    as long as it’s consistent with anyone not the son of a famous politician

    As the article notes, it is not consistent, and the charges were likely brought due to political pressure.

    Your average addict would have these charges dropped and a diversionary program offered, as was in the initial plea deal (prior to political pressure being leveraged).

      Well then, I oppose it. But not because I’m part of some cult-of-personality about the man… That would just be pathetic!

      I thought the people bringing the charges are the ones against all the regulations and background checks on firearms to begin with. So all of a sudden they’re just changing their minds, as a party, on an issue that’s one of the foundations of their entire platform. Yeah, no one is going to see right through that giant pile of hypocritical bullshit.
