ATF recruits brain-damaged black man as stooge for trumped-up gun crimes

When the ATF can't find real people committing gun crimes, it must fabricate those crimes itself in order to justify its very existence. The latest victim to be ensnared in the ATF's ongoing racket of trumped-up "gun crimes" is a brain-damaged, mentally retarded black man named Chauncey Wright. He nearly drowned as an infant, and the sustained lack of oxygen to his brain caused permanent brain damage.

This, in the view of the ATF, made him the "perfect stooge" to carry out their devious entrapment plot. He was also targeted because he had a felony conviction on his record from 2007 when he was caught selling $10 bags of cocaine on the street. This felony record meant that handling a gun was itself a whole new felony.

To entice Wright into committing "crimes" for the ATF, he was given cigarettes, cash and gifts by the ATF to distribute flyers for an undercover storefront set up by the ATF itself. He rode his bike around town and handed out flyers, talking up the store to friends and town residents. The ATF also had Wright stock store shelves with "shoes, clothing, drug paraphernalia and auto parts," according to press reports (see source, below).

After six months of entrapping this brain-damaged man and enticing him with cigarettes and cash, the ATF arrested him and charged him with gun crimes and drug violations.

This is your government at work, building a police state system of entrapment and exploitation of innocent victims.

As the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported:

"I have never heard of anything so ludicrous in my life," said Greg Thiele, who spent 30 years working for the Milwaukee Police Department including on undercover stings with federal agents, including those with the ATF. "Something is very wrong here."


The story goes on to state:

"This is real exploitation," said Shirin Cabraal, managing attorney for Disability Rights Wisconsin. "It's morally outrageous."
