    He can't even use the age old justification of it being a victimless crime if human trafficking was involved. Very different than Trump's problem with who-ers.

    In NC your supposed to get your DL w/in 60days of perm residence...

    Of course how can you know... so we see vehicles from other states (sometimes they show an exp date on the tag, reg on windows, etc). And other states expired vehicles probably aren't NC jurisdiction.

    Perhaps, but if it was your land would you take it? Talk is cheap

    I wouldn't like it, but you really have little recourse.

    Oh boy glad you said that. We had all but 50 ft of our back yard taken through emminant domain for an expressway. They gave good money and we still were able to use everything up to the fence. The people behind us refused to leave. They actually started the road around them. In the end they left their tiny old mobile home and got a NEW 3 bed two bath house on 5 acres. State paid.
    Now when one looks at the width of fence the width of service road these "ranchers" won't be losing a,ton of usable land. What this is about is getting more than the going market rate per acre. This is simply a money ploy.
    This said, IF it is not, authorities need to thoroughly look into these owners finances and affiliations. Are they may be in bed with the Cartel ,smugglers,ect ect

    So Adam Schefter has said that Robert Kraft isn't even the biggest name in all of the arrests.

    Jupiter, FL has a lot of big name golfers and high profile athletes in and near the area.

    What would be a bigger name? Lebron James? Michael Jordan? I think Schefter's FOS.

    Minus someone cheating on their wife or abusing an underage prostitute, is what he did that terrible on a scale of 1 to 10? Like maybe a 2?

    The local news channel is running a story on CWD, Oklahoma has had zero cases so far but we are surrounded by states that do have confirmed CWD. My rant, they're calling it zombie deer disease. Just plain f******g stupid. I honestly feel like getting in the truck and going to the news channel just to kick a producer and a reporter's teeth in. Just another hook story with zero purpose. Y'all think the national news is something, come on out to Oklahoma, we have the dumbest bunch of sob broadcasters you've never wanted to see.

    Exactly, when I first heard it I thought he was being charged with the sex trafficking part of it, but an $80 handjob, meh its not uncommon anymore.

    The part that could escalate this is the female workers, apparently some of them were being held there and not allowed to leave. Might come down to how much did the "high profile" players know about the place amd did any of them fund it aside from guilty pleasure?

    That was the first name that came to mind, but there are a lot of them down there. It would be the last thing he needs right now as he's trying to reclaim his status on the course. Actually hope he is smart enough now to stay away from something like that.

    Unless higher charges come up for some, it's misdemeanor charges and they can afford the fines. It will be their PR's nightmare and possible loss of sponsorships more than their embarassment in the public eye.

    You need to look at this clearly. This isn't just some prostitutes. It was many Chinese woman forced into sexual servitude. In other words sex slavery.
    Think about that just a moment, because what do you think happens to many of these American teens and woman that disappear? Do you think they aren't smuggled overseas? Half the time these guys going to such places have "off" appetites, Appetites even a higher class worker wouldn't let fly.

    Good points. And I agree with you if they forced into that life. If it were some curb side prostitute then I stand by what I said.
