I don't know if this story is true or not, but figured it would be of interest to everyone here.

Phelps admitted his "mistake." So, why are you now trying to blame the police for taking away poor little Mikey's endorsements?
Well, I for one would like to hear all of the facts surrounding this case before I jump to any conclusions or jump to any judgements.
I've noticed that you have expressed some pretty strong opinions here (and certainly that is your right)....but I have also been able to see some other members points too when you have been a little adversarial with them to say the least. There's nothing wrong with a healthy debate...but one of the rules of a healthy debate should be to at least try and see the other person's point of view as well....for example: I think I can relate to what hooked-on-swimming has been trying to say to some degree.....I don't think he is trying to excuse Micheal from what he did....but just sort of pointing out a version of the famous scripture in the new testament that says something like ...we shouldn't reach out to pull the grain of sand from someone else's eye before we first try and remove the 2 by 4 from our own eye...(paraphrased version only since I don't really know the exact words for that scripture)....I can't beleive I'm quoting a scripture anyway b/c I'm not even a Republican LOL!!
