45. I did
Graham was released. It was my understanding that she was a co founder. If that is not the case, then I was in error. I did admit that mistake. The original source, the Washington Post, said that she was co founder. I retracted and pointed out that the person you and poet was referring to was not I was talking about. Since I said that Dees was not the person in my post, I call that retracting and correcting my record. Either way, Graham was still convicted of trying to kill and innocent person.
Deeper research since my post finds that Graham was a member of MMM listed as co-organizer. It is not my fault that the Post gave the wrong information.
How is this: Grahm was not co-founder but a co-organizer. Is that a distinction without a difference? Her exact convictions on the federal level were: Assault With Intent To Kill While Armed (another distinction without a difference), Aggravated Assault While Armed, Mayhem While Armed, three separate counts of Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Crime of Violence, and other related gun charges.
On the DC local laws: Carrying Pistol Without License, Unregistered Firearm, and Illegal Possession Of Ammunition.

One honest mistake and two distinctions without a difference.

If you took offence that I said that the average bong owner contributes more to gun violence than the NRA 99.9 percent of all gun owners combined, I stand by that. That is the bottom line based on DOJ statistics and every criminology book I have read.
