Virginia man gets seven years in prison for stealing Obama’s
teleprompter
By Eric Pfeiffer, Yahoo! News| The Sideshow –

(AP)President Obama’s teleprompter may be more valuable than even his
biggest critics claim. After all, a man who stole Obama’s teleprompter
was sentenced to seven years in federal prison.

"The theft of government property is a serious offense," Assistant
U.S. Attorney Roderick Young said during Virginia resident Eric
Brown’s sentencing hearing. "It's all the more serious when the
property belongs to the White House Communications Agency."

Brown, 49, agreed to the lengthy sentence in order to avoid being
prosecuted for 14 other truck thefts, according to NBC News. Virginia
sentencing guidelines stipulated a prison term of about three years
for the theft of government property.

Over the past 30 years, Brown has been convicted of 36 crimes.

"If I had to sum up Mr. Brown's character, it would be that he's a
thief," Judge John A. Gibney said.

Still, Brown’s defense attorney David Lett told NBC the sentencing
agreement "gives Mr. Brown the opportunity to start anew if he wants
to do so."

However, Virginia’s Stafford County refused to join in Brown’s plea
agreement, meaning he faces yet another potential conviction.

Conservative critics of Obama have long mocked what they consider his
reliance on the teleprompter device, which displays speech text on a
rolling screen.

Back in 1994, President Clinton gave what is widely considered one of
the more memorable State of the Union addresses after his teleprompter
experienced technical difficulties and he was forced to give an
impromptu remarks for several minutes.

Although the truck itself was empty when it was recovered by law
enforcement authorities, several of the stolen items later turned up
at various Maryland pawn shops.

For his part, Brown said he did not know the black Ford truck he stole
was owned and operated by the White House when he took the vehicle
back on October 16, 2011 from a hotel parking lot in Virginia. And
while it’s true that the exterior of the vehicle did not bear any
official government signage, prosecutors said several computers and
pieces of audio equipment found inside the truck did bear the
presidential seal.

Brown said he specifically targeted Ford F-350 and F-450 trucks
because he felt they were easy to steal.

Naaa. A habitual criminal got busted and sent to prison. I wonder
why the OP used the term "conservative" in the title?

Fuck him; feed him fish heads for the next six years. I disagree that
pinching the presidential prompter is any greater of a crime than
taking your property or mine, though. He has just spent four decades
falling through the underfunded system; finally, he just picked the
wrong vehicle and attracted the attention of people with the resources
to well and truly fuck him. It should'a been done years ago, I say,
and it has not a damn thing to do with his politics.
