Scott Elkinsdodging your question. You are correct about the gambling it seems. That is never brought up, as it is too hard for a prosecutor to prove I guess. Again, the only time I know of anyone being found guilty of anything to do with cockfighting in VA was from the article you had shown - and the only persons convicted of anything were the people running the arena (for charging an admission to a cockfighting event).
Just as some of you cannot understand why anyone would participate in a cockfighting event, I cannot understand why you feel this way. Does this mean I am a bad person, I don't think so. I have never commited a crime. I have never been found guilty of anything other than a couple of traffic tickets in my life. Some of you might have taken what I said about Leon as an attack and I can understand. I was only trying to show the double standards that seem to go on here within the Net 54 "clique". Some of you attack me b/c of doing something that is legal, or at the worst a misdemeanor (and only then if one gambles - you don't have to gamble when you fight chickens, b/c the arena gives the winner(s) a cash prize - only spectators usually gamble), and defend someone else who was convicted of a felony. I simply do NOT understand the logic behind that! Again, I was NOT accusing Jeff L. of anything. However, through life, I have learned that the people who jump in and attack someone else for something they do, usually have something to hide themselves. This may or may not be the case in Jeff's situation - I don't know. I have only tried to defend myself with examples. Some of you have accused me of attacks by those examples I gave. If that is how you see it, then fine. However, I sincerely did not mean to attack anyone - I was simply showing a great example of the double standards here. I know of nowhere else a person NOT commiting and never convicted of a crime can be thought of as being morally worse than a person convicted of a felony!
