I thought he looked like a hoodlum in the first picture, and it turns out he is one.
His actions agree with your assessment, but I'm not sure how anyone can make that assessment based on looks.

I've had people incorrectly make assumptions about me due to looks.
 
This may be for a different thread but I was thinking about visible tattoos. One of my best friends in law school (many years ago now) had incredible sleeves, but he cut them off about 1 inch above his shirt sleeve line, for obvious reasons. Now, every one of the staff members I work with on a regular basis, and several of our outstanding associates, have tattoos that are visible every day. It's kind of amazing how much the business expectations have changed in a short amount of time. I don't have any myself but I love looking at them. They're the absolute #1 best conversation starter.
 
Rent houses and have "unauthorized" house parties thrown by a group of folks just hustling?

I'd assume in larger cities where there are established clubs and such to go to, that folks would go there instead. But I'm well outside that part of my life so I could easily be mistaken.
Having unauthorized house parties at Aorbnbs. If you’re under 21, you may not be able to get into the clubs and/or order alcoholic beverages. But even if you’re over 21, or have a good fake ID, most clubs don’t have things like swimming pools (like this house had), or bedrooms you can go off to and hook up in, or other amenities that houses might have and clubs don’t. And drinks at these house parties are probably going to be much cheaper or even free. Also probably a lot easier to bring in controlled substances and do things like openly smoke weed. Generally less rules and less no one enforcing any rules..

My next door neighbors rent out a room above their garage as an Airbnb. They used to rent out the basement level of their house as an Airbnb. There were a couple unauthorized parties (and that was a relatively small space). They had to make some changes to avoid that like requiring a minimum 2-day stay and raising the price.

I knew this happened in more exurban and rural areas, I didn't realize it was happening in more urban areas, as well.

Thanks for that info.
 

The 20 year old charged with murder is out on bond. Another suspect charged with “aiding and abetting a person under the age of 21 by allowing the possession of alcoholic beverages” is being held under no bond. In what universe does this make sense?

Out on bond after being out on bond for an attempted murder charge, different incident. Sheriff is not happy and vocal about it.
 
Was it heel79 asking about these types of dram shop laws?

Two additional suspects, Patrick Tolbert, 22, from Hickory, and Raekwon Craig, 21, of Taylorsville, were arrested and charged with three counts of aiding and abetting a person under the age of 21 by allowing the possession of alcoholic beverages.

I'm not sure if that's exactly a dram shop law, but it's a weirdly defined crime.

I know I commented on that a little but I'm not an expert. I definitely would like to know how the alleged murderer was able to post a $200k bond, and also why it wasn't higher than that. And I know about 20 parents who have hosted parties in the last couple of years where they have known kids under 21 are drinking, so I have no idea why these guys were charged and those people I know were not, except that they're all rich Charlotteans.

Not sure how the alleged murderer got that bond. Judge may have just made a big mistake. Prosecutors are trying to violate him back to jail on the other charge so he might go back.

But speaking to the two guys that allegedly provided alcohol to minors, the one who got no bond appears to be a frequent flyer so maybe that is why. The other guy got a $10,000 bond.

The bond was likely secured as opposed to cash only, meaning that he needed a surety (bondsman) and only had to pay them 10%, or his family may have used property to secure the bond. As to the bond, it was probably modified by consent to avoid a probable cause hearing in district court, which can be a real pain. It's common practice (or at least it used to be) for those to be waived be defendants in exchange for consideration on the bond.

But if the guy is already out on bond for a crime of gun violence, maybe don't give him another bite at the apple?
 
I imagine that his bond in the other matter will be revoked so it may not actually matter what his bond is on this particular offense
Assuming that happens and he is rapidly returned to jail, does the bail bondsman keep the $20,000 for the second bond even though he was only out for a day or two? That would be nice.
