I just posted a piece over at the home page detailing how prosecutorial mistakes and a politically correct judge exposed Americans to a potential massacre. In 2011, Garland shooter Elton Simpson received probation for lying to federal officials, but he avoided a much harsher sentence in part because judge Mary H.
