Instant Karma’s gonna get you …
“A Buffalo, N.Y. community activist who is well known locally for pushing for a highly restrictive 2013 gun control law has been arrested for — wait for it — carrying a gun illegally at a public elementary school …”
Gonna knock you right in the head …
“… Dwayne Ferguson … was at Harvey Elementary because he works as a mentor in an after-school program for disadvantaged students. He said he frequently carries a pistol. He has a license but the license does not matter under the strict state law Ferguson helped pass. Among much else, the 2013 law, deemed New York’s SAFE Act, made it a felony to carry a gun on school property …”
You better get yourself together …
“… The community activist has claimed that he forgot he was carrying his gun in a felony gun-free zone he helped create …”
Pretty soon you’re gonna be dead …
“… Ferguson was eventually busted when police were patting down the people at the school so they could evacuate …”
What in the world you thinking of? …
“… Throughout the duration of the terrifying lockdown, the community activist never bothered to tell the cops that he was carrying a gun …”
Laughing in the face of love …
“… “He had opportunities,” local chief of police Kevin Brinkworth told the News. “I will say he had no ill intent to harm these students,” Brinkworth noted. “I don’t know why he had it on him.” …”
What on Earth you trying to do? …
“… Ferguson is the head of the Buffalo chapter of MAD DADS, a national group that opposes gang violence and illegal drugs. MAD DADS is an acronym for Men Against Destruction Defending Against Drugs and Social Disorder. The father of three also belongs to Buffalo Peacemakers, a separate anti-violence group that stands athwart gang-related crime …”
It’s up to you …
“… Ferguson is something of a professional vigilante in Buffalo …”
Yeah, you …
“… He can be seen patrolling local malls and city streets in an effort to stop gang violence …”
While I have a hunch this guy will get off…..
Do you think he’ll get off the hook? And if so, could it weaken SAFE?
It wouldn’t surprise me if he gets the charges reduced.
No, I don’t think it would weaken SAFE.
….But if it had been one of us “extremists” that Gov Cuomo so labeled us, you could be sure the DA would be prosecuting!
