A well written
article posted to the
stltoday.com website talking about South Carolina gamefowl breeders being the target of a federal grand jury probe as them really pissed. I would be pissed too if the government wasted my tax dollars investigating such things and wasting my time. Here is an excerp of the article:
A federal grand jury has been looking into cockfighting in South Carolina, and federal and state law officers are set soon to reveal new details of their probe.
"It's an ongoing investigation, and I expect other charges will be brought against other people, but at this point, I can't say much more," assistant U.S. Attorney Kevin McDonald said this week.
In early November, the grand jury indicted 21 people for felony animal fighting and illegal gambling at sites in Williamsburg and Lexington counties. Thirty-six others face state misdemeanor charges of attending cockfights. Last week, six people who attended events in Williamsburg County pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges. More pleas are expected.
The article is well worth the read so please take a look and perhaps shoot the assistant U.S. Attorney Kevin McDonald an email (sorry I couldn't find his email address) or a phone call (ph.# (803) 929-3000) expressing your dismay at the use of tax payer funds.
