As if it wasnt enough for your vehicle to be mentioned in a hit and run, as if there being questions about who was actually driving the vehicle at the time wasnt enough......now this: With the pending possible charges by the DA against Buffalo Bills Marshawn Lynch being one of many issues facing the running back, he has to worry bout the crack whipping, "making an example' NFL Commish. Now it seems that the rippling effects continue. Even though it appears that he may "only" be charged with a misdemeanor (leaving the scene of an injury accident) this could lead to him not only missing any games Rodger Goodell may impose on him. If he happens to slip that, he still may be facing the potentially missing 2 Bills games that are scheduled for Canada, because even though it is a misdemeanor this could effect his ability to leave the country and cross the boarder. How so? A misdemeanor conviction in the [United States] definitely can, in some cases, cause people to be barred from entering Canada. As spoken by Madona Mokbel, a spokeswoman for Citizenship & Immigration Canada, “The bottom line is, when someone has criminal convictions in the [United States], we look to see how that conviction would apply to our laws in Canada, there are guidelines, but we decide these issues on a case by case basis.” This is all before we even talk about any civil suit that may follow everything else. Talking about distractions! Talking bout throwing a rock in the water and getting a rippling effect!! It sucks to be at the mercy and have your future in the hands of others! |
