The other 90% is so spun out of proportion just to get folks talking about it. I guess it worked here !


OMG. Idiot alert.

Diane... I have frequently read your posts and thought you were level headed and respected your posts here. Apparently all you can do is be childish and resort to name calling, so be it. If you wish to call me names do it in a private message and I will be glad to respond. This isn't the place for it.

The reason for the highlights you question are due to similar problems in these areas while in Belize, both on the Island and at his mainland home. No mention was made of alcohol and to the best of my knowledge and memory Mr. McAfee doesn't drink alcohol, however it is illegal to drive in most jurisdictions under the influence of drugs--even those prescribed to you by a physician. It is illegal to drive under the influence of ANY medication if it interferes with the safe operation of your motor vehicle. Now it is up to the Tennessee authorities to sort it out depending on the circumstances. Another thing is that in most States if you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs and you are carrying a licensed gun you are in violation of the laws.

Now I suppose if he feels the Tennessee authorities are out for him he can escape to another State or Country. It shouldn't be too difficult for him because he has experience. Good luck.
