“Patrick Sullivan was such a popular sheriff that Arapahoe County renamed the jail after him when he retired,” ABC News reports. “Sullivan, arrested on drug charges this week, is now an inmate in the Patrick J. Sullivan Jr. Detention Facility.”
What happened?
The former top cop in Arapahoe County, which includes Littleton, Colo., is facing charges that he planned to distribute methamphetamine after police found him allegedly offering to trade the drug for sex with a man.
Curious. Pathetic and sad, if true.
And outrageous for those of us who do not face such inner demons, or display such profound hypocrisy and lack of self control. For Sullivan was a major proponent of citizen disarmament, the demand that law enforcement official like him—who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution and whose department was a recipient of “war on drugs” largesse—should be the “only ones” society trusts as sound enough to keep and bear modern firearms.
From an NBC Colorado affiliate, 9News.com, we find:
At the time [a 1989 standoff], Sullivan used the event to champion gun control. He held up a semiautomatic weapon on TV and demanded more restrictions.
And from Second Amendment scholar, author and attorney Dave Kopel we learn:
[T]he most powerful enemy of the Right to Bear Arms in Colorado is a Republican, Sheriff Pat Sullivan of Arapahoe County. He refuses to grant licensed, trained citizens a permit to carry a gun for self-defense. He abuses and misapplies federal law in order to harass gun collectors. And in 1989, he tried to scare the Legislature into banning semi-automatic firearms. His tactics were classic bait and switch. Trying to outlaw semi-automatics, he passed out photographs of automatics -- weapons that had nothing to do with his bill.

The pervert suffered the ultimate irony.
One pardon from Comrade 0bama, and he’s got his replacement for that turd Eric Holder.
What’s left unsaid in this story is that meth use is rampant in the homosexual community, where they use it to enhance their sexual activities. The media will never talk about how many of the “perfectly normal” queers just happen to be hardcore drug addicts.
I have never understood why my fellow citizens insist on creating powerful armed governments. We all know how evil man can be. To combat said evil we concentrate tremendous powers into the hands of our fellow man. These same men time after time use that power to enrich themselves and perpetrate evil.
What is the answer? No perfect answer on this shiite hole planet we live on. But, the best I can figure is to make an armed government stare an equally armed and dangerous citizen squarely in the face.
We try “rule of law” but even this requires moral men. So force against force is the answer I guess. But who knows in this cesspool called earth.
Put him in gen pop and throw away the key.
If you want to read the original story from the investigator who actually worked on the story for many months and broke it before anyone else, not to mention all the facts about the case and allegations that the ABC failed to mention (probably because it wasn’t their story to begin with), then I suggest you check out this link and see what all this is about http://www.newworldorderreport.com/News/tabid/News/tabid/266/ID/9217/Pat-Sullivan-Investigation-Deepens-Alleged-Sex-Tape-Found-and-Male-Bath-house-Raoded.aspx
