Subway's Jared Fogle the target of a police raid...

His real crime should be peddling that crap corporate horse trough pseudo-nutrition Subway deems as food.
 
I could keep going but I think you get the point.

Actually, I don't. I just posted a link to the story without comment. I didn't weigh in with an opinion of any sort.
 
No you don't, but I appreciate the deflection. You certainly took little time in peddling it further.

What am I deflecting against? The last part of your sentence doesn't even make sense.
 
Subway suspends Jared Fogle Over Child Porn Allegations

The FBI’s raid of Fogle’s home appears to be more about seizing any related evidence connected to Taylor as opposed to an investigation of Fogle. Authorities had noted that some of Taylor’s thumb drives containing child pornography had links to the Foundation.
Nevertheless, Subway suspended Jared Fogle.
Everyone who believes this is a witch hunt and his life is over simply because of guilt by association wins the pot!
 
So how does Jared get his good name back?
 
Feds, police search home of Subway pitchman Jared Fogle | Fox News

DEVELOPING: State and federal authorities descended Tuesday on the Indiana home of Subway spokesman Jared Fogle, just over two months after the former director of his charitable foundation was arrested on child pornography charges.

Fogle, 37, who became the sandwich chain’s spokesman in 2000 after losing weight as a freshman at Indiana University by eating an all-Subway diet, lives in the Indianapolis suburb of Zionsville. Authorities did not say if Tuesday’s search warrants were connected to the arrest of his former associate.

Maybe he wasn't involved. It was because it was a former director of his organization. I hope he wasn't involved. That is so sick. Even if he's not involved, I'm afraid this will ruin his career. Subway has severed their relationship with him.

Done.

I hope he saved and invested well. (Presuming he's innocent AND not railroaded)

Im not saying its great food, but it could be much worse, at least the veggies are better.

The trick, is to get the bread toasted first. I like tuna with american cheese, tomato, spinach, red onion, banana peppers, and mustard.
 
Without comment? So your comment wasn't a comment. Interesting.

Which comment? The one where I didn't comment, or the comment of not commenting?
 
I have to say I am surprised by the levity of this thread. Investigations of child abuse are really not funny.

It'd be funny if he was an anti-gay senator caught cruising in a public toilet. It'd be funny if he had pulled something like a Weiner, which is both ironic and a bit sad.

But possibly suspected of being involved with child abuse? No, not funny. :neutral:

Agreed, nothing here to joke about. I hope the guy is innocent; he has two young children of his own. As others have said, just whispered speculation is enough to ruin lives, though.


Edit: just read this...Subway suspends Jared Fogle Over Child Porn Allegations ... he hasn't been charged with any crime, is cooperating in the investigation which is against an employee of his foundation, not him; but still, Subway cut him loose and dumped him like a sack of low-fat turkey slices. :(

That is a tough one. The police need to come out soon and say whether or not they are arresting him for child porn or not. I realize this investigation may take a lot of hours but you have one man's life hanging on a thin rope.
 
That's corporate America for you.

No, that's America for you - in America, if corporations don't get out in front of the politically correct mob, the mob tries to destroy them. Subway simply did what your country has trained them to do whenever there is a hint of a problem. The attack on cultural icons in the Confederate Flag stampede is a perfect example. If Subway didn't move, they'd be tarred as supporting child porn.

Subway certainly responded quickly on this. Maybe a too little quickly unless they know something we don't.

I disagree that they be tarred as supporting child porn by not acting this rapidly. Even if he is found guilty of possessing child porn I really don't think this puts Subway in a bad light.

If he is found guilty he will be another prominent successful male who blew it all away because he couldn't control his sexual urges. Unbelievable but almost a weekly revelation it seems.

I appreciate that, but in my view it's undeniable that in today's America the private lives and actions of employees or spokespeople are directly linked to their employers and if their employers don't banish them immediately they are tarred as supporters or condoning the actions/words of the employee. You see it time and time again. Donald Trump is the latest example.

Many American corporations now have HR professionals who scan the social media accounts of their employees and will immediately fire anyone seen to be using speech that may badly reflect on the corporation. The need to vilify any speech that is not acceptable to the collective is out of control. In my view, it is no different from McCarthyism and the stain of that on America mid-20th century.
 
I expected a corporate statement along the lines of how Subway corporate is standing by its spokesman. Corporate instantly scrubbed the website and kicked Fogle to the curb. Even if Subway is privy to info of which we are unaware, whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?

I would replace the spinach with cucumbers and the banana peppers and mustard with sriracha mayonnaise. Otherwise, good call! :)

It has been gone since we watched OJ speeding down the street in his Bronco. The court of public opinion is strong.

This is why I keep saying that we need to be a people of law, not just a nation of laws. The fact that everyone wants to jump to conclusions based on no evidence ends up burning more innocent people than it does accelerate justice on the wicked.
