Gun running Kiwi terrorists.
 

There's this Kiwi who runs a sporting guns shop in NZ. He goes to the US
regularly to buy sport rifles. Airport staff arrest him for not
declaring he's shipping guns (he said he did declare them). Charged,
he's advised to plea bargain -and gets 1 year in the slammer. Just as
he's about to be released they ship him to Georgia who says he bought
the guns illegally -although he supplied his address, photo id, phone
number and bank account. Told he'd be wise to plea bargain -he does and
gets another year added to his jail sentence. He's about to be released
and INS now jump on the bandwagon. He's now an overstayer on his visa...
He tells them he would love to have left but they wouldn't let him.
Guess what, he's back in jail. This is what happens when a mindless
(vindictive) bureaucracy takes over. The federal Govt. would not release
him to serve time here... because he's such a danger to America????
(He's generally viewed as a good father (quite religeous) carrying out a
legitimate business and who only deals in sporting rifles -no handguns
no automatic stuff.) Of course he is an alien in the US...

Cheers

Terrible. However, we do that to our own citizens, so a foreigner shouldn't
be
surprised.

So did he go to trail? Was he found guilty?

If your inoicent your should never plea bargain.

Showing your address and ID and Bank account number to an illegal arms
dealer does not make it legal to purchace weapons from them. And to
plea bargain twice when you know your not guilty and got screwed the
first time seems to be an un-wise way to act unless you are guilty.

A sad story indeed if true Nav. But for some reason I have the
feeling Im only getting one side of this story.

I'm sure they would have if you'd been available.

That's not what the attorny advised. It was his word against the airline
clerk and who do you think the jury would beleive -an airline clerk or
an alien?

Who said anything about an illegal arms dealer? He was buying weapons at
regular outlets as far as I know.

maybe but why do you want to pay to keep him in jail. Any sensible
person would realize he's no threat, revoke his visa and ship him out to
his home country for detention. (While he may have broken some law he
probably did it without intent.)

Hey Oz

Let me tell you about the time I was waiting in line at LA for a clerk
who seemed more interested in chatting? She was full of attitude. There
I was, waiting and waiting, so I just beamed a big smile/grin at her.
She looked at me and said "Do you want something?" I said "I'm waiting
to be served". She said "Waiting to be served? We are not your servants
here" I said "I never said you are but I think my ticket pays part of
your salary. In fact, I 'd say your job is to make sure I get on my
plane in a timely way. I wonder whether the airport really needs an
employee who won't help me get on my plane?" You should have seen her
face -she was fit to explode. I've flown though dozens of airports and
I'd say the staff at LA have the worst attitude to passengers.

Cheers

That would be an airline clerk who can dob in anyone with whom he has
an argument using the powers given to him under the Patriot Act.

Jeeze, quit giving the schmuck legal advice.

Avoid LAX. I always try to go to John Wayne Airport and then on to the Barry
M Goldwater terminal at Sky Harbor and finsh up at Ronald Reagan Airport. If
only B-52's flew thr route with a full nuclear load - 50 megatons worth,
then it would be an out of body experience!

The flying monkey also avoid LAX, you can say they're Ex-LAX.

I would normally recommend you diaper those airborne primates..... but there
is not worth ****ting on between those destinations.

Matter of Fact ... I have it on good account that a pandemic alteration of
migratory flights has almost every avian member flying upside down over the
continental United States.

Odd... but True!

SF is now opening up for trans pac flights! I'll use it when I can.

Tell that to Buz. He bought a pistol from his folks paper boy (a young
adult) who claimed his dad had died and his mother needed the $$$ to keep
him in school. Gun turned out stolen but since the value was questionable
the prosecutor offered to let him plead to a misdomeanor. Buz refused. He'd
known the paper boy for years, had paid a fair price, and had witnesses.
Didn't matter. He was charged with a felony and police had a half dozen
burgulars swear he was their fence - in return for dropping charges against
the actual thieves! He got a minimum sentence because his record was
spotless. That's American Justice Maryland style. You could be next ....

If Buz had a friend that was willing to pay to get him a lawyer then
perhaps Buz would still have a clean record.

In the American system you need money to be heard.

Buz I suspect was using a court appointed stooge to repesent him.

Buz is a man of princapals. I respect that.

What happened here Vito is the American system.
Money talks Bull**** walks.
Buz shifted the burden to the man.
The man makes his bucks keeping buzz locked up.
If buz took the burden(cost) to prove he is indeed innoicent.
Then the man would have a much much harder time swatting buzz.
It might cost Buzz lots of Jack!
But thats the facts.. feels like crap.

But buzz could be free to visit the Paper boy.
Roll up a newspaper.. SMACK SMACK SMACK
Make More Jack, Free to Buz about.





That's American Justice Maryland style. You could be next ....


Wanna Bet? Just keep clean, collect records, reciepts ect. And if you
do something a little shady you better plan for the worst.

By your, Bush, and Asscoft's definition, shady means questioning
authority. Don't worry, they're the ones collecting the records.

Buz had an expensive lawyer. The lawyer advised him to take the plea
bargain.
