Did you happen to read the link I posted? He blew a .02.. There is a story behind this, and this is what the right would call 'fake news'

Not familiar with the area. Did this take place in a park?

It's Sandy Hook, the first beach on the Jersey Shore and directly across from Lower Manhattan. It's a former military facility and now a park.

Yeah, I just saw that.

He still broke a couple of laws, dumb as they are, by doing that.

You sound like one of the seething libs... Just screaming hyperbole at the top of your lungs cuz one of your opponents did a thing.

I just play by the rulez left playz by. The way I see it, the faster we descend into anarchy, the quicker everyone is truly equal (and free ... in the sense that killing won't be a legal problem for anyone), and the sooner we (the survivors) will pull back together under societal norms.

Let chaos reign supreme for awhile. All hail Cthulhu.

It is pretty silly. You have two stories about 'famous' peoples and DWI's.

The Boss pretty much got lit up by someone who wanted to make a name for himself.

Britt Reid was hammered and put a kid in the hospital and still isn't under arrest.

Go figure.

I definitely think the latter is much more serious and I also think the Chiefs are culpable because I'm sure people there knew this clown had a serious drinking problem.

Cool.

I wonder why Jeep hired Springsteen when they could've recruited another celeb for a lot less money.
Vanilla Ice? Milli Vanilli? The guy who did the "Dont Worry, Be Happy" song?

I'm sure it had nothing to do with their woke ad getting ratioed to death on Youtube.

Brave Jeep could have put out their "unity" add any time during the Trump administration but choose to do it now.

Very telling.

I hope Jeep goes broke and is left to the dustbin of history.

I agree 100 percent, but there's no shortage of dummies who buy those insanely overpriced things.
A Jeep spokesman actually tried to justify their prices buy saying something like "Jeep has a proud American heritage" and "Jeep really has no competition". I don't remember exactly, but it was something along those lines.

"The Boss" represents an image supported by many of a working-class, blue jeans kind of guy. I'm guessing they hired/shot the commercial before the arrest

I was not surprised that this article popped up on Zergnet, which always shows up on my email site.

I haven't checked anywhere else, so I don't know if a different story is being posted elsewhere.

I know. I was trying to be funny. I have a weird sense of humor, or lack thereof, I guess!

Anyhoo, I don't know what's funnier. The fact that corporations use "The Loss" for his working-class image, or the fact that his fans actually buy it. You nailed it when you said "image". It's a facade. People in the music biz know what a phoney he is. He has actually compared himself to Woody Guthrie, which is outrageous. I saw him interviewed once, and he referred to himself in the third person. Who does that? That's an immediate "clown" flag.

Why are you being an apologist for Bruce Springsteen, dude? Weird.

Again, details matter here people. In this case Bruce got busted being a nice celeb... Course the right want to rail on him because he made a commercial that called them out for being obtuse.. But oh well.. Double standards away. The actual details of the event have been placed in this thread two times now, and ya'll are acting like he robbed someone.

Robbed?

Sort of like all the burning, LOOTING, and murdering that went on for 100+ straight days last year?

You definitely know double standards and being obtuse.

He was probably out drinking with Pelosi. I'm glad he got busted though, and the cops didn't give him any celebrity privileges like his kind always gets.
