lol. You think law enforcement was like, "Hey, forget about those serial killers and rapists. We got some white women to take down!"

Dude, the shit they did hurts people too. It's illegal. Of course it isn't murder, but the law is the law, and pretty rich white girls aren't exempt.

It has nothing to do with it being white women. I think law enforcement probably don't arrest enough whites compared to blacks but my opinion again, in putting as much man power and resources in to arresting non violent offenders it takes away from the man power to put in to violent offenders. If Lori Laughlin spends even one day in any sort of lock up then the problem is with the criminal justice system and not the offense or the offender (Lori in this case). I say this honestly as a person who spent one day in a lock up and should have spent much more if Lori or Felicity get locked up.

You have Sunny with multiple arrests for driving under influence and very little, if anything has happened to her, yet a non violent or potentially non-violent offender has agents with guns at her home like Felicity Huffman does? Again, my opinion, but there's definitely something wrong with that. Do these agents really expect she or any one else in her home to be coming out with guns blazing if the agents didn't have guns? Again, problem lies within the criminal justice system. Put the man power and resources where it needs to be.

They already do; the United States locks more people up, locally and federally, than any nation on Earth. It's not as if resources aren't being put into a million other things just because they pursued a white collar crime.

White collar crime costs tons of money and opportunities for people in vulnerable communities. I'd argue that arresting Felicity Huffman at gunpoint was overkill, for sure, but there's no reason to let people off the hook for garbage like this (and, frankly, the law should be changed regarding other types of "charitable giving" to universities).

They committed crimes which denied deserving kids a spot at those universities. f*** em

You know the FBI has divisions, right? Like terrorism, white collar, etc. They can walk and chew gum.

And yeah, the justice system is a mess, but still...according to the law, they did something illegal, and they should be punished. Will they get a slap on the wrist? Maybe, but they've also been exposed as frauds and cheaters, so that can be a worse punishment if nobody will work with them.

Bottom line is: They broke the law to help their already entitled kids screw over a legit student. f*** 'em.

And yeah, Varsity Blues is a weird codename. Although I wouldn't mind if Lori Loughlin's punishment was she had to don a whipped cream bikini.

I would have called it Operation: The Secret of my Success. 😁

Read up on Martha Stewart. She broke the law sure, but compared to a lot of other such scandals that were going on at that time the scale f what she did was minor. BUT because of all the other junk hitting the fan, the cops and Fed’s needed an example they could hold up and say “See, we’re DOING something!” The fact Martha was a celebrity just made her the obvious one to make the example of.

[Kevin Hamilton]

Varsity Blues name was worth it for Van Der Beek referencing it on Twitter.

[Hit Girl]

Can't wait until #FreeBecky becomes a thing.

[Kevin Hamilton]

Becky with the good cell.

[fw91]

There might be a silver lining in all of this. After being past over for promotions and job offers, Danny finally gets to host Wake Up San Francisco by himself.

[arrogantmodel]

Nicky and Alex just weren't ivy league material.

[edgestar]

Remember that episode of Full House, when Jesse was trying to embellish a preschool application, by saying the twins were bilingual, and played the bassoon? Becky talked him out of it.... years later, she's in trouble for saying her kids were on the rowing crew, when they had no interest.

Apparently her kids had no interest in school at all.

I was like, "Really? Of all the movies to reference, you chose THAT?"

I hate that I have that piece of shit film brought back in my head now.

The part I can't comprehend is that if you really want to party college-style just show up on campus/college street/college bar area/tailgate parking lot with a fistful of cash and you'll be worshiped as the Goddess of Partying.


If she spent that 500,000 on partying with college kids she would have been a freakin' legend for decades on campus

You should be thankful. Varsity Blues is absolutely terrible, and totally f***ing rules.

Playing football at West Canaan might have been the opportunity of your lifetime...but I don't want your life. lol.

That's Shakespearean right there.

On top of that her daughter even if she wen't to a shitty Community College or a Low ranked State U would still have an extensive networking abilities because of who her mom is,so not only did she take someone's spot at USC she took someone's chance to gain access to networking for future employment. All because she needed the status symbol to brag at Country Clubs her daughter attends USC.

Yep. Some parents see kids not as people but extensions of themselves. It's weird.

I would much rather the police or FBI focus their resources and our tax dollars to solving murders, rapes, drug abuse and robberies and potential crimes than this. Arresting family women for something that brought no violence or potential death to anyone is shameful and embarassing, IMO.

I'm sure there are quite the few murderers and rapists roaming very freely and with confidence because law enforcement is devoting their resources to arresting 50 year old women and if we as a society have such angry and bitterness towards these parents, we are showing the violent offenders exactly why human life means nothing to us a society.

lol. You think law enforcement was like, "Hey, forget about those serial killers and rapists. We got some white women to take down!"

Dude, the shit they did hurts people too. It's illegal. Of course it isn't murder, but the law is the law, and pretty rich white girls aren't exempt.

That's like the same thing people say every time a seemingly superfluous advancement in science, usually one that has nothing to do with any diseases, occurs and is announced, only for someone to joke "hey you know that cancer still needs to be cured, right?"

For that I say, one, there are way more types of diseases than cancer that need curing because they are also fatal or otherwise harmful, right? And two, not everyone that is a "scientist" can work on cancer, mainly because at this point, science needs the select few that know specifically what they need to know (in terms of biology of specific body components and parts) in order to work on whatever leads science has in curing specific types of cancers, or even any general cure for cancer overall. Not every 'smart person scientist' knows the absolute most in every aspect of science/biology (which in the case of cancer would be, at the very least, optimal knowledge of the human cell.)

Ahem, were they not half-Greek?

His only mistake was wanting to write down "bassoon." He should've said "the bouzouki."
