Durham, N.C. — Police said Monday that they have arrested a suspect in a Durham shooting last week that critically wounded a man.

He was being held Monday in the Durham County jail under a $500,000 bond.

A man was killed because of Big Government laws restricting freedom.

Marijuana is a leaf...like tobacco. Show us that you value freedom. Legalize pot, stop creating this violent underground prohibition and let adults make up their own mind. What business is it of yours? Where are all the "less government" people?

Felon with a gun - isn't that a Fed crime? willis2 January 28, 2013 11:59 a.m.

The article says he was just charged with the felony on saturday when they booked him. Based on the info from this article, there is no reason to believe he was a felon before.

"The only time felons spend years in prison is if the feds prosecute them."

No, the only way felons spend years in prison is when they finally kill someone. If violent felons served their entire sentence (no parole, no early release), the violent crime rate would drop dramatically.

I have nothing against parole/community service for most non-violent offenders, but the "catch and release" method of dealing with violent offenders just encourages them to commit more and more serious crimes until our justice system finally decides to treat them like the menace to society that they are.
