It should come as no surprise to anyone, that Chad Johnson found himself in a court room, nor should anyone be shocked that he caused a big scene, bringing extra attention to the situation. Most of the man's life is a publicity stunt. It is inevitable that sometimes we get sucked in and captured by the spectacle. There was a time when we were just as captivated by a guy they called "Evil," when he came out of virtual obscurity every so often, to captivate millions with his next incredible leap of faith, on that Harley machine. Losing some interest? Just up the steaks. Jump a canyon in a rocket. That'll get the media frenzy stirred up again. Instead of the emergency room counting up broken bones, Chad Johnson tends to find himself in court rooms, following his publicity stunts.
Chad,
"Ocho" Johnson, will not do 30 days in jail. But I hope he does 3 to 5
days. There are truly crazy, I'm sorry, mentally challenged/unstable
people out there who have real problems, and then there are attention
seekers like this guy, who act like they have problems. Then you also
unfortunately have the attention seekers, who are truly off their rocker as well. Most
times those situations tend to end very badly. I don't
know which category Chad Whatshisname fits into, but I do know a
sane & rational person doesn't do what he did in anybody's court room.
Especially not in a courtroom in front of a female Judge, when the
charge you're facing has anything to do with "domestic violence." Whether you did
it or not, you still need to understand the charge, and what it means.
[You put your hands on somebody who didn't want them there, and in a
violent way!!]
Bottom line, you just simply never do something
stupid, at the exact moment you're about to get out of something you
already did that was stupid. Had his lawyer been a woman, the Judge
would have probably hit him with a sexual assault charge. C'MON CHAD!?!?
Use what little bit of your brain is actually functioning when you go to
court.
That said, perhaps the artist formerly known as "Ocho-Cinqo," is playing the only card he has left in his hand. As is the case
in Hollywood, "any publicity, is good publicity." People are mentioning
Chad Johnson, I mean Ocho-Cinqo, I mean Johnson again. All of his names are
flying across the air waves today. Could it be that this part-time psycho has
the ability to foresee the future?
"I'll do my few days, the judge
will catch hell for her over-reaction, and let me out with a very harsh
public reprimand. There will be a huge media circus when I get out. Everybody will get a book deal, and my name will be
out there once again, just a few weeks before NFL camps start."
Perhaps he believes this stunt will parlay itself into an invite to
somebody's camp. Even as an unsigned invitee, he'd be in somebody's
camp. At this point, Chad Johnson's best hope, would be for somebody to lose
their 1 and 2 receivers for the year, and truly have a need to stuff a jersey. Otherwise, it's back to reality TV for the guy who wore #85.
Gotta love the NFL off season in the technology era!
