When Self-Defense Becomes a Crime: Welcome to New York

(00:00.75)

kill a bad guy, a mugger that was trying to rob you, come after you, do harm to you, and you go to jail? Yes, welcome. Welcome, my friends, to New York City. A Queens senior citizen who shot dead a man who tried to rob him is going to spend four years in prison after admitting

to carrying a unlicensed revolver. Yeah, they have very draconian gun laws in New York. Again, it’s Charles Foner. He pled guilty to one count of criminal weapons possession in a deal to end his case after two years. Probably couldn’t afford his lawyers anymore.

Why would they go after this guy? The guy came after him. He lunged at him late at night in his driveway. And he went to protect himself. Again, I guess they went into his house and he had other weapons in his house. Again, law-abiding citizen, never did anything wrong.

But they decided to throw the book at him. Okay. The guy that went after him, let me put this into perspective. Okay. The guy that went after him had 15 arrests.

15, again, you see that you hear this again, again, you get these repeat offenders, 15 arrests. You think about it for a second. How many awful things does a person have to do because you’re not getting caught every single time to actually be arrested 15 times and then you let these people out of jail? All we see this again, again, we don’t do anything. It’s a revolving door, cops know it, you’re arrest these people, you’re gonna let them out. So a senior citizen, senior citizen does.

my opinion of public service, okay, takes somebody out. Again, I don’t like loss of life either, but I am sorry. I believe that people should have the right to defend themselves. And he’s going to jail for four years. Welcome to New York. Watchdogonwallstreet.com.
