I was speaking generically, we ALL get to enjoy our chains, freedom having become a figment of imagination.

Unless you are in illegal "immigrant", then many laws do not apply to you.

I'm thinking they wouldn't give him that option for rape or murder. Perhaps vandalism over $100? I think $100's still the cutoff for a felony. We should probably re-think that, one rock through a picture window shouldn't wreck a kid's life.

I don't think it's a mystery what the crime was... the article says:

Enright was convicted of felony burglary 24 years ago when he was 17 years old. That is the basis for the "unlawful possession of a firearm" accusation.

Unless you are in illegal "immigrant", then many laws do not apply to you.

Yes, lets make sure we rant about illegal immigration on EVERY DAMN THREAD ON THE FORUM.

A 75+ year old antique is of danger to no animal except government trash job security.

Oh but think of the PLEASURE they got out of trashing an irreplaceable piano, the sense of power to inflict pain upon privilege. Why, it's social justice!

Have you no empathy for the proletariat, comrade?

[NY.SS-Bar9]

If you're suitable to return to society then you should have your full rights restored to you.

Voting rights too?

Unlawful Hunt Big Game 2nd Degree - in his kitchen? Explain how that's a hunt and not looking out for you and yours.

"Dude my place kicks ass, last weekend I had a big game hunt in my kitchen. But don't tell anyone, I realized it was out of season. This weekend I'm going to have a motorcross expo in the den."

Does this mean that you don't have the place set up for golf next weekend? I had the foursome put together!

Now if only he had shot a manbearpig...

Something is going on with fish and game departments.

They are being taken over by enviromentalist types.

[nina0113]

I originally read the "burglary" part, hence my speculation of a stolen case of beer, but after realizing that that wasn't high enough value for a felony, it slipped my mind. Many things do...

[Sax]

Bring and extra sleeve of balls, the hazards are murder!

[Sir Gawain]

I hate JBTs.

[coloradan]

Tell that to the NRA, which supports laws presently on the books, such as that one.

[saganite]

The only unarmed bear is a dead bear.

[thinkthenpost]

Well Miss Fawn, the dragging part ought to be pretty easy to prove, tracks look very different from drag marks and dragging a 250-800 pound bear can't be simple, particularly since the BEAR WAS STILL ALIVE when the Ranger found the bear and killed him. Sounds to me like a Ranger who likes bears better than humans, hopefully more info to come.
Also, hopefully someone in the legal profession help me here, deferred prosecutions usually don't count as convictions if you meet the requirements of the plea and fulfill your probation. Please let me know if I'm wrong on that.

The Virginia Supreme Court recently decided that a felon has the right to use a firearm for self defense as long as they didn't own it and disposed of it immediately after the threat was over.

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

Since he was 17 at the time, unless he was tried as an adult, his record would have been expunged and the correct answer would be No.

You are mistaken

[beelzepug]

Checked out your profile page....you seem to worry excessively about bird fatalities. 100 million a year? Seems to me that's why we're not up to our necks in bird crap.
