๐๐ต Bam Margera’s Wild Sunday: From Taco ๐ฎ Hunt to 5150 Mental Health Roller Coaster ๐ข
TL;DR: Skater dude and ‘Jackass’ alumnus, Bam Margera, went from hunting tacos to landing on a 5150 hold this past Sunday. Cops were on his tail, finding him at L.A.’s Trejo’s Tacos, attributing his kooky talk and behavior, plus some grim threats he’s made lately, as a green light ๐ฆ to call in the shrink squad. So Bam’s been shipped off to a mental health institution, where he could be cooling his heels for up to 72 hours. All this action got rolling when Bam said he’d rock and roll with the crack pipe until he cashes in his chips if he doesn’t get to hang with his kiddo.
Okay, so picture this, our main man Bam Margera, who used to thrill us all with his sick skateboarding tricks and daring ‘Jackass’ stunts, is now in a spot that’s a total buzzkill. Found at Trejo’s Tacos, a Los Angeles eatery owned by Danny Trejo, the fuzz had tracked him down using his phone ๐ฑ. You might be thinking, “Why on earth are the cops tracing a skateboard legend’s taco runs? ๐ฎ” Well, this isn’t your usual taco-trip-turned-sour kind of tale.
Our ‘Jackass’ star here has been acting a bit… off the wall lately, dropping threats about going on a crack binge till he bites the big one if he can’t see his offspring. Now, whoa! ๐คฏ Heavy stuff, right? It’s no surprise then, that when the boys in blue made contact with Bam, they were concerned about his erratic speech and out-there behavior. This set off alarm bells ๐จ and bam! โ the mental health crew was called in for a psychiatric evaluation. And you know what they concluded? He needed to be 5150’d.
So, what does it mean to be “5150’d,” you ask? No, it’s not some gnarly new skate trick. It’s legal lingo ๐, meaning you’re deemed a danger to yourself or others and need to be placed in a mental health facility. And there, our man Bam could chill out for up to 72 hours, or longer if needed.
We are left wondering what lies ahead for Bam. Will this stay at the mental health facility help him turn a corner, or is it just another dip on this roller coaster ride of his? ๐ข Who knows? And more importantly, will he be able to reunite with his son soon? Remember, folks, family is important! But hey, what do you think about all of this?
Isn’t it time we put mental health issues in the spotlight, rather than stigmatize those dealing with them? ๐ก What steps can we, as a society, take to ensure our stars don’t fall from grace so easily? โญ
