WCAX: Church Street gun incident leads to charges


 
Existing state law resulted in his arrest and now federal a federal law will be used by
a federal law enforcement agency to have federal prosecutors brings charges in
federal court and if convicted he will serve time in a federal correctional facility and
then be on federal parole by federal parole officers.
 
Notice a trend here?  The Vermont prosecutors, courts, and corrections will not be
using our all ready overtaxed systems to handle a criminal problem for which the
federal resources exist.
Given the impressive criminal record of this individual, who violated numerous state
and federal laws, does anyone really think a municipal ordinance would have deterred him?
