Ted Gest (Washington D.C. Attorney General's Office)

"We took it into account that he saved this boy's life."

- "He" is a guy who used a gun in Washington D.C. to shoot a pit bull which was mauling a boy.

This guy is a hero!  Surely he's being treated like one, right?  Nah!  He has to pay a $1,000 fine for carrying a gun which wasn't registered in D.C.

You'd think he'd get a pass this time for saving a young boy's life, right?  Nah, no pass for this good deed.

"I don’t think he should be charged at all because it's an act of heroism." - Chris Speight (cousin of the boy)

The "hero" isn't some kind of criminal; he has no criminal record.  And his weapons are registered in next-door Maryland...But the morons in D.C. must get their pound of flesh.  Such is the il-logic in Loonyville, USA.

Thankfully, this "hero" chose to give his pound of flesh instead of walking away and letting the dog continue to take the little boy's.
