Yes, this. However, I doubt anyone else is going to volunteer ownership of the altered gun.
Yep. It’s going to either be Bates or the owner of the vehicle. Feds will find stick it on one of them.

Ignoring weird political types (not sure wtf this has to do with BLM), pretty dumb to be riding around with guns with scratched off serials. Dude probably just lost millions due to that decision alone. Dude needs to read up on Bud Mackey asap

Kari and Ed32, two peas in a pod.

Bates should hit up his thug predecessor, Bud Mackey, for support and advice.

Most of the problems with Bates seems to start with his father, who apparently makes LaVar Ball look like Father of the Year. Penny had to know what he was getting into when he signed Emoni.

I don't know much about his father but from what little I've read he does seem pretty single-minded.

SBNATION: Emoni Bates has been failed by everyone around him

Things started to get weird ahead of his junior year: Bates left Lincoln for a start-up prep school founded by his father Elgin. His father also founded a grassroots team, Bates Fundamentals, on Nike’s EYBL circuit.

Instead of competing in a more structured environment playing with other great players and getting proper coaching, Bates was the center of everything his teams did. There was less accountability and instruction on shot selection, defense, and playing a winning brand of basketball. The only mission of those teams was to boost the star-power of Emoni Bates, and it sure feels like it was to his long-term determent.

When Plaxico Burress accidentally shot himself, he got two years and served 20 months for two felony counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree and one misdemeanor, reckless endangerment in the second degree.

Bates has been charged with two felonies: carrying a concealed weapon and altering ID marks on a firearm. Considering the gun violence problem that Washtenaw's facing, they might throw the book at him -- or he might just get off with a small fine.

THE MICHIGAN PENAL CODE (EXCERPT) Act 328 of 1931

(2) A person shall not carry a pistol concealed on or about his or her person, or, whether concealed or otherwise, in a vehicle operated or occupied by the person, except in his or her dwelling house, place of business, or on other land possessed by the person, without a license to carry the pistol as provided by law and if licensed, shall not carry the pistol in a place or manner inconsistent with any restrictions upon such license.
(3) A person who violates this section is guilty of a felony, punishable by imprisonment for not more than 5 years, or by a fine of not more than $2,500.00.

THE MICHIGAN PENAL CODE (EXCERPT) Act 328 of 1931

A person who shall wilfully alter, remove, or obliterate the name of the maker, model, manufacturer's number, or other mark of identity of a pistol or other firearm, shall be guilty of a felony, punishable by imprisonment for not more than 2 years or fine of not more than $1,000.00.

If no crimes were committed and those guns were not involved in any previous crimes, not sure how these charges won't be plead down to misdemeanors and a hand slap.
kinda agree, however, his id was a fraud...hmmm, why?...so reasonable doubt gun goes away...if car was borrowed you think that person will say, "hey, my bad..my gun officer" ???..fingerprints??...somebody's gotta pay!, right?...prolly be probation

You know what the word is for people who come out of the woodwork to defend racists?

Who said I was defending him? I’m just tired of hearing everything is racist. But please tell me how I’m spawn of Satan.

BTW. You didn’t answer the question. So either you don’t know it. Or you just have an agenda.

Because someone said the T word. And that’s automatically racist in a few peoples eyes regardless of context.

I’m not arguing about racism with you on the internet but reading back the thread, I don’t think it’s being taken out of context, especially the last sentence of being “oppressed.” Definitely a hard R kind of mentality. Will leave it at that

I saw that more directed at Bates directly. Especially considering his handler’s ideology and how he essentially quit on Memphis. Like spoke we’re “picking” on him so to speak. Bates had a chance to be the dude and it seems he’s just pissing that all way.

But reading it again I could see it both ways.

Didn’t a Giants player serve jail time for accidentally firing a gun in his pocket?
Not sure if he served jail time, but Plaxico Burress shot himself in the leg with his gun when it was tucked into his waistband.

Hey, you never know when you're going to need a gun or two on the mean streets of Ypsilanti, Michigan.
Ypsilanti is right outside of Detroit and well above both the median for the remainder of Michigan and the entire United States when it comes to violent crimes. Joke all you want, but Ypsilanti isn't Berea, KY.

Really??

85lbs Bates isn't tough enough for college basketball. How's he gonna hold up in prison?
He probably already looking into the portal to see what Prisons would be a good fit for him or where he could take some visits meet the Warden and some of the other guards gonna.

All these ppl are just conspiring against this kid. I believe they just wanted an autograph and so rather than divorcing the wives they just planted the gun in the car and ust thought they'd get it free once he signed by the X on papers in court.


I know this is somebody's take out there but I hadn't seen it yet. So now ya have.

Plenty of white thugs running around out there. They are called BLM and Antifa. Yes sir I'm such a racist that I taught my children so badly that two of them are in mixed marriages and have given me 4 beautiful grandchildren.
Weird how you don’t group the Jan. 6 rioters in with your band of white thugs.

It's bizarre to me how desperately people try to compare Jan 6 and BLM. As if somehow a couple broken windows and putting feet on desks is the same as burning communties down, ruining families buisnesses and murdering cops. Look, I'm Libertarian and don't support the actions of either. BOTH WERE ABSOLUTELY WRONG! But to somehow compare the two as the same thing in attempt to minimize one is category disingenuous. And I don't recall Jan 6 protestors stealing sneakers and flat screens in the name of their perceived injustice.

Those that broke windows and broke things, l would...those that were let in by police and just walked around peacefully, no. And it wasn't an insurrection! Nobody had a gun, except for the cop that MURDERED Ashley Babbitt. Her husband should get no less than the CDP Jesus's family got.

It’s bizarre to me how anyone in or formerly in the military thinks “burning down Seattle every night because Fox News told me so” is worse than trying to overthrow a democracy that you swore to serve and protect, but you do you.

I fail to see what I showed support for the Jan 6ers. I'm simply pointing out that trying to say they were the same as what BLM did is factually inaccurate. And is done by people trying to drag one set of demostrators down into the realm of other more violent and murderous rioters. It's so they can feel better about one group they support and not condeming their actions. Easier on the conscious to say 'well, they did it too, so it's ok' than to say, 'wow, that was absoultely terrible and I don't support it'. I'm doing one, you're doing the other.

You vote for people that want to destroy the constitution and the greatest country on GOD'S green earth and you want to call someone a bozo...AMAZING! That is rich... NO INSURRECTION CLOWN! Just TDS! Guess you think that cop had every right to DELIBERATELY MURDER Mrs Babbitt. Dismissed!
What's the difference between an insurrection and a rebellion?


An ARMED but limited rebellion is an insurrection, and if the established government does not recognize the rebels as belligerents then they are insurgents and the revolt is an insurgency.

Most people don’t carry guns with removed serial numbers. That’s like saying “Don’t be bashing the counterfeiter if you carry cash”. There’s a huge gap of difference between responsible gun ownership and scratched off serial numbers. That’s just a dishonest argument.

It remains to be seen IF the altered numbered guns were his. But IF they are that’s a serious crime.

This is one of the most ridiculous posts I've seen on here. It's knowingly commiting a felony. The ONLY reason can carry a burner gun is to use it for something illegal. Holy geez. How ignorant. Is a kid buying pills from a dealer at a party the same as getting vicodin from a doctor for your wisdom teeth??
