Mr. N.S. receives 33 months....

[hyperlite32]

This has been one of the most interesting threads I have ever read. Lots of good/bad comments.

I dont think the UGL's are going anywhere, might be a goode idea to stay safe, lay low and keep the UG talk to ZERO. Till after we win every event in the olympics. You know we have great UGL's here in canada, right?

7-8 months till Dday. I think a lot of people should be VERY careful in that amount of time. If something were to happen, it would be soon so it can hit the news before the olympics that Canada is a safe anti-steroid county. It's all political. A good number of law enforcement officers have taken or are taking steroids. In my opinion, it should almost be mandatory so they can easily overpower someone violating the law. Military too should have AAS readily available to them.

what is going on here? everyone gets all antsy cause some dude gets busted? its illegal guys... importing, exporting espcially. Manufacturing is a BIG one too. Always has been. take it easy...

im betting most of us are not taking those risks.

the guy in question obviously made big enemies in law enforcement. that will influence his harsh sentence. common sense man. let it go!

Stay safe, buy locally from a gym. It's super rare anyone gets busted that way.

Is this the guy that played a steroid dealer in The Wrestler as well his 2nd offense of this nature???

[Tiamat]

No. I don't think so.

The powers that be are saying that in this case the child porn was insignificant however given the current climate concerning the offence they had to hand him a token sentence for it. Two months is a nearly freebie and two months concurrent is just about a pass. This was all about the steroids.

They didn't have to nail him on the procedes of crime and seize his assets (he was getting a lengthy incarceration term) UNLESS they wanted to set a precedent AND they have their eyes sighted on bigger fish. Mr. Tanner didn't really own **** all and housing prices in NS are not like they are in other parts of Canada.

So asset forfeiture and significant incarceration for schedule 4 substances (or schedule f or whatever they are calling them these days). Hmmm???

I known of many WITH previous records, charged with what this community believed was far more serious offences, who received less time and no attempt at asset seizure. Some of those offences were drug related, extortion or weapons.

This guy was from a very small community, and paid off his mortgage in like a year. He also put a lot of money into investment accounts, money he didn't even try to clean up as far as I know. While his house might not have been worth much, he still has to account how he paid it off that fast working at Home Hardware.
From what the paper said it all started when Customs intercepted raw powders coming in from China for a Mr "Scott Free" .The investigation started from there. I'm pretty sure the child porn was secondary, it was found when they searched the computer he was using to conduct his business.
The Halifax Chronicle Herald has been following this from the start.
I think there was a plea bargain involved too, there was no trial for the steroid offences.
This went down a while ago, why is everyone so feaked today?

Nice post and very, very good question. Seems like other agendas at work here. Seems like certain people want to create and environment of hysteria and panic for $ertain reason$.

And oh to the people saying the "child porn" is a minor issue- No it's not. They didn't have the warrant for the child porn so prosecution for it is more complex than what they went in looking for. BUT I am glad though. It seems that 2 mths. concurrent means shit but it means much more than that. With Steroids only he's a Level 2 offender in the CPB's eyes. With porn it bumps him up to a Level 1 so that disqualifies him for fast track.


So if he was only a steroid dealer and no previous federal he would have done 1/6 of his time in jail, and then 1/6 in a half way home and the rest on a simple once a month parole.

NOW with the child porn he's a sexual offender (PC and targeted in jail), he will do at least 1/3 in jail (at least), 1/3 at a half way home specializing in sexual offenders (Like Keele here in Toronto) and have to do a VERY tight parole.

**** him anyways. He's a molester so why the sympathy? Because he won Mr. NS?

Moral of the story: If you deal steroids, DEAL only in steroids. That means screwthe illegal guns. And most of all don't keep childporn on the compter you do biz on.

Was he convicted of the child porn?
One wonders if they weren't trumped up charges because all we may know he had pictures of his baby in the bath tub.
Maybe I am just suspicious of LE, but if convicted then the doubts will go away.

First of all , If you think the cops would charge you with child porn for pics like that then you are mistaken. They take the charges very seriously and wouldn't diminish them in court for "baby pictures". If he was charged for child porn it probably was hardcore stuff and he accepted the guilty plea. If he wasn't guilty he would have fought it tooth and nail. Who te hell wants that shit on their record? And who thehell wants to go to jail on that particuliar charge? It also disqualifies him for fast track and makes him Number one priorty for teh NPB. No way he accepts teh charge if eh wasn't caught.

Every 9/10 steroid related busts I hear aboit usually involve " HUGE STEROID BUST!!!" and h yeah he was caught with oxycontin,coke, child pron, illegal handguns etc.


I always say- If you're going to deal the juice do not do anything else. If you get caught you want to face the judge as a STEROID only dealer and not some whacked out loser.
