Saving Sergeant Ryan Jerome Part 2
Feb 17th, 2012 by Tennessee Walker
When last we addressed the issue of Ryan Jerome and his persecution by liberal District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr., I felt that the proper disposition of this case was to dismiss the charges. I have since changed my view. I now believe that Cyrus Vance Jr should treat Ryan Jerome they way this liberal District Attorney treats any common criminal who voluntarily turns in a hand gun. Liberal District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. should pay Ryan Jerome for his gun and allow him to walk away with no questions asked.
As reported in the Daily Caller,
As charges pend against the Indiana resident, real-life criminals are permitted to sell illegal weapons to the city for cash, no questions asked, through a taxpayer-funded program.
Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance, whose office is prosecuting Jerome, proudly promotes the “buyback” initiative.
“My plan calls for increasing the use of amnesty programs to allow the delivery of firearms to appropriate authorities without fear of prosecution,” says Vance. “This will cost money, but the greatest cost is to fail to employ an amnesty program that saves lives.”
President Lyndon Baines Johnson during the Vietnam War. To follow up his service during the 60′s he was appointed Secretary of State during the Carter Administration. That job worked out well for America as well.
How about this idea:
Let the people of New York City periodically have an election to decide who they want as their District Attorney, and let the people of New York City elect representatives to decide what laws apply in New York City. That way, the people of New York City get the laws they want, and they can remove a DA they don’t like.
Oh, silly me, they already do that.
So you are really going to drag his father into this? I don’t know about your country, but in mine we judge people’s performance on their own merits, and not on the basis of what family they come from.
Wow nitpicker is in a snit.
Nitpicker is not defending a liberal DA who prosecutes a law abiding citizen who voluntarily surrenders a gun but pays criminals $200 who do the same thing and lets them walk away no questions asked?
Nitpicker can’t seem to find a way to comment on the central issue so he changes the subject. He does this every time he gets clobbered.
Now nitpicker writes a nonsensical first paragraph on having elections. Fact is the first amendment allows me to express my views on any elected official.
I mentioned Cyrus Vance Sr. because some people might recognize the name and wonder if there is a connection.
You really are bent out of shape nitpicker. You need to take a chill pill.
In the short time Cyrus Vance Jr has been DA he has managed to totally botch the Dominique Strauss-Kahn case where he does his best to grab publicity for himself but doesn’t develop a case that can be prosecuted. This case of course doen’t lend itse lf to suggest that anyone can have confidence in this Liberal DA.
If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit!!
Another useless comment by alpha. Should this guy be prosecuted when common criminals are not. We all know you love liberals.
Look, I don’t own a gun and have never had a concealed carry license anywhere. But even I know that you cannot carry a gun in NYC.

Methinks that this is some sort of test case and not someone who was simply ignorant of the law. And my supposition is just as reasonable as your delusions about creeping liberalism.
“Methinks that this is some sort of test case and not someone who was simply ignorant of the law. And my supposition is just as reasonable as your delusions about creeping liberalism.”
What do you mean by test case? Do you have any documentation or facts other than your own liberal delusions?
Fact: Convicted felons in New York City can turn in guns voluntarily and they will not be prosecuted even if it turns out that the gun turned in was involved in a murder.
Fact: Jerome has no prior record.
Fact: Jerome has a Concealed Carry Permit from the State of Indiana.
Fact: Securing a Concealed Carry Permit requires a criminal background check.
Fact: Liberal DA Cyrus Vance Jr. is prosecuting Sergeant Jerome WHO HAS NO CRIMINAL RECORD UNLIKE THOSE WHO CAN GET PAID TO TURN IN WEAPONS AND WALK AWAY.
Fact: Liberals are willing to ignore the law for proven criminals and to prosecute law abiding citizens as proven by this Case.
Now liberal geek do you have any real facts to offer to this discussion or are you going to do what liberals typically do which is try to change the subject and throw out dumb red herring statements?
I think TW is using the “Liberal” defense.
I think alpha is incapable of framing an argument that defends the behavior of the whack job New York DA Cyrus Vance Jr. Like a typical dumb liberal alpha chooses to change the subject instead of actually debating the issues. Like a typical liberal alpha would rather reward criminals as opposed to treating law abiding citizens fairly. Alpha, nitpicker and liberalgeek refuse to defend fellow liberal DA Vance. Instead all three try to lie, deny, and villify.
Why these liberals refuse to defend the decisions of fellow liberal Cyrus Vance Jr is beyond me. All of them should be willing to their own policies of prosecuting law abiding citizens while proven criminals walk free. This is in fact the liberal way.
What facts do you have to support your stupidly bigoted belief that the people that turn in guns at designated places and times are criminals? Did your hero expect a $50 for his gun? Did he plan to pick it up?
Face it, the Sergeant made a dumb mistake and he refuses to own it even when the price is minimal. That’s why this could be a test case.
Tell you what, let’s let the court system decide if he is at fault. You and the NRA can use this as a way to overturn the gun laws enacted by the city. And if he loses, he goes to jail, just like Plaxico.
What proof do you have that these guns that were turned in to the NY DA Vance were not used in crimes? The October program got 139 guns out of a city of 8 million people. The DA’s office refused to release any information about the guns they obtained. This is typical of Liberals.
Since the Liberal DA looked the other way when the guns were turned in, we will never know if they were used in a crime or not. LIberalgeek knows full well that liberals cover their tracks in these measures. We have a Liberal DA who promises no prosecution and no record keeping if you are a criminal and turn in a gun in New York City. Now Liberal Geek wants records where the Liberals refuse to keep records!!!
This is why liberals are such hypocrites.
Can we actually see the records of the DA for those who have turned in weapons (in October there were only 139 people)
The gun amnesty program is a red herring. There was nothing stopping Jerome from attending one of the buyback events and turning in his gun, if that’s what he wanted.
What kind of fool expects the Empire State Building to have a gun locker at the entrance? He asked the TICKET TAKER where he should check his gun!! Does he not remember WHY the Empire State Building is now the tallest building in New York? Someone that dumb should not be carrying a gun anywhere.
I agree with LG – test case. Bringing a gun to NYC is not a “mistake.” You are not allowed to make “mistakes” with guns without some form of penalty.
What’s next – “I had a licence for that airplane I buzzed the Pentagon with?”
On the bright side, Jerome did find out where to check his gun.
“You are not allowed to make “mistakes” with guns without some form of penalty.”
Unless you are a criminal in New York getting paid for turning in a gun that was involved in a crime.
So Alpha why didn’t the DA Vance prosecute those who voluntarily turn in their guns in the NYC gun buy back program?
This is just further proof that liberals like alpha favor criminals over law abiding citizens who own guns for legitimate personal protection reasons.
It’s not becoming when you are pretending to be stupid, TW. You understand what the word “amnesty” means, right? Pretending to be ignorant of the way that gun buyback policies work is just as inconceivable as thinking that any place north of the Mason-Dixon line would have a place to check your gun.
So what is it, you and the sergeant are ignorant fools, or you are trying to feign ignorance to test the NYC gun laws?
If Jerome showed up in NYC at a gun buyback program, he would not have been arrested. He would have been given $200 like everyone else (including, presumably, convicted felons)
You are comparing apples to oranges.
In the ‘liberal’ lockstep world, everything is upside-down. Two men can ‘marry.’ Homosexual sex is ‘normal.’ Reverse discrimination is ‘legal.’ A blank canvas is ‘art.’ Gibberish is ‘literature.’ Hate is ‘music.’ Hate America and win an Academy Award. A whore is the feminine ideal. Die from crack and get canonized. Show your boob and give the finger at halftime…kids, what kids?
A cultural schism can’t be solved politically.
Interesting… How does one solve these sorts of things? In my studies, it’s been the old guard (that’s you) dying off. I guess you don’t see it, but you and your brand of hate, faux-patriotism and ignorance is a rapidly declining minority. But I’m sure you have enough bile to last the rest of your life, so that’s something.
How do homosexuals create a ‘new’ guard? You may not have noticed, but ‘new’ requires propagation. LOL.
…you and your brand of hate
What is my ‘brand’ of hate?
…faux-patriotism and ignorance…
Which is ‘faux,’ my ‘patriotism’ or my ‘ignorance?’ Idiot.
My offspring will more than offset uneducated, weak twits like you.
I suspect that your offspring (my heart goes out to them) look at your craziness and shake their heads.
Sorry that English is so difficult for you to parse. Your patriotism (that means love of country) is fake. Your ignorance… That’s real.
