When a jury gathers next week for the trial of two men charged with the murder of a U.S. federal agent, it will not hear any details of how two guns found at the murder scene were part of a U.S. government-sanctioned weapon program, a federal judge has ruled.
Friday morning, U.S. District Court Judge David Bury agreed with U.S. prosecutors to keep the details of Operation Fast and Furious out of the upcoming trial for the murder of U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry.
Terry was killed in a firefight with a crew of armed Mexican men who were scouting the desert in search of drug smugglers to rob. Two AK-47 variants were found at the crime scene. Those rifles were purchased in a gun-tracking operation overseen by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Operation Fast and Furious. ATF officials had hoped weapons purchased at a Glendale gun store would eventually turn up in the hands of high-level Mexican drug traffickers. Instead, ATF lost track of more than 1,400 guns. The two found at Terry’s death were part of the operation, congressional investigators later found.

Between that, and the judicial ruling this past week that the “BPD 6” will be tried in Baltimoredore (not moving the venue) by a jury of Orcs (the same ones that rioted) picked from Baltimore City’s population (yeah, that’ll be fair), we’ve been shown that justice is irrelevant to politics and bench/prosecutorial activism. With what I’ve seen first hand, I don’t call it the “justice system” anymore, I call it the “judicial system”.
Baltimore and the BPD6…….
that trial is just begging for a jury nullification,
Assholes, but it comes as no surprise as the entire system has been corrupted and must be dismantled.
Strictly speaking WHERE the killers got their guns is not particularly relevant. The salient question being did they kill this BP agent. How and with what is ancillary to the fundamental issue.
If someone murders one of my kids I don’t care a great deal if he bought the gun legally, stole it
or Lt. Scott beamed it to him from the Enterprise. What I would care about is that the killer be tried and convicted based on true evidence and then executed. The source of the weapon would be a separate issue.
The “Fast and Furious” aspect should not be a factor in regards to the defendants. What the BATFE
did is a separate issue and those responsible should be held accountable as accessories to the felony’s they facilitated by providing weapons.
If I was on the jury Id still do the same thing that I would do for any other case. Exercise jury nullification. Not guilty on any weapons charges.
The right people in prison for the wrong reasons ensures the imprisonment of the wrong people.
Sounds good in theory, as we all know who really deserves time, but I’d take that theory on a case to case basis.
In this case even the low level shooters/murderers…dare I say illegal invaders, get the shaft too.
