All of the information on the charges and terms of the plea agreement were taken directly off the case report on the Denver court’s website. You can find it yourself, easy.
There is some account of the spat between Lane and the Country R Chair, Ryan Call, on FaceTheState here:
http://facethestate.com/by-the…
Even if Dennis Kucinich moved to the district and registered R, he’d still lose to the D by 30 points.
I just thought it was worth pointing out that the “party of morals” picked a criminal over a police officer (his republican opponent).
And I don’t think it’s unreasoanble to point out that this is just the last in a series of unscrupulous characters (maes, mcinnis, buck,… palin) to come out of the republican grinder lately.
that the police officer was a moral man either. They do not of necessity go hand in hand.
pleading a domestic violence charge down to a non domestic violence charge.
And so are you.
You are twisting facts to serve your own take on this story.
First of all, the assault charge was dismissed. And he only plead guilty to the Disturbing the Peace charge because he didn’t want to pay for a long trial that wouldn’t get him anything.
Second, you obviously don’t know anything about the victim and if she hasn’t decided to come forward, that’s too bad. She’ll just have to deal with the way Bob tells the story, and so will you.
Third, I find it convenient that you wrote this the day before he gets off of probation so that you could say “is currently on”. If you wrote this on Thursday, you wouldn’t have been able to say that.
Finally, I find it repulsive that you would soil the name of a good man like Bob Lane with these lies, when you admit how horrible his opponent is.
You should be ashamed of yourself. As should Ryan Call and the rest of the Republican’s that have turned their back on the man who got the vast majority of the votes in the primary, and the only candidate in this race committed to changing the right things for our state.
Seriously.
Ok, I guess I’m a bad American or something for not wanting my lawmakers to be criminals.
My bad.
As long as you are really, really ashamed of yourself. You Commmie you.
Well done and rec’d.
I’ve overwhelmed with remorse and self-doubt ever since the “TrueRep” showed me th error of my ways.
I’ll be turning myself over to homeland security now.
sounds relevant to me, regardless of whether or not the sentence has been served. Something this recent can’t fairly be described as a youthful indiscretion.
This is the same information that would be gathered in any routine background check for an employee for all manner of jobs, and the people of Colorado are being asked to hire Bob Lane for a two year position that pays a little more than $30,000 a year, so it is certainly fair to bring up this kind of public record.
Also, as far as I can tell, none of the points in your comment contradict the original post, so it is hard to see how these are lies.
Realistically, in HD 9, Bob Lane is a sacrificial lamb candidate in any case, so it won’t affect the state very much.
Incidentally, I suspect that one of the motivations in the plea deal was the fact that a conviction on the original charge would have meant a lifetime ban on gun ownership, while the charge of conviction does not have that effect.
would have meant so much more to me if you hadn’t registered on Pols only just a few minutes before providing your “facts.”
And right after I posted this, no less.
This smells to me like someone with a google alert for bob lane rushing in to defend.
I’ll leave the speculation to others and simply point out how well the defense mirrors statements on bob’s website. Hmm.
But the real question is whether or not he is now disqualified to get or keep a private cary permit?
Jeez, I saw that headline for this diary and thought to myself, “Oh great, some right-wing screed against an illegal alien in Denver and sanctuary.”
I have to say, this is much more to my liking than what I expected.
Glad you liked it. Tell your friends.
Wasn’t the guy’s name Dean? Broke into his girl friend’s house, did other bad things, she wouldn’t press charges, they had great making up sex and got married.
Or, something like that. I wish my memory was 10% as good as Voyageur’s.
Was the insurance commissioner after he left the legislature, now director of the PUC.
And wasn’t the lovely lady an NRA lobbyist?
being a PERA hopeful, and writing the name of that PERA scammer without spitting on the ground.
Well, the floor of my dear departed mom’s (bless her soul) basement.
DD is living proof that doing evil is no impediment to success or happiness.
I hear his victim/gf/wife was good at cleaning out his rifle…….
