Which begs the question, if they found 15 illegal handguns, how come he's only charged with 4 counts???

Maybe it is inappropriate, but now I just gotta know about what is behind the name change.
Going legally from Scott McReynolds to Angel Shamaya would be called "pretty drastic" in the annals of most people.
Anyone know the tale? It is certainly going to come up in Court, even if as an aside.

Oh I don't know, I thought about changing my name to Abdul Abulbul Emir.

, ArtReally? My grandfather changed his name upon hitting the shores of American over 100 years ago. He wanted to Americanize it. My father altered it further, as did my uncle, in a different direction. Hmmmm. Sicilian. Ahhh. I see.
I find it interesting what some people will dwell on, especially when the information was released to the press by the police for the very purpose of making Angel seem, gosh, just a little mysterious.
How does it feel to have gone for the bait and have the hook buried so deep in your jaw?
I know the story behind his name change, which happened 15 or twenty years ago, in a Court of Law and is a matter of public record.
It's actually a pretty cool story, but since it is personal, I'll keep that portion private, as it should be.
Now, back to Angel's legal defense fund. Reports are that money is flowing in. Good. If you can't afford the $100 I mailed off, perhaps $10 or $20? Angel has gotten a top litigator and a gun law expert on his legal team. They don't come cheap. Please consider as large a donation as you can muster without being able to make rent.

The name change is meaningless. He'll probably tell the tale himself eventually.
I've personally seen three cases where a woman falsely charged a guy with violence. Mind you, these are cases where I *know* she was lying. Kind of a long story behind each we need not deal with here. It does indeed happen.

No need to become self-righteous prigs about what amounts to some natural curiousity.
Fact of the matter is that most males in America don't change their names, so it is unusual, no matter why the press vultures put it out there.

How much did AZRickD donate again?
Donations are clearly off-topic, as this thread is about sending letters, not sending money or finding out about the cause one is sending one's money to.

Hey, Hunnerd-dollar Rick, are you gonna write a letter, or will you continue to drag this thread off topic in a discussion of MSSA's early blunders in asking first for letters, then insisting that donations were the appropriate response?
And just so you know, I immediately sent half my paycheck, in cash, as soon as I heard someone had been charged with breaking a gun law. No questions asked.

Fistful,
I'm sorry (not really) that you are so irritated that some would ask for, and others would offer, contributions to Angel's legal defense fund. It says a lot about you.
As well, your description of the letter-writing compaign as a "blunder" because they are now asking for both letters and donations, is really indefensible. But, please, try to defend it. It appears that every time you or some other random apologist-for-gun-registration speaks up, you generate more donations.
Keep it up, please.

Not to sink to your level, but:
Do you want me to keep toying with you, or should I just ask you to check your sense of humor? But perhaps you take yourself too seriously for that.
Gotta go, I'm writing some good arguments for gun registration. I'll e-mail them to you, buddy.

P.S. Just so you understand, most of my last three posts were sarcasm.
True enough. Better add that part about the $100 you donated.

Some of us are embarassing ourselves and THR. Kindly knock it off.
NO PERSONAL ATTACKS. That includes squabbling about who's the biggest and bestest defender of Angel Shamaya and about who's the worst enemy of freedom and liberty.

I'm quite proud of making activism personal...
Like this, from our Arizona Dept of Rev protest:

Yes, please continue. You're inspiring more donations.
Hey, Joe Piscopo. My friend needs help. Your stupid jokes are neither funny, nor appreciated.

Faced with the shock and awe of those links, and because competing with one who has so much to prove is like keeping up with an energetic fourth-grader, I surrender.
You are SO the man!
[Sarcasm still in effect]
fistful out.
