Broward County has all kinds of nifty toys thanks to asset forfeiture laws

Thank goodness for the War on Drugs!

Whoops. Sorry, folks. Wrong ping list. ("RKBA", meant to be "Florida").

I hate it when that happens...

If this is the same Broward County sheriff, he is a big proponent of gun control. I can recall a few years ago, when the Broward County sheriff was in the lead of efforts to block the Fla. concealed carry law.

SEVEN PARAGRAPHS TO MENTION HE IS A DEMOCRAT.

I can tell you the broadcast media in Florida doesn't even mention his party affiliation.

[Hazcat]

It says democrat in the very first line! “sheriff of BROWARD COUNTY” ;)

[subterfuge]

Well the Orange Co. Sheriff in central FL can’t be far behind. He is so corrupt he knows he can’t win again, so he isn’t running next election. His name is Kevin Beary and last year he called a press conference to announce he was leaving the Repulbican party.

This is the guy that ticked off all LE when he began wearing FIVE stars on his uniform, even thought 4 stars is as high as they are supposed to go. He set up his buddies with 6 figure desk jobs and the crime around here has skyrocketed. We eclipsed our murder record for a given year a couple of months ago. I could go on and on about that guy...

[Red Badger]

Yeah, I kinda figgered that............

His name is Kevin Beary and last year he called a press conference to announce he was leaving the Repulbican party.

I suppose that we should say thank you.

Wow, it’s gonna cost the county plenty to get his name off every Sheriff’s emblem and sign in the county. And here I wondered how an elected official was so secure in his position that he could afford the audacity of placing his name in stone upon the county lockup.

Jenne was (is) a close pal of former-Congressman Larry Smith, D-Hollywood. Rep. Smith was also tried for corruption. There is a really clique down there; Mara Giulianti, Alcee Hastings, Susan Gunzburger, Larry Korda, et. al. who all need to be closely watched.

The sudden fall of Sheriff Ken Jenne will come as no surprise to GUN OWNERS who have seen his corruption and bald faced lies for years. He was caught in a lie on CNN (who provided aid to the deception in their story) by NRA chief Wayne LaPierre during the great "Assault Weapons" craze a few years ago. He was at the BSO range with a full auto M16 and it's semi auto little brother, the AR15. He deliberately had the shooter, a BSO deputy MISS when the M16 was fired at a concrete block. When the AR15 was fired at the block it was struck and fragmented, thus serving to "show" the world the AR15 to be even MORE LETHAL than the battle rifle issued to our military! I think the Deputy came forward to explain the situation and it was plain on the video that by the dirt kicking up while the M16 was firing, the block was being missed. Outed in a LIE on national tv and neither Jenne nor CNN was at all repentant. They'd been caught. But the media just covered the incident up and continued to spew lies about guns and the folks who own them. Well....sweet irony. There is such a thing as poetic justice. Ken Jenne will now get to sit in the "NO GUNS" boat he wanted us to ride. Felons have no right to gun ownership. Well for now. But the liberals working on that, too. As long as they get to vote, then everything else is fine.

[Grut]

Well, he’s already done the ‘family’ thing... any bets on how long it takes him to ‘find Jesus’?

[therut]

I could not agree more. Now the arogant fool will be a felon and HE can not own a firearm. His is a liar and purposely decived the public.
