I don't know much about this guy other than what I'm seeing in the recent news. What I am seeing all agrees on one central point: Mr. Ferguson has actively advocated for stronger penalties for carrying a weapon on school grounds. Not for stronger penalties for shooting in schools, but for carrying.
Advocating for stronger penalties for an action while asking for leniency for the same action shows is hypocracy. I don't care about his other views. He should be charged with a felony. Hate to see it happen to a guy working to make his neighborhood better, but it would set a great example. When you screw up, you pay the price. As it is now, he is serving a poor example for the kids who look up to him, by trying to weasel out of a clear mistake he made, that has serious consequences.
