Jury finds NRA liable for mismanagement, says Wayne LaPierre violated duties

This needed to happen....
ReplyDeleteIf there is a legitimate crime on the members of the nra , then the people harmed should get back their money , not the government.
ReplyDeleteYes, why isn't this between the NRA organization and LaPierre? Probably the "Honest Services Act," a catch-all law to be used on anybody TPTB wants to get. I still get American Rifleman, even though I haven't paid dues for several years. I kept writing "Not until WLP goes" or similar on the renewal forms. In the current issue of AR, there is a glowing self-tribute to Wayne on page 12.
DeleteYou and me both. The only thing I add is that the whole board needs to resign for allowing La Pee Aire to get away with his grift.
DeleteI ain't defending the NRA, but the darkie in the New York State wood pile is Letita James.
ReplyDeleteNow if she'd only go after the Black Lives matter folks in the same manner...
ReplyDeleteLet's see the bitch go after some other crooks as well. Like The United Way, Act Blue, and the like. When hell freezes over.

THAT will never happen, but I heard LaPierre was a crook.
DeleteI thought he violated his duty to the NRA by still having it based in New York. When all the gun manufacturers were starting to look to get out if he was doing his job he should have been saying we need to leave also
ReplyDeleteThe surprise is that a jury took five days to vote to convict.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Letitia and company can't pick juries either.
