[HOT] Felon Crush Friday?
Jeremy Meeks, a 30-year-old convicted felon, has gained media attention when his mugshot surfaced on Facebook by the Stockton Police Department. The Facebook page is based on the intent to inform the public they had caught the men responsible for sting robberies, they had no idea it would make women across the nation go crazy!
Once the picture was posted, many comments about Meeks' looks, rather than congratulations of the capture of the felon and others of the group, took over. You can read what some were saying below:
Orlané B. if the wire was still on Jeremy would have a job. TI had gun trouble...now look!! Every Saint was a sinner....Orange is the new black......Fix his life....I say cast him!!!! HBO where you at???
Natalie C. The dude is fine! I think he's innocent. The guns belong to the other three dudes.. Lol !
A few disgusted Facebookers had their own comments about the felon and the actions of the women swooning over him:
Mary M. Meeks has no brains. Empty headed men are UGLY and the women who swoon over him are even more ignorant
Alice N. And this is why this world is all jacked up, as if a gorgeous face displaced the fact that he has a felony gun charge. Guns that have or could've killed someone's loved one(s). Hey but let's all just get in a frenzy because he's cute or maybe he could change. He's 30 years old and has been cute the whole time he's been alive and that's not gonna change him, he's a criminal.
Personally, I could never date anyone who was convicted of a crime, but Jeremy even has me reconsidering. (Every girl does fall for a bad boy at one point and time in life.) Plus, his baby blue eyes and bad boy demeanor is quite tantalizing.
Jeremy is 1/4 of the bandit of robbers, and was arrested for felony weapon charges. He previously served nine years in prison for grand theft. His bail is set for $1 million! Crazy enough, a Facebook fan page has been made supporting Jeremy Meeks in hopes to raise awareness and set him free. A GoFundMe account was also made by his family. Meeks has one son, wife, mother, and even finer brother at home waiting for his return.
When news got back to Jeremy about the Facebook, he released a statement about his perception as a bad-guy-sex-symbol.
"I just visited my wife and she said that I blew up all over Facebook. [...] I appreciate that but I just want them to know that this is really not me. I'm not some kingpin."
Maybe he should take the advice of his "fans" and go into modeling. But it makes me wonder, could you date anyone that was a convicted felon? Do you think Mr. Blue-Eyes the sexiest criminal ever? Would you make him your Felon Crush Friday?
