News Jon Jones arrested for DWI and Firearm Charges

[Kowboy Karl]

This isn't going to a jury lmao

I know

still the test isn’t the end all automatic conviction you said it was

 

[Stop Being Greedy]

I am fine with most of this.. Jones if you follow his social media loves his guns, so if you took those away that would really hit him hard. Not sure if they could do that forever though? Probably just a certain period of time. His license should be gone for a few years. I don't know how he kept getting that back so quickly with past DUI's plus the hit and run? And 3 months in jail like I said I am on board with that.. Some time away would be good for him. Deal with an actual consequence. Point also should be made to him, that a major probation violation going forward, will result in a few years in Prison..

Sounds like we agree in principle, just might differ on specifics.

I don't think he'll change unless he faces something that actually hits him hard. Maybe taking away his right to own a firearm would be that, I can't say what would do it for him. Gun rights can be taken away permanently but in his case, he'd likely be able to request that they be restored down the line after he did what the courts asked of him. And yes, the driver's license should be suspended for a minimum of a year, which I still don't think is enough. I really just want to see him get a taste of what other people who commit these same crimes have to go through, that's all. I hope I'm wrong but I honestly doubt he faces anything beyond a fine and a year or so of probation for this.

I think some jail time would be good for him, and he needs it.. With the Summer coming a few months in Jail should not be out of the question.. But he has good lawyers..

The pregnant woman stuff was wrong but don’t overly give a fuck about this.... if anything it’s a bit pathetic.

lots of fighters are degenerate fuck ups in real life .... Jones just isn’t smart enough to get away with it .

I'd have to disagree, unless he can somehow get it pleaded down or find a way to discredit the test itself he failed.

I mean I am all ears if you have an explanation on how failing the breathilizer does not equal an automatic guilty. I doubt his defence will be fighting the test itself. The gun and whatnot yeah I guess see him finding a way to defend it somehow, but I see no way how he can overturn the failed test. Like I said perhaps pleading down from that charge, but I see no way it isn't an automatic failure.

 

[LTJGE]

What will happen:
1 - He gets a slap on the wrist from the law and the UFC.
2 - Egomaniac child doesn't get taught the consequences of his actions.. again.
3 - Self pitying "apology" and bible verse posted on twitter.
4 - Yes men and fanboys tell him he's doing nothing wrong.
5 - Rinse and repeat next time he fucks up.

 

[BigDramaShow26]

It's crazy man. It's almost like coddling an athlete and letting him get away with whatever he wants doesnt stop him from constantly messing up.

That's pretty much what it is. It's just lame behavior for a grown man who has what 4 daughters? Damn you cant just get AN UBER? How hard is that for someone who is rich? Just wild entitlement behavior.

 

[BigDramaShow26]

I watched the arrest video and it broke my heart. I was surprised I could feel bad for the guy.

I appreciate that he was so respectful to the cops.

That's why he keeps doing what he is doing because people fall for the BS act. Jon is a sociopath.

"Hey pussy are you there?"

Lol the guy is legit crazy. It's kind of scary. I wouldn't be surprised one bit if this dude did a Chris Benoit or OJ in the future. Just some crazy shit.

First, you should read my post history. I'm not one who is under the spell.

Second, I don't believe that was a composed moment on his part. Besides, there is a difference between me pitying him, appreciating how he conducted himself while being arrested, which is a matter of empathy, and how I choose to respond to the facts of the incident, with consideration of his history, which is a matter of sympathy. He enjoys my empathy, here, not my sympathy. He put himself in this position, and the UFC needs to cut him forever. I called for that before with the hit and run. He also needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law with prejudice based on that history.

I'm simply observing that he could have made things a lot worse by treating the police with contempt, and acting indignantly towards their authority. We see that far too often on YouTube these days. He was at least aware he fucked up. His conduct also doesn't bear on my credulousness. He got drunk, and started feenin'...decided to go for a cruise downtown to try his luck finding drugs-- probably his beloved cocaine. The song and dance about randomly being nice to homeless people is a riot.

People fight the accuracy of breathalyzer tests in court quite often. They can be calibrated incorrectly apparently.

 

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

The irony is that an actual punishment would be the help. People like this do not change until they are truly humbled and forced to do so. That has not come even remotely close to happening for Jones thus far. No one can hold his hand and walk him through this, it has to be an internal switch that happens where he makes the decision to change. He's a sociopath though, so he will never think of others the way he does himself and that kind of transformation is not forthcoming.

The only way to even possibly get him to alter his behavior would be for him to start facing severe enough consequences that they actually serve as a deterrent, where he makes a pragmatic decision instead of a moral one to fight his impulses. Even a couple of months in jail (which he's unlikely to get) would still only be a slap on the wrist, when taking his criminal history and the severity of his transgressions here into consideration. Jones won't be done endangering the lives of innocent people until he's truly held accountable. With his money, I can only imagine how much shit he's gotten away with that we're completely unaware of.

He's definitely the kind who keeps fucking up until some judge looks at his record and says "Do not pass GO."

 

[LostMyBlackBelt]

Remember Baseball player Mo Vaughn? This was when he was in his prime:

Vaughn, 30, was arrested Jan. 9 on his way home from a Providence, R.I., strip club after hitting a disabled car in the breakdown lane of Interstate 95 in Norwood. Following the collision, Vaughn's sport utility vehicle rolled over but he suffered no injuries.

He refused the breathalyzer, and failed the field tests.

In the court they said he was "an unemployed seasonal worker" and could not walk the line straight because "he is too obese". He was found not guilty.

I wonder how many times he's done this and just never been stopped by the police?

Did you watch the arrest video? They pulled an open container out of his car; a handle of vodka that was more than half gone.

No, there's no lawyering out of this one. He's fucked on the DUI charge.

as a houston sherbro this is the best dwi lawyer
just read his cases

From trial verdicts to dismissals, all having to do with people who blew over the limit. Many examples of real cases that disprove your logic of “automatic”

Was the car running? If it wasn’t, the lawyer could have fun with that.

Doesn't matter if the key are in the ignition, and he's in the driver's seat. That's where they arrested him.

Also, I'm not sure about New Mexico law, but in California, he's on a public road, not near a place of purchase for the alcohol, and it wasn't properly stored in the trunk (or covered in the back).

I agree, the body cam is the most damning part
