You really want to get pissed? Doa search on our government leaders(congressmen & senators) and see how many of them have records for bouncing checks, DUIs, etc. In other words, things the rest of us would spend time in jail for. They commit these same offenses as us but at a higher percentage rate but spend a proportionately smaller time in jail for those same offenses.

Thought this might make an interesting read, Who is this group of people?

36 have been 'accused' of spousal abuse
7 have been arrested for fraud
19 have been accused of writing bad checks
'117' have 'directly' or in-directly 'bankrupted' at least 2 businesses
3 have done time for assault
71, repeat - 71 cannot get a credit card; due to bad credit
14 have been arrested on 'drug-related' charges
8 have been arrested for shoplifting
21 currently are defendants in lawsuits, and
84 have been arrested, for drunk driving in the last year
Can you guess which organization this is?

NBA or NFL......?
Give up yet? .
Neither,
it's the 435 members of the United States Congress
The same group of 'Idiots' that crank out hundreds of new laws each year,
designed to keep the rest of us in line.

This jackbutt has been a twaddlecock since he was a kid.
My family tree has deep roots in the Ward/Flandreau area where this dipchit was born. He has a rap sheet longer than this 6'6" plowjocks' arm. Started when he was 13, he got off for that also. If I remember right, it was 'rape'.
You really didn't need to fan the flames for this Ol' Boy. He should be some "cell *****" for an inmate in Sioux Falls.
Last I checked, guys, SoDak is STILL a 'red' state. Not sure why, jus' is.

When they passed the tough DUI laws here in Mn, they stopped a legislator heading back to Duluth, drunk as a skunk. When the LEO stopped him, his comment, "We passed that law for the other ppl"
How frikkin' arrogant. Yea, I'd say they are 'outta touch'.

What do you call a lawyer with an IQ of 50?




"Your Honor"

BTW, my oldest sister lives 4 blocks from the Hyvee. I know that parking lot, it is confusing as H*ll. It's big, square and flat. That can be confuss-ing for some folks. Bwahahaha

100 days in jail and probation for running a stop sign and killing a biker. That's why he thinks he's above the law. He didn't get any significant punishment.

From a 2003 article:

Janklow's heavy accelerator foot is legendary with state employees who rode with him when he was governor and reporters who tagged along during disasters. Just last summer, two reporters were riding with Janklow when he made a 99 mph mad dash, through heavy smoke, down a mountain highway in the Black Hills during a raging forest fire.

Fleeing the area before the blaze made the most direct escape route inaccessible, Janklow tried to go faster, but the computer in his sport utility vehicle kept the engine from going past 99 mph.

State court records show that Janklow got 12 speeding tickets in 11 South Dakota counties from 1990 to 1994 and paid more than $1,000 in fines. He often drove 15 mph to 20 mph faster than legal speed limits and once got caught going 90 mph in a 65-mph zone.

The court records, dating to 1989, also show he was fined in 1992 for following too closely. Records from previous years are not listed in the computer system.

Janklow got several speeding tickets during his first term as governor. He was warned in 1982 that he was in danger of losing his license after being stopped for going 80 mph in a 55-mph zone in Turner County. Janklow had received a similar warning in 1979 during his first year in office.
But a history of speeding isn't the only blemish on Janklow's record. He's been accused of many improprieties, including rape. It is important to note that Janklow vehemently denies the rape charges. Janklow unsuccessfully filed a libel suit against a book, "In the Spirit of Crazy Horse" by noted author Peter Matthiessen, that detailed some of these charges. After four years of litigation, Janklow lost the case, and the book was finally released.
