Re: Bank robber wins 1 mil on lottery ticket-but hes not allowed play
I thought this would bring up the question of whether the lottery is "gambling." But since the prohibition specifically says "no lottery," this is an open/shut case.

Give him the 50k/yr and have him deal with the violation of his probation.

He has a right to have money and do what he wants with it. I think it's just peoples pure jealousy that made that an issue. |

Re: Bank robber wins 1 mil on lottery ticket-but hes not allowed play
so he's a convicted rapist. the law's taking care of him. stop your vigilante sort of justice by implying that because he's a convicted rapist that means nothing else good should happen to him.

Yeah, seriously, one of the most detrimental, for yourself things to do, while also being one of the best, for the commonwealth, things to do is banned for felons? That's not cool.

How arbitrary is it that he's banned from gambling for robbing banks? I mean why not bar him from drinking coffee or watching wheel of fortune.

[/ QUOTE ] Jay, 'sickening' was just a turn of phrase (i.e. why can't it happen to me', not that he doesn't 'deserve the money'. As it happens though, I think rape is a disgusting crime and he should be penalised. Imagine a rape victim wins the lottery next week. All is gravy yeah? No. She has such little-self esteem that no amount of money will make a difference to her life. Not that this has anything to do with it but I just finished second in a Crypto donkament! Happy days! Damn thought this was bbv4l! |
