Wow! Best. Episode. Ever. (well-- maybe not, but still pretty damn good!)

It's about time these dumbass kids learn that actions have consequences. :up:

You said it.

- Jacquese wearing the 'Free Brad' sign and pouring out the liquor had me LMAO. :D
- Robin just can't seem to get along with men outside of bars. Scary that she works in a bar in real life. I don't think she deserved to be arrested for that little punch, but perhaps that was poetic justice for her racial epithet incident.
- How prescient of Jacquese to break out and head home while saying 'these people don't know how to act'.

Man, that was hilarious. It's very rare that I laugh out loud while watching something by myself, but that sign made me do it.

It's quickly becoming apparent that Jaquese is the most normal, level-headed one of the bunch. He could hardly keep from laughing at what dumbasses Randy and Frankie were being.

I loved his master-of-the-obvious analysis of Frankie's drunken behavior too.

I'm beginning to think there are only a couple of people in that house who are not mentally retarded.

Great episode. Horrible Cops.

Its like they were out to get them that night. And what is the deal with the guy Robin punched telling the cops and then lying about being scratched by her. What an absolute pussy. He deserves to get pummeled by his friends for being such a cry baby.

And then arresting Brad? He was drunk. Let him shoot his mouth a little, the guy couldnt even hear him. Just make sure they get a cab and get them out of there.

I am just glad I didnt go to college in SD after seeing this.

The cops seemed like d***heads, like they were out to proove how big and bad they are. I mean, arresting people for public drunkedness OUTSIDE A BAR while on their way to get a cab??

What were the supposed to do, pull the cab inside?

And $8,000 bond or stay in jail for 3 months till trial for that little incident? That was rediculous. I thought you were inoocent until proven guilty, and she has to stay in jail until her trial, unless someone can put up something worth 8K. Cops are shitty.

Well she can get a bail bondsman to put up the bail while she pays 10 percent. So $800 would free her. $8000 was pretty steep for that whimpy punch. But I'm assuming its standard for assault and battery. The guy
should be charged with being a wuss in public. I'm sure they'll check the tape and she'll probably be charged with a lesser offense like drunk in public.

...unless they haven't shown US the whole tape yet. They might be holding something back for dramatic effect. Which, given the utterly irrational nature of her behavior, wouldn't shock me. If not, then the guy who pressed charges must be even more of a moron than she is...and that's hard to imagine.

As for arresting the loudmouth jerk guy, he was asking for it. Almost literally. All he had to do was walk away, but he shouted obscenities in the cops' direction. His friend had the right idea..."Yes officer, right away officer," and WALK AWAY.

The both deserved to be arrested. Robin did something dumb. She probably can prove she did not do what the guy claims and he is likely to get in trouble for making false statements but that is another topic.

Drunk boy just couldn't leave it alone. The cop is telling you to go home and you start yelling at the other guy again. What a dumb sh@T. They both needed to go sleep it off.

OTOH, could Robin have been a bigger weenie about it? She'll never live that down. Sobbing like a baby. ROFLMAO.

Posted by: Redstixxx

Well, when you join the Real World cast (especially in America), I would think that you would expect people to be jealous or just plain a'holes to you just because you're on tv being treated like a celebrity and they're not. Brad and Robin should have taken it for what it was...people trying to put them down and start trouble just to get a little face time on MTV.

I think the Police kept them on a shorter leash than other bar patrons. The cameras were already attracting large crowds of drunk people... add to that the fact that both Robin and Brad had been in confrontations with people working at the bar. The police probably just see the filming as yet another situation they have to deal with.

I couldn't believe the two guys getting booted and then stumbling past Robin in the back of the squad car. What a ridiculous ordeal and coincidence.

Brad started out being the man in that bar... a few bowls of loud mouth soup later... he comes stumbling out will a huge stain on his shirt and a chip on his shoulder. (I was thinking, that is exactly how I bet I act when I wake up in my shoes and don't remember what I did the other night...).

Frankie is quite a character, did she come with instructions... 'add booze makes her own sauce.' I wonder what she was whispering in Randy's ear? Maybe she was asking about sailboat parts?

I have 2 words for these people: "bail bondsman." That would have cut her bail down to $800 instead of 8K.

The cops just did their job. I know a few cop buddies who work the local downtown scene here in Austin, and they have very little tolerance for drunk people, especially after dealing with them night after night. They may have been a little more hard on them because of the cameras, but probably because the cameras were part of the problem. They gave Brad plenty of opportunity to walk away, and he didn't. As much as you may hate how cops wield their authority, unless you really like jail, you just say "Yes sir" and walk away, that's just the way it is.

As far as Robin, I'm inclined to believe that since she and the guy were in the same bar something more they didn't show us may have happened to provoke the guy into dealing with the cops. I don't think he was lying about the scrathes, the way she punch him, she could have scatched him with her ring. Either way, I'm with you guys that he was a puss for pressing charges. He initiated the situation and basically asked for it.

All in all, though, these people are young and they make mistakes, hopefully they learn from them. I've spent more than one night in jail (I'm a slow learner) for very similar reasons, but now that I'm older, it's just not worth the trouble and the boredom of jail sucks, even for just a day.

Well I did, and I can tell you (from ummm... experience) that the way the cops acted is not out of character.

Man, that was one funny episode. Apart from the drunken police drama, Jacquese had me laughing out loud a bunch of times :up:. Frankie is just a ho. That's the second roommate she's attempted to seduce. You have a boyfriend, girl, what are you doing?

Except he got hit in the arm, not the neck, where he claimed the scratches were.

And I will never tell cops "Yes sir" around here. They are such idiots and just try to be a-holes. You might have seen our sherriff on national TV with that Amber Alert in GA a few weeks ago.

I watched it again, and it's hard to tell, as she was punching him she punched downward and it looked plausable that she could have caught his face with her ring, and like I said before, who says that some more action didn't go on inside the bar that we didn't get to see.

As far as the "Yes sir" thing, just the best way to go if you just don't want to be hassled. As a former Marine, I have a lot of cop buddies (seems to be the prevailing occupation for former military) and yes, some are a-holes and are on power trips. I'm not necessarily saying they have a right to wield power over you if you don't show them a little respect, but that's just the way it is. The fastest way out of trouble is just to agree and leave.

From what I have heard, Robin went back into the bar to confront him again and that's where the scratches originated.

Posted by: EchoBravo

I guess I'm alone in being glad to see Robin arrested. If a guy even looks at a girl in a threatening manner, he's going to jail (as he should). Hitting isn't acceptable just because you're a hot chick. She's probably very used to getting her way and wasn't into being punked by guys. So now we know. Pretty girls get busted for being a-holes, too. I'm no friend of the 5-0, but those officers didn't do anything to offend me in either case. For Robin, now she knows you can't hit someone when you're mad (like a 5-year-old would). For the other guy... I'm guessing the cameras were real a-hole magnets and they were trying to prevent the situation from getting more ugly; which it could've real quick.

I have no problem with her being arrested. She broke the law. I was just commenting on the fact that from what we were shown, it was a pretty minor offense and the guy egged her on. He was trying to provoke her. He comes off as being a puss. However, if things continued inside the bar, then that is a different story. He may or may not have deserved what he got, but regradless if he got his come upins, she broke the law.

Just curious: What's "the 5-0"?

It really did seem that these kids wandered into the wrong place with their camera crew: Robin's physical appearance leading to taunts of "The Fake World," etc. ...

5-0 = the cops (as in Hawaii 5-0)

edit: Apparently there's some dispute as to the origin of this term. One site says it's because the cops drove 5.0l mustangs, but I know I heard it before that was the cop car of choice and I always heard it was because of the tv show.

Well, that was my guess, but The Real World isn't filming in Hawaii this season.

It's "Hawaii Five-0" because Hawaii is the 50th state. Since this is taking place in California, perhaps it would be better to refer to the police as "the 3-1"?

It's common slang for cops, not something taken from MTV's Real World.

Guess you just aren't hanging around enough thugs and 'bangers. ;)

I didn't hear them use the term on The Real World (although they might have).

I only heard the term here. (Guess I am hanging around thugs and 'bangers! :) )

Are you kidding me? When the law is around (especially after you've been drinking) do exactly what they say and leave the scene. You're interpretation of how you only "said this" or "they said that" is irrelevant. Even if you were right you're going to sit in the poky overnight until it's sorted out. Getting arrested is never worth it. Something to keep in mind was that I'm sure the cast with camera in tow were causing a terrific disturbance just being there. Add alcohol and a bunch of immature kids to the mix and there's bound to be trouble. I'm no fan of cops but I've learned to just stay out of their sights.

I don't think Frankie is a ho, I just think she's in need of some serious counseling. She acts out probably because of some serious trauma in her past. Aggressive piercing, tat's, de-feminizing herself, phobias, panic attacks, alcohol abuse, medical problems--she appears to desperately be calling for help. Drunken hook ups are just another manifestation of her self abuse. That'll be $50.

I would hope not. They're adults (yes, hard to believe, but true). They're responsible for their own actions.

The old "ID card" fake ID is harmless, since no one carries an ID card rather than a driver's license. By the age of 18 it is incumbent upon them to get a friends driver's license.

from another board these 2 links.

Derek Porter - The Marine Who Called the Cops

and, from the Tampa paper:

She returned and apologized to Porter, who told her to go away. After he turned his back, Hibbard scratched him, police said.

What was the deal with that Randy dude? Gets drunk and then starts talking like Eminem. People like that drive me nuts.

um. Actually, until about 3 months ago, I carried an ID card instead of a driver's license as I had never taken the driver's test and did not have a DL, so it DOES happen.

While both jailbirds were asking for it, the cops did seem a little heavy handed about everything. Robin, the worse of the two, clearly thought that she could sweet talk her way out of it. Too bad her foul mouth doesn't seem capable of sweet talk! It was a trivial incident (especially compared to CT in Paris), but the guy did have the right to press charges.

Brad, while an idiot, was just too drunk to let well enough alone. He had several chances to leave but couldn't stop yelling. My favorite moment was when he was first yelling and the cop suddenly appeared behind him.

But why didn't the cops get on the other drunk people outside the bar who were yelling insults at Brad?

Great season so far. Maybe Robin will return with some fresh prison tattoos!

I thought his "Free Brad" sign was pretty funny - once I was able to decipher that is what all those scribbles spelled out.

I know, it's one thing to get drunk, punch and scratch someone, and get arrested for battery; or get drunk, drool on your shirt, and get arrested for being drunk and disorderly in public; but when someone gets drunk and starts talking like Eminem............ :rolleyes:

Well, maybe not as trivial as what was shown. If the girl left scratches and specifically if those scratches bled, I might press charges against her, especially since I wouldn't be able to kick her ass. Of course, I wouldn't have egged her on to begin with, even in my jar head days.

quote:

I don't believe they were outside the bar. Brad mentioned they were behind a fence. In California you can't smoke in bars so most of the bars have a large outside area that is enclosed so their patrons can smoke and still drink. Being that they were technically still in the bar, it was easier to remove Brad and, most likely the real cause of the problem, the cameras.

I'm glad I hadn't entirely bailed on Real World yet. It was a classic episode.

I agree there is more to come from this bunch.

Best. Episode. Ever.

The drunk folks back at the house were hilarious. Jaquis (sp?) was hilarious. The coincidences of the two boys walking right by Robin's squad car was hilarious! What a comedy of errors!

But I think both arrests were a bit much. That is, IF we really saw all Robin did. If we did then I think that Marine needs to serious chill out. The cops barely even tried to find out what happened - just assumed the guy was telling the full truth. Plus the fact that she was drink (after-the-fact) didn't help.

As for the boys...yes, Brad was stupid for yelling like that but I bet they were treated differently since the cops knew they were "with" Robin due to the cameras. They probably were sick of "those Real World kids". If it was anyone else, they might have been scolded more harshly but not arrested.

Just my two cents.

Well, from the cops perspective, he had physical signs of battery, and like you said she drunk and he didn't seem as drunk, so that's enough for any cop to arrest. It's up to the courts to see who was telling the truth. Had she had marks on her, they would have charged the guy with the same thing and carried him off as well.

They asked him a few times to stop and leave. While I'm sure the cameras didn't help, cops have little patience for drunk people in most bar districts of any town. I don't think they acted much different than they would have had the cameras not been there.
