I'm making $90 an hour working from home. I never imagined that it was honest to goodness yet my closest companion is earning 16,000 US dollars a month by working on the connection, that was truly astounding for me, she prescribed for me to attempt it simply.
Everybody must try this job now by just using this website... http://www.Payathome7.com
The guy should have just stuck to selling lottery tickets. Of course, if it wasn't the state lottery, he'd get busted for ripping people off with those insane house odds and such a miserably low payout.
The state hates competition.
Entrepreneurs not welcome in this country.
What kind of criminal is charged with "keeping a disorderly home"?
When you factor in the volleyball theyre clearly an evil person.
He most likely committed a number of building and zoning code infractions when he paved his backyard, as well.

Read the tea leaves a little harder. Not just volleyball, *Men's* Volleyball.
"Keeping a disorderly home" was generally a euphemism for running a brothel.
In America, I think 'House of ill Repute' also covered opium dens and gambling, back in the day. (In addition to whorehouses)
Legally, playing a game of skill for prize money is legal, betting on someone else's games is not. So in those tournaments they'll have to account separately to make this prosecution.
Without government who would protect us from volleyball?
What a bull shit story. Paved over his back yard and put in two courts; lit the joint up and it was non stop noise with streets filled with cars and they were selling booze and taking in 50K a weekend in a residential 'hood. Reason writes the story like Daddy set up a badminton court for his two young daughters in the back yard.
He should have cut the neighbours in, evidently.
****
All he has to say is, "I let men spike on transgenders."
Nobody will complain, and they won't touch him.
This could be just the push I need for my longtime movie idea: its like "white men can't jump", but is centered on a group of trans Latinos in the lucrative underground volleyball scene.
Its going to be a hit.
