You need haters. Fellas if you got 20 haters, you need 40 of them motherfuckers. If there's any haters in here that don't have nobody to hate on, feel free to hate on me

quote:

Tixier told MMAFighting.com on Tuesday that felonies and misdemeanors are not put on the same charging document in New Mexico. Jones is currently being charged with a felony: leaving the scene of an accident involving death or personal injury. He was arrested Monday night and will be arraigned Tuesday afternoon with regards to that charge. Any marijuana possession charge would be a misdemeanor, Tixier said. The thinking behind the state precedent, Tixier said, is that it doesn't give the defendant the ability to just take a plea deal for the misdemeanor. Jones is facing the felony charge right now and the marijuana possession charge could be revisited later, either by law enforcement, the prosecution or if the felony case goes to a grand jury.


Sounds like he'll actually be prosecuted twice and, I'm not a lawyer, but he might have trouble getting a plea deal?

I'm pretty sure you can just about always get a plea deal, it just becomes a worse deal the more evidence they have against you. Generally prosecutor's don't like going to trial due to the time, expense, and possibility of a not guilty verdict. The only exception I can think of is when a prosecutor is seeking the death penalty, which can obviously only be obtained from a guilty trial verdict.

I don't know why Jones doesn't just own the fact that he's a horrible human being and find peace with himself. His holier than thou facade has been shattered a long rear end time ago.

Has anyone made a Saint Row reenactment yet? He could even do the crouch chop before he leaves the scene.

UFC fighter pay is incredibly opaque, but Jones is was almost certainly making low 7 figures.

After bonuses and backstage pay I've heard anywhere from 3-5 million.

He defended his belt what, 8 times? So even lowballing it and not counting any of his pre-champ fights he's worth at least 20 mil on fights alone not counting endorsements? This is why rappers and football players have posses. Jon Jones needs a posse.

No.

I think Jon Jones knows he could pay someone to drive him around. Jon Jones enjoys driving while high and drunk because every time he gets away with it he feels good. He feels good so he does more drugs, then drives more places, and he does this for months and months until he hits something.

For 20 mil he could be doing way better things than driving drunk like paying midgets to fight to the death while doing lines of dessicated baby foreskin in Thailand. Or something.

Jones has two brothers who are both NFL players with pay in the low millions and they've openly said he makes more than them combined.

After taxes? Probably closer to 1.8 mil per fight

After cocaine? The clothes he's presently wearing and half of his cat

He has a history of drug use, a felony at least upcoming, and is an easy mark for a prosecutor looking to make a name. He also injured someone. He could end up doing anything from a year to nothing depending on the DA.

she just broke her arm guys. it wasn't serious bodily injury or death so if you're expecting Jon to get a felony or anything along those lines you're kind of kidding yourselves

I would say that a broken arm would, yes, qualify as serious bodily injury.

jones lost a ton of fans back when he bragged about being a snitch, how perfect that he went down for not only drugs but being a general piece of poo poo as well. he's finally exposed. still i feel bad for enjoying someone's suffering so much. it would have been way cooler if AJ just knocked him out instead.

If he just ran from the accident, it would be a misdemeanor. New Mexico law specifically states that it becomes a felony once someone is injured in the hit and run. Doesn't matter how bad the injury is, it is still a felony. From what I understand, the broken arm means it is like a grade-3 felony, so it's not as serious if she would have died, but it is still a felony.

I think it's time we all admit Jon Jones never snitched on anybody. There was only one boy who hid weed in his textbook at his school, and that boy was Jon Jones, and he went home and smoked it. Years later in an interview he fabricated the whole story for his image.

Anecdotal, but here in CA, I had a co-worker get a DUI in a bad bike crash where he hurt himself significantly. They counted his own injuries against him and made it a felony. He got a year but he had at least 1 previous DUI and will probably only do 6 months.

Who gives a poo poo if she just broke her arm? He's a retard who ran a red light and ploughed his car into a pregnant woman. He's crazy lucky she didn't miscarry or worse.

Real talk, the apologetic poo poo ain't really that funny anyway, but it's doubly so when you're trying to spin him being a oval office to this degree into something that's not so bad.

He's also pretty lucky he's Jon Jones because if it were my family, I'd go beat the long streak of piss into a wheelchair for the rest of his days. I guess I'd take around 5 baseball bats and try to do it anyway.

Having a colleague who lost his wife and spent 5 months in a coma last year after a drunk driver hit them puts this into perspective for me.

Jones is a POS regardless of the injuries he caused this time, and should at the very least get a lifetime ban from driving, year in jail and get sued.

If I was that rich I'd have a driver on call regardless of whether I'm drunk or not.

2nd point, have any of you heard the rumours that Malki Kawa is a former drug dealer and may still dabble in sourcing the good stuff for his friends?
