Ex, the crime is not vehicular homocide or manslaughter, it was reckless driving, and it was his 2nd offense of that nature, thus opening up the possiblity for a maximum 90 day sentence. If they had charged him with something else, then he would've been doing more time right now. Because of the circumstances of the accident and because JR was not under the influence of anything, they didn't go with the manslaughter charges, which would be the only other legit and possible option in this case.

Whatever the case, I agree that he should not be allowed to drive. He won't be driving until 2012 or something as it is now, but you've gotta draw the line somewhere, especially for someone who can easily afford a driver or can travel in other ways.

I see. Well since he won't be driving for a while, I can't say anything about that.

Re: J.R. Smith gets 30 days in Prison

not big a deal imo

we should start posting about players community or charity activities

there is more of it to post than this

f.e.: http://www.crossoverfoundation.org/

to sum up, there are more postive things happening around Nba that need to be acknowledged

Atleast where i grew up goin to prison was "glorified"... in a way...JR seems liek he wants to personify that "im a tough guy" mentality.

and he seems liek the kind of person who would feel proud to have done a bid... i see it all the time.

Except it's COUNTY JAIL, and he's in there for accidentally killing his best friend. Pretty sure he won't be bragging about that...

Youre probably right.

but i wasnt talking about the action that caused him to be in there... more so about being there.

I know people that brag all the time about going to county.

Re: J.R. Smith gets 30 days in Prison

Unless you wanna be technical, there really isn't that much of a difference between Prison or Jail because either way, you don't want to spend more than a day in either place. I know plenty of people that are either in or were in jail and they weren't saying "Man I wish I was in Jail/Prison instead of being here in Prison/Jail."

Atleast where i grew up goin to prison was "glorified"... in a way...JR seems liek he wants to personify that "im a tough guy" mentality.

and he seems liek the kind of person who would feel proud to have done a bid... i see it all the time.

That's everywhere though, regarding the "being glorified by going to prison" part.

I'm pretty sure he's not thinking "That's right Mother *******, im going to Jail. I'm doin' my hard mother ******* time and moving up to OG status when I get out of here", especially when he knows he shouldn't be there in the first place.

Re: J.R. Smith gets 30 days in Prison

LOL i didnt say all that....you went so overboard.

but i bet you its a "Badge of Honor"

and i know you know what im talkin about.

we all know people who act like tough guys cause they been in county...adds to the persona.

Re: J.R. Smith gets 30 days in Prison

LOL My bad man. I did go a little overboard with it but I definitely do know what you mean.

Re: J.R. Smith gets 30 days in Prison

I wonder if it's a New York thing, or just the parts of Brooklyn and Queens where I grew up, but when you heard someone was going to jail it SUCKED. They were out hustling and making money and now they're locked up. It wasn't a badge of honor. If anything, people were looked at as being stupid for being caught.
