All the pissing and moaning about gun control and this guy walks

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Do I smell a “fix” or just sheer incompetence? But then, again, Georgia is a Democratic state so it is probably both.

[muir_redwoods]

That’s the influence of the “Just Us” Department.

[doorgunner69]

Just try that “hadn’t been told” defense if you are a cracker and see how far it gets you.........

[MrBambaLaMamba]

Ignorance of the law....yadda

[Baynative]

Hashim Nzinga ...see what happens when you smoke crack and play scrabble!

Holder, the DOJ and Obamalamadingdong’s America

[FlingWingFlyer]

It smells like Eric the Holder got to the “prosecutors” and made them an offer they couldn’t refuse.

I find it hard to believe that hardly anyone doesn’t know about felons and guns, but especially gun oriented, violent, gun owning felons, that are leaders of militant groups.

[John S Mosby]

Notified of his rights.... as a FELON? He already knew he was a felon, and couldn’t possess much less sell a firearm. There was NO formal need to “notify” him of his “lack” of rights. There is no mystery here. This is BS PC crap from a scared DA.

[Chode]

so much for that whole ignorance of the law is no excuse thing...

[expat1000]

This is not Miranda rights, but legal advice. Ignorance of the law is NEVER an excuse.

[FlingWingFlyer]

He’s either illiterate or didn’t listen to the judge and read the sentencing and final disposition document. I suspect he’s just an illiterate moron.

[Cubs Fan]

He’s one of holder’s “people”

why should he have to obey the same laws white people have to?

[ChildOfThe60s]

So well deserved.......

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Ignorance of the law is no defense for creepy-@$$ crackah rapists, but it is a fine defense for New BlacKKK Racists.

[SpaceBar]

Between blacks, homos, and islamists, there would hardly be any news on Freerepublic. Note that I didn’t include the bamster in the list since he counts as all three.

[Cyman]

Nzinga hadn’t been told he shouldn’t own a firearm, DeKalb Assistant District Attorney Helen Peters told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Whatever happened to “Ignorance of the law is no excuse”

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

In all fairness, if someone who owns guns is convicted of a felony, before they are incarcerated, or if they are not incarcerated, they should have a grace period to sell or gift their guns to someone else.

This implies that they must at some point receive court instructions that they are prohibited from gun ownership and that they must dispose of any guns and ammunition by a date certain.

Importantly, the ruling applies to their *family* and *roommates* as well in most cases, in that nobody else in their domicile can legally have a gun there either, without the felon being subject to arrest for it.

[Secret Agent Man]

bullcrap he wasn’t told. all felons are told that.
