Tank Johnson And The Black Cloud That Follows Him


First off, if he played for a team representing a civilized city with at least a FEW men around, he wouldn't have been in trouble for:

"Johnson and Posey were arrested this week following a raid at Johnson's home. Posey was arrested Thursday on a count of felony cannabis possession. He was released after posting $10,000 bond and had been scheduled to return to court Dec. 21.

Johnson was not home during the search, but later surrendered and was arrested on misdemeanor weapons charges because six unregistered firearms were found at his residence, police said. He was released after posting 10 percent of his $1,000 bond.

Two weapons seized from Johnson's home were assault-style rifles and three were powerful handguns, Gurnee Police Chief Robert Jones said."

M'gosh but that makes me shiver ALL over. Assault-style rifles and powerful handguns, no less! In Illinois! CHICAGO, Illinois! Where emasculated "males" are led around by the nose, awaiting the dead of winter and football season as they try really really hard to remember when, if ever, they were men. But, alas, even the gargantuan troglodytes they rally-round are but shadows of fully-spine'd, hind-leg walkers, and they too must leave their Constitutional rights in the same gunnysack as is kept their testicles. But wait...this was not the first time that Tank was, breathing heavy now, SEEN in the company of, spit, spit, a GUN...

"In November 2005, Johnson was sentenced to 18 months' probation and 40 hours of community service. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge stemming from an arrest in which a nightclub valet reported seeing Johnson with a handgun in his sport utility vehicle."

And there you have it. Well, not in Chicago where you can't have it. Am checking to determine if there's any truth to the rumor of Chicago changing the name from Bears to Ballerinas, and I'll get back to ya.

In the meanwhile, Tank's bodyguard Posey was shot dead in a nightclub. What the hell; if someone had a legitimate beef with Posey he knew damned well he wouldn't be able to protect himself. Not in Chicago. Home of the Ballerinas.
