Cuomo: Perform An Anatomically-Impossible Act

The abuse of a legally-infirm strategy ("pass it before you read it"; voiding of the 3 day NY legal waiting period on passage of introduced legislation) to pass legislation that is flatly unconstitutional with full knowledge that the law proposed would have done exactly nothing to prevent Sandy Hook is bad enough. No restriction on mentally-ill people getting firearms nor any restriction on magazine capacity would have done a thing, as the shooter at Sandy Hook took the firearms from a lawful owner after murdering said lawful owner.

What's worse is this provision in the law:

The legislation would also include the "Webster provision," a mandatory life-without-parole sentence for anyone found to have killed a first responder. The provision is a reference to the Christmas Eve shooting in the Monroe County town, where two firefighters were shot and killed.

That's because your ****ed-up state couldn't be bothered to keep imprisoned the man who is accused of killing these firefighters.

This provision is unlawful and a direct violation of The Declaration of Independence's declaration of natural rights as it declares in formal statutory language that the life of a "first responder" (as you define one) is superior to the life of anyone else.

The Declaration says otherwise.

This provision in the law constitutes the outrageous act of*****ing on the grave of the gunman's grandmother, who the accused (and presumably guilty, as he committed suicide when confronted) previously killed by beating her with a hammer.

EVERY lawmaker who voted for this piece of unconstitutional trash deserves an eternity in Hell for that act of violence done to the memory of the shooter's grandmother and the outrageous declaration that her life was worth less than that of those firefighters.

Instead of locking the accused up for life when he killed his grandmother with said hammer, a crime he was duly convicted of, your ****-headed government let him out of prison so he could commit more homicides, and it certainly appears he did exactly that.

Those two firefighters lives are on your head, NY State Lawmakers and Mr. Cuomo, as if you had kept that convicted killer behind bars he could not have shot the firefighters.

Joyce Posts: 96 Incept: 2012-01-08	When I say in conversation that with laws containing additional penalties (for killing a cop, judge, politician, 'hate crime')... all of us ordinary individuals are treated as lesser human beings. They rolls their eyes at best; think I'm crazy at worst. Intent is a necessary element for crimes such as murder, of course. Motive is not, and should not, be taken into consideration for punishment (hate crime). Who the victim is should also not be taken into consideratio (should there be less penalty for killing someone with poor quality of life?) What does it matter who was killed and why they killed them? (in terms of murder specifically, not justifiable homicide) Not to get off subject... but I also say what does it matter why someone is driving recklessly putting others at harm (whether a horrible driver, too tired, drunk, high, etc etc). Unless we're using Nazi style checkpoint looking for seat belts, license plate bulbs, inspection stickers, 'your papers', or drinking & driving.... there is no way to stop someone lawfully to accuse them of drunk driving unless they are swirving and/or hit something. Our govt is so ***ed up. vent over 2013-01-17 11:31:11 Permalink*

Drb Posts: 195 Incept: 2011-01-02 TX	Unfortunately equality before the law is a quaint and outdated idea. Cops can kick the crap out of a teen in Houston, their union hires best lawyer, and they get off with warnings (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chad_Holley.... They kill an army veteran and get fined $1, and spend only 9 months in prison!!! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Campos_.... A rich guy can get drunk and drive over someone killing him, and lawyers get him off, while a poor guy gets many years behind bars for the same. Similarly, "hate crimes" get prosecuted with more vigor than the same crimes which do not fall under that category. 2013-01-17 11:35:13 Permalink

Joyce Posts: 96 Incept: 2012-01-08	jack_crabb More from that article, "I hope Chief Charles McClelland recognizes that what his officers are now complaining about is a fear many of the citizens of Houston have lived with for decades," Cofield said. "And while it may be true that the vast majority of the 5,300 HPD officers do not brutalize citizens, far too many are complicit because they sit silently by with full knowledge of those who do brutalize citizens." This person nails it. If the pigs actually want us to believe they care about abuse of power, all they have to do is 2 things: - arrest, try, and imprison a cop when he does the same thing as us mere mortals do that's against the law - **** the brothers in blue code and stop covering for your partner and friends, and if you do send that person(s)' ass to jail too Those JBT's who now call us civilians, as if they are part of the army or marines, it makes my blood boil. 2013-01-17 12:10:33 Permalink
Poodlelover Posts: 143 Incept: 2012-02-02	Recently (a few years) the state was looking to legislation capital punishment ONLY for killing cops. I thought it was abhorrent and glad it didn't pass and agree completely with Karl. The idea that one should receive MORE punishment for killing person A over person B is vile and ghastly. BTW, I visit another forum often and I've never seen such angst by some about the NY state gun law they've just passed. Even people who are dead-cool all the time were clearly upset, and one saying he's now a Republican in NY. 2013-01-17 12:19:25 Permalink
Flaps10 Posts: 5144 Incept: 2008-10-17 seattle Online	Why do they call the people who show up after you call 911 "first responders". Having cut people out of cars and began first aid I've become used to the idea that when the professionals show up I'll be asked to step aside and not spoken too again, so that idea of who is really "first" has always annoyed me. ---------- "Better to die on your feet than live on your knees" 2013-01-17 12:19:28 Permalink

"We can't pit the community, and especially the minority community, against the police," the chief said. That is hilarious. Does this guy think he is a comedian? The pigs have been against the minority community for decades. Are not pigs in the public eye?

Bertdilbert Posts: 2650 Incept: 2008-12-22 CA	Yeah that NY gun law was pretty much like government got out of the wrong side of the bed and decided to abuse their citizens. I think the reason they made it so draconian and rushed it, was to front run Obama's executive orders and since the NY gun laws was such an outrage, the focus of rage would be on NY and not on Obama. So NY citizens can probably thank Obama for the asinine laws. ---------- Dear Euroland: Relax, Germany has a plan for your money!

The provision is a reference to the Christmas Eve shooting in the Monroe County town, where two firefighters were shot and killed." Come on, Karl. For they are designated the "King's Men" after all. They get paid like medical doctors and are allowed to retire as early as 50 and are often even immune from the laws that the rest of us must follow to the letter. So why wouldn't there be enhanced penalties for killing one? If my neighbor's house caught on fire and I ran over to help put it out...and in the process some sniper took a pot shot and wasted me - I would expect the shooter to be out of jail and a free man in 7 years or less. For I am not one of the "King's Men". I know my place. We must all know our places in society. ---------- "Ammunition beats persuasion when you are looking for freedom."
