    She ran on responsible gun regulation, now she's accused of killing her campaign treasurer

    A former Georgia Congressional candidate has been charged with murder after her former campaign treasurer was found dead inside her apartment.

    Kellie Collins, of Thomason, turned herself into the McDuffie County Sheriff’s Office just as authorities in Aiken County, South Carolina found the body of Curtis Cain, Collins’ former campaign treasurer.

    Investigators said Cain did not show up for work on Tuesday, so deputies went to his home to check on him. That’s when they found him dead from an apparent gunshot wound.

    Is a whomp whomp appropriate?

    From the Federalist:

    Collins ran as a Democrat against Republican incumbent Rep. Jody Hice. In an interview, Collins said, “The GOP is targeting all women, minorities, members of the LGBT community and disabled people as lesser sections of society and you can see it in the bills they have passed and are attempting to pass so far in 2017.”

    Collins also called President Trump an “unqualified demagogue” and was a proponent of socialized health care.

    Collins dropped out of the race in 2017, a year before the charges, citing personal reasons. In addition to murder charges, police charged Collins with grand larceny after Cain’s Subaru Legacy was reported missing.

    This really is at the heart of why democrat voters don't want people to own guns.

    They know how violent they are, or have friends and family members who are extremely violent or involved in crime, so don't want anyone else to own a firearm.

    Conservatives, on the other hand, want other people to own firearms because we see people as needing to be able to defend themselves from violent people.

    That paradigm makes all the difference.

    I've experienced this in a few left-leaning folks who have (quite honestly, to their credit) argued 'I don't trust myself with a gun and [thus] I can't trust anyone else with one either.' They were notoriously bad at regulating their emotional responses to conflict.

    Im not prepared to accept this dynamic as a major contributor to the desire for more gun laws... yet. But given the emotional reaponses to Trump lately, Im not ruling it out either.

    In California we have our own...


    [​IMG]

    Leland Yin Yee (Chinese: 余胤良; pinyin: Yú Yìnliáng, born November 20, 1948) is a former Democratic California State Senator for District 8, which when he was elected, covered parts of San Francisco and the Peninsula. In 2015, Yee pleaded guilty to felony racketeering charges for money laundering, public corruption and bribery.

    Prior to becoming state senator, Yee was a California State Assemblyman, Supervisor of San Francisco's Sunset District, and was a member and President of the San Francisco School Board. In 2004 Yee became the first Asian American to be appointed Speaker pro Tempore, making him the second highest ranking Democrat of the California State Assembly.

    Yee was arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on March 26, 2014 on charges related to public corruption and gun trafficking — specifically buying automatic firearms and shoulder-launched missiles from the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), an Islamist extremist group located in the southern Philippines and attempting to re-sell those weapons to an undercover FBI agent, as well as accepting a $10,000 bribe from an undercover agent in exchange for placing a call to the California Department of Public Health regarding a contract at the organization.[2]

    Of course democrats will cover for her and she can probably run while in prison. Dems love crooks. She will run as a democrat and they will say the shooting was just a really late term abortion.....pro choice and all.

    She was probably just standing her ground. If the victim was black, republicans will believe her.

    I've suspected that was the case. People on the left don't trust themselves not to do anything crazy so they don't trust anyone else not to either.

    If just after that she were to dabble in porn acting, they'd immediately run her for president.

    Was trump lying about her then or is he lying about her now?
