not surprising

Yea, I am going to be listening today, although I doubt he can say a word about it.

On Thursday I was listening and he briefly mentioned that he may not be getting married - and that we would see "after this weekend", without giving any more detail whatsoever. Now we know why!

[Ohmsby]

always three sides to every story his hers and the truth He does not seem to be to Humble today so he must not be to worried

[98Cobra]

Supposed to be repeats again today.

[Ohmsby]

yeah i was listening just briefly prior to my post and then realized it was a redo

Pugs and Kelly gone mid days and Russ in hot water tough days ahead for Gavin. If he is on the hook for the assault with deadly weapon hopefully Tim Powers can work a little judicial magic or Russ could be wearing the orange


Do they wear orange in the South Lake Jail......

[Silver_2000]

yeah think about management there - lost mid days in the last 2 weeks and now the #1 show is in trouble

news said that he would be back today but it was repeats

interestingly the first 5 min was all about an on air interview with his Dr about the antidepression drugs he is on and what they do to him ... do you think that was random ?

[98Cobra]

No, I do not. I dont believe in coincidences like that :)

Heard he may not be back on air until a grand jury decides whether or not this should go forward.

I like Russ, but I dont condone abusing women - that said, even though she is "missing some hair" and a couple pieces of furniture are destroyed, that is HARDLY evidence that things went down as she said.

[Ohmsby]

The Pugs and Kelly camp have to be riding the karma bus. the rumor mill had Russ as a spoiler for the mid day show.

I usually listen to Russ or Bubba TLS in the afternoon guess I will be on siruis for a while

[Silver_2000]

in some internet research she is supposed to have a recording of the issue

but she was kicked out of the house without it - he also destroyed her PC which he gave her

last week he was on air saying that whether or not he ws to be married would be decided this weekend

perhaps he said not going to happen and she freaked and did all of this to herself - BUT do you really doubt that he is capable of this ?

I dont condone beating on anyone - especially women.

As was stated there are always 3 versions - his hers and the truth

[Ohmsby]

Should be interesting to see the outcome. Prior to the SO I dated a really crazy chica so nothing is impossible.

If our boy Russ was a little drunk and full of meds it could have went down in her version but who knows

its like a soap opera for boys........

I don't care if he did it or not but I want to know what evidence the police had to make the arrest other than "her word". I know crazy and a crazy beeetch can tell some pretty wild, and convincing tales.
Getting arrested just because somesome SAYS you did something is BS.
:icon_rolleyes:

The domestic violence laws say thats all they need - evidence of injury and a statement - its been that way for years - gotten worse recently

[Wht95Lightning]

Well, looks like there was good reason to arrest. :nono:

[Ohmsby]

does not read well for him and if in fact she has the recording could be a bumpy road for Russ

[98Cobra]

Does a Glock semi-automatic pistol have a hammer that can be cocked?

If it is really as bad as it seems, why is bail only $10k?

[tiffo60]

glocks are hammerless, if there chambered there cocked:d

[Ohmsby]

The report reads he chambered a round and then unloaded it and the clip.

Does anyone here carry an unloaded weapon seems like if you are going to carry it it ought to be ready to go

[my2002lightning]

This much is true. :cool:

Ronald, do you speak from experience?

Dana

[L8 APEX]

I know a few folks that carry Glocks unchambered. They feel it is fast enough to cycle the slide when needed and it is safer since there is no hard safety on the action.

[my2002lightning]

Yes, if a Glock is chambered, essentially your only Safety is your trigger-finger.

[98Cobra]

He was back on today I think. Anyone catch the show?

[Silver_2000]

I listened to a few minutes - nothing special
