Worse Ways To Go

Good Stuff, Old Fartism

I have to admit that I’m not only sympathetic, I’m a little envious of the way this guy decided to go out.

Porn was being filmed onboard a retired doctor’s party yacht before cops swooped and arrested him on suspicion of drug and gun charges, according to new police documents. 

Authorities raided his 82-foot-long yacht called the JessConn, named after his two children, on September 5 in Nantucket after a woman on board called a friend for help. The woman told the man, ‘they were doing drugs all weekend long and people on the boat had been making pornographic films’. She added that she wanted to leave the boat before passing out, causing her male friend to contact authorities – telling them that she had overdosed.

The man told the Nantucket Police Department that the boat had ketamine, Adderall, ecstasy and cocaine on board.

Law enforcement sources told the Current that several prostitutes were found on the boat. No charges have been brought on these claims.

Scott Burke, 69, was charged with one count of trafficking a Class B drug, one count of possession to distribute a Class A drug, one count of possession of ammunition without a license and four counts of possession of a large-capacity feeding device.

He pleaded not guilty to the charges and was ‘extremely uncooperative’ when police boarded the yacht and was placed in handcuffs and detained because of his behavior, according to an affidavit.  The married father-of-two claimed that the woman who overdosed had been working for him for a few weeks, and her female friend was staying on the boat.

But here’s the kicker:

Burke was released on a $200,000 bail last week after his lawyer told Plymouth Court that he has terminal stage four cancer — and just months to live.

So if you know you’re going to die soon, and if you have the money, why not go batshit crazy and spend it on one last over-the-top sex orgy?

The charges, by the way, are bullshit.  He’s a doctor, so presumably he has the Rx prescription for all those drugs, and the “unlicensed ammo” charge is idiotic — but it’s Massachusetts, so anything’s possible.

And by the way:  I want to know what a “large-capacity feeding device” is, and why possession thereof is illegal.

Now that he’s out on bail, Burke might just off himself with an OD of drugs they didn’t find, rather than letting the cancer take him.  Under the same circumstances, who wouldn’t do the same?

  1. From the article:

    “Retired doctor Scott Burke’s Nantucket party yacht was used to ‘make PORN’ “

    “Scott Burke, 69”

    “His 82-foot-long yacht”

    “they were doing drugs all weekend long and people on the boat had been making pornographic films’ “

    “It recently ran aground in Florida in May, but appears to have escaped without significant damage in the incident.”

    The real crime? The fact that the police in Massachusetts are letting illegal immigrants flood the state and even are providing the illegals with housing, medical care and food while they investigate a doctor for guns, girls and pills.

    WTF

    “Coast Guard Station Brant Point’s executive petty officer Jeff Wecal confirmed that his crew is assisting the Nantucket Police Department in its investigation”

  2. Also

    “ The boat was designed by Jeff Leishman, and boasts four decks of over 24 meters each. ”

    Four decks? Sounds impressive!

    1. Pretty standard for an 84 ft boat. Lower deck for cabins, engine room, crew quaters . Main deck for living areas, galley , Bridge / boat deck for Bridge, upper lounge or owners cabin, Sun Deck for Fly Bridge, Lounge area.

  3. Reminds me of some 70s rocker, I forget who. He was found dead in his hotel room bed, with a passed out hooker on one side, and a bottle of jack & a sugar bowl of cocaine on the other. If you’re gonna go down in flames, light the afterburners and let ‘er rip.

  4. Massachusetts is a liberal shit hole.

    The state has corrupt leadership.

    ILLEGAL immigrants are treated like royalty. They are provided with housing, food, medical care and transportation at the expense of working taxpayers. The crotch fruits of ILLEGAL immigrants are now being signed up for school too.

    “National Guard members were sent Wednesday to 40 hotels and motels that don’t have service providers. Healey said they’ll coordinate access to meals, medical care and transportation.”

    Many police departments in Massachusetts are corrupt from the top down

    “The state police department continues to face scrutiny five years after an overtime scandal in which dozens of troopers in the now-disbanded Troop E were pocketing taxpayer money for overtime they never worked.“

    https://www.axios.com/local/boston/2023/03/13/state-troopers-day-jobs-ot#

    Icing on the cake? The crooked politicians here are trying to pass more anti rights anti gun bills to violate the rights of citizens.

    https://www.wwlp.com/news/state-politics/more-talk-still-no-action-on-gun-bills/

    Oh did I mention – the Governor recently received a 20 percent raise

    “ Top Mass. lawmakers slated to get 20 percent pay bump”

    https://www.boston.com/news/politics/2022/12/30/top-mass-lawmakers-slated-to-get-20-percent-pay-bump/?amp=1

    But the REAL CRIME is a doctor who dedicated his life to helping others, who is now dying of cancer, going on his yacht and getting high and fucking some women on video. Oh and he had guns omg guns not evil scary guns.

    WTF

    1. So when the Gov calls on the National Guard to help clean up after the Hurrican this weekend I can only hope the answer is. = ” Sorry, Gov we are too busy Babysitting all your Migrants”.

  9. I remember reading an piece a few years back about a military guy who decided to kill himself, so he went down to Mexico to go on a cocaine and hookers bender as a last hurray…and in the process decided he didn’t want to go.

    1. In Massachusetts , ass of two shits , any Magazine over 10 rounds is considered a “large capacity feeding device”

      You can only own magazines over 10 rounds that were made before 1994.

      “Pre ban”

      Even at that. More than a few lawful gun owners were arrested, had their whole collection seized by the gestapo and then were put on trial for bullshit changes

      Even if you beat the rap, in Massachusetts, you are out attorneys fees and also your collection.

      The state always wins. Just like with casinos the house always wins.

      Local radio personality Howie Carr always says “I don’t want any special treatment. I just want to be treated no better and no worse than an illegal immigrant in Massachusetts”.

    2. and here I thought a “large-capacity feeding device” was a kitchen
      I think I’d best go back to school with the dindoos

  11. If they didn’t impound the boat, the good doctor should just sail away into the sunset.
    Except he’s on the East coast so he would just run aground.
    How about the Bahamas?

  12. large square pieces of metal with a spring and a plate in it gives the overlords of MA and other states a bad case of the vapors.

    JQ

    1. Just the word gun is offensive to some.

      There was an article about 7 to 8 years ago someone was at a meeting in Massachusetts about proposed legislation on guns and to prove a point about licensing the person took their LTC (license to carry) permit out and said they are background checked to get the license. The police revoked his LTC and he had to go to court over that. Apparently that was a “threat”.

      Massachusetts has some mentally ill liberals who love talking about tolerance while they violate the rights of people they don’t agree with.

    1. That’s old school.

      Now we have Maura Healey, whose major talking point was that she was “THE FIRST OPENLY GAY ATTORNEY GENERAL NOW THE FIRST OPENLY GAY GOVERNOR”

      We also have a fake Indian, Pocahontas aka ELIZA bitch Warren.

      And the ice cream man Ed Markey

      Don’t forget the small handful of alleged Republican conservatives are RINO’s.

  14. Doc could probably plea bargain all the other charges down to misdemeanors/dismissals, but would hang for “one count of possession of ammunition without a license and four counts of possession of a large-capacity feeding device.”

    In a state where the Revolutionary War kicked off over… government seizure of arms and gunpowder.

  15. Don’t forget about a previous Lt. Governor of Massachusetts Tim Murray.

    He’s a good driver. I myself don’t know how in the actual fuck someone can get going 108 miles per hour on icy roads after a major winter storm. That’s incredible driving.

    https://www.boston.com/uncategorized/noprimarytagmatch/2012/01/03/lt-gov-tim-murray-was-driving-100-mph-at-time-of-nov-crash-may-have-fallen-asleep-at-the-wheel/?amp=1

    “Murray will be ticketed $555 for the Nov. 2 car accident, but will not face more significant charges.”

    “The investigation showed Murray was driving 75 miles per hour in the seconds leading up to the crash, which occurred before dawn on a stretch of Interstate 190 in Sterling. But his foot fell harder on the car’s accelerator, increasing his speed to 108 miles per hour as he slid off the roadway and into a rock ledge, flipping twice. His speed was recorded at 92 miles per hour upon impact with the ledge.”

    “the cause of Murray’s crash had already been attributed to icy roads.”

    1. Izzat the same musket some blissninny wanted to put a trigger lock on a few years ago, or am I confusing my New England tyranicals again?

  17. “Unlicensed ammo” – probably shorthand for unlicensed person in possession of ammo. Here in the very blue state of MA, if you are in possession of even a single expended cartridge case and do not have the proper permission slip you’re looking at a felony rap. Of course, this does not apply to the inner city critters whose arrest charges are regularly pleaded down or away by the local DA’s. I’m expecting to see a pic of the rifleman on the town green in Lexington with a facepalm over his face in embarrassment. I’m currently working Operation Free State Move to be implemented soonest.

    1. Never thought I’d come across a fellow mass prisoner I mean subject I mean resident here.

      What part of the state are you in?

      Boston? Worcester? Western Mass?

      1. NW area of I-495. At least for the moment. Actively looking elsewhere for a residence, esp. with that foul bill currently in the MA House.

        1. …. and every day I drive by that bridge in town where this all started, just down the street from my house.

          1. I was going to join the Local “Minutemen” chapter, but they are much too interested in cosplay every April than actually living the history of the organization.

  18. I’m in the western part of the state. The few alleged republicans at this end of the state voted for anti rights anti gun bullshit in the past. Then they show up at sportsman’s clubs or write generic canned response emails on how they support people’s rights.

    Massachusetts sucks.

    You see the one rule in HD 4420. No carrying of a gun on any private property without permission from property owner?

    And also no public place where “administration” happens.

    What a joke. Effectively HD 4420 takes away the right to carry.
