No Guns For Me, But Not For Thee January 18, 2008

LOS ANGELES — A former gang member who founded an anti-violence group called No Guns has pleaded no contest to federal weapons charges.
Hector “Big Weasel” Marroquin, 51, and co-defendant Sylvia Arrellano, 25, entered pleas Thursday for three counts of manufacture, distribution and transport for sale of an unlawful assault weapon.
Arrellano also pleaded no contest to machine gun conversion and possessing a silencer and acknowledged that the crime was committed for the benefit of a criminal street gang.
She was given until Tuesday to surrender for sentencing and would likely be sentenced to four years in prison, prosecutors said.

Marroquin founded No Guns in 1996, ostensibly to reduce gang and gun violence. The group received $1.5 million from the city as a subcontractor on anti-gang efforts but its contract was canceled last year after authorities learned that Marroquin had hired relatives, including his son, Hector “Little Weasel” Marroquin.
The son is an acknowledged 18th Street gang member who pleaded no contest in June 2007 to home-invasion robbery and was sentenced to nine years in state prison.
It may seem hypocritical for “former” gang-bangers to come out against guns. But it’s perfectly consistent for them to do so, when you consider that their “former” line of work is made a lot easier if you take their advice.

President Bush wants to pump $150 billion of money the Federal government doesn’t have into an economy that’ll spend it all on China-made garbage at Big Box Mart anyway.
Economic stimulus. Yeah, there’s a good laugh.
Drop Dead, White Man January 18, 2008

ROTTERDAM, 17/01/08 - Labour (PvdA) politician Bouchra Ismaili has reviled a citizen of Rotterdam in an e-mail. The man was told that as a member of the white minority in his district, he should not complain about the Islamic organisation Hizb ut-Tahrir.
Ismaili, who has Moroccan nationality, is a council member for PvdA in the Rotterdam district council of Charlois. “You are the immigrants here!!!”, she wrote to the white man who drew her attention by e-mail to statements by the controversial Muslim organisation Hizb ut-Tahrir. Ismali also wrote in her e-mail reply to the man: ‘Drop dead,’ and ‘convert to Islam,’ Algemeen Dagblad reported yesterday.
Why is this so shocking? The good white progressives of The Netherlands have pandered to Muslims for years, and have essentially made Islam the country’s official religion. As such, why wouldn’t a Muslim politician say these things?

So says the state trial level judge who presided over his first two trials. And there will be no new trial unless his defense appeals and a higher court rules otherwise. Barring that, sentencing is next month.
Another Liberal Governor Sees the Immigration Light January 18, 2008

Martin O’Malley, Governor of the People’s Republic of Maryland, has, Eliot Spitzer-like, reversed his previous pro-immigration position, and will no longer mount resistance to the Federal Real ID Law.
Even though there are many problems with Real ID when it comes to privacy rights, it should be noted that privacy rights were probably the furthest thing from the Governor’s mind when he initially opposed Real ID.
