Yes you did......very publicly. These are the exact words:
From Eddie's MySpace page:
I refuse to goto prison becasue of court costs and I will cash in my chips and try my luck in the next life it comes to that !
You clearly threatened suicide if you don't get $2500 in the next 4 days. How else can that be interpreted?
Smorg does not get serious unless something serious is going on. Did you happen to notice he got serious?
AND... get over the notion that anything you put on the net is private.
Apparently you missed the quotes of the word in question...
I never said I was entaining the idea I simply was stating what I going to do.. there was zero threat to it !
I am too tired to be punished criminally for a civil issue.. to send someone off to prison for 5 yrs for 2500.00 is pretty sad and wrong especially sinice I am NOT out screwing off or getting into trouble.. the only thing I do is work weird hrs and take care of grandma in between....
Here's the irony.... I would still owe the money when I got out so you tell me how this benefits me to waste 5yrs in jail over a few dollars to loose EVERYTHING I have and then are forced to start completely over with my past record ???
I have put everything I have into my business and are trying to be successful and prove to the world that just becasue you screwed up in your past.. that doesnt have to dictate your future !
According to general concensus I am suppose to fail and are doomed to be a loser and make nothing of my life becasue of my "label" I chose otherwise and are proving it to myself and everyone else ! this is alot of the reason why I retailiate so harshly when provoked or attacked on here...
The judge even brought to my atention that I afforded private council in the past and that showed him that if he put pressure on me than I would come up with the money now.... what he did'nt understand is that I had a few extra bucks back then before I sunk it all in my business trying to be successful and not end up like they expect me to !
So given the situation I just explained.. do you see where "threatened" is not applicable at all ?
This IS a do or die situation..... the score is 6 to 6... the wager is death to the loser ! cueball is frozen to the head rail... 9-ball is staring me in the face in a direct line to the corner pocket from the middle of the table.... everything is riding on this shot.. yes I have been in this exact situation before except the wager was a few dollars less and I not only made the 9-ball...I fired it in with authority ! this is the same scenario with slightly different stakes......."get the picture"
Those who know me personally will attest to my persona and determination regardless of the direction this may have gone !
Fortunately for me and Grandma I have enough offers from fellow AZ'rs that I won't have to take the proverbial "shot" just incase my efforts are futile....
Those of you "strangers" for the most part, who have offered to help me out in this crisis I am having will NEVER know just how much this means to me and the depth of appreciation and respect I have for you....
I just want to say thankyou at the very least for the sincere offers !
I will let everyone know the outcome in the next couple of days... in the meantime I need to buff out Charlies cue and box it up before something bad happens again :embarrassed2:
Very Sincerely, Eddie WHeat
