Authorities dropped charges yesterday against an aide to Virginia Sen. Jim Webb who carried a loaded gun into the U.S. Capitol complex."After reviewing and analyzing all of the evidence in the case, we do not believe the essential elements of the crime of carrying a pistol without a license can be proved beyond a reasonable doubt," said U.S. Attorney Jeff Taylor, top prosecutor in the District of Columbia.
hmmm. He got stopped with a pistol without a license. Where's the doubt? Oh yeah....different rules for thee and me. Webb is an arrogant lying sack of shit for allowing his aide to take his rap
Webb senior aide Phillip Thompson, 45, of Stafford County, was arrested on March 26 after Capitol Police spotted the loaded pistol and two other loaded magazines in a briefcase being scanned by an X-ray machine at the entrance of the Russell Senate office building.
Thompson told the officer at the building's entrance that the weapon belonged to Webb.
and they did
The senator said later he did not give Thompson the gun but refused to say whether it was his. Webb told reporters Thompson had carried the gun into the building "completely inadvertently."
I'm sure he did, but if it had been Sea or Dave D, we'd be looking for a replacement moderator.
District of Columbia law prohibits carrying a handgun or concealed weapon without a license.
and licenses only go to the Elite™
