Man found guilty of weapon possession at MSU(MS)
Posted by admin / Under MS Veendam
STARKVILLE - District Attorney Forrest Allgood said the decision to prosecute former Mississippi State University student Jeffrey Hill for possession of a weapon by a student on educational property should not be perceived as an "anti-gun" prosecution.

A previous trial on the charge, also argued by Allgood, resulted in a hung jury. "I am a firm believer in the Second Amendment, and I'm a life-long member of the (National Rifle Association)," Allgood said. "I know we have...

Cavuto: Ann Romney hasn't had it easy
Posted by admin / Under MS Veendam
So Ann Romney doesn't have any real life experiences? Doesn't know a thing about difficulty? Or pain? …that her gilded life has shielded her from the day-to-day concerns of average folks?
