Probation?
- In giving probation with no jail time to a Milwaukee man charged with 55 counts of buying firearms with fake identification and dealing them without a license, a federal judge delivered a message:
"People kill people," U.S. District Rudolph Randa said, echoing a common gun rights slogan. "Guns don't kill people."
Dontray Mills, 24, purchased a total of 27 firearms, mostly handguns, between December 2012 and April 2014 and pleaded guilty to one of the charges on April 22, 2014, after an ATF investigation. As a result of the conviction, Mills will never again be able to buy firearms legally.
On Wednesday, he was sentenced. As part of the plea bargain, prosecutors agreed with the one year of probation.
Randa said he recognized the seriousness of the offense and acknowledged the problem of guns winding up in the hands of people who use them to commit violence.
But Mills, Randa said, did not come across as a typical defendant because of his good behavior since the charges and his life ambitions, which include becoming a rap musician. While on bail, Mills twice traveled to Los Angeles to work on a film and to pursue his musical aspirations.
And you know, it's not like rap artists ever commit crimes. We wonder how many guns made the trip south to Chicago.

Well, that'll teach him!!!!
The Judge did well. The young man was polite and turning his life around. In other words he is a model citizen.
The liberals will look at this story and claim that we need more gun laws.
This motherfucker should be leg-ironed to a boulder the size
of a Chicago Two-Flat, handed a ball peen hammer and told
to hurry the fuck up and commence his sentence of making
a pile of fine gravel...
Gun-Running should be treated as being as bad if not worse than Murder.
Can't punish the criminals, that'd be raaaaacisss.
Has anyone tracked the guns this guy was trafficking?
I assume as part of his VERY generous plea deal he had to help them track down all the guns he sold? Didn't they?
How many of his buyers have been arrested?
lol ... a rap musician... did you guys type that in there as a joke ???
The libs want more (gun) laws, but they can't enforce the ones already on the books.
"Corruptisima republica plurimae leges" - Tacitus
Damn. Should have taken up rapping, not policing....
Wow
Wonder who is his lawyer
Anybody else they would be long gone
What did the FEDERAL JUDGE get in return?
Wow! There sure are an awful lot of aspiring rap artists in America.
I would like to hear what the Milwaukee Sheriff says about this.
You'll see him again, caught doing the same nonsense. (look at dope dealers)
He wasn't buying them legally in the first place.
Every victim of one of these guns should sue this guy all his "future earnings" as a rap star. I personally, am an aspiring neurosurgeon so all you people sending me bills, chill, I will pay you when the money starts flowng after a few surgical procedures. Probation? Well that will certainly stop any future straw buyers.
people don't kill people
Chuck Norris kills people
Wow. Just wow. When is this country going to wake up? Even federal judges are living in fantasy land. If you don't put this guy away for serious time why bother. I don't want to hear any more BS about gun control when illegal guns are treated with slaps on the wrist all the time. Probation probation probation. Because he is an aspiring rapper ? Tell that one to "young pappy" 's crew in uptown.

The armed Oak Lawn bank robbery suspects get home confinement?
This is what is wrong with our judicial system, what will they do next while the judge has in essence "sent them to their bedrooms"
Judge Randa should be charged when Mr. Mills surprises no one and does end up as a "typical defendant" charged with 55 counts of buying firearms. To give this mutt probation saying he has shown good behavior and has life ambitions is a complete JOKE!!!!! Thank you Judge Randa perhaps you can be his personal babysitter to ensure he stays on the right track you speak of.
Add the bank robbers that got I bonded out to home confinement.

Then over here we have louie farrakan with his brother eminem
Nation of Islam’s Farrakhan meets with Eminem in Detroit! The head of the Nation of Islam, Minister Louis Farrakhan, met politicians, pastors and a police chief during his visit to Detroit last week.
But it’s his unprecedented meeting with rapper Eminem over a 2 1/2-hour dinner in his Detroit hotel room that has garnered the most attention.
The leader of the Detroit-founded group was in Southfield and Detroit in recent weeks to talk about his plans for the 20th anniversary of the Million Man March with an event called Justice or Else.
In his meeting with Eminem on Aug. 25, Farrakhan talked about the responsibilities that stars like Eminem have toward society, “to influence people positively,” said Troy Muhammad, a student minister who heads the Detroit branch of the Nation of Islam.
Does louie know that the rapper is white? Poor louie is his vision going? How does this guy along with jackson and sharpton get their millions? they never had a job!
“It was a beautiful discussion,” Muhammad said. “Eminem was engaged. His manager (Paul Rosenberg) was engaged. It was a great time and experience.”
There was allegations Chief Keefe was doing the same for the Black Disciples.
Garrrrrry..... Garrrrrry..... Garrrrrrrry....
What ya think about this ruling, Garrrrry?
I am guessing he did some serious ratting out of some buddies.

Ding Ding Ding we have a winner!!!
I'm thinking this aspiring rap artist is now a Federal informant. Or the judge is off his meds and out of his mind. Or both.
Now watch if they caught a cop doing an illegal sale. Ten to twenty years perhaps?
The world needs another aspiring rap artist.
How about an investigation into how many murders can be traced back to the guns this douchebag bought?
They all aspire to be something.
None of them actually make it but into mid life they keep aspiring.
Ya gotta love their spin on life. Not!
Chicago's police superintendent says an officer who made racially charged remarks in a video that included the taunt Michael Brown "deserved it" won't be fired
New Ferguson report offers lessons on handling protests
The killing of the unarmed Brown by a white officer in Ferguson, Missouri sparked protests, the "Black Lives Matter" movement and a national debate over police treatment of minorities.
Superintendent Garry McCarthy said Friday the unidentified white Chicago police officer will lose about a week's vacation and undergo retraining.
Police investigate cop in video appearing to say Michael Brown 'got what he had coming'
Police investigate cop in video appearing to say Michael Brown 'got what he had coming'
McCarthy told WLS-AM the officer is "sick to his stomach" about his failure to "maintain his composure and his professionalism."
During an apparent argument, the unidentified man shooting the video mentions Brown's name and says he doesn't trust police. The officer, after responding he doesn't care he's being recorded, says Brown "got what he had coming."

wow Tribune! Killed an unarmed thug! How about the thug attempted to disarm a police officer and attempted to kill a police officer before the officer regained control! gary is "sick to his stomach" about this? You were considering firing this officer? yep sure you have our backs sir!!
This is EXACTLY the one you want to go after to make a dent in the street violence -- pack him off "Operation Exile," someplace 1000 miles away -- and the fool of a judge gets "impressed" and lets him go and make another run to take care of bidness with his LA crew.
Unbelievable.
The Febs ??? So what they spent years in Harvey and whats's changed nothing, same snake oil salesman for a Mayor same crooks in office bleeding every last dime out of the shit hole . How about some accountability for all the time and money and man hours spent in some shit hole south suburb that produced exactly NOTHING ????

You mean "expiring?"
>grin<
Nothing like being found drifting slowly, motionless, "unresponsive," face-down a couple of inches above the tile bottom of your own personally-monogrammed swimming pool.
Got a shower that works. I'll pass.

They ever pay their water bills, or did the millions in arrears just sort of, well, disappear "pending an administrative review?"
