All they had to do was possibliy threaten going public or just pressure him to pay soon instead of going straight to the press and trying to ruin his standing with the world, what is the vip player relations department thinking by allowing someone to thrash a customer like that, if they said nothing and he paid them back, he prolly wouldve come back for more, now, hes never goin there again, looks like someone else will get his money.

If I read one more of his immature outbursts, I will quit watching the pregame and halftime when he is telecasting. He should be fired for making such a threat. It has no place in our society. I hope that Stern spanks him.

Back in the day this wouldn't have even been forward to the D.A's office, their collection process was more swift and much more effective. The fact that Barkly is a celebrity makes this newsworthy. I remember as a teenager doing pool service for a client that got behind in his payment with the casino. One week he was there, the next week without any notice there was a new homeowner who was a big wig for one of the Casinos. It was an overnight move, no questions asked. I'm sure my customer was not real thrilled to lose his house, but considering the posible alternative it wasn't such a bad deal for him. Charles needs to shut his big mouth and if he can't afford to lose, he shouldn't gamble.

I think he has some deep rooted racial issues pinned up inside of him. This was just another example of David Rogers using his power to disgrace and hurt another black person, remember the best justice is during his election cycle. I sure hope term limits apply to him.

WARNING HIGH ROLLERS:You can expect to see much more of these collection tactics due to our suffering economy... Gamble Wisely!!!
