An Abusive Silicon Valley CEO Is Going To Jail (cbslocal.com)
He'd sold his second online advertising company for $300 million at the age of 25. Six years later he was charged with 47 felonies. And now? "A Silicon Valley millionaire entrepreneur who avoided jail time for a domestic violence conviction in 2014 -- and had his probation revoked following another domestic violence incident -- was sentenced to a year in jail Friday after losing his appeal," writes CBS SF. An anonymous reader quotes their report:
Gurbaksh Chahal, founder of online advertising companies Gravity4 and RadiumOne, sobbed while asking San Francisco Superior Court Judge Tracy Brown for leniency... The 36-year-old was immediately remanded into custody after Brown declined to change her ruling. Chahal must serve at least six months of the one-year sentence. He has been out of custody on $250,000 bail...
Chahal was charged with felony domestic violence in 2013 after police say he punched and kicked his girlfriend 117 times inside his San Francisco penthouse. Security camera video evidence of the attack was deemed inadmissible after a judge ruled police had obtained it without a warrant. With no video and after his girlfriend declined to cooperate with police, Chahal pleaded guilty in 2014 to two misdemeanor battery charges of domestic violence and was sentenced to three years probation.... He was accused of violating his probation in 2016 by kicking another girlfriend in the same South Beach apartment. "Tonight he's sleeping in the big house," quipped a local TV reporter, adding "that's got to feel very different."

Odds are the botched warrant was intentional.
I doubt he’ll learn anything, but we can at least hope this might keep him from killing some future girlfriend.

Welcome to the U.S., where a rich person going to jail is news.
If he'd grabbed a few women by the pussy, or moved on them like a bitch...
Maybe had an affair or two while his SO was pregnant....
He could be in that other Big House: 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
deserves a physical education, preferably at my protracted tutelage. May prison educate this fool meanwhile.
WTF
He was an immigrant that greatly enriched us and created jobs. Diversity is the greatest good.

Care killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back.
One year ? Not enough. This scumbag needs to die in jail, and every single one of his offsprings needs to be sterilized, now.
Psychopaths are the plague of humanity. They are the cause of 99% of all the pain, suffering and bloodshed on the planet. ruthless, cold, heartless CEOs, drug lords, war lords, religious cult leaders, members of criminal biker gangs, mafia, dictators, etc. All psychopaths.
The psychopathic genetic filth must be expunged from the human genome for our species to have any chance of ever finally and completely emerging from its barbaric and savage animalistic roots.
Clearly it isn't India.
He was accused of violating his probation in 2016 by kicking another girlfriend in the same South Beach apartment.
So he should have kicked her in a different South Beach apartment to stay in the probation terms?
Yeah right because in the US the law is applied evenly to everybody. What have you been smoking ?
We all know that you wouldn't do shit, Internet tough guy.

You were doing pretty good, right up to this part:
There's a problem -- and it seems few liberals have the sense or the strength of character to admit this, with their idiotic "kumbaya" attitude.
Where you seem to have gone batshit crazy. Does Faux and Friends feed you this crap? Did your mother teach it to you? I wonder. I bet you don't talk like this in front of her.
Or like this:
What kind of sick fuck wishes for people to get hurt or killed to prove his or her point? Get some help man, you're really fucked up.
This guy would be beating women in a trailer park if he wasn't rich. The money just allowed him to delay the inevitable.

And now that first girlfriend can be almost *entirely* blamed for the battery on the second. People who do bad things should be punished, this is something people are supposed to learn very early on. Anything less is breeding sociopaths.
Where are you getting that information? I just checked California's DUI statistic for 2010.
Hispanics are slightly over-represented among males, with 48% versus the expected 42%. That over-representation is less than the over-representation of Blacks among both genders, Whites among women, etc. but even those are not all that impressive. The only over-representation that is really noticeable is that of mixed race males, and that of Native Americans and Alaskans.
If you go by national statistics, the picture is not very different (using data from 2016) Natives Americans, Native Alaskans and mixed-race people are over-represented, but a very small part of the total. Most races are slightly over-represented, but no more that can be accounted by the significant under-representation of Asians.
And finally, by self-reporting, Whites are the ones who claim to drive drunk the most. I personally think that self-reporting is bullshit in general, so as far as I can tell, the data suggest only two things:
1) Asians can't drink much, know it, and don't drive under the influence.
2) All other major ethnicities DUI at the expected rates.
So basically, you are spouting ignorant bullshit.
No good deed goes unpunished...
Hey, is the women abuser currently in the oval office an immigrant ? No, he's a good'ol white republican american, born and raised in the good'ol U. S. of A.
So fuck you, trumptard little piece of shit. YOU put a fucking rapist and child molester in the white house, NOT liberals,and now because of YOU, every would-be rapist in america feels empowered to treat women and children the same way this miserable disgusting piece of trash has been treating them for decades, because "if the president does it, them it's not illegal", right ?
Racist nazi trumptard shitfucks like you need to pay for all the pain and suffering they have caused. Just pray your daughter never gets raped by one of those bastards that will point to the current president as his inspiration.
Yeah but he is not going to jail because he is a CEO, he is going because he beats women. ((And so should he)) But if he was going to jail because he was a CEO who fucked over his workers or clients then it is worth mentioning he is a CEO. But this guy is just a douchebag, the CEO part, his job description, has nothing to do with his crime so why mention it? If the POTUS beats his wife he too would just be another douchebag. If he fucks up his job then it makes sense to note his job description.
It is like when they report a African American man arrested for drunk driving. Who cares if he is African American, his ethnicity has nothing to do with the crime. Just another douchebag.
These types of headlines create boogeymen.

I was trolling and you took the bait.
Thanks for playing !
Do the Republicans pay people like you to stink things up so much?
That always bothered me about the American legal system. Depending on the nature and type of evidence it's possible that withholding it does not serve justice. If evidence is obtained illegally then a judge should decide whether it should still be admitted and require the party who violated the rules to be fined or otherwise disciplined so they'll have an incentive not to do it again. Withholding legitimate (per the judge) evidence, no matter how it was obtained, can affect justice. Thus in this case the video should be admitted and the police who obtained it without a warrant should be fined several thousand dollars.
Eats shit. Beautiful. And we're coming for the rest of you cuck losers too.
Do you need to be paid by someone to be enraged by people that want foreign non-white rapists to be deported, imprisoned or otherwise get what they deserve, but reward home-grown white rapists by electing them president of the United States ?
No, all you need is the bare minimum of basic human decency.
Blaming immigrants or targetting certain ethnic groups for all the evils of the world has been used ad-nauseam throughout history by would-be tyrants. That, and systematically attacking the free press. It looks like half the US population either know nothing about history, or learn nothing from its lessons. Either that, or they lack the aforementionned bare minimum of basic human decency.
That might keep him from fucking women but not keep him from punching and kicking them or any other form of abuse. So I vote "no" on that proposal.
Too many abusive assholes in the high income bracket get away with too much shit. Men and women alike.
It is about time more went to jail for their abuse of our tax system, our citizens, and our laws.
Having sex with them isn't actually abuse - heck some even enjoy it!
You agree with his main point that in some cases immigrants bring ugly cultural ways... but Fox. Pathetic.
You did account for population representation didn't you?
You did read the post, didn't you? He says:
He uses the words "over-represented" and "expected". Given that the percentage of Hispanics in California is given anywhere between 38% and 43%, and that undocumented immigrants skew Hispanic and male, it's pretty clear he did take representation into account.
I think you forgot to post as AC.
SJW n. One who posts facts.
That judge is getting high fived by every woman in her neighborhood. And also free lunch, free coffee and 0% APR financing for life!
Sounds like he didn't do anything wrong. If she doesn't care, why should we?
Are you seriously pretending that only immigrants do this sort of thing, and that many white guys born in the US don't do this sort of thing?
You're either trolling, or your racism has made you willfully ignorant.
Archie Bunker does not need to post anonymously.
how many times did you get raped?
I mean really. Beside the abuse, the guy obviously has a 'kicking disorder'. He should have his legs confined to a 30 degree motion, no more..
as soon as you admit to trolling you've lost.
Being rich doesn't let you get away with abuse. Only being a cop or judge gives you that privilege
