Angel Update

For those of you keeping track of Angel's legal situation here is what I know as of Sunday night. I have received two updates from Gary Marbut, both saying that nothing new can be reported. Angel has a court date on Tuesday. After that something should be available.

Leroy Pyle, who hates Angel, has been distributing email alerts from a rabidly anti-gun website which allege to have some information about Angel's situation. Here is what the moonbats say. That the mother of Angel's son reported him to the police for threatening to kill her. She is also reported to have told police that he had a number of weapons in his possession. The police raided his residence and found a number of handguns, long guns and several thousand rounds of ammunition (sounds like my gun safe). Angel was arrested for the unregistered weapons and the charge of threatening the woman.

Angel's camp says (and I have absolutely no reason to doubt) that he was in the process of completing the paperwork to register his weapons. As far as I know there are no laws in Michigan or Detroit limiting the amount of ammunition that one may possess.

I have seen women accuse men of threatening them or of molesting their children in cases where they fear a custody battle. Also where they are just pissed off bitches. When this happens the man is arrested, his guns are confiscated (sometimes never returned) and his reputation is damaged, sometimes permanently. I have no direct knowledge of the events in question, but what I know of Angel makes it hard for me to believe that he is guilty.

I have also seen police refuse to enforce restraining orders against abusive monsters as well so police screwups cut both ways.

Finaly, Leroy Pyle should be fraking ashamed of himself. In his zeal to keep the alliance between gun owners and the law enforcment community intact Leroy lashes out at any critic of the police and their choice to enforce unconstitutional gun laws with the kind of venom usually only found in sewers like the dailykos or the Democratic Underground and their attacks on President Bush.
