Robert Swift's Life Isn't Going So Well

[Nerf DPOY]

Heroin addiction, foreclosed house, grenade launcher, and now legally entangled with his dealer who's facing some pretty serious federal charges. Yikes. We're all lucky Danny didn't get his wish and nab Swift ten years ago like he wanted, because I'm pretty sure we couldn't have flipped this guy for KG.

Edit: Oh, and I didn't know which forum to put this in so I settled on Celtics History.

define 'well'.

Even if it reads like the setting to a C-list Stallone movie, I feel badly for the guy. Hard drugs are called 'hard' for a reason.

Well -- When you haven't lost your 1.35 mil home, live with a drug dealer facing several federal charges, and are not described by prosecutors as a " heavily armed heroin addict".

Regardless of how you define it, being addicted to hard drugs doesn't classify as well in any book. It has nothing to do wih how hard or easy it is or who's fault it is. Having cancer for example is not someone's fault, and not easy.  but by definition is not being well.

Read this on hoopshype last night and almost posted a new thread. Sad story.

Why would anyone who isn't a military member need an active grenade launcher in their possession.

Because Second Amendment, duh.
(but, in the interest of not derailing, that's all I've got to say about it)

I know what well means. Who's blaming anyone? I feel bad for the guy too. It's clear that drugs have completely destroyed his life to the point where he's lost everything, and now it looks like he may have to go to jail.

and don't forget to stock up on howitzers too.

If you gave me a list of all the heroin dealers in the world and asked me to rank them in terms of which one was the worst one to [explitive] with based completely on their name, I would say Trygve Bjorkstam would have to rank pretty close to the top.  The fact that he has ex-NBA players muling grenade launchers for him is just icing on the cake.

Swift is a good, if extreme, example of why it's not a good idea to hand multi-million dollar contracts to kids that aren't even old enough to drink yet.

Sounds like a good idea. I think I will.

Blowing stuff up for fun is well....fun. Who doesn't like going out to a remote sand pit and firing off a full clip into an abandoned, burned-out car, or demolishing an entire row of empty beer bottles. Sounds like a great Saturday afternoon to me.

I think I just made plans for this weekend.

You shoot at empty beer bottles with a Howitzer?

Yes, of course....

Who doesn't shoot up such small targets with anything less than a cannon.

Just saw this over at Real GM. It just keeps getting worse for this guy.
