NY Post-
Newly released video captured the moment the winner of a $167.3 million Powerball jackpot got tackled and tased by Florida police after kicking a deputy in the head.
Bodycam footage from the April 29 brawl caught James Farthing, 50, booting a Pinellas County Sheriff’s deputy in the head when police arrived at the TradeWinds Resort, in St. Pete Beach, after he allegedly punched a hotel guest in the face, WFLA reported.
The deputy was holding another person to the ground when Farthing ran up and kicked him, with resort security rushing in to pin the suspect against the wall and help the deputy. more here
Too bad he didn’t buy some common sense with his winnings.
Well, there goes that fortune. Easy come, easy go.
Florida Man strikes again.
Nice football tackle by the cop! Haven’t seen one like that in a long time.
Fucking cracker. The bastard is a classless vulgarian and that is what the worthless bastard was born and bred to be. Giving a piece of shit like that money is like casting pearls before swine. They are what they are.
^ So, basically, you’re saying he’s not worth a farthing.
Unfortunate that a NICE HARD WORKING PERSON with morals didn’t win.
• petty criminal
+ too much money
+ too much booze
+ floozy companion
+ poor impulse control
+ bad tattoos
– brains

You mean like Kcir?
You gotta play if you wanna win! Move your business down to the South. It’s the HVAC capitol of the Capitalist world.
With that kind of money, you pay other people to be insanely violently stupid for you.
General Malaise, a farthing is a British coin that’s worth one quarter of a penny. So you’re saying that this guy is basically worthless even if he did win the lotto. This guy is evidently low life trash who’ll probably go thru that fortune like shit thru a goose.
Well, he gets to spend his money on lawyers.
His lawyer is yacht shopping right now.
…Ive posted this before, but it still applies. I dont know too many lottery winners, so I have to go with what I know…
I knew of a guy who won a lottery in the ’80s, when a million actually meant something.
The reason I knew of him was because he immediately bought more car than he could handle, lost his leg in the ensuing accident, and spent at least the next several years spending his money in medical and legal bills from the epic fights he indulged in with his backdoor neighbor that often rose to the level of police and EMS intervention, and on at least one occasion resulted in his artifical leg being seized as evidence because he tried to club his neighbor with it in an epic fight they even tried to continue at the hospital because the Squad captain rashly routed BOTH ambulances there.
Money doesnt change people, it just lets them amplify who they already are.
Leaving the rest of us to really wish we could turn the volume back down, please…
If you don’t play, you can’t lose.
And his girlfriend is a Fightmaster.
A study done some time ago showed that within 5 years lottery winners of 4 million or more were on average, either exactly where they started financially, or dead.
If I won that kind of money the first thing I would do is make tracks to incorporate myself
But first I’d have to buy a ticket…
The real question is how did this dumb jackass live to see 50 ???!
all that $$$$ and he goes to Fla. all I ned to know about the white trash
