... They lied to me...

U.S. Supreme Court
SKINNER v. STATE OF OKL. EX REL. WILLIAMSON, 316 U.S. 535 (1942)
316 U.S. 535
SKINNER
v.
STATE OF OKLAHOMA ex rel. WILLIAMSON, Atty. Gen. of Oklahoma.
No. 782.
Argued and Submitted May 6, 1942.
Decided June 1, 1942.
Petitioner was convicted in 1926 of the crime of stealing chickens and was sentenced to the Oklahoma State Reformatory.
You can read the whole case if you like. The man was convicted for felony theft of chickens. This is just one of many.
So.... you decide to come on here and within 8 posts you are going to pick a fight with everyone? Hmmm.... Maybe this isn't the forum for you.Are you saying these things to make yourself out to be far above anyone else on here. Is it because you have been on here longer that makes you feel that you are so far beyond anyone else? I do not understand your figuratively looking down your nose at me because I am the new guy on here. It seems that most of the others get what the point is.
I did not see you asking for legal proof of God!
Sorry I did not say CHICKENS plural instead I said CHICKEN singular!
You must be a lawyer!
If you notice I did not say I was charged with stealing jumper cables, I thought being a lawyer you would recognize that. The charge was burglary of of vehicle.
Are you one of those people that when ask to sweep the floor you only sweep the part they pointed at? Then when ask why you did not sweep the floor your claim is that you did sweep it exactly where they pointed.
Come on! I thought you had more common sense than that.
Fallschirmjäger said:The gentleman in question was convicted once of stealing chickens and twice of robbery. That made him a "habitual criminal."
Note please, chickens, not chicken.
If one steals a single chicken worth $10 on the open market that's a misdemeanor.
If one steels a hundred chickens worth $1,000 on the open market that's a felony.
Real common sense here.
I'm confused; if you are agreeing with me then "thanks, it was nothing", if not - -
Are you saying that there's a difference between robbing someone of a single $100 bill and robbing them of ten $10 dollar bills?
I'm on your side in regards to not denying people of their right to be able to provide for their own self defense (as the government has decided that it has no responsibility for such)
I am saying that you are citing to the wrong examples to prove your point.
The case you are citing to is about whether or not Williams was rightly sterilized. If you want to argue that Williams was wrongly imprisoned for stealing chickens or a chicken, cite to the case where he was convicted of that.
Williams' stealing of a chicken or chickens may have been a mistake, a lark, a joke or even youthful indiscretion. Two Armed Robberies that followed were not.
Williams lost his nuts, and THAT was ruled as violating his rights.
Getting better with the cites, however, you missed the point of it. The chicken stealing charge was in 1926. The underlying felony was stealing chickens worth more than $20. So..... he didn't steal A chicken, he stole many chickens. Do you know how many chickens could be bought for $20 in 1926? (I don't but more than one).
$20 in 1926, according to http://www.dollartimes.com/calculators/inflation.htm (see, that is a cite) is $244.89 today. I know that in MO, writing a check that bounces that is over $250 is a felony. (can't find the cite, sorry).
Are you more pissed that you were bullied into giving up your rights or that stealing jumper cables from a truck is a felony?
