Senior citizen sentenced to 4-years after shooting mugger faces the grim truth: ‘I might not come out’

On January 14, Charles Foehner will begin serving a four-year prison sentence.

Yes, New Yorkers, we can finally rest easy. We got him. And by him, I mean a 67-year-old man who poses no danger to society.

Foehner is a retired doorman with the gift of gab, a devoted wife, and a habit of saying “groovy.” He spends his time watching naval history videos on YouTube.

While there are many violent criminals with rap sheets the length of a CVS receipt walking our streets, Queens DA Melinda Katz decided to throw the book at this senior citizen, after he pleaded guilty to owning unlicensed guns.

“The only way I can get out of bed in the morning is to not think about [going to prison],” Foehner told me as we sat in the living room of his Pennsylvania townhouse, where he moved a year ago.

“I’ve got to really give him a buzz, but I’m so shut down that it’s hard to get anything done. You think, ‘okay, I am going to call’ and the day goes by and I haven’t done it.”

Instead, he’s spending time with his devoted wife Jenny Foehner-Speed and his 8-year-old dog, Biscuit, who was recently diagnosed with cancer. He’s making plans to see loved ones and friends. One of whom is suffering from various maladies.

“I don’t know if he’s going to be here in three, four years when I get out. I have friends in Queens who might move. Or they might be dead. I mean, I might not come out,” he said.

WTFG SCOTUS for passing up the logical case, after so many of your previous rulings pointed to this.

Very courageous.

I’m unsure who commits the greater sin:

DA Melinda Katz using her power to abuse a man who should be given a medal...

Or

Me and everyone else who will do nothing about it.

Non-compliance to libtard rule, failing to be dependent, and refusing to be victimized is his crime.

Somebody with the means needs to relocate him where the bastards can’t touch him. I wish I could.

Before I even finished reading the title I knew right away it was NYC. His real crime is being white. And just think: Madcommie isn’t even in office yet.

Here’s a story today about a Jew in NYC that was stabbed in the chest solely for being Jewish. When they arrest the perp, need I even guess he will have 20 felonies and 100 arrests on his record?

Another way of defining anarcho-tyranny is when the state ruthlessly prosecutes malum prohibitum violations while turning a blind eye to malum in se criminal acts.
