Lee & Drita D'Avanzo arrested

[bert]

even though he wasn't really on the show like that, he was the crux for his wife’s existence on there and became somewhat of a public figure (albeit a z-list one). on staten island as pathetic as it sounds, hes like a celebrity. once you’re at “that level” you really cant get away with shit anymore. people would relish in ratting on someone on tv

You are 100% right about her husband being the point of her on that show. She was an idiot for doing the show, as were most of the others. Graziano seemed completely crazy, Gravano's daughter was lowlife, and Drita D. was out for trouble and playing up her husband as a gangster. For the rest of their lives they are a target, and they did it themselves. Even if they move to another state, some DA there might want to get them. On top of that she made money off the show, and owned a small business. Now she will go broke from lawyer fees. I think any real made guys who knew him want nothing to do with him anymore, but wannabe tough guys will flock around him.

That's very interesting having gotten to this point in Cali and Jersey.

Who'd a thunk it woulda come to this?

Hey as long as it's not funding terrorism - then good for them.

I agree lol

The people have spoken a long time ago on boos , weed & gambling. Allocating huge resources to thwarting them is one of the worst policy failures in this country next to the Iraq war .

It so ironic now that the govt is trying to take the revenue & economic boom on these activities after spending hundreds of billions & ruining millions of lives trying to prevent it just a few years ago lol , but not funny .

I don’t do / like social media but one benefit seems to be empowering people to overturn some of ridiculous & often political driven laws

The war on drugs was a Nixon thing to punish / prevent hippies / minorities from voting.

I would also decriminalize / regulate prostitution but I know that’s less popular but again it’s pointless &. can’t be stopped.

This country is going to be torn apart in 15 years once all our govt pensions start going bust so we need the $. Interesting is a big reason boos was re legalized was for the taxes during the depression.

Unfortunately NJ NYC and CA are ahead of the curve. In more conservative and rural states they still hammer weed. Which looks ridiculous but they don't care. People still catch huge weed cases and the prosecutors still pile on. If you are in a liberal jurisdiction then it's no risk. If you aren't then it's 1985 style penalties.

I agree . Let’s see where they stand in 10 years when they realize their state can’t deliver on their pension promises and have to find new revenue streams. By then it will be too late but that’s on them and their residents will feel the pain over their stupidity.

I give NJ a lot of credit in allocating some gambling ( lottery ) revenue today to fund their state pensions. Outside of pension cuts , vice taxes will have to be part of the discussion if a pensioner wants a bigger check.

New York and New Jersey are basically neck to neck when it comes to ad valorem taxes nowadays.

Imagine paying upwards of 16.5k per annum for a 4-unit mixed use.

Between NY and NJ taxes, I'm not gonna have a pension left!

True lol but when you eventually own your home you will be good & likely sitting on a $500k+ checking account

Problem isn't just state though.

As long as it's federally illegal the us atty can just reach down and pluck whomever they choose to into federal prison.

In NYC that would be silly. But check the other 90 so federal districts around America and see what they are doing. It would shock you.

An Italian kid in Connecticut, hardly a bastion of right wing sentiment just got 8 fucking years in the feds for less weed than those busts. (400lbs) vs (737). And go further south or Midwest and it gets way worse.

The sessions memo set that movement back ten years.

And when us attys do that it plays hell with the black white and gray markets.

It's like Godzilla showing up in Tokyo Bay.

Jesus and what idiots . Just cost the state at least a mil on 1 person for weed ? Makes no Fing sense

I agree on federal part . If it was up to me I’d legalize it , excise tax it and fund SS & Medicare.

People are going to bug the fuck out when these pension trusts have been depleted. It’s gonna be scary

Wow, her face has cratered like 100 year old concrete.

Wow, her face has cratered like 100 year old concrete.

A lot of stress for sure.

I think she had some face tightening but also gained some weight

For 44 she is still a pretty women but all this face tightening I think backfires for some as they age / gain weight

[Jbravo]

Cant keep up with the botox and fillers anymore...both her stores have been closed down for some time now... They struggling

Smoking weed and eating edibles are two completely different Highs. My preferred method is smoking a nice fat blunt. Edibles are great for flying on airplanes and bringing into sporting events, but it’s a completely different high. From 19-24 years old I used to smoke weed from sun up to sun down. Now at 35 years old I smoke occasionally (1-2 times a month) and I get really fucked up and paranoid. Always found that weird because when I was let’s say 22 I would smoke from the moment I woke up to the moment I went to bed and would accomplish productive things like going to class, lifting weights, jogging, driving my car, hanging with friends etc now when I smoke at 35 I’m fucked up and get paranoid.
