Sipsey Street Irregulars: If you can't practice law because you assaulted somebody, become a politician. If you can't beat them to death with your hands, call for gun control.

If you can't practice law because you assaulted somebody, become a politician. If you can't beat them to death with your hands, call for gun control.

A reader draws my attention to this story, "Virginia lawmaker's AK-47 sparks gun debate on House floor."

And links it to this one from the Daily caller from 2011:

Politician responsible for brutal assault may run for Va. attorney general.

His comment:

The anti-gun nut Drudge linked to who brandished an AK on the state house floor in VA was disbarred as a lawyer for a vicious assault and beating of a man in 1999. No wonder why he doesn't want citizens to be armed! As pro gun people, we should welcome the chance to make him the face of the anti-gun movement.

These stupid asses probably don't even know how to check or clear a weapon.That they should be allowed to handle one in a public place is testimony to just how stupid they really are.; January 20, 2013 at 8:53 AM

Point is, he is a freaking idiot, and now all of his colleagues know this.

On the radio, the interviewer told him that he had broken several of the most basic gun safety rules, his response was again, "that was my point".

You cant fix stupid I guess.

carlwk3c said...: Yea, if he was convicted, shouldn't he be barred from posession? But, as one of the "special people" like the idiot with the magazine in DC, he'll ge a pass.
Time for the lawbreakers and oath breakers to be held accountable.; January 20, 2013 at 5:34 PM
Anonymous said...: Can he legally have a firearm after being disbarred for assault? Is he the next david gregory? Does anyone familiar with VA law know?; January 20, 2013 at 6:36 PM
Anonymous said...: Let's do an investigation into this. I would love to know if he is able to even possess a firearm considering his disbarment for assault.

Hilarious title, btw.; January 20, 2013 at 10:50 PM

I emailed this to the daily caller yday and they put this up. Apparently there have been other offenses!

That list included the December 1993 suspension of Morrissey’s law license for six months following a complaint from a rape victim in a case he prosecuted. Morrissey, she said, allowed her rapist to plea-bargain his case down to a misdemeanor after his father paid $50,000 — half to the victim and the other half to charities Morrissey chose. She also testified that Morrissey hid the details of the plea-bargain from her.

The bar had already sanctioned Morrissey in June of that year when it learned of his misconduct in a felony drunk-driving case. Without asking the court’s permission, Morrissey issued a new arrest warrant with a reduced charge of misdemeanor reckless driving. He was required to write a formal letter of apology to the judge.; January 20, 2013 at 11:16 PM
Anonymous said...: LOL - this fascist thug was a prosecutor before, which is not surprising. He allowed a rapist and a drunk driver to plead down, he got into a fist fight with someone else, he represented someone who he had once prosecuted, he was disbarred by fed court system, the state va board asked the state supreme court not to reinstate him, etc. THis is something right out of the Onion!

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
