I Didn't Know I Couldn't Do That

So we've all heard about Stephen Jackson and his pistola slinging, "Wyatt F***ing EarP!!!" incident. If it shocked you, you should probably start selling whatever pills you are on, rather than taking them and walking around in oblivion (Mike Tyson shout out). Jackson has been a ticking time bomb ever since he came into the league, but in this blog I'm not gonna make obvious judgements about his actions from this most recent incident. Instead, I prefer to highlight some funny/eye-brow raising things from an article I read about the shooting. The first regards Jamaal "Uncle of the Big Sleepy" Tinsley:

"Officers said they found a small amount of marijuana in the passenger-side door
of point guard Tinsley's car. But no arrests were made because there were three
others in Tinsley's car and police could not determine who had the marijuana,
authorities said."

So wait a second. Are you telling me the "It's not mine" excuse actually worked here? There are four people here. It's obviously somebody's. How 'bout the guy sitting in the passenger seat for starters! Excellent police work fellas.

The second funny thing regards our boy Stephen "Regulator: You gotta be handy with the steel"Jackson:

"The Indianapolis Star reported on Monday that Jackson has had his
probation extended one year after he did not complete the terms of the sentence
he received for the 2004 brawl at the Palace of Auburn Hills."

I feel bad that I didn't see this one coming. His stupidity is shocking and appauling. It's only a matter of time he goes the route of Lawrence Phillips, Maurice Clarrett, and so many others. I guarantee you, that extended probation will come back to bite him.
