Parents selling their kids off in marriges. Humans are very weird creatures man. We are capable of the best things and also the worst possible.

it's funny because this cat was one of the most vocal politicians in the crusade against violent videogames. It's wild that he's actually a GTA character.

He's also the former representative for my neighborhood.

State Sen. Leland Yee, an outspoken advocate of gun control and open government, was arrested Wednesday on charges that he conspired to traffic in firearms and traded favors in Sacramento for bribes - campaign cash paid by men who turned out to be undercover FBI agents.

making guns illegal/increasing gun control only disarms the law abiding citizens

I think it's surprising because elected officials are supposed to be the best of people, the ones who are to be immune to indulging in there desires. If this was a school teacher or even a businessman I doubt people would be as surprised, this Yee guy turned democracy on its heels.

It's bad when this isn't even a surprise anymore.

Not surprising at all anymore.

Any politician is capable of doing anything for power and money.

There is no democracy in California. the system was run over by the Bay Area political machine 2 decades ago. Just try to find a statewide officeholder that's not from the Bay Area. Even the Minority leader of Congress & the two U.S. Senators are from San Francisco. They're on the "best of people", just the ones who have played to the party bosses the best.

Lol I think that's too strong of a statement, I believe some politicians are naturally good people. I'm guessing you're going of that fact that this has been common lately.

I'm not from California lol, I guess I should rephrase my comment to "California has turned Democracy on its heels" lol.
