Cleveland Mayor: Armed robber is a 'victim'
Submitted by cbaus on Tue, 05/01/2007 - 23:10.By Chad D. Baus
On March 14, 2007, Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson announced that he was going to spend precious taxpayer money to sue the State of Ohio over its decision to make all gun laws in the state uniform.
Jackson also informed citizens that he would continue to enforce the local gun control laws - laws which he claimed were necessary to protect the children of his city.
On April 22 the state witnessed yet another high-profile display of the failure of Cleveland's gun control laws, when teenaged repeat-offender Arthur Buford - one of the 'children' Mayor Jackson claims his gun control laws are protecting - illegally obtained a loaded handgun and tried to rob homeowner and CHL-holder Damon Wells. Wells acted in self-defense, and the teenaged criminal is dead.
Neighborhood thugs reponded by vandalizing Wells' home and setting up a makeshift shrine for Buford - a "good boy", by their twisted sense of things.
It took a week for Mayor Jackson to make a public statement about the incident, and it appears he agrees with the vandals who have trashed Damon Wells' home and force him to move. You see, Frank Jackson believes the armed robber is a "victim".
