We're NOT the Only Ones Good Enough

Old Gun Conviction Disrupts Afghanistan Combat Vet's Dream of Joining NY Police [More]
Look at the bright side, pal--this'll keep you from doing to some other poor guy what happened to you, which is one of the priority functions of Bloomberg's "Only Ones."

HTF did this guy get into the Army with a felony conviction in the first place? I knew the enlistment standards have tanked in the last decade or so but this is ridiculous. And meanwhile, Lautenberg prevents people who haven't been convicted of anything from carrying a weapon....

In many states, the felony conviction will prevent you from registering to vote. You are no longer a citizen but a subject.

"Together, they've gotten the courts to give Hernandez back his right to carry a gun. "

How'd they do that? Thought that was unfunded since the first Klinton regime...or was it before that?

Hernandez says that if he can't join the police force, he'll try to find an alternate way to serve his community.

I hear there's an open senate seat...maybe you can work towards repealing laws infringing Americans' rights.

Pardon my lack of gentility, but fuck Hernandez!

That's right! I don't want the sonofabitch to be a cop, not under any conditions.

Did you all miss the part where he said "I made a mistake"? He didn't make a mistake. NY made the mistake, they violated the constitution and his constitutional rights, they jailed him for their crimes, they denied him membership in their group for exercising his rights in violation of illegal law. Ok. We don't expect better than that from "THEM". We know they are anti-freedom, anti-rights, hooray for us and fuck the citizen.

This man had it done to him. Yet he is desperate to be one of them. Fuck him.
