Gun Store Owner angry about light sentences for burglars of his store [View All]

[RamboLiberal]

After hearing two of the three men who robbed his gun store sentenced to two years in prison Wednesday, John Ciesielski walked out of U.S. District Judge Alan N. Bloch's courtroom disappointed.

"I just think the sentence was light, entirely too light, for what they did," said Mr. Ciesielski, who runs the Jolar Inc. gun store in New Kensington. He said the three men, ages 18 and 19 at the time of the 2009 theft, stole 14 guns, for which he had paid $7,167, and promptly sold them on the street for pocket money, after which at least one was involved in a shooting.

The defendants, all of whom lived close to the store, were described by their own attorneys as "a bunch of dropouts" and "knuckleheads." Their crime involved throwing a brick through the store window, turning a security camera, and tossing the guns into a car trunk.

Prosecutors said they sold the guns to a juvenile, and had asked another juvenile to conduct a diversionary shooting that never actually occurred.

I don't blame him. IMHO should be at least 10 years. A toddler was shot in the foot by someone using one of the stolen guns.
