More Massachusetts Gun Control Success Stories
From the Boston Herald comes this tidbit concerning the recent foiled schoolhouse shooting plot in Marshfield.
Color me skeptical, but do you think for one second that Thomas Nee will be treated in the same manner any other ordinary citizen would be in the same situation, should it be proven that it WAS his firearm his kid was carrying? No friggin' way. If that happened to you or me, we would be deemed by the state to be unsuitable for issuance of a license to carry and would have our 2nd amendment rights stripped from us right there on the spot - not to mention the fines and possible incarceration.
I will wager that it WAS his father's gun, and that no disciplinary action will be taken against his father for what appears to be a flagrant violation of the state's safe storage of firearms laws. Remember, Mr. Nee here is among the elite classes of people the government believes to have an unalienable right to keep and bear arms. You know, what with them being extra-super-responsible and all. One more quote from this article:
Likely translation: I, however, am.
Also, the article refers to him as a teen, but also points out that he's 18 years-old. Anything less than adult felony charges for unlawful firearms possession will prove - ONCE AGAIN - what a joke the state's gun control laws and the lack of enforcement of the same have become. As the saying goes: Laws for thee, but not for Nee.
Meanwhile, in Marlborough
Thank heavens she was unable to defend herself. Looking for these thugs will now take significantly more manhours and public dollars than would peeling them up off the woman's living room floor and filling out the required paperwork. And that will provide more work for our public servants, thereby stimulating the local economy. Who cares about the injuries she suffered at the hands of her assailants, we're talking union JOBS here, people. Our junior senator would be so proud.
And over in North Andover:
Is it really asking too much for murderers to obey the Commonwealth's "sensible" gun laws?
And finally, in the heart of the gun control utopia of Boston:
But not so many, apparently, that they deserved longer stays in the joint to begin with.
Actually, Beverly, it's a fucking disgrace and an insult to the good people of Boston that these guys were ON the streets in the first place. Do you think that NOW we can get tough on these scumbags and dish out some real justice, instead of implementing the pathetic and oft-failed "Come on, let's give them ONE more chance to get meaningful jobs and be nice people" method?
Don't bank on it.
First of all, how many individuals "with convictions for gun possession, larceny, armed robbery and drug offenses" who find themselves in a basement shoot-out with the police are truly innocent? I may be a judging this book by its cover here, but so be it. Put Jamal's guilty ass in prison and keep it there until his trial date.
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on in the Bay State.
The teen son of the Boston police union head showed a handgun to a classmate near Marshfield High School and showed another a hit list of people "they were going to kill," prosecutors said.

"The two of them came up with the plot," said (prosecutor John) McLaughlin, who said a girl told police that Nee pulled a black, .40-caliber handgun from his waist and said the school was going to be "shot up."
Investigators are looking into where Nee got the alleged gun and whether it belongs to his father, Thomas Nee, the president of the Boston Police Patrolmen's Association, said Plymouth District Attorney Timothy Cruz.

MARLBOROUGH -- Police are searching for two masked men they say knocked down the back door of a Broad Street apartment and beat up the 25-year-old woman inside.
Thank heavens she was unable to defend herself. Looking for these thugs will now take significantly more manhours and public dollars than would peeling them up off the woman's living room floor and filling out the required paperwork. And that will provide more work for our public servants, thereby stimulating the local economy.

And over in North Andover:
NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. (AP) A man was arrested and charged with murder Tuesday following a manhunt that began when police pulled over a minivan to find three people inside who had been shot, one fatally.
Is it really asking too much for murderers to obey the Commonwealth's "sensible" gun laws?
And finally, in the heart of the gun control utopia of Boston:
Two men involved in a close-quarters shootout with police Wednesday had racked up long and violent criminal records before they led cops into a Dorchester basement and opened fire on a district captain, prosecutors said.
A 9mm bullet whizzed by Capt. Timothy Murray's head before he and an unnamed sergeant subdued Jamal Davis, 31, and Dennis Winborn, 37, to end a two-hour chase.
Prosecutors said the shootout was the latest violent offenses for the two men, whose criminal histories include so many convictions for drugs and violence that both could be charged as level 3 armed career criminals.
But not so many, apparently, that they deserved longer stays in the joint to begin with.
"These are dangerous guys," Boston police spokeswoman Beverly Ford said. "It's nice to see that they're off the streets."
Actually, Beverly, it's a fucking disgrace and an insult to the good people of Boston that these guys were ON the streets in the first place. Do you think that NOW we can get tough on these scumbags and dish out some real justice, instead of implementing the pathetic and oft-failed "Come on, let's give them ONE more chance to get meaningful jobs and be nice people" method?
Don't bank on it.
Davis was ordered held on $30,000 cash bail after pleading innocent to weapons charges yesterday in Dorchester District Court. Winborn, shot once in each leg, was undergoing surgery at Boston Medical Center.
