Hey—did obammy do the right thing—for once? If so, I’m truly shocked!
Grudgingly, first thing dumbo has done I agree with.
Do pennies on rail road tracks count?
Yo! Gotta give O his props.
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.
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?}
This was not simply mutilating coins; they used them essentially to steal cash from the owners of the vending machines.
So it’s kind of like Bill Clinton giving a pardon to Marc Rich. How much did Foster’s wife donate to the future Obama Presidential Library?
