July 11, 200619 yr Personally, I don't like Bonds. I think he's an ass. I don't understand this witch hunt to try and send him to prison however. What is that going to accomplish? I think the government should be using its resources keeping people who are dangers to society off the streets.

What is that going to accomplish? I think the government should be using its resources keeping people who are dangers to society off the streets. Witch hunt to send him to prison? I hate that term because it's used so god damned much in inappropriate scenarios. Barry Bonds isn't innocent of anything. He's a steroid abusing woman beater with the nastiest attitude in baseball of all the players whose bad attitudes are well known. It isn't a witchhunt to try and prove that he's guilty of perjury, obstructing justice, income tax invasion and whatever the f*** else that pervert has done. It's a serious crime to lie to a grand jury. Perjury is a crime that fundamentally assaults our justice system. "Witchhunt" my ass. I think that only one group can credibly be called out for "witchhunt[ing]" him, and that's the guys at the SF Chronicle, the newspaper that devoted so many resources and time to find out what he was using, and when. And, personally, I wish more newspapers would do that to more people, in sports and ESPECIALLY out. But I call bulls*** on the witchhunt. I don't think what they did was a witchhunt, but I guess you could call it that. Edit: Actually, I think that's BS, too. I take that back. I don't think you can credibly say that a newspaper doing its job was witchhunting. Edited July 11, 200619 yr by Gregory Pratt
July 12, 200619 yr -Put him in jail. -Fine the living s*** out of him. -Wipe out his records. -Ban him from baseball without possibility of reinstatement. That should about do for this scumbag.
July 12, 200619 yr A lifetime ban and wiping all his numbers would be enough, IMO. Edited July 12, 200619 yr by Cuck the Fubs

I think the newspaper was just conducting some high quality investigative reporting, which more media outlets need to do instead of regurgitating each others news.
