The penalty for stealing Obama's teleprompter isn't a slap on the wrist.
From the Washington Post:
It was no Republican plot, but someone made off with the teleprompter that has been the subject of conservative jokes about President Obama. Also stolen were the presidential seals. And Obama’s lectern.What a lame account of the case!
In fact, Eric Brown stole enough equipment from the office of the president that he could have staged his own presidential news conference — if he hadn’t pawned some of the gear at shops in Prince George’s and Montgomery counties.
In federal court in Virginia on Thursday, the Richmond man, 49, was sentenced to seven years in prison for brazenly taking a truck containing $200,000 worth of audio equipment used by the president.
The October 2011 theft in Henrico County occurred days before Obama was scheduled to make a speech at a North Chesterfield, Va., fire station. Other items taken included a laptop, flag, amplifiers and microphones.
You can bet the Post Leftists would be laughing about a similar heist if the target had been a Republican. They might be cheering it.
Instead, to borrow from Joe Biden, it's a "big f---ing deal."
Brown loses seven years of his freedom as punishment for the crime.
If only vulnerable, innocent babies were considered as valuable and worth protecting as Obama's teleprompter, podium, and presidential seals.
Obama not commenting on Philly infanticide case. But, on a related topic, the man who stole his Teleprompter has been sentenced to death.
