Polensek nemesis gets two years, could be out in 6 mos.


From WOIO:

The teenager berated by a Cleveland councilman is going to prison.

This, after Arsenio Winston pleaded guilty to two counts of drug trafficking.

The teen was called a “crack dealing piece of trash” who was “dumber than mud” by Councilman Mike Polensak.

A judge sentenced Winston to two-years behind bars – but said he can get out in six-months if he behaves himself.

But if he gets into trouble again, it’s back to jail to serve out the remainder of his sentence.

Anyone taking bets on whether he gets out and gets into trouble again, or can’t behave in the first place and stays in for two years?

How about after two years?  Any predictions?

He’s 18 – is he amenable to any other life, at all? Don’t you want to say yes? I wish I could. Maybe…?

    I am frequently amazed at just how much people can change, transform their lives. I don’t believe change occurs without action and more importantly, without some model from which the tools for change can be learned….but I have witnessed it firsthand.

    “is he amenable to any other life, at all?”

    Perhaps, perhaps not. However, it seems a bit counterproductive to force Mr. Winston to associate with criminals for at least the next 6 months, and then brand him with a felony record that will make it harder for him to find legitimate employment. It’s almost as if the State of Ohio is trying to steer Mr. Winston away from any other life.

    Of course, there’s a simple way to put people like Mr. Winston (and the people up the supply chain who are making the real money) out of business, and replace them with folks who are about as threatening as your local tobacconist or beer distributor.

    I believe that mr.winston will behave him-self and everyone need to stop thinking so negative about him. Keep your head up arsenio

    Well – let’s hope your support and others’ support helps him, and that he helps himself too.

    If I was that kid, the moment I got out of prison, I’d plan on breaking both of Mr. Polensek’s legs….maybe then we’ll see how tough he really is!
