Angel update
The Geek reports that Angel Shamaya has reached a deal:
The judge overseeing the case ordered the police to give Angel’s guns back, but he must register the handguns in compliance with Michigan law (euphemistically called a “safety inspection”, but it is clearly registration, a law adopted in the 20s to keep guns out of the hands of Blacks). The only charges on the table were four misdemeanor counts of failure to present a handgun for a safety inspection. The theoried charge discussed in the media and on the Net about “menacing” and threats was not advanced by prosecutors, because there was no substance to the theoried charge. Police and prosecutors figured this out after looking at the facts and evidence.
Legal fees were about $10K.
