BREAKING NEWS: ANGEL OUT
I just got off the phone with Angel Shamaya.
He's out.
He's charged with 4 counts misdemeanor possession of unregistered firearms and 1 frivolous, unwarranted, vindictive count of misdemeanor menacing.
I know we all want more, especially with the last charge, but for now, we must defer to Angel's need to protect his legal rights. I know the background of the circumstances, but my advice to Angel is to not make a public statement about that without advice of counsel. Those who know me will trust me when I say that I am convinced Angel has been made a victim here.
Here is a statement from Angel that I can release at this time:
To all the people expressing support or concern, just knowing that you are aware of my situation made it easier to bear. I do have legal representation thanks to the Second Amendment Foundation, to whom I am grateful. Alan Gottlieb and his team moved swiftly and deftly to secure counsel for me, the result of which got me out much sooner than I would have been able to do on my own.
This isn't over. Angel may face trial and even jail if convicted. I don't know of any defense fund being set up yet but I would imagine that is a possibility. I'll keep you posted.
Okay, I'm glad I scrolled to see what was up. Misdemeanor menacing. If the guns weren't registered yet he'll take a hit, hopefully a small one, and the "menacing" deal can go away if a good lawyer digs in.
ReplyDeleteSeems to me that there are more brandishing and menacing complaints lately. Guess we are scaring the sheeple.
The scumbags have learned that if you threaten someone in such a way that they pull a gun on you that you can run to the police station and file a complaint against them for brandishing. This gives you a leg up if they report you later and the cops will often go and disarm your vic for you.
