But is Atlanta really the place for a kid to go to turn his life around? I mean, if he can find trouble in Georgetown, Kentucky, what is he going to do in his spare time in Atlanta? On the trouble rankings, Atlanta, GA > Georgetown, KY by an immeasurable distance. I hope it's not so, and it would be a good story if Mackey got his act together. But I wouldn't be surprised if the next time you mention Bud Mackey, it will be because of another felony.

Ray, I think the fact that he moved to Atlanta and is apparently going to suit up as early as this week is telling of how this situation will end up. “i can’t see him getting off without at least serving some time in prison…he had possession of an illegal substance INSIDE a school (sentencing is much more harsh within so many hundred yards of a school, much less within the school).”

Ray,

I think the fact that he moved to Atlanta and is apparently going to suit up as early as this week is telling of how this situation will end up.
