"Armed bandits abducted and robbed Party of Five star Jeremy London and forced him to smoke drugs during a harrowing five hour ordeal in Palm Springs, California, police have revealed to RadarOnline.com. London, 37, was attempting to change a flat tire on his vehicle when two men stopped to help him, outside the Bahama Hotel & Apartments on North Palm Canyon Drive, late on the evening of Thursday, June 10.


Sergeant Steve Douglas, from Palm Springs Police Department, told RadarOnline.com the kidnappers forcibly took London -- who played Griffin Holbrook on the hit FOX series Party of Five and Chandler Hampton on 7th Heaven -- and drove him around in his own vehicle, while terrorizing him at gun point."








Hmmmmmm........
 
Yeah...I didn't fall off the wagon, I was forced to do drugs against my will. I'm not judging, that just sounds like something my father would have said. :rolleyes:
 
Yeah makes a ton of sense that someone would force someone to smoke their drugs. Where does this guy live? i would love to thing i could be randomly abducted.....to smoke pot.

Gangs seem to be getting friendlier all the time. What is next drive by beer bongs? Getting given coupons at knife point in a dark alley? Maybe grafitti....done with the color of your housepaint, and focused soley on areas that are peeling? Giving store owners money to loiter there?
 
I just don't get it. How does one "Force Smoking" anything on anyone? The only thing I can think to do is inhale a huge puff, lock lips with the victim, and do a big exhale into the other's mouth.

So did Jeremy London leave out the part where he went around kissing the attackers?
 
Was he required to have a drug test as a condition of probation or something? This story seems very fishy, but unless he needed to explain a positive drug test, I can't see what motive he would have for making it up.
 
I think Lindsay Lohan just got a new excuse next time she is up before a judge.....
 
His twin brother was in the stoner cult comedy "Dazed and Confused". Maybe some really rabid fans just got a little confused.

ETA: or dazed.

It reminds me of that time a gang of armed men burst into my house and forced me to have sex with the Brazilian Au-pair girl.
It was "an ordeal that lasted minutes on my own kitchen table".

My wife remains skeptical, though.

But seriously: I have heard similar stories.
Once spoke to a guy who claimed to have been abducted in LA and had spend several days in a crack house, terrified and forced to smoke crack. he was paying for the party, obviously.
There is also a dramatization of such an event in Six Feet Under, maybe the writer used a real event as a basis for the scene.

Though I'm very skeptical, it is not impossible. I certainly wouldn't want to go to the LAPD with a story about how my five day crack-binge was forced on me at gunpoint. Really, officer.
 
Poor man! It must have been a terrible experiece. Kidnapped and forced to smoke pot!

This reminds me of the ordeal St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Charles Flint Rhem suffered when he disappeared for over 2 days, just when the Cards. were in a race for the pennant in 1930. You see, he had been kidnapped by evil gangsters and forced at gunpoint to "consume massive amounts of demon rum". The team manger and Branch Rickey were quoted as saying: " We were in no position to disprove Rhem's story" True skeptics, those two.

I got this anecdote from a fine little book, The Baseball Hall of Shame by Bruce Nash and Allan Zullo. I couldn't find it in Google, but there is another one almost as good found at http://www.thebaseballpage.com/players/rhemfl01.php . The team's directives wanted to know why he was out late one night before he was scheduled to start a game. Simple explanation. "I was out with Pete Alexander, we know how you want us all to watch out for Alex, and that's the trouble. He had one quart of liquor, and to keep him from drinking it, I drank most of it."

Well, at least one of the guys who "kidnapped" him has been arrested, so we'll soon see how much of the story is true.

Just explain to her that you'd already masturbated to the lingerie catalog several times that day, thus you were able to last much longer than usual. ;)
 
Perhaps these people are sickos that like to repeatedly target a victim?

How does the description of his assailants compare to whoever forced him to star in Party of Five?
 
There was a Argentinian door to door salesman in our neighborhood who was robbed at gunpoint and underwent a similar experience. In his case, however, the assailant forced him to sing "Mi Buenos Aires Queriido!" translated "My Beloved Buenos Aires!" Recite some famous Argentinian poetry and smoke a cigarette. I guess for some thieves money isn't everything.

Maybe the kidnappers were angry at Klien's singing in that Mama Mia audition tape.

Late news. Klien has checked into rehab. That puts him a little above Lohan..

She's doing drugs under his window?

That's just dickery.
 
I'd be a little pissed if someone forced me to smoke pot. I want a little control over what I put into my body!

If they threatened to stuff the bong up your arse, though, I suspect you might take a few hits just to be sociable. :cool: The assumption here is a hostage situation. You aren't actually in control.
