21 Murdered Birds Need Justice
"This February 21 federally protected wading birds, including herons, egrets and ibises, were shot for fun by recent graduates of the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md who were enrolled in the Naval Aviation Command in Pensacola, Fla. Seven people were arrested after the Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) responded to shots and saw birds falling from the sky. The charges? Three got felony trespassing and the rest received misdemeanor trespassing, while state and federal charges are still pending."

Despicable. Absolutely disgusting.
that is sickening!
On the positive side (assuming there is one), if the three are convicted of the felony trespassing charges, they'll never be able to legally possess a firearm again. See 18 U.S.C. s. 922(g)(1).
Of course, it appears that these guys have shown disregard for the law anyways.
LOSERS!!!
