Celebrity Justice
You Might Be a Redneck If You're Busted for Pot

Comedian Ron White, who performed with Jeff Foxworthy in the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, was busted today. Once again, they caught Tater Salad.

Vero Beach FL cops took the funnyman into custody for possession of marijuana, under 20 grams. He was also booked on possession of drug paraphernalia.

He was released after posting a $1,000 bond and is presumed to be wearing a wife-beater and cutoff jeans.

IT IS OUTRAGING TO KNOW THAT SOME ENVIOUS AND MISERABLE "SOON TO BE EX-wife AND EX-EMPLOYEES, CAN TAKE THE TIME OF THE POLICE, WITH THEIR SORRY ACUSATIONS, RON IS A WONDERFUL PERSON AND A FABULOUS TALENTED COMEDIAN/ACTOR, HE HAS WORKED HARD,ALL HIS LIFE AND HELP MANY , VERY SPECIALY HIS EMPLOYEES, AS HE IS INCREDIBLY GENEROUS! BUT SOME PEOPLE ARE GREEDY , ENVIOUS AND UNRELIABLE, AND WHEN "CALLED TO THE CARPET," THEY RESENT IT. THEY KNOW HE HAS A PRESCRIPTION FOR POT! BUT THIS WILL BACKFIRED ON THEM, THE MAYORITY KNOWS WHO HE IS, AND LOVES HIM! AND YES WITH SUCH A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR, THIS IS GOING TO BECOME A FAMOUS ANECDOTE. I LOVE YOU MR. RON WHITE!!!!!

122. The only way that you will have a chance of getting pot legalized is if you stop attacking the non-smokers. A continual assault on people who CHOSE not to smoke marijuana only puts the marijuana legalization debate further in the hole. A lot of non-smokers support legalization, but thats not enough for some people. Marijuana smoking is a filthy habit like tobacco smoking. If you want to smoke legally buy some cigarettes. If you want to get high legally then you can move to California and get a prescription for medical marijuana. I voted for medical marijuana in California, does that sound like I'm anti-marijuana. Some people just want to whine.

126. Hold your horses. Ron fired the pilot for misconduct on Ron's plane. It was Ron's private plane. The pilot could have quit anytime he wanted if he really was in fear of losing his license.
What kind of moron would be sympathetic to the pilot; I would have fired him for being a crybaby

127. Check out the article in today's Vero Press Journal newspaper! He fired his previous pilots because they were upset about his drug use while they were flying his plane. This guy doesn't belong with the Blue Collar Guys...he is a big shot, not a country redneck. He hasn't even apologized, he said it was a waste of resources to arrest him! The guy doesn't deserve to bein the company of Engval, Larry the Cable Guy, and Foxworthy....

130. First off, “john” from Sep 10th 2008 (#17), you have issues. ‘Probably a man crush on Tater and just pissed you were not there to share his cell with him (if ya know what I mean). And “Rich” from Sep 11th 2008 #62), you are a presumptuous, judgmental jack ass. You must be a RAGING Baptist! And to the tipster (because we all know you’re reading this thread), you are one desperate loser with an ax to grind. How sad for you. I’m guessing you got some morbid pleasure in tying up valuable officers for a misdemeanor while REAL crimes were happening in the area, and that’s pretty disgusting. You must be really proud of yourself. But hey, it wasn’t a total loss. For one, bad press = free press and free press = good press. For another, I dare say Mr. White’s “folk hero” status just jumped up a couple notches. And finally, because Mr. White is a gifted comedian with a knack for making us laugh at human folly, this incident just bought him another year’s worth of material. I believe I’ll make a point to buy tickets for his next show :-)

131. there is a press release on Ron's web site, it tells the whole story

http://tatersalad.com/press_9-16-08.html

he has always taken responsibility for breaking the law in Fla, he seems to just feel like it was a big waste of taxpayers money to haul him in and book him for a couple joints. police DO have the discretion to not charge someone with a class C misdemeanor.

132. There has been a summons issued in Georgia for Ron White. Ron White has been sending threatening text messages to one of the pilots who filed a report with the local police and FBI. He’s due in court Oct 8, 2008 concerning this matter. Let’s see if he can show up. The messages according to the report came in on Aug 20 and the 21st. What a jerk and who does he think he is?

133. Me and my husband saw him a couple of days ago after his arrest and he was hilarious. We Love Ron White!!!!
