Does This Look Like A Phi Beta Kappa Georgetown/Berkeley Student That Paid For Law School By Selling Meth?

Washington Post He was Phi Beta Kappa at Georgetown, a top economics student and an award-winning debater. He won a scholarship to study at the University of California, Berkeley and returned to Washington for law school, dazzling professors and helping inmates at the D.C. jail.

But Marc Gersen was leading a second, secret life that his teachers and old friends knew nothing about. He was selling methamphetamine through a sophisticated social-networking scheme, putting a future of great promise at risk.

Gersen, 31, was sentenced in federal court Thursday to four years in prison after pleading guilty to selling wholesale quantities of methamphetamine. But the punishment for his role in a drug ring that has led to the prosecution of at least three other people will last much longer for a young man who once dreamed of becoming a public defender.

Gersen has been locked up in the D.C. jail since his arrest more than a year ago outside a boutique hotel in Northwest Washington. At the time, he was a Georgetown second-year law student with a 3.48 grade-point average and an apartment in Dupont Circle. But he was also struggling with an addiction to the drug he was selling.

When this story initially broke, everyone and their fucking mother was screaming, “OH MY GOD, THIS IS JUST LIKE BREAKING BAD!!” They then berated everyone who responded that they hadn’t seen the show before. Then they talked about how “The Wire” is the only show that’s better than “Breaking Bad” and how it's such an accurate portrayal of the streets, forgetting that they’ve only ever had one Black friend their entire life and his Dad is a lawyer. But seriously since, the dawn of “Breaking Bad,” there’s got to be so many fucking Chemistry nerds saying to themselves, “If the Dad from Malcom and the Middle can do it, then why the fuck can’t we??” You know when Marc Gersen was “helping inmates at the D.C. jail” he was just getting connections to the drug world like Walter did with Jesse. But it looks like the DC Heisenberg fucked this shit up because he disobeyed Fring’s rule of never employing a user (in this case, himself). Or maybe he just never made it to season 2? HE FUCKING SHOULD HAVE!! BEST SHOW EVER!!!

Even With His Chiseled Abs and Stunning Features, Caleb Moore Dies in Freak Freestyle Snowmobile Backflip Accident

ESPN DENVER -- Caleb Moore, an innovative freestyle snowmobile rider who was hurt in a crash at the Winter X Games in Colorado, died Thursday morning. He was 25.

Moore was being treated at a hospital in Grand Junction since the Jan. 24 crash. Family spokeswoman Chelsea Lawson confirmed his death, the first in the 18-year history of the X Games, which are produced by ESPN.

"He lived his life to the fullest. He was an inspiration," Lawson said.

A former all-terrain vehicle racer, Moore switched over to snowmobiles as a teenager and quickly rose to the top of the sport. He won four Winter X Games medals, including a bronze last season when his younger brother, Colten, captured gold.

Caleb Moore was attempting a backflip in the freestyle event in Aspen when the skis on his 450-pound snowmobile caught the lip of the landing area, sending him flying over the handlebars. Moore landed face first into the snow with his snowmobile rolling over him.

Moore stayed down for quite some time, before walking off with help and going to a hospital to treat a concussion. Moore developed bleeding around his heart and was flown to a hospital in Grand Junction for surgery. The family later said that Moore, of Krum, Texas, also had a complication involving his brain.

Colten Moore was injured in a separate crash that same night. He suffered a separated pelvis in the spill.

The family said in a statement they were grateful for all the prayers and support they have received from people around the world.

 

Honestly, I feel bad for his family. I can’t imagine losing your son at such a young age, but come on, “prayers and support from people around the world?” HE WAS A FREESTYLE SNOWMOBILE RIDER!! What the fuck do you expect is going to happen when you’re doing fucking backflips and tricks and shit while a 450 lb machine meant to trek up a fucking mountain is flying in the air with you? Do you know how many people died of cancer yesterday? A fucking shitload! And people around the World are sending their thoughts and prayers to someone who, in their family spokesperson’s words, “lived his life to the fullest,” and was “an inspiration?” Fuck that, I would argue that he lived without any regard whatsoever for his own life. Again, HE WAS DOING BACKFLIPS IN A FUCKING SNOWMOBILE!! And who the fuck did he inspire? Dumb kids across the country to get killed doing flips with their parents’ snowmobiles? Yeah, it’s really shitty that this kid died, but don’t make him out to be some fucking hero.

Dan Snyder Reminds Redskins Fans That He’s The Anti-Christ, Raises 2013 Ticket Prices

 

Washington Post Apparently cashing in on the success of their first playoff appearance since 2007, the Washington Redskins announced Thursday that they are increasing the cost of tickets and parking at FedEx Field for 2013.

The price increase of general admission seats, which the team reports is “no more than 10 percent,” is the first in seven years for the Redskins. The cost of parking will increase to $40. The price of reserved spaces, and spots for buses, RVs and limos remains unchanged for the 2013 season.

Last season, an upper deck ticket cost $64. According to a team marketing report conducted by FanCostExperience.com, the average Redskins ticket in 2012 cost $79.13, which ranked 11th in the NFL and third in the NFC, behind the Giants ($111.69) and Cowboys ($110.20).

The Redskins announced that even with the increase, their tickets will “remain among the most affordable in the NFC East.” The Redskins are one of four teams in the division.

I should have known better. For the past few years, Daniel Snyder has shut the fuck up and stayed out of the spotlight so that actual adults could run the Redskins. For years Snyder and Vinny Cerrato treated free agency like a fucking 6^th grade girls sleepover. Once March 1^st rolled around they’d call up all the boys they liked and asked if they “liked them back” aka offered them ungodly amounts of money. Now, fucking Skybox Napoleon wants Redskins fans to know who they’re really cheering for when they throw on that RG3 jersey.

Snyder tries hard to say he’s a diehard Redskins fan and will do whatever it takes just to see them win a Super Bowl, but it’s all bullshit. The NFL is a business and Snyder is a great fucking business man. Don’t let that $40 parking fool you. That’s for the cheapest spots a mile away from the stadium. Want a good one? At least $100. Snyder isn’t adjusting prices for inflation, he’s penalizing us for being born as Redskins fans.  But still, tickets “remain among the most affordable in the NFC East.” Meanwhile Daniel Snyder remains among the biggest douchebag owners in all of Sports.
