I know it's hard to detect sarcasm sometimes. I got your point though.
Especially at bedtime. One of the problems of this forum for me is that I live in the past remembering the action and the scores and the losses.
As for the thieving though that is the core issue. Sorry boys but you are now common thieves. I owned a car wash and I had to deal with a bunch of shit like that.
I did however rob my own till once to get up a little gambling money. Luckily I won and put it back the same night. Only because I was too lazy to walk back to the house and get my wallet.
I don't find anything honorable at all in this type of theft or any type. My question is how long have they been pulling this? Years and years probably. Who knows how many thousands they have robbed small car washes out of?
Montana Mike don't give a fLlck!
You are right about that. IMO they should be focusing on starting businesses not ripping them off. I don't feel sorry for them at all.
That's something I have never really understood....if someone sees a crime, and reports it, he's a good person. But, if someone commits a crime, and reports his accomplice, he's a scumbag. ????
I don't understand the mentality of calling a rat a scumbag when he helps get another thief off the streets that we now don't have to worry about.
I can understand the thieves being upset about it, but not law abiding citizens.
Actually thats not the excuse... The local was head and shoulders better than me in more than 1 area...
I always subscribed to the you get better by playing better players... I couldn't have even gotten into a game at my comfort level which was $100 sets.. And I surely wasn't gonna be betting more than that knowing I was the dog and the money only "mattered" to me...
Most I have lost was a few thousand to Reed Pierce playing over my comfort level... Heads up... It was an opportunity to get in the box and learn some things.. I was the dog and knew it but I held up pretty well and came away with several lessons from the weekend......
Locally most I have lost is a few hundred in a session.. Familiarity breeds contempt I guess and that's the way it is... I'd rather not even gamble with people I know at this point... Chalk it up to some crossed wires or a bent psyche.... Risk/reward just isn't there for me I guess.. Maybe that's something I need to work on going forward...

well it shows he isnt loyal and cares mostly about himself. If he ever stops being a thief he will likely still have those qualities

It's a brothers-in-arms type of thing. Don't rat out your buddies to save your own skin.
In the first example the person reporting a crime is doing his civic and moral duty. In the second the reporting is only self-serving as well as being doubly incriminating. It's well known that criminals will lie about others in order to reduce their own exposure. But the police of course find that evidence acquired through interrogation and negotiation to be more compelling.
It should be said that no one here knows if Scooter or Tedder implicated anyone else or if the other two were linked by evidence obtained at the scene.
I have a cousin that works in Federal prison. I asked him about not ratting each other out and prison code, like the movies.
He said folks would eat a mile of "poop" and get in line to rat each other out to reduce their own sentences.....

I can't see the prosecutors in Kentucky being easy on them.... Four suspects, one from Alabama, one from Tennessee, and two from Ohio, travelling busting change machines? If I was the prosecutor in that scenario I'd be piling the charges on and going for max time.....
What if they start searching for similar crimes in other cities involving similar suspects and vehicles??? They certainly have been caught on camera before...

If they got any kind of record, they are probably toast-if not they might get off with 90 days -just a guess
Carrying around all the fishing line, glue, tape etc means they were an ongoing criminal bunch-not first timers-that will hurt and nix ANY chance of skating

Sorry, my sarcasm didn't come across clearly enough. Of course a scumbag would rat out his friends. And coincidentally, another scumbag is off the streets.
Its all about votes, power and money.
These nitwits don't have money. The prosecutor in the county that this happened will want to look tough and take care of these out of town guys.
If they lived in the same town, then they would have pressure from local to take it easy on them.
I expect them to put the hammer on them.

Well that's where reality meets psychology.
That's funny
:rotflmao1:
I wonder how the line would be.....
Chances are if there was enough bets someone would get to the jurors and the fix would be on as it has been shown to be with other sports.
Maybe they could all rat out all the players that they ever knew that did it and get less time.
I think they are about a 9 to 1 underdog and will get at least get a couple of years.
Years ago when I was on the road I would go after the drug dealers. You had to be careful though.
I was either lucky or smart or maybe both kinda. That's why I'm still here.
But anytime there was allot of money being bet at pool you had to wonder where it came from.

Once somebody gets the over/under on this thing, they ought to move it over to the Action room. I've got a pocket full of quarters that want to ride on it.

i dont think they will catch to much heat, assuming they have clean records. Honestly "fishing" vending machines isn't like knocking over a 7/11 with a Glock. Now if they have priors then they have problems, I know them but not well enough to know if they have any prior brushes with the law.
the DA'a office has bigger fish to fry than a couple guys fishing quarters, thats a pretty petty crime when you think of it. Dont make it right, they are idiots for doing it and will catch some heat, so if they get stupid again then the full force of the law will come down upon them, but if its a first offense they will get off with lite punishment, they wont be on the chain gang just yet......

they will get credit for time served and a suspended sentence, thats a 90% certainty, based on what i read here. no weapons, hostages, explosives, or other cool stuff that real criminals use.....
i'd be more embarrassed than worried about catching a bid if I was them, next time I see Scooter we'll flip it for $100 like we always do. I'm gonna ask him if I can borrow a quarter.....
I wouldnt be so sure of that Fat, i knew 2 pool players from Baltimore that got caught robbing a soda machine in north west Pa. One was caught before and the other was never caught once, the police found 2500 in their trunk and about a 100 dollars in coins from the machine that they were just caught at.
So when the cops asked them how many machines they robbed, they both said all you have is what you seen, we didnt steal the money in the truck(but of course it was stolen too)
So when the state knew these guys would not talk, they threw the book at them, gave the man thats been caught before 6 months, and the guy that never been caught before 2 months on just misdemenor charges.
I cant believe these guys are not charged with conspiracy, then they would really be ****ed.
I thought if 2 or more people are in cohoots in a crime , then it has to be a conspiracy!
