In January, just two days after the couple had returned from their honeymoon, the charity took back its gift after learning that Scott West had been arrested on marijuana charges in 2007 and pleaded guilty in December to a felony of possession with intent to distribute. Last week, a judge placed West on five years probation.I gotta couple of ideas how we can make SURE the pompous, hypocritical, judgmental piece of shit Gonsalves feel the pain. It's why the loard invented lead pipes and baseball bats.
West acknowledges that he deserved to be punished. Despite his guilty plea, he insists he never sold marijuana. He believes the charity, Massachusetts-based Homes for Our Troops, overreacted. "It was something to help me," West said of the donated house. "It wasn't like a privilege to be taken from me."
Homes for Our Troops founder John Gonsalves did not respond to several requests for an interview. The nonprofit organization has built more than three dozen homes nationwide since it was established in 2004. It has about two dozen more homes under construction.
A spokeswoman for the charity said it was grateful for West's service and sacrifice. She described the decision to drop West from the program as the most painful Gonsalves has had to make.
"It hurts him; it haunts him," spokeswoman Vicki Thomas said.
There's a guy with two artificial limbs, lost in combat, 'defending the fucking country,' who comes home and smokes some weed, and somehow that erases his heoism, patriotism, and courage.
If Mr. West would loan me one of his old prosthetics, I think we could find a place to store it, around Branson somewhere.
