Huh. US authorities are obviously very pissed with Comrade Jeff ‘The Snowman’ Monson<\/a>. After pleading ‘guilty’ to rape<\/strike> murder<\/strike> theft<\/strike> graffiti (‘malicious mischief’), Jeff<\/a> has been forced to surrender his passport. As a result, he is no longer able to appear at a scheduled fight in Japan, and may spend 90 days behind bars — which is approximately 90 days more than the war criminals in Washington will ever have to serve. Monson will also have to pay a fine of $21,894 for his dastardly act — which, according to my calculations, is considerably less than the $42,637,920 Halliburton CEO Dave Lesar has pocketed for his role in The War On Terror.\u2122<\/p>\n

MMA fighter pleads guilty on graffiti charges

OLYMPIA, Wash. — A mixed martial arts fighter accused of spray-painting an anarchist symbol on the Washington state Capitol has pleaded guilty to malicious mischief.<\/p>\n

Jeff Monson, 38, pleaded guilty Tuesday in the Capitol case, and entered an Alford plea for graffiti at the Lacey armed services recruitment center.<\/p>\n

Under an Alford plea, a defendant does not admit guilt but concedes there would be enough evidence to convict if the case went to trial.<\/p>\n

Monson, who fights under the nickname The Snowman, was charged after a picture of him and the graffiti was published in ESPN The Magazine<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors say they will recommend that Monson serve a 90-day jail sentence. He also must pay $21,894 in restitution as part of the plea deal.<\/p>\n

Monson’s sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 1.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to one source, Monson will still be able to travel to St. Petersburg in order to fight Ibragim Magomedov<\/a> on February 28, 2010 (Judge allows MMA fighter’s trip to Russia<\/a>, Jeremy Pawloski, The Olympian<\/em>, July 29, 2009).<\/p>\n

Acclaimed director Robert Greenwald (Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price<\/em>, Outfoxed<\/em>) takes you inside the lives of soldiers, truck drivers, widows and children who have been changed forever as a result of profiteering in the reconstruction of Iraq. Iraq for Sale<\/em> uncovers the connections between private corporations making a killing in Iraq (Blackwater, Halliburton\/KBR, CACI and Titan) and the decision makers who allow them to do so.<\/p>\n
