize that your article reads like it was written by a LOL Cat. It's really quite painful to process.

This “ girlfriend “ that you mentioned. Please post her picture. It can help establish guilt or innocence.

“In some places fireworks are prohibited simply because of the background fire hazard.”

And most of the time there’s NOT a rational reason whatsoever. I guess my level of confidence for government to always do the “right thing” is a bit lower than yours.

I don’t draw conclusions and treat people like dirt (like the other guy seems to do here) until I know a bit more.

Sounds like the 90 days is the “up to a maximum of” kinda deals.Still, would like to know what he had and where this happened.

I think the poster is implying that English is not her(?) first language. That still doesn't explain the extremely poor "blog-style" format.

I've saved a copy of the original post. In the event of an accidental poisoning, I'll use it to induce vomiting.

The only people I’ve run across that put weight to and measure a persons worth by how many languages one speaks were... liberal trolls.
We had one here not too long ago who went on and on about how “everyone” in europe was so muich smarter because they ‘all’ spoke multiple languages etc etc.
He instead proved that you could speak more than one language and still be a bumbling moron.

I suppose there was no "fire hazard" when the people of Philadelphia filled the sky with fireworks upon learning that the Continental Army had defeated the British at the Battle of Yorktown.

I’m having a hard time buying this story. I think your girlfriend’s brother is lying about the extent of his illegal activities. Most of the time with illegal fireworks the police issue a citation that can be paid without a court appearance. Maybe the guy had C-4 explosives and his name is Muhammed?

It was only a 10 ft string of firecrackers...
It was only a few beers...
It was only some grass...
It was only 20 mph over the limit...
It was only one mistress...

You get my drift.

Well, for your information, it was a rational reason here to keep them illegal since we hadn't had rain in several weeks before the fourth of July.

Some idiots almost burned down a few houses by illegally using them and running off and leaving lawns on fire. IMO, they should have done hard time for it.

I'm sure they would have plead 'sorry we were just having fun' if someone had lost a house and/or family to a fire!

You mean to say he demonstrated his oratory skills in the discipline of Bovine Scatology?

I didn’t realize Philadelphia was as populated then as it is today. What a dumb argument.

I wonder why the poster won’t post the jurisdiction.

Sounds kinda fishy asking for legal advice when nobody knows which State the offense occurred in.
