I want to know how everything turns out, but I’m already tired of all these articles on here. And the dumbass shit talkers that come with it..
I wonder how disappointed his father is.
Chill out Guida, everything is gonna be OK! If it was me I would’ve had a designated driver, but I’d also like to say that we all do dumb shit from time to time so I can see giving him a mulligan.
…you wouldn’t give him a mulligan if he rear ended you and hurt someone you love…so no mulligan.
He is young, he has done something really stupid and dangerous and if it negatively affects his career then so be it. He needs to wear this.
No one gets a “pass” for drunk driving…that shit kills people…including my best friend years ago, so no mulligan.
word
Dude your right. How does the HW champ of the world not have a limo lol? Or a taxi? He’s a millionaire right? Why drive yourself
What does JDS or Cormier have to do with any of this?
Wtf are you talking about? The article is about bones genius.
But you said “HW champ,” meaning, oh, Heavyweight. You’re not one to sarcastically call others “genius.”
Damn if only the DA would give me a plea bargian. Because if it was any of us we would have spent some jail time plus the fine, and in NY I think the penalty is atleast a year in jail.
nah 1st offense in NY is 1 year suspension of the license and a year of probation and $250 a year for 3 years for a drivers assessment fee.drunk people in NY love hitting telephone poles. 5 of my friends have done the same thing with far less fancy cars and my ex did it with me in the car going 35 mph they all got the same thing.try doing the same thing in PA , in PA you get jail time and all of that jazz.
but i also recall not to long ago JBJ preaching he would never do this typr of thing and low and behold here he is wrecking expensive cars, he’s probably smoking with cigarettes and listening to that rebellious jazz music too!
Shit I ain’t going to PA just going to stay in Montana where they won’t bust my ass with all these dirty roads.
But true that on JBJ he said we will never see him do anything like that, but go figure he hid that other incident very well the one where he was busted going into the titty club. The only thing he needs to do if pull an Eddie Murphy and pick up a tranny hooker.
When Jon Jones gets asked why he did it he will reply: “Cause it’s fun to do bad things”
But Jon don’t you care that you could have hurt someone? “No”
And here comes all the haters….
Who cares?? Everyone likes certain fighters and dislikes certain other fighters. It shouldn’t be a big surprise people hate on him, he comes off as a huge douchebag n kinda fake. His I’m such a good guy act comes off as phony as hell so when he ****s up u better believe people r gonna talk shit.
+1 to mc
haha no he doesn’t, the ‘he sounds fake’ was ****ing rashad propaganda from a guy who took the name of one of the greatest boxers of all time without warrent
See this guy likes JJ and dislikes rashad. Who cares
You don’t know shit about me!
@ allmightysandman, are you on here talking about john jones or the driver that killed your best friend? Cause last i checked john jones did not hit or hurt any1 but his pride and maybe some of his fans so dont come on here talking about what could of happened when it did not, tired of you dumb ****s coming on here talking about what could of happened!
first of all go phuck yourself for calling me a “dumb ****” for commenting on this post. To dumb it down…way down for you…I was commenting on the act of driving under the influence and whether a guy gets a mulligan for it or not.
I’m not sure why you took exception to my comment when I was simply saying that drunk driving is not something to fool around with and it kills people.
@d-rock jail time really lol NY is one of the most lax states of all when it comes to dui or dwi is a 90 day suspension. Just about any other state is an automatic 6 months
Send him to heavy weight
I wonder if this was on his life board. This type of shit happens when you fake the funk, keep it 100, if you even know how.
suspend him for a year and fine him 35 thousand dollars.
i think bones had weed in his system…i had a dwi meaning i was a little buzzed, yes i know bones was drunk, but i got caught with dwi cuz weed was in my system…dui is just alcohol…dwi is drug related in someway
You have that backwards Drew… DWI-Driving While Intoxicated DUI-Driving Under the Influence
As far as all this goes with Jones…He should have sme punishment. For anyone to say that what could have happened doesn’t matter is really stupid. I’ve had a DWI and what I regret most about is what could have happened. I could have killed myself, my friend who was with me, or someone else. The thought of the possibilities of what could have happened eat at me lke a sickness. I was only over the legal limit by one hundreth of a point, but impaired is impaired and I got what was coming to me. I thank God that nothing happened and I was just pulled over for littering and the cop tested me. I was only 17; that’s a dumb kid making a mistake… Jon Jones is far from a teenager and should not have been given any deal. If Dana White fires guys for “not being serious enough” what do you think he should do to Jones. I have no problem with Jon as a fighter and his personality is not important to me. I hope he learns his lesson, but he should not get a free pass. Title stripped and suspended for at least a year. Sorry Jon.
