Bill-Illegally selling guns makes me sick, not the use of CIs.

Geez Bill, you are way over the top on your comments. The rope part means that the soap won't slip out of your hands and hit the floor so you need to bend down and pick it up. It's more of an anti-rape comment.

It's funny that should be mentioned. At the sentencing hearing Hooper's attorney asked about that very line from this very post and what I meant by it. Before I could say anything the DA told me not to answer. I thought the bailiff was going to fall over laughing.

So not only selling guns illegally but selling guns that had been stolen......criminal steals gun, sells gun to buy blow probably, innocent shop owner buys gun and sells to another criminal to use in another crime. Bravo to the informants......

David, what sentence did Hooper receive on the card fraud? The article didn't even mention that he was just convicted last year. And what was your involvement in the case?

I *believe* the sentence was 10 to 23 months. It was definitely 10 months on the low end. His court fines, not counting the nearly $70k in restitution he owes, were over $130k. He sold me a bunch of resealed wax and fake autographs for over $5000.
