LOCAL MILLION MOM MARCH CHAPTER
HEAD JAILED
FOLLOWING DRUG,
WEAPONS CHARGESTom Shafer SCRA Meeting April 4, 2006 Springfield's Million Mom March Activist Annette "Flirty" Stevens, who became an anti-gun-violence activist after her son was shot to death in 2002, pled guilty to a felony drug charge and was sentenced to 60 days in the Sangamon County Jail and three years probation. Charges of possession of an illegal gun that had its serial number ground off, and ammunition were dropped in a plea agreement. There was no firing pin in the handgun. Shafer said Stevens sold a controlled substance to an undercover police officer. That indicates she pled out because that's a case that you cannot beat in court. No jury acquits you. So she had to plead. She got a deal and she got off pretty easy for being a drug dealer in possession of a firearm, not just a drug addict. Shafer said he can have a little sympathy for a drug addict but he has no sympathy at all for people who sell that poison to others. Stevens avoided prison. What really got Shafer sitting in the courtroom was her trying to take away his gun rights while she's dealing dope, and he's supposed to listen to anything she has to say! Calling Shafer names for being a gun owner. It really grated on him. So Shafer wrote a letter to the judge as a friend of the court. He urged the judge, "maximum penalty please if you so choose." Of course the judge has total sentencing decisions. Shafer said she wants to take my gun away and yet she's owning them illegally and, she stood up before the major media representing the Million Mom March of Springfield (as its local chairman). Phil Davis commented the State's Attorney was the one who made the deal on the possession and the sale of narcotics and dropping the state weapons charge. However the defacement of a firearm is a federal charge. Could we not get a US attorney to reinstate the defacement charge? Shafer said not likely after a plea agreement. In any event, she wasn't a FOID card holder before and she wasn't supposed to own a gun. She won't own one now because she's a convicted felon for the rest of her life! Anytime she tries to be an activist now, they'll have to say "activist and convicted felon So Shafer is happy with the felony conviction. Shafer says he didn't make her a felon, she made herself a felon by selling drugs on two occasions to an undercover police officer. -2-
Anti-gun
activist's son arrested after police find two guns hidden in pants
Toronto
(Toronto Star) - The son of a Toronto anti-gun violence activist faces
multiple gun-related charges after he was arrested with two sawed-off
rifles hidden down his pants.
Police from the Emergency Task Force surrounded the house of Kadfi Farquharson, 23, on Duncanwoods Rd. in the Finch and Islington area just before 4p.m. yesterday after being called to the area by a man who said someone had tried to shoot him. Yesterday the man called police after getting into an argument with a group of four men. He told police that after turning his back on the men, someone shot at him once. Police aren't sure whether the victim knew his shooter or what brought about the alleged attack. When Kadfi Farquharson emerged from his house police searched him and found two sawed-off rifles concealed in his pants. Police also arrested a 17-year old boy with ammunition for a high-powered rifle. Along with the two guns, police also recovered one shell casing from a bullet. Farquharson's mother, Julia Farquharson, is a founding member of United Mothers Opposing Violence Everywhere (UMOVE), and speaks to dozens of groups across the city to plead for an end to gun violence. -3-
