The state's top federal prosecutor is paying three Baltimore television stations more than $41,000 to air a new public service announcement starting today about the potential perils faced by felons charged with federal gun crimes...
"If we get the message to criminals and prevent them from carrying guns, we will save lives and we won't have to pay to prosecute them and incarcerate them," Maryland U.S. Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein said in an e-mail yesterday.
Yeah, Rod. And if wishes were fishes, we'd all cast nets.
Blow some more grant money. It's not like it comes out of your pocket. Plus, you get your name in the papers, which never hurts a tough law-and-order prosecutor with career ambitions.
When this doesn't work--and it won't--maybe you guys can get more federal funding to try something equally effective, like magic incantations and tossing chicken bones.
"....magic incantations and tossing chicken bones."
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't put it past them. In fact, I wouldn't put ANYTHING past them....
I have a more effective idea for that type of grant money.
ReplyDeleteSince I disarmed a felon with a gun once, they should just pay me $40k per felon disarmament.
With that incentive I hunt the bastards. :-)
I think magic incantations and tossing chicken bones would probably work better than what these cretins are doing now
ReplyDeleteBetter idea would be for them to advertise a lottery, with a top prize of several millions, but limited to convicted felons who'll admit to carrying a firearm.
ReplyDeleteIt'd work better than this nonsense.
