  2. Remember, your PFD is reduced so these people can have public defenders, so they and their relatives can receive Medicaid, and so they will soon be out and receiving counseling.

    • I fear you are right. They should be in chains filling potholes or cleaning the side of the roads, or doing other public service. Instead liberals keep wiping society’s face with these thugs, who they seem to favor… especially if they are foreigners.

      • And you too, if accused, should be sent straight to the chain gang without trial or representation. Because that’s the America we all want.

        • Steve did not say anything about no trial. Just their sentence and punishment. How about we let them live at your house sense you are so understanding.

  4. Under federal law, the crime of Felon in Possession of a Firearm is a
    Class D felony, punishable by ten years in prison and three years of
    supervised release, and $250,000 in fines. Don’t plea bargain and get
    felons who steal or possess a firearm off the street for ten years.
