Or are you going the way of Oz

Do you have one of those Auntie Em storm cellars

Naaa we New Englanders prefer to stay and go down with the ship.

Ronnie316 — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 20:35:50 GMT

Perhaps you should have hopped on a flight out of town over the week end

Comment #29

mcginnin56 — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 20:32:51 GMT

Lets see winds gusting to 60+ mph already, rain coming down is sheets, smaller trees already snapping like toothpicks.

All schools, non-emergency state government, businesses shut down.

Sandy isn't even going to hit our area until tomorrow afternoon!

But Boner was correct, it is exceedingly mild and pleasantly moist.

Comment #28

Ronnie316 — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 20:15:30 GMT

How are conditions?????? Cant help but quote one of our esteemed LP members in your area.....

And I quote, the great Boner.....

Conditions are exceedingly mild and pleasantly moist.

Comment #27

Ronnie316 — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 20:10:33 GMT

Right, alleged criminals are human and have rights. And why was $7000. in cash laying around

Comment #26

mcginnin56 — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 20:05:09 GMT

Yeah sounds like he just got mixed up with the wrong crowd of people.

Just happen to be at the wrong place at the right time.

Hopefully the sympathetic judge will drop all charges, in lieu of all the mental stress he suffered.

Comment #25

Ronnie316 — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 18:39:38 GMT

I think there is a very good chance he will be proven innocent in a court of law.......

In that case a long term commitment may be a good option.

Comment #24

mcginnin56 — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 18:14:49 GMT

BTW those are special reduced rates for down and out lotto losers.

A long term commitment wouldn't be totally out of the question.

Comment #23

Ronnie316 — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 18:11:40 GMT

At those rates you may hope to stay booked up.......

Comment #21

mcginnin56 — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 18:08:20 GMT

No problem, just an additional $200 surcharge per visit. (maximum of 10 visits per week).

Comment #20

Ronnie316 — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 18:05:28 GMT

For that much he would want you to give conjugal visits......

Comment #19

mcginnin56 — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 17:58:21 GMT

He could sign it over to me, and I will agree to be his probation officer.

Comment #18

Ronnie316 — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 17:51:34 GMT

He could just sign over the $50k per year.... Its BETTER than doing time......

Comment #17

Ronnie316 — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 17:50:12 GMT

Is that kinda like.... Two wrongs, don't make it right...

Comment #16

hardtime19 — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 15:51:44 GMT

He will have to pay for his defence so the lawyer will get it all. He does not get a public defender. One crook will meet another crook the lawyer

Ronnie316 — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 14:48:47 GMT

Good point GAS, anyone can go over the edge and commit a crime.

Comment #14

Ronnie316 — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 14:45:16 GMT

Good thing they plead not guilty her eye witness testimony may not stand up with a good lawyer.

Comment #13

Ronnie316 — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 14:43:55 GMT

Could they have thought up a few more randomly named charges to bring against them

Comment #12

Ronnie316 — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 14:41:55 GMT

Who has a safe and $7000. cash in their apartment

Comment #11

GASMETERGUY — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 14:27:48 GMT

This puts the lie to the fact that poverty creates crime.

jamella724 — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 12:59:35 GMT

Are these people really desperate in having lots of money? What was running on their minds to act that way? On the lighter side, Facebook really helped in solving the crime...that's Facebook.

Facebook never pays...............

Worthless ................

Comment #7

NightStalker — Sun, 28 Oct 2012 18:34:03 GMT

Apparently having $35k just handed to you every year isn't enough of an incentive to keep your life together. I hope he gets 10 years and the victims sue him for a large amount.

HaveABall — Sun, 28 Oct 2012 16:11:04 GMT

Yes, RedStang, stupid, cruel, and evil people rules.

Comment #5

RedStang — Sun, 28 Oct 2012 15:53:19 GMT

Good time for the lotto to update its rules on stupid people. If he goes to jail, they should make him pay to stay.

Comment #4

ChazzMatt — Sun, 28 Oct 2012 15:18:51 GMT

He s getting $50k per year for 20 years and decides he still needs to rob people? OK, if you feel you can t live on free $50,000 a year, after taxes are taken out, then go get a part time job.

If Blount is found guilty, a felony conviction won't affect his annual $50,000 payday, the lottery said.

The lottery is obligated to pay out the total prize amount for the duration of its payment schedule unless the winner has a lien placed on the winnings or there is a court-ordered injunction dire... [ More ]

maringoman — Sun, 28 Oct 2012 15:00:18 GMT

From receiving $35,000 a year without having to do any work to living in jail and possibly losing the remaining

future payout if the victims sue for emotional distress arising from the home invasion. Crime never pays.

Comment #2

mcginnin56 — Sun, 28 Oct 2012 13:21:55 GMT

It would appear that winning a large prize in MA is conducive to having crime sprees.

The lottery commission should be putting warning advisories on all their tickets.

Original Bey — Sun, 28 Oct 2012 13:21:43 GMT

Thieves learn from this: STAY OFF Facebook!

Needless to say, it takes all kinds to keep this lottery thing going.

2007 lottery winner accused of armed robbery

Lottery Post — Sun, 28 Oct 2012 13:13:02 GMT

A suspect charged with the armed home invasion and robbery of a couple who had just returned from their honeymoon won $1 million in the Massachusetts Lottery in 2007.

Rashad Blount, 26, formerly of Middleboro and now of Dorchester, won the $1 million grand prize in the Lottery's $800 Million Spectacular instant game on Feb. 12, 2007.

He bought the $10 scratch ticket at a store in Middleboro and was to receive annual payments of $50,000, minus taxes, for the next 20 years.
