Mal Soon Jin, a Korean woman who has lived in the United States for 20 years and run a fruit store with her husband, was minutes away from a moment that looms large for many immigrants in their quest for the American Dream: the naturalization ceremony that would make her a United States citizen.
But when she walked into the marble lobby of United States District Court in Brooklyn about 8 a.m. yesterday to take the oath, and placed her handbag on the X-ray machine’s conveyor belt, she hit a snag. A court security officer operating the machine spotted an unloaded five-shot .22-caliber silver derringer in a zippered compartment in her handbag, according to the authorities.
As a result, Ms. Jin did not attend the morning naturalization ceremony on the second floor with hundreds of other soon-to-be citizens. Instead, she was arraigned on federal gun charges in a smaller courtroom, just steps away on the second floor.
Talk about someone I want to have as a fellow citizen. She has been a productive and contributing member of society for 20 years, she knows from experience that she must not only take care of herself economically but also in terms of personal security, she is exercising her right and obligation to do that as a free and sovereign individual, and she wishes to be one of us.
So instead, this "free" society she wishes to be one with will now attempt to destroy her life.
Bet she changes her mind about being an American citizen!
ReplyDeleteIf she just would have understood that it is the perverse that are in 'control' now. She would have known that; "the Right of the People to Keep and Bear Arms, shall not be Infringed" doesn't mean - EVERYWHERE. Especially not on UNITED STATES PROPERTY, where the CONSTITUTION is supposed to be in FULL FORCE.
ReplyDeleteFor all we know, she could have very well thought, that by carrying the gun, she was PROVING that she understood what being a citizen is ALL about! But, of course she was reading the OLD Constitution. Not the new twisted, perverted and subverted one.
"I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the (NEW TWISTED, PERVERTED AND SUBVERTED) Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; THAT I WILL BEAR ARMS ON BEHALF of the (NEW TWISTED, PERVERTED AND SUBVERTED) United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the armed forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; SO HELP ME GOD."
This government has turned into the lowest form of reptiles. One even could conclude, that 'they' are subterranean reptiles from hell.
Federal gun charges for an unloaded .22.
ReplyDeleteThis is Patricia Konie all over again.
She should tell them where they can stick that little revolver.
to be naturalized she must pass examination on civics and the constitution. She must show that she understands the constitution and swear loyalty to it and thereby the nation. Something her arrestors and indicters have failed to do.
ReplyDeleteGiven the choice, I would choose her over all those others as my fellow citizen.
And the .22 was unloaded. Pity! Think of the stir the little lady would have caused had the gun been loaded.
ReplyDeleteNow, if she'd been an over-weight, out-of-shape 5'1" female from the sheriff's department transporting a hulking 6'10" murderer to the judge by herself, so that said murderer could take her loaded gun away and kill the judge and a few other folks, well, that would be okay.
I've read stories in NRA magazine about folks wishing they had not left their guns in the car when going in to a restrauant to eat dinner. I think one lady in Texas saw her parents shot right in front of her by some two-bit thug.
e. david - I know it isn't funny, but you made me laugh. Thanks.
Beach Girl - It was intended as ironic. In both the humorously sardonic, as well as the horridly contradictory sense.
ReplyDeleteOooops! Your welcome, BTW!

we need to give her the judges job instead of just appearing before her.
ReplyDeleteThe thing that bothers me is the "I don't know where that came from" crap. This woman has some cash apparently, she should have said you're damn right it's my gun. I keep it for my safety (albeit unloaded) as a deterrent when I go about my business activities.
The damn illegals here smuggling drugs, guns, terrorists, and MORE illegals don't get crap. What is so hard to understand that right has become wrong and black has become white for people. Do people ACTUALLY vote or do they just tell us a low number to justify their continuing careers as slave masters?
