No. Just trying to illustrate, in my typically sarcastic way, of the idiocy of people calling for gun laws when guns have nothing to do with the issue.
EX: Man drives truck into crowd on sidewalk then gets out and stabs people. Progressive response is to call for gun control.

http://www.kktv.com/content/news/Col...475480273.htmlDistrict Attorney Rubinstein sent the following statement to 11 News on Thursday:
While there has been some news coverage on the travesty of justice that occurred with the release of Michael McFadden, I think it is important for the community to know what occurred so that they can take action at the next election of court of appeals judges Jones, Graham and Welling. The court of appeals blames both the trial judge and the legislature, but in my opinion, the court of appeals got this one wrong. I have already been in touch with Sen. Ray Scott, Rep. Dan Thurlow, and Rep. Yeulin Willett to change the statute, even though I still believe that they could have affirmed the conviction without the change.
The defendant was charged with sexually assaulting 6 children and being a habitual sex offender against children. The trials of all of these victims were consolidated. On two previous occasions, the defense asked for a continuance and waived his right to a speedy trial in order to secure the continuance. Prior to the third trial date, there was a jury questionnaire which was drafted by the defense which referenced Mr. McFadden's prior offense, which both parties were comfortable with, given the court's ruling that the facts of the prior offense were going to be admissible.

Mr. McFadden was convicted of nineteen counts as well as being adjudged a habitual sex offender, and was sentenced to more than 300 years in prison.
How is any court supposed to honor the right to speedy trial when the defense already waived it for their own benefit?
Maybe we'll get him when he molests kid #7+?

It's for a prior from 1990...
http://www.kktv.com/content/news/Col...475480273.htmlGRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKTV) - A man who was freed on a technicality from a more than 300-year prison sentence was put back behind bars Friday night in El Paso County.
Michael McFadden made national headlines earlier this week when he was released from the Arkansas Valley Correctional Facility in Ordway on Tuesday. He had been convicted of sexually assaulting half a dozen children, his latest conviction was tossed out because of issues in the jury selection process that resulted in a delayed trial. According to the Colorado Department of Corrections, the minimum sentence he would have faced was 316 years.
McFadden, 46, appealed his 2015 conviction, claiming pre-trial delays violated state laws for a speedy trial. In June 2017, the Colorado Court of Appeals ruled in his favor and threw out his conviction.
The Colorado Supreme Court decided on Feb. 12 not to hear the appeal, meaning the lower courts ruling which did not allow the case to be re-tried, would stand.
Authorities learned on Thursday McFadden still had to register as a sex offender for a prior sexual assault on a child sentence in 1990. An arrest warrant was issued. He was arrested at the El Paso County Department of Human Services at about 4:30 in the afternoon on Friday. It isn't clear if McFadden has the means or option to bond out. 11 News has a request into the police department for more information.
Too bad he wasn't subject to a Universal Background Check and a system that has records of such things, cus it totally wouldn't have happened then. Ya know, for the kids... oh, wait...
