"Ayro fled the scene but Gwinnett County Police caught up with him a short time later. He is charged with two counts of aggravated assault, and being a felon in possession of a firearm."

But as we know, people who commit homicide with a firearm almost always have extensive prior criminal histories.

unedited version. Does the name Jame O'Keefe mean anything to you? Even so, interstate sale would involve an FFL or someone should be in federal prison.

...to met political objectives - cry my a river.

Of course I know who James O'Keefe is - James O'Keefe is not an employee or contractor of the City of New York. You're reminding me here of the posters in the main forums who when I discuss human rights in the People's Republic of China go off on a rant about Iraq and AIPAC.

yes. Were they NYC employees or MAIG flunkies? NYPD has no jurisdiction and no violations, if any, were reported to the ATF. So, yes I am saying that NYC might have deliberately falsified the recording.

I never said O'Keefe worked for NYC, only that he probably inspired MAIG's video editing techniques.

WTF does Iraq and AIPAC have to do with anything?

Well then I suggest you contact the City of New York, here I'll make it easy: http://www.nyc.gov/portal/site/nycgov/menuitem.5c62a7e8b62b6607a62fa24601c789a0/

Let them know your concerns about the possible dishonesty in the editing of these tapes, I'm sure they'd love to hear from you.
