Hey—did obammy do the right thing—for once? If so, I’m truly shocked!
Grudgingly, first thing dumbo has done I agree with.
A case of the stopped clock being correct.
I can’t believe it’s a felony. As a kid we used to put pennies on the train tracks.
Yep! I’m probably a felon too. We wedged them in the bark of trees and used them for target practice. We had little regard for our smallest unit of currency even that far back.
Do pennies on rail road tracks count?
Yo! Gotta give O his props.
I have a penny from a machine at Casa Bonita where you put in a penny and turn the crank and it presses the coin into a smooth oblong with an impression of the establishment. Wonder if they still do this?
I suspect that if President Obama had know that the first thing the to be done was to get a gun permit, he might not have given the pardon.
HEY?
What are you guys on about? This wasn’t deforming coins, this was out & out theft, fraud.
This guy stole stuff. Intentionally paid less than the asking price. He deserves his charge.
One of those bitter clingers!
Obama is tossing feel-goods to conservatives. Pardoning an old military man so he can get a gun permit. Puh-lease. How many conservative buttons can he push without actually changing anything?
I did something similar when I was a starving student. I was too proud to ask my parents for money, and I was hungry, but I was never caught. It is not something that I am proud of. Stealing, even in a clever way for small amounts from a large institution, is still theft. Most of us are young and stupid at some point.
I quickly found honest ways to purchase food.
Hmm, isn’t it the GCA that strips [ex-]felons of the right to keep and bear firearms?
Wasn’t that passed in 1968?
How then can it be applied to those convicted in 1963 w/o being a violation of the Constitution’s prohibition against Ex Post Facto law? Or the prohibition against Bills of Attainder (as Those who have committed a felony) are a readily identifiable group? {Or the 5th Amendment’s prohibition against the deprivation of liberty w/o due process?}
Yes it was petty larceny, hardly a felony though, which is what he was charged with. Yes it was about deforming coins period.
Are you related to the poster who always responds with his text in a box, who wants to put everyone in debtors prison?
The govt can do what it wants against the little people. This SS agent had a hard on to get these guys, just like the ones who busted the moonshiners for the sawed off shotgun back in ‘32.
Sometimes purchase is unnecessary, have you ever seen people leave large portions of their food in a fast-food joint?
Perfectly good and paid-for food right there; and if someone gives you a hard time about eating it claim the right of salvage. ;)
Sad but true...
Take a look at this thread for further confirmation: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2635498/
Uh, no. When the Secret Service is involved it's not about theft but simply the destruction of U.S. currency.
Besides do you really think he should be denied his ability to own a gun because he committed petty theft?
