Nathan Haddad was arrested in Jefferson County NY -- I was looking for more info on that the other night. It's not much in the news w/few exceptions, mostly via blogs/conservative websites, and I didn't know how to get info on the official story on his arrest.
The case of Nathan Haddad should boil the blood of any good American. A twelve-year veteran of the Army, with four deployments, is a decorated combat veteran and now, probably, a felon. His crime: possession of five empty 30-round magazines for an AR-15. The magazines were stowed in the trunk of his car at the time of a traffic stop.-- link to more at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2985386/posts
N.Y. vet arrested for 30-round magazines (Part 1)Mr. Haddad, who was medically discharged in 2010 after 12 years of service, was arrested when he was stopped by police on Jan. 6 in LeRay, Ny. Through his brother Michael, Mr. Haddad declined to comment on the cause until after his Feb. 20 conference date to meet with the prosecutor and the judge.
Looks like Haddad won't be talking about this until at least Feb. 20.
