As my wife said, it was probably the $500 they found in the glove box of the Merc

Perhaps the judge is sensitive to the underpriviledged background of Leominster's emigrant population?

And people can't grasp why MA has crime problems.

Imagine the bail for the driver of the Merc had he produced a licensed firearm and defended himself...

That's not it at all, Politicians can't grasp that they need to pass laws that make sense instead of helping criminals and hurting law abiding citizens. They need to punish Criminals and help law abiding citizens to help better protect themselves.
Oh, wait a minute, we are talking about Politicians here are'nt we... Common sense does not apply....

armed robbery

down here the sheriff would hold a town meeting and give the shooter the keys to the town.then line him up for a deputy job.

So they just changed the law to make it even easier to have a dangerousness hearing and here, with the existing version that was possible and they didn't do it. Yeah, I got nothing...
